Either Ibuki really sucks in this game, or they dont want to make her look too good. Either way, I’m tired of seeing her ass dragged in these demonstrations
Wait till @“DevilJin 01” , @Skiegh or someone like Sako himself get a hold of Ibuki. Through them and everyone else within this thread discussion, Ibuki’s true potential will be properly revealed.
She lost so much, that I noticed that her skirt seems to disappear when she loses? Also not sure how useful her kunais will be considering the charging time seems ridiculous.
She looks good to me. Often Combofiend dropped combos with her, and was not using her arsenal well in general the very last round it did look like he had a brain fart and forgotten jump back kunai is gone before the final ko.
Damn nearly every character people pick up suck at first in this game that is part of Honest Fighter V’s charm once upon a time Ryu and Ken were in wheelchairs before learning how to walk again. She is a highly technical character whose had her gameplay focus shifted from SFIV that will take some adjusting too. I think she has great potential to win in Honest Fighter V.
It also takes alot of skill to use ibuki, she’s never been ‘mastered’ yet. If she was that easy to pick up, I would’ve already lost interest in the character. Actually, it goes to show with any character that I pick.
It doesn’t really disappear, it just flips over. Also, if we take a look at how long at how much time it takes to charge one kunai, it’s almost instant. You wouldn’t do a full charge if the opponent has something to punish you for it. Now, if you can come up with a plan to organize it in a way that you optimize only six kunai’s in a match, or combine reloading in a combo, potentially canceling the reload animation- then you’d be a genius.
You rack patience my son. There will be time for her to look good. When Combofiend demonstrated Sim everyone thought he would be bad too.
Maybe it’s just me, but I find it ironic that everyone’s talking about honesty in a ninja’s moveset like it’s a good thing. I could be wrong here, but I thought the whole point of playing a ninja was doing sneaky, underhanded shit.
Hahaha… I actually realized this much later on that Ibuki isn’t an honest character by backstory. She’s not a samurai, but a ninja that’s hella dishonorable. When she’s in the game and you pick that character- you’re not playing honest fighter anymore lololol.
Hopefully this can help you guys get a feel for how she plays in the world of SFV.
I am super rusty in all things FGC related. SFV like completely destroyed my desire to do anything fighting game related. Despite the underlying problems to the game, I will try my hardest to have as much passion about SFV Ibuki as I did for 3S Ibuki. I mean, I clearly had it – wouldn’t of wasted hours making the thing in my description if I didn’t. (Which I have every intention of going over completely once the frame data and things of the sort are all out for Ibuki.)
Man, we’re getting close. I’m nervous. I want her to give me a reason to care about SFV, I really do. Would be so nice. I’m also torn on if I want to spend the first 5 hours in story mode to see Urien, Juri and the like, or if I want to devote it entirely to Ibuki training mode. Mmm…
I’ll likely remain in training room for days before I even bother doing matches. Though if we plan to do lobbies with those of us here, I’d be down for that, of course.
I’m RSVPing for SRK Ibuki lobby right now.
Maybe you might want to hold on some training specifically for characters that are not out yet. Anytime, they can change around moves so that they don’t link, or whatever they think needs balancing. But, I don’t want to be the person that tells you what to do. When ibuki’s out, I’m gonna try to collect information as much as I can and share if I can.
I’ll be honest, sometimes SFV does feel boring. It’s probably because they needed more time to make it more ‘fun’ and ‘interesting’ I don’t go out of my own way to hit training mode, because the game feels pretty shallow atm, you know? It’s like, you already know what you’re doing, but you just can’t bring yourself to go any further, because it feels like a chore; not fun. I’d love to play some matches with you guys or even discuss more potential stuff, just because I feel like there’s a good amount of information that can be pulled; they basically said: “Okay, here’s ibuki with a buncha options with infinite possibilities. You do whatever you want.” Man, it’s like getting lego from a gift lol.
I did not play that trash of a game and i refuse to play anything that sticks to the same antics of it.
V isn’t as bad but there’s some characters where their jab is just that deal. Stuffing it is a chore and doesn’t always work and you’re risking it all just to do it even when you know to read right. I think the frusttration with a lot of people in this game isn’t so much that it’s high paced, it’s that they know what’s gonna happen, but they’re having issues stuffing it or rather the window of opportunity in stuffing things in this game is so low that if you time it even ever so slightly late you lose 40% to 60% of your life bar just like that.
That can really be infuriating when its all over a jab I know you’ll do and the HERPDERP fierce normals that are supposed to stuff it don’t work.
step up your meaty/blocking game then
everytime i get hit by jab i blame myself for letting it happen. besides when you get hit by it, it doesnt lead to anything big anyway (unless you are playing against fully stocked necalli)
is mike D in that gootecks setup vid, seatle’s mikey D/mike davis?
So now we’ve seen more of her…DOES she have high damage? Everything I’ve seen so far is against another 900hp character and we’ve already seen how brutal this can be.
Wow Ibuki’s corner 2-bar corner combo did insane damage. I thought Rashid was suppose to be a quick trickery character, but he doesn’t have much trickery nor does he have much damage, lol.
14 days left at most guys.
Her damage is easily some of the higher damage in the game. What will also make her appear more high damage is that she can get big damage in situations where other characters can’t. Especially in anti air. There’s a lot of characters you can jump against in this game where you can’t lose more than 100 health from unless they go air to air with you. Ibuki can b+MP you into raida seemingly pretty reliably for what will be at least 150 or more damage, b+MP, V Trigger, command dash raida, bomb explode should do pretty hefty damage and stun and b+MP command dash super should also really hurt.
Have we seen a resourceless way to combo into super?
Not on video, but unless something is really off with the juggle potential after b+MP you should be able to command dash in and juggle super.
