Nah she is super good. Just gotta put in the time and up your footsie game. She just doesn’t have any super easy cheesy stuff to exploit
yea, none
I have a meaty cr.MP after f+HK combo. In my video I use 4 kunai and 2 EX meters.
If you’re still mid-screen after the first EX Kunai, you’ll have to replace the LK dash in my video with MK dash. You want to reset the opponent with f+HK as late as possible, so that an immediate cr. MP will hit meaty. Outside of the corner st. MP doesn’t reach, but you can still link st. LK/MK, or HK/EX Kazegiri after the meaty cr. MP. Basically in that situation, you want to do either the st. MK target combo - and cancel into the 2nd bomb or a command dash - or st. LK x Raida/Kazegiri.
judging by what i see i think you can swap f+hk for b+mp into command dash reset allowing for a true 50/50 side guess.
For some reason, I keep messing up the input for her multi-kunai. Every so often, I’ll end up just tossing one out even if I’m holding the button down. Any tips for fixing this?
Not trying to derail this thread (if it happens I apologize in advance), but for the people getting frustrated and blaming it on the character only need to look inward.
This character has only been released for a couple days maybe a week(?); be patient she’s not a pick up & play character.
-
Learn her combos
-
Get used to her normal so you are able to play in neutral
-
Patience.

???

Profit.
Ye but you wanna get out and play cus thats where the fun is! well… i guess you dont wanna lose a bunch either
had much more success with her playing keep away and harassing with normals from a distance.
i feel you have to play next level footsies and great hit confirms with her to get mileage.
she has damage differential problems like rashid…weaker pressure than rashid. can create more ambiguous scenarios tho.
Do you have more then 1 kunai in stock on a regular? I’d like to ask how do you throw 1 or 2 because that is what i am trying to do.
You actually don’t need to do the motion of your gonna release multiple Kunai just hold down the button for a while and then release the button and the multiple Kunais will come out
j.hk cr.hpxx release all kunai ex raida 372 damage for one bar
releasing all the kunai feal so limited or i just dont understand how to use it
This should be nice to kill after a stun if you did a one or 2 hit stun. Great damage with just one EX bar and simple execution.
speaking of execution, times i landed b+mp-dash-lp.raida online = 0. why did i think it would be easy…
Ya it’s interesting how people keep saying “How come I keep losing with her?” then seeing Sako play footsies and marvelling at it. From the very start you can see that she has to play patient footsies, and watch for tight hit confirms to get those training room combos you keep practicing. It’s not like SF4 where knockdowns start all your work for you, then setups carry you through the rest of the match. Git gud, learn footsies.
Not even Sako is playing her optimally, yet. The only thing Sako is really doing is showing people the same thing Fuudo did for Mika. Is that even the more rushdown characters can be played honestly and safely with button fishing. He isn’t even really winning a lot of his matches since Ibuki has big hurt boxes on her normals so he ended up trading or losing a lot vs Karin and Ken. If you play like vs a good Chun or Mika you will have to try to whiff punish or counter hit a lot because their buttons priority wise will generally beat yours.
As people play Ibuki more they will be using V Skill a lot more as that is the offset to her buttons have large hurt boxes. It’s a projectile that will beat pretty much any grounded normal and is only minus 5 on block (spaced far enough away it’s safe to most things). The charged version has a bigger hit box and is only minus 2.
I agree… bec I’m playing against a balrog his button are raping me. I’ve been trying different sequences… most of her buttons are minus and to get in is a nightmare.
I’ve even tried going to Arial route but even ex kunai gets beat bec her jump recovery is ass.
The only thing I’m looking at now is f.hk. vskill.
Where are the Sako matches?
Just add the tag option9 to your favorite players list in CFN and watch his matches.
Thanks
How many bombs can Ibuki throw on vtrigger? Also what’s the difference between regular,back,and forward bomb throws?
