tested all of these on a human blocking.

BEFORE YOU PANIC: this is ESCAPABLE situationally. ken has meterless escape (Hp shoryuken) for sagats for example. some characters can ultra through kens, etc.

Okay so we’ve had a little while to experiment, here’s how this shit breaks down:
Ultra freeze causes a fireball going active on the same frame as the “oh shit!” expression frame (ultra freeze) to become unblockable.
The ultra combos off of this, so naturally, this makes the fireball unblockable (and in a sense, the Ultra as well, since it’s a combo off an unblock), and the ultra not actually unblockable, but combos. For all intents and purposes, this is basically the KoF Super Freeze glitch.
You have to input a reversal BEFORE the ultra freeze, this is important, because that makes this unblockable an actual mixup, though it’s a meter intensive, situational mixup, it’s still a mixup.
Depending on your character you may not even get hit by some of these, or have reliable ways of escaping it. (Example as Ken, you can just HP SRK out of it, or Akuma you can teleport out of Seth’s etc, vs Rose you can backdash and only get hit by the fireball as some characters etc).

Seth = Backthrow, MP boom, wait, ultra

3

Forward Throw, backdash LP fireball FADC ultra

4

what are the chances this thing slipped through Capcom QA and made it into SSF4?

5

probably 100%

6

Mind = blown

7

LOL…Capcom nerfs Sagat and this shows up.

8

can’t figure out timing if sakura dan and gouken can do it. sakura seems likely.

9

lol. Capcom strikes again.

10

Pretty interesting if it does in fact work on human players.

11

Hmm. For Dan, I can’t think of any possible setups along the same vein when using his throws. His throw animations are really long, and his dash is too slow.

There is this, though: Throw into the Corner, Gadouken xx Legendary Taunt xx Ultra.

12

seth one works in record mode with me blocking, and is the easiest one imo

couldn’t get the sagat one to work in record mode, though i managed to do it several times with the dummy set to block all

13

I bet the Sagat players knew about it all along, and just conspired to not use it or tell anyone about it until SSFIV was finalized. :rofl:

14

omg why seth … WITH COMMAND THROW
also i think its escapable only on anticipation , as u cant do something after u see ultra animation i think

15

Does this really work?

I would love to see a video of Rose doing this then.

16

Aliuone you are incorrect. Sagat eat’s Seth’s set-up for free according to Jinrai.

He can’t do shit about it.

17

You can even do it with Sagat if you forward throw to the corner.

Forward throw, jump back, MK fireball>FADC>Ultra.

Also Back Throw>Dash>LK fireball>FADC>Utlra worked for me. Test dummy was Ryu.

On a side note I just saw your video of Ryu’s cousin and that shit was funny as fuck I
’m black and had to laugh at that shit. :rofl::lol:
