ok i confirmed it 100% u cant ESCAPE THE UNBLOCKABLE AFTER THE ULTRA ANIMATION. so if u see the animation , that means u re dead lol.
i confirmed that they work, but these are all really hard to do anywhere near consistently; with the amount of precision needed (i’m guessing the window to perform these correctly is like 1 frame), the setups listed above all require a degree of timing. they’re kinda like trying to do those safe jumps that are like “knockdown, wait 0.2 seconds, then jump”

I pulled off Sagat’s a few times in training mode, so I decided to try it in some real matches. Timing must be really strict because every attempt so far has resulted in tons of wasted meter and punishment. At least it doesn’t seem very practical with Sagat imo… maybe it is with others? Seth’s looks like it might be a little easier? shrug
i have a success rate not far from 100% with sagat
expect to see this alot from now at some level.
its way easier with sagat than most of the other characters, i got it 1/10 with rose.
Looks like crouch blocking causes Sagat’s ultra to whiff midscreen, or is it necessary to use MK shot in order for the Ultra to connect? [media=youtube]aMn3rswLDa4[/media]
I used LK shot in the vid. It’s unblockable but yeahh…
was about to post something close to this . i did a setup where its unblockable on crouch and standing block , but neutral standing allowed me to block the fireball .The opponent must wakeup on the fireball i think , where the fireball touches him in neutral standing.
a friend of mine brought up a good explanation for this:
- ultra pre-flash causes the opponent to go into “googly eyes state”
- due to an oversight, opponent most likely cannot block during googly eyes state
- if something makes contact with the opponent on the exact same frame that ultra pre-flash happens it will become unblockable
This is an awesome find, the bar has been officially raised.
Let’s see if we can find any more.
Does this only work with projectiles? What about meaty jump-ins?
Yeah I just tested that after you posted. I believe you are correct in regards to Sagat’s unblockable. If you don’t block until you react to the flash you can block it.

It doesn’t look so difficult actually, what makes it so difficult to land?
Have to try this out in training mode, amazing find.
The setup is not optimal and char specific i think , ill search for a better one .
You think you’ve seen everything, and then…
And here I thought we knew everything about SF4 
I love you guys!
Someone with a build of SSF4 needs to test whether this glitch made it in.
There is like 0 chance it isn’t. Come on some of the fucking CHARACTERS didn’t get any changes, you think they removed an obscure bug that they most likely didn’t even know about?
Wow fuck me, after the game came out, I theory combo the Ken unblockable.
I tested it using backward throw, didn’t think about forward throw =\
Anyone tested this on smaller characters?

Hmmm…
