Does any one have any elena match videos they would be willing to upload to youtube? You don’t see her played (well) too often and I think I’ve only ever seen 2 or 3 vids featuring her. Anyway I’ll start you off with this
I only have 1 other match vid of her beating a random japanese ken player. I’ll upload this later if anyone can upload some others.
note: I’m not interested in the kysg vid (although it is awesome) as it’s been posted like 20 times already.

Someone has videos of my matches at Magfest 4 against Jeron, Justin Wong and Triforce…They aren’t showing up anywhere though
really bums me out, I really want to watch them (though I don’t think it is a good idea for anyone to emulate my style
)
The only Elena match vid I’ve seen was with Combofiend, so anything and everything you guys have I would like to see.
i saw a vid where sugiyama crushed combofiend, also ithink there are some elena in one of the best bout vids from FFA. Also there´s a elena vid on carol.

yeah that’s the only other footy of elena i’ve seen too.
rikc: it’s the FFA RB #3 best bout, it’s at combo videos.
combo video archive, 3s, ffa.
I’m hoping the promise of another jap elena match might make someone upload some other stuff, lol. it’s a good match too, this jap player lands some sweet corner combos.
There are new vids on combovideos of the Texas Showdown 6 on the front page. In the qualifiers vid, it has Combofiend beasting on Ken and Yun players. The vid is almost 300 mb and some of the camera work is off, but the action is good if you’re willing to go out of your way to get it.

Thanks man! Good to see an oro match too. The elena player was called kamei I think (my reading is not so good). I found it a bit hard to watch the second one, the quality isn’t too great.
here’s that other vid. Always good to see her beating top tiers.
Just FYI, the way the Elena finished that Ken match is very, very dangeous (point blank meaty Mk Overhead). Mk Overhead is susceptible to quick attacks and quick supers (which is pretty much all of them) on block, so it’s not advisable to roll with Mk Overhead when your opponent has meter.

If you guys know where to get old KSK ranbats, the 0507 Ranbat(2nd season, 5th ranbat) has an Elena player that plays a few matches, including a match versus Nuki’s Chun. It’s pretty interesting, and it’s also got Pyrolee and Frankie3S in it (I love watching Americans in the KSK ranbats, so that’s cool for me, heh).

^Yup, the Elena matches are the 1st, 5th & 7th vids IIRC. I liked the Ken vs. Elena match, the Elena player played a good turtle game.

Wow, anyone seen this one before? This is the first Elena player I’ve seen online that reminds me of my playing style. It’s mostly the little things I see him do, like making a game out of normal Spin Scythes (when they happen), the hi-low-throw mixup (which he doesn’t use too much on Ken; very smart decision), and using the EX Mallet Smash specifically to cross someone up. I enjoyed watching this one; Elena loses, but man, it’s very close.
^^^This is an oldie but goodie
It was originally posted on godweapon.net. I think his costly blunder was the attempted c.mpxxSA2 combo after that block Shippu. That never works.
Lol, yeah, the window of opportunity is just too small. One time, I played a Ken player that immediately went into ANOTHER SA3 just because he knew what was gonna happen. From that point one, I’ve been content to just go straight for a throw.

Jesus that has to be the worse yun Ive seen in my entire life :wasted:
I was there for that, it was pretty awesome. you got the healing super off and stood up holding your controller.

hahah, at that point getting a full Healing off was enough of a victory for me, and certainly all I was going to get against Wong.
