I’d mostly agree but I think Pugera is making a strong case for being the best Ibuki.
Japan master race + Snake Eyez.
Man, Sako might just sweep B-league. 6-0 so far.
Fucking sako and the incoming elena train
God fucking damn this character
2014: Year of “those other characters” bandwagon
Eryu, Rose, Fuerte, Rolento, Elena
but not yun apparently
Whatever, people going on the Elena train will just miss all their link, use specials randomly and won’t be able to anti air anything.
Don’t forget spam slide
I’d 12891 times rather face yun than elena. Elena is frustrating because I can barely play my character decently vs her.
cr.lp, slide spam all day.
She has strong Hitbox Shenanigans, don´t forget them.
All her hitbox does to my character is making her easier to cross up randomly with Axekicks.
I always thought Elena was really fun in this game, but I know I would have no chance at making her look as good as Sako does. But god damn if she isn’t one of the most annoying characters to fight against.
Now that I think about it, Elena is one of those characters that benefits greatly from playing online. Obviously Sako is one of the best players atm, but I can’t help but feel that playing online is making her already hard to punish stuff even harder to punish.
Fuck using Elena online.
Already using elena. xD
Maybe those first ones, but it’s hard to be bad at anti airing with her.
It’s not hard to use Elena online.
I think Itazan has been showing that he is the best Gief now. Itazan may have slightly weaker footsies but his knowledge and technology is way way ahead of Snakeyez.
I believe Snake Eyez has better footsies, patience, and matchup experience. Itazan does have the better technology and is much better at Gief’s mixup game though.
What makes you guys think that Snake Eyez has weaker tech or weaker mixups, compared to Itazan? Just curious, because i always thought that he has pretty good tech and mixups.
Snake Eyez not technical nope
This question should be directed @TheFreshPrince.
For Emil the obvious answer is “Snakeeyez is not Japanese”
I guess I said that wrong, what I meant is that It seems like Itazan has a more “in your face” playstyle than Snake Eyez does. Snake Eyez usually tries to go for the safer or safest option a majority of the time, while Itazan will go nuts more often than not. I think Itazan’s style benefits Zangief much more when he is up close, since he sorta makes the opponent afraid to do anything. For this reason I feel that his mixup game is better than Snake Eyez’, but I think Snake Eyez is the much better player.
