What are your favorite character matchups to watch?

I also play both flavored of Ryu and still do the same thing.

A solid Deejay player vs someone who knows how to fight Dj.

You’re secretly mexican?

Yeah kind of sad, I really enjoy using Gen. However way too time consuming and complex a character to learn.

I really like watching Balrog versus Ryu for some reason.
They are both very solid characters that can focus on what’s fundamental about street fighter but they still have very a explosive comeback potential. They’re also both very honest.

Makoto mirror are fucking insane and I love them too, but that’s more a secret pleasure of mine.

The joke is lost on me I’m afraid.

Sometimes I wish I was though. Grew up with a couple of Mexican best friends and goddamn the food was gooooood at their house.

shoto-style cr.hp is oftentimes called the mexican uppercut.

Ah, gotcha. I knew that, but my brain didnt make the connection for some reason.

Also it’s all about that Roo s.hp mang.

i like when my brain try to AA with cr.mp instead of a DP or cr.hp … punish occasion ? cr.mp ! … u_u

on topic, i played a dhalsim tonight and got half bodied as Ryu, watching daigo roll on sims make me enjoy even more the match up

Quick change of pace: the match up I HATE watching?
El Fuerte vs Seth
Also Viper vs Cammy.

If I wanted to see people “just do it” I’d watch a nike commercial.

I dare you to watch these and try not to get mad at what you are seeing.


Characters like elf just bring the worst in people. Wao vs Iperu (?) comes to mind.

All matches featuring combinations of these characters.

Seth, Cammy, ibuki, Fuerte, viper, Hakan

Mix up vs mix up hurts my eyes

Also matches with these combos

Honda , Rog, blanka, bison, vega

And the Fei mirror.

I agree 100%. Would only add “me vs one of those last characters”.

So you like seeing people’s dreams crushed.

I like you.

Makoto vs Makoto

Vega.

Viper vs El fuerte makes no sense.
Like, it just doesn’t.

And if you try to play this match smart as Viper you will lose too, that’s the worst part. You just have to do as much stuff as the fuerte player and you usually win because she does more damage than him.

Fuerte is so odd. Many people play SF4 just to play Fuerte. What does it say about the people, and the game to them, if the only way they can enjoy the game is to turn it into a travesty?

Am I the only one who likes Sagat vs Dhalsim?

Sure it’s a zoning match, but a very aggressive one. It’s not like the two just sit there and do nothing, like charge characters. The match is usually very fast paced, even if the characters are almost always fullscreen.

I also like Makoto vs anyone. That character is just too fun to watch.

Dudley vs Makoto
Ken vs Cody
Ibuki vs Guy
Ryu vs Rose

These matchups at high level are so much fun/hype imo
