Ultra Street Fighter IV: AVOID PS4 RELEASE FOR NOW

[Deejay]

I'd like to see Deejay main Sagat though. I like playing that matchup.

that shit should be free for ibuki, last i heard

tier whoring while its still viable, then dudley fulltime 2012

don't do it.

dudley is only fun until you learn how to play the game, at which point you'll ask why you put yourself through such bullshit playing him

[Scunsion]

yeah i was gonna say, Sagat owns Sak pretty bad. the matchup will get better in 2k12, only because you'll be able to ex hurricane over low tiger shots like a boss

speaking of the king though, i'm thinking about switching to him full time

you can do that now pretty sure

[Deejay]

yeah you can but sometimes the hurricane kick will hit sagat but the last part will teleport to the other side and cause her to whiff the kick that causes the juggle

i don't know how else to explain it, but sometimes the last hit of the hurricane will whiff sagat entirely, allowing sakura to be punishable. . it happens a lot in AE and they're fixing the animation in 2012 so you'll be able to do get all the hits without worry

[Scunsion]

hm i play against sakura pretty frequently and dont feel like this is common at all, match is definitely in sagats favor but still winnable for sakura

Well, I like playing Akuma vs. Sagat and Viper vs. Sagat. I just think playing against Sagat is fun, for some reason. No explanation ;x

Kind of like how playing against Deejay (the character) makes me just go into depression and turn off the system lol.

He's right, happens a lot on ducking characters, many times during an actual string if you don't use hp/cr.hp to force standing, but sometimes even then it does on shorter characters like twins. Getting in on Sagat is absurd either way, if they're really good at firing off fast Tiger Shots it's damn near impossible without perfect focus dashing/neutral jumping/ducking and even then most times you just head right into a dp.

not for noothing but those are probably his 3 worst matchups lol. we need to play tho i could use some decent practice with sagat. my zoning sucks and you like to get in so it'll be good

[richardd]

if Vic still reads this thread, i've learned that blanka can plink his ultra lol

so if you catch opponents on cr.lk x3, plink that while buffering the ultra and end it with sweep

so if ibuki does that ex kick and whiffs, you can hop passed the kunai while keeping charge, and do: cr. lk~ buffer ultra, cr.mk, end it with forward PPP~ HK to execute the ultra and it comes out everytime lol

so even if you have the charge ready with no buffer, charge, cr. mk, forward, back, forward PPP~ HK and it owns lol

i've also got some frame traps that work well on smaller hitbox characters. if you catch anyone on backthrow, you can safe jump them with a jumping fierce crossup which beats absolutely everything but el fuetre's U2, and you can follow up with upback MP which makes it simpler to plink to MK

shoutout to deejay and nits for showing me tricks on how to plink easier. having music on or a song you enjoy listening to really helps

[Vandole]

you know, welt may beat me all the time with his ibuki... but i sure as fuck know how to beat non welt tier ibuki's.




stay free, nonwelt's.

dudley is only fun until you learn how to play the game, at which point you'll ask why you put yourself through such bullshit playing him

you say that, but the skill i have now is because i took the time to dick around with dudley. good learning character, albiet horrible in match.

[Weltall]

Get dem PPs Dole-kun.

[Vandole]

PP on pc is annoying. i hover between 500-1500 constantly

[Viq]

Blanka stuff

I never knew there was a way to plink that c.mk -> Ultra before. That's really cool. Too bad I've been switching over to play Bison these days ㅠㅠ Maybe this will get me back to play Blanka though.

[richardd]

i play everyone. i cant ever bring myself to only play 1 character, but bison, balrog, ken and guile are among my favorites. i have a gimmicky heart. but i do want to pick up cammy again. she was my 1st main

oh ps: in order for that plink to work, you have to turn taunting off

[Jefe]

Now that you brought it up, today this blanka chiped me w/ the ultra after the c.mk. I was raging because I thought my headbutt had failed to come out but apparently I was stunblocked. Gonna check.

Nah, he tried something but the fucking headbutt never came out and ate the ultra. He barely won and mofro left.

I'm fighting this urien guy, his dudley has like 20k and the mofo is near 4k pp. He has a bunch of high characters and this fucking scrup @ 0 points snuck taking my spot mother f@@##$.

LOL he beat him w/ blanka.

[euph]

stay free, nonwelt's.

careful, dole

[Vandole]

bring it. i've done levelled up a bit

Spoiler: show

i've got a friend that plays ibuki only that i've been practicing with for a week and a half or so

[Weltall]

Bring it tonight, Dole.

[Lebzile]

I've been playing a bit more recently and wondering, with Cody since he's going to end up being my main, is there any reason to use U1 over U2? U1 I know you can FADC into with HK Ruffian, but I'm just wondering is it better to do that or just use U2 for punishing DPs and such?

[Callisto]

I'd stick with U2 as a punish, the damage on that thing is kind of beastly and I'm pretty sure you can snag people out of the air with it occasionally as well.

[Tohmane]

Wrench hits won't connect if you AA with the dust, and if you're unlucky they might even get to punish it. Neither of his ultras are very viable as AAs.
