Saw Daigo use this vs Justin at Season's Beatings IV ;7)

In the video: I am controlling Rufus, either blocking or reversal EX Messiah. Ryu is CPU and doing the same thing every time.

Method is simple: Safe jump and perform jump fierce with dp motion + strong + fierce. If they block (or get hit), fierce happens normally. If Rufus EX Messiah, Ryu land and automatically EX shoryu to avoid guessing game situation after blocked EX Messiah.

You can see for yourself if you buy the DVD ;7)

Am I supposed to be seeing something new here?

[BRP]

Probably not? But it is a continuation of Daigo vs Justin fight discussion.

[Weltall]

Dunno who the genius was who made the video, but it has been know you can mash xSRK and it will come out if Rufus does ex messiah or block it normal attack.

ON TO FOOTBALL

[Correction]

It's interesting that one of the most one-note posters in this thread is now asking us to wrap it up on how Daigo beat Justin. Again.

[Weltall]

Talk about it all you want, but that strat is old. The guy who made the vid sounds like he doesn't believe Justin doesn't know this...which is hilarious.

Daigo's execution with the super meter is the best other than maybe Mago. This is the clear advantage he has. (Other than his character being the best or 2nd best - imo ryu > sagat)

If Justin would man up and start maining Ryu or Sagat, things could get really interesting. There is no reason though when he makes a grand a week off Rufus fodder.

Wow, Justin with the Fei Long madness!

[BRP]

JUSTIN LONNGGGGGGG

[Trigun]

BWAAAAA MY BRAIN HURTS, I can breathe now.

[BRP]

Daigo is coming back. He might win the grand finals.

[Weltall]

Ummm how many chicken legs will it take for Daigo to learn? wow...come on lol

[BRP]

Daigo wins, after an amazing match.

[Weltall]

Very nice match, insane pokes

[Conformity]

What a beautiful match

[Deejay]

God. Spacing/poking matches are so boring to watch. I mean I get it, Wong and Daigo are real pro's at fencer fighter 4. I just wish that every match between them didn't play out the same exact way.

[BRP]

They should be flowchart ken-ing each other.

[Ryko]

All high level fighters boil down to getting the pokes in. You're never going to get an all out assault because fighters never reward an aggressor enough to make up for the output that is achieved with proper spacing and poking. Rushdown died with melee and mvc, buhleedat.

Funny, I really enjoy watching their strategery (thx gw) and how they capitalize on eachothers mistakes so well. Fucking umehara

[Deejay]

Where did you get that from my post? The fact that they can use their DP's to anti-air/counter basically everything is what makes the matches so boring.

Why should either of them take any risks that involve jumping in or playing in an aggressive manner when the other guy can just stand in the corner all day and poke whenever his opponent gets too close.

I get why it makes sense, but i'm not going to "omgooohhhhaaaaaahhsooooamazing" just because it's effective

simply put, that shit is fucking boring

[Ryko]

It's smart playing the system for what it is. At the end of the day spacing/poking/camping wins matches. Rule 1 is if you lost while camping, you just didn't camp hard enough. Boring? In a sense, but the strategy comes from creating or reinforcing openings. Bait or stuff the anti air, get those mindgames in.

I really hate being the brawl player and seeing it for what it is. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely players who do well while being the aggressor but the meta needs to get to the point where people are making those minimal frame links and baiting defensive reactions on a consistent basis for it to show itself. And even so, defense wins championships. Camp more. Embrace the gayness.
