The version he is using uses one less knife and gets you into the same mixup on the ground (QCF+LK, wait, QCF+LP+HP). The other version (QCF+HK, air QCF+MP, land, QCF+LP+HP) requires that additional knife but is actually MUCH easier to do.
Both of them lead into the exact same follow-up (the EX Kunai popping them into f+HK into reset) which results in a "hard to see" mixup because the bomb explodes as Ibuki is doing either QCF+LK or QCF+MK.
Basically, he's going for the efficient starter into the super-hard-to-see (basically a "must guess") mixup. Worst case, they block the bomb and you are still at an advantage, which is nice =).

I know it's taboo to complain about your main, but I'm a decent player fellas, I promise this is not all bias whining from not being able to adjust lol. Ken is A LOT weaker. The overhead combos do not compensate for what they nerfed. I'm praying I eat crow in a few months, but I think a bunch of pros will drop him. He's a baby T-Rex with his normals and will get out footsied easily especially with ex Tatsu no longer being + on block. I don't know wtf Capcom's goals were with this update, as I particularly remember them saying they wouldn't do a lot of nerfing but rather buff characters to match the standards of others. Kinda face palming right now lol...

benevolent sexism
How many matches do I have to play to get my nice guy icon back? Or is that feature broken for everyone right now?
It's pretty much broken right now.
I'm trying Guile and Urien now, I went from 4.5k LP to 3k already but seriously, this new update has made me not give a shit so I'm just going to play for fun and stop caring whether I win or lose. I love Street Fighter and I don't want to give up on this game already, so if I need to feel "this way" to keep playing, then I'll do that. Actually not giving a shit about LP is really good lol, I've lost a lot today and I'm laughing at it all.
yeah i just starting playing casuals for FM and exp because ranked acts stupid a majority of the time. Its like great i win i get no LP because some error, then i lose and it works. So strictly on Casual from now on.
And I just got the LP bug again where we both appear as rookies so he doesn't lose LP when I win and I actually win nothing because that LP won't count towards mine.
This game is simply incredible...

The commentary omg. I'm dying.
is it a bug or some weird cheat? ranked seems suss lately
No idea, it's happened twice today and in the end I never got the points.
I can't believe they straight up called Smug "not pretty" lol. His Balrog looking strong though.
hopefully he goes to more tournaments next year.

I use st. HP, but I've played some people who use st. LP and it worked well.
GGs Flux. You beat me pretty convincingly with all your chars lol. Think i should probably grind ranked so i can find better players...im doing decent playing people in the same rank but you're just on another level. Also damn it seems rog got some good mixups after his ex dash..i need to see some frame data to see how/if i can interupt and stuff to punish ect.
Those EX Dash Punch mixups are really fun, but I kept messing them up at step 2. I could do them again and again, if I had the charge timing down, but I kept only doing 1 sequence and then stopping by accident.
Just got annihilated by ChrisG again; that was fun. Might be that we're both out of sorts now that S2 has started. It's done a huge number on my skill, and I'm honestly kind of lost when it comes to this game now. Not a great feeling. Not sure if I should stick with Mika, focus on someone else, who else if it's not Mika, focus on multiple characters, etc.

How about Laura, aren't they a bit similar?
I see that makes more sense lol I've been using crouching HP << and it barely works lol.
Anyone willing to spar with my day two Juri cfn Kashibaba
?That's what everyone in our local scene is telling me, but I hate Laura. The reason I played Mika was because I liked the character, not because of her playstyle. Laura sucks.
It's something I'm considering, sure, but I was pretty much a character specialist for Mika, and when my ability with that has been removed, well, not quite sure how to move forward.

Yes, preach. Laura is nothing but trash.
I couldn't believe they said a lot of what they did shortly after I posted @_@
ill invite if you're still playing
shoot me an invite, I was about to quit after getting mad at a laggy ken online

I say still keep mika in the wheelhouse but rotate some characters, at least until the next s2 char drops.
Are you willing to travel and try playing some tournaments this season or is it just for fun?
I've been participating in local tournaments for a long while now; traveling outside of my local area depends on if I think it's worth it.
GGs dude, nice balrog
akuma feels helpless against this dude... 1 mistake and lose 50% hp
You mean character in terms of personality?
Because I have issues with that aswell if thats what you mean
Might end up doing this, but then I struggle to think when I'd pull out my "pocket Mika" in a tournament setting. Still want to adapt to her S2 self.
Yes. Personality, look, style, etc. are the primary reasons I will choose to main a character when I pick up a fighting game.
Im with you 100 percent
Theres something about laura and mika i write up when i get the chance.

Both. She will be forgotten in future SF's worse than Remy. Solely a reason to sell costumes, garbage T&A enclosed in 50/50 nonsense and a wack ass voice.
I think the funniest part about laura is just when you think they can't make another dumb costume they always double down on the next one. I get going for the whole sex appeal thing, nothing wrong with that but Juri is an example of doing it right and laura is just some capcom's employee's fantasy imo.
GG yeah matchup seems in boxer's favor by a lot. Gotta enjoy this damage before capcom nerfs him to mika tier next year.

Yeah I hate her as an overall character lol, her 50/50s are exactly the kind of guesswork I hated back in SF4, only she's quicker and has a command grab to boot.
And fireball ?

What a way to end it

She reminds me of makoto, not really am sf4 thing.
Lol how many times do you have to guess there? Now imagine being Nash, not having an invincble reversal to at least pose "a threat" to the whole mixup sequence...
I meant it exactly in the way the clip above makes it look, it's one thing after another, like vortexes back in SF4. I haven't watched much of 3S Makoto to tell if if she was like that there too, but I do have seen some crazy play from her.
