Wow, I hate when your playing a player match and you beat your opponent a couple of times and then he beats you one match and then decides to boot you just because he beat you that one time. It really pisses me off.

:lol @ gen cross-ups. Awesome stuff. I love the old man, even with my recent Abel binge. I've tried maining 3 other characters and he's the only one that clicked for me, despite his inherent learning curve. And yeah, I ain't ever gonna pull off his insane 20-30 hit combos but just his mind-fuck style really appeals to me. Btw, was he actually a stronger character in Alpha 2? Think I read somewhere that he had great chains in that game.

In closing, all the recent SF4 players in this thread owe it to themselves to get a taste of the cross-up madness. Seriously! Gen's not as obtuse as you might think! :D

My most hated cross-up. Sure Gen's is quick, but at least it LOOKS like a cross up when it hits you. In the history of SF has there been a cross-up that has looked so little like one as Bison's does?

IMO that design is boring. Some of the other designs were good, but that's just a generic bald black character in a Gi.

Wow...Ken's alternate costume (which was taken from Allen). And Capcom designs in a generic manner.

And Jared, I'll look up your username in the online thread.

That thing is so annoying, every time I get hit by it I'm thinking "but, but he was too far away to get to my backside :(".

Oh so you're a Bison player? Well shit as another Ryu player I'd spam jumping MP against you to. It's not nearly as annoying as runaway Bison's who just want to spam stomps and devils reverse.

TimeDog, did that when I played him...MP spammage up the ass! Even when I was nowhere near him. :lol

Later on during the rounds, I avoided it the best I could.

Haha this. I main Bison and have missed several combos because i didn't know if i'd have charge when i landed.

Honestly though, I thing the fact that Gen has multiple crossups in both stances and they are all effective gives him the edge. That convo is fuckin EPIC though lol.

As would I, reminds me of Khushnood Butt from GAROU. I would have loved to see something like that, or even the design similar to Sean.

Kushnood Butt is based on an real-life black karate master who fought a bear.

Love it. On the note of Sakura resets, though.. You won't be hitting anyone that knows how to block (i.e. any former marvel player) with those. Sabre has gotten scrapped by me whenever I run into him. One of those things where if you've seen it once, you just won't get hit by it. Ever.

Depending on the distance ryu jumping mp is a good move. The distance it's useful is from right next to your opponent to the opposent side of the screen. In this range it's one of the best moves.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


>:0 you deleted me from your XBL list punk

edit: also ryu's jumping mp is also useful as a crossup. So the range it's useful is full screen to right behind your opponent.

yep, sakura's all about surprise.

'course if you do hit it once, you knock off 60% of their life and stun them, if something that easy and that damaging was a 50/50 guessing game, sakura would be instant A-teir. xD

Sakura's cross-ups work 90% of the time online, a benefit of picking a rarely played character. Because of this, fake crossups never work :lol

for bison's crossup with ryu:

if he's inside of cr. mk range, it's gonna cross up.

if he looks like he's gonna come down right on top of your character, once it hits his character model will shift over to your backside so the move will cross up.

You can also walk forward and dragon punch them or walk forward and standing fp them, but these trade unless you're really quick.

I think one of the best ways to get around even guessing is to duck and throw a slighly late cr. mk. the cr. mk makes it so that ryu's hitboxes change and the crossup doesn't connect and you can combo his ass.

well yeah, if you use a glitch like crossing under offline, you'd get punched in the face.

or so i'm frequently told online.

Is GODSGARDEN a local tournament that went on in Japan as well, around the same time as SBO or is it part of the same event? Saw a bunch of these high level match videos being posted.
TKD(elf) vs Umehara(ryu)
Has about 9 new videos up if you're interested in watching.

Yeah right, Sakura is already bottom tier. Without her cross-up mixups she can't do any real damage. Her fight against Zangief is stupid, she has no range, can't get in and if she does she can't do any damage.

It's a tournament that is thrown by KSK who is a guy who owns an arcade out there. Its not part of SBO, just an event that showcases top level players in Japan.

haunts' latest blog entry is up: http://www.iplaywinner.com/news/2009/8/20/grindin-japan-shiozawa-cup-super-battle-opera.html

For instance, IronFist and I were talking about how a lot of Sagats in Tokyo were using combos and set ups we already knew about but figured would be impractical in actual matches.
Click to expand...

Fucking THAT right there. Every time someone in this thread or on SRK posts that something is impractical and it's not worth the practice, I always wanna reply with "and that's why the Japanese are better" :p

btw haunts you are FREE NOW COME BACK PLZKTHX

Edit* OMG YOU'RE BACK YAY!
