I haven’t watched much SSF4 but I remember some commentators losing it when it landed.

It's a power move picking u2

People don't die when they are killed, they die when they are styled on.

That is a niche missing from ryus ultra 1

Thank you for including melee in your videos ❤️

alright that's cool

Exactly

Yeah, that makes sense.

that's what i expected

True

Except the ladies, anyhow.

Not sure who has the most popeye look. I think Fei Long and Sagat a contenders

Ryu Ultra 2 and Hugo Ultra 2 result in the best bug eyes ever seen in a videogame

Expect for Seth

Only on male characters

And in PxZ2, Zero has the Sougennmu+Raikousen loop from Marvel vs. Capcom.

@@ZorroCeleste1 that's the zoop zoop right

Lowkey best comment

@@Bafael this reminded me of Chris Hu commentary back in the day. "If u no scah i no scah"

@@Bafael I’d never forget that CMV you did.... 3 bars for one juggle of ultra

@@Bafael pretty highkey to me ngl

@@Bafael I'm sorry if I am a bit late, but I think I know how Ryu's U2 can be improved. Please provide feedback to the changes I describe here: 1) Allow for midair connects into cinematic Ultra 2 as long as the first hit lands. This would allow him to combo Super into (cinematic) Ultra 2 on cornered opponents. -2) Reduce the startup to 4 frames, making it on par with the fastest Ultras in the game. This, along with the previous change, allows him to combo Super into (cinematic) Ultra 2 on cornered opponents.- 2) Increase the damage so that it does at least 50%+ damage to any character. This might be a tad bit overkill, but this and the previous changes ties into the major change. 3) Holding 3 kicks upon activation will not perform the attack immediately, but will instead initiate a parry much like his VT2 parry in SFV. It can parry basically anything that's not a (command) throw or a projectile. If a hit is successfully parried, Ryu will retaliate with a version much like the cinematic version, but this version comes out on frame 1 and has complete invincibility, meaning that he only needs to parry one hit of a multi-hit attack (e.g. E. Honda's slaps) for the counterattack to activate. As a result, this gives him a pseudo-counter Ultra that does more than half-health to any character if properly executed. (Grapplers and Low-HP characters beware!) Naturally, releasing 3 kicks prematurely will have Ryu perform the attack, allowing him to do things like DP > EX FADC > (hold) U2. Overall, this would fully round out Ryu's kit, giving Ryu two Ultras that serve different niches to match with other characters. Both can end combos decently well. However, U1 gives him a projectile that: a) can be used way more consistently for ending combos, and b) doesn't require as much meter investment to use, while U2 gives him a much more powerful option that: a) serves as an anti-air and as well as a counter, making U2 a rare occasion of a non-command throw Ultra that may be worth using raw.

The mixup was that you jumped in for the 4th time in a row instead of attacking

As someone who played Dudley and Steve.. Ehh it was fine.

Except Shoryu FADC Ultra 1 is one of the easiest FADC links in the game. You could learn it in like 20 minutes.

@@Anomaly188 you overestimate casual FG players

@@tootsie_ I consider myself a casual and I can do it.

@@tootsie_ can confirm. Played USFIV for 2 years with my scrub friends and we never ever used FADC untill Tekken 7 lol

You don't U2 on wakeup?

Is remember WA Solid doing that once.

@@rleften5788 I’m not sure if a meaty crouch strong on the opponent’s wakeup gives enough plus frame for a link to Metsu Shoryuken. Even the counter hit link I mentioned is a one frame link unfortunately.

@@christophernguyen8260 Oh, that’s weird. Can you plink an ultra input?? Like if you press 3P+LK, do you get the ultra or does a throw come out?

@@deadfr0g You can since ultra motions have the highest priority. For Metsu Shoryuken, the input should be 2x qcf KKK plinked into whatever button you want because KKK has the highest priority over all other normals.

@@deadfr0g There's no reason whatsoever to plink an ultra input because of negative edge. You get two frames to land the ultra by just tapping the button instead of holding it down.

Oni's looks even cooler

And it can’t even do that. Poor Ultra 2.

@@blueicydasani4543 oh hello there Dasani

@@inf_5612 Oh wassup

so we're gonna pretend that oni and evil ryu's ultra 2's don't exist

Shame he didn't get any mix-up or setup stuff like Denjin tho

​@@tammid8423ryu canonically didnt learn denjin, shin shoryuken, or donkey kick until after sf4. its implied that gouken taught them to him in the time between 4 and 5, as you can see gouken use all 3 in sf4 (donkey kick is his focus animation) it wouldve been nice if he had a setup ultra 2 tho

@@justsomeweirdpersonDidn’t Ryu has Shin/Metsu Shoryuken in Alpha 3?

@@Nhan6241He did

@@Nhan6241 after looking it up he does, and i have no idea what the deal with alpha 3 is

And you might *maybe* get a tiny bit more damage if you're lucky in some of the places you can put it compared to Ultra 1. Basically, Ultra 2 is your scrub killer Ultra. It's the Ultra you pick when you just think your opponent might fuck up.

@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN or like doing raw ultra

@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN this is true. I never used it much when I played sf4 regularly but now I only find myself playing it in the arcade with random people. its a lot easier to use than fadc ultra 1 for me since I'm always out of practice when I play and I play on pad not stick.

Which ended up being the exact dilemma that he explained in his Blue Nocturne video (anything you can do with SA3, you can do with SA2 along with anything else SA2 was good at anyway).

It's a hidden Metsu Hadoken tutorial actually

Some people call them " '16ers" but I prefer to think of them as proof of a healthy and growing FGC :>

Yeah, the Smash kids.

I just never played SF, pc cant run sf5 and 3s is a fuckin hassle to play with friends cuz rom issues

I really enjoy reading up on data, history, and general info on the different games tho cuz its fun

@@LOL-gn5oh Lol I play smash comp as well. But it really is weird how much some of them struggle with inputs

The story of Twelve is one with much suffering then as an example of Capcom’s conflicting balancing plans.

@@kyshowman6847 Twelve is just an aspect of 3S having quite bad balance, not Capcom being very bad at balancing a character's supers against each other

@@Nihiliste- Honestly now, I think SFV is about as good as any other SF game, it just depends on what you want from a fighting game

@@Nihiliste- All SF games have flawed design, it’s just about which flaws you’re willing to tolerate

@@Nihiliste- Seems like you have some weird vendetta against games where zoning isn’t good (Isn’t 3S Chun like the best character in the game and the one who plays keepaway anyway) that you need to sort out yourself

No, I’d definitely Rose was pretty toxic. cMP is a god button and her Alpha Counter makes her obnoxious to pressure… when she’s a zoner?

Why is Mika so bad tho Her weird normals, like with Shermie in KOF 2002?

This is one situation you'd score that extra damage. You'd have to land it raw as a punish, basically just as hard as raging demon.

Problem is if you can hit anyone with it once they'll NEVER fall for it again. Plus you can still use Ultra 1 that way too, just with a regular Shoryuken.

I feel like anti air ultra is too much to ask from a new player. They have enough trouble doing anti air cr.hp as it is :p

makes sense for Ryu too, since he's probably the character you've heard the most about in SF and thus the one you'll pick first

That's playing the meta, baby.

Already did it, here you go kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMqmd9Zhp8m-iZs.html

Why couldn't they do what other fighting games dd to counter supers?

@@MechaGCapcom designs street fighter games around what the previous game did wrong, sf3 parries were a big complaint at the time and turned off a lot of players, so that's why sf4 parries are mostly all hot garbage, and why it's more similar to sf2

I don't think capcom has ever designed a good counter super

Afaik It's purpose is to discourage mixups on your wakeup. So Viper burn kick, Fuerte splashes, Deejay (LOL) vortex. Similar how if you have an anti-fireball ultra stocked, you may never use it, but it might change how your opponent plays to your advantage

They simply had to activate the flash AFTER the hit connected, having it before defeats the whole purpose.

Correction: Ryu also drops metsu Shoryuken in favor of SHIN shoryuken and denjin hadoken

@@NotoriousYEETER actually yeah ur right. Dang it
