C4 SF4 Tourney Grand Final - ShinAkuma vs Vinh

[littlebopepe]

sagat was MASHING out those SRK like he was playing ken..lol. although poor guy only seemed to go it at the worse possible times..lol

i don't know how often it was purposeful breaks in the string and how many time it was just simply missing... because somehow it just worked so well on him. but you started to get your looping better as the matches progressed which is good.

[ShinAkuma204]

The breaks are a result of the type execution involved in the loop. I learned how to execute that loop from MagnetoManiac, and his style of executing prevents a late input should you miss time. That saves you from uppercut mashing and against such an opponent can net you even more damage.

yea sagat sucked

[C7user]

You can thank Mosh for the training against Sagat hahahaha

[ShinAkuma204]

Actually it's more Emblemlord and NormanJr. Mosh and I haven't played much in awhile.

@ShinAkuma204 ShinAkuma why are you so grimey poor Winnipeg Sagats :(

[xBokkiNx]

shin...why no sLP->sweep? it's a free safe dive kick setup.

[DJRedrumofEPG]

Lol @ you teleporting 3 times in the first round. Show off. :p

Excellent footsies and spacing in the later rounds though.

I guess this is just a matter of preference, but I like to sweep after landing a tatsu on someone, to start the "vortex". Is it a bad idea to do that on Sagat?

[hiryuGCC]

Sweeping takes more effort for some people.

When you can sweep, it's always a good idea to.

[binky3000]

It is a good idea to sweep after tatsu (no tech + more stun), but it only works on certain players.

[ShinAkuma204]

Sweep for the most part is better. However if the opponent is cornered I'm not that concerned about an untechable knockdown because the corner limits their options on how to deal with your mixup.

For the person who said sweep does more stun that fierce DP, it doesn't. It does the same stun and less damage.

[ultracombo2]

Sagat got pwned hard.

[ABoffman]

Random ultra and random upper cut galore from the Sagat. Nasty akuma though.

[lordofultima]

Awesome set of matches Shin, beasting with that roundhouse loop.

[Sparda92]

what a monster.
