SF4:Cross (Ke) vs Akimo (Ho) - TRF 23-10-2009

[retnuHDJ]

At 2:24 I think Akimo does EX HHS by accident. It is too easy to do by accident me thinks :(

[jakewastejakewaste]

random dragon punch for the win.

[Nyoronoru]

Is that EX hurricane kick to Ultra possible?

[GamesPlayer1]

Yes it is.

[KosukeKGA]

recovery on aerial EX tatsu is really fast, so yeah

[misugijun]

Is that the reason Ken players use aerial Ex tatsu often to follow it to a combo?

Otherwise it uses an ex bar and doesn't deal decent damage itself

[pyrodragons822]

@misugijun

Just for mix up combo into ultra

air ex tatsus,2 lp, HP shoryu, FADC ultra or just air ex tatsu ultra

[prim256]

u can actually link the full ultra just after ur crossup air EXtatsu if u land close enough. It's not a joke, against Sagat it works for sure.

@pyrodragons822

But air EX Tatsu Ultra is difficult to hit confirm. I can't hit confirm it off the animation of seeing the tatsu land. In fact, the only time I can hit confirm that link is when I listen out for the sound. If i hear the tatsu hit i press the three punches to a buffered ultra motion. Maybe that's what happened to cross at 0:59

[mabans]

But does shit dmg..

[KosukeKGA]

Who cares if the EX Tatsu does shitty damage. The combo after it is what gives the damage out. And even so, it's possible to combo THE FULL ULTRA into it so it is completely practical.

[mabans]

@KosukeKGA

The amount of effort vs dmg it does isn't worth doing, imo. It's not a clutch move and the only real purpose I ever use the Ken Ultra is just the psychological effect it has on players.. Then again I don't main Ken but whenever I have used it I always think how it wasn't worth it.

[toemaetoe]

At high levels of play, every tiny piece amount of damage can make a difference and nothing is too much effort. Thats why the Japanese are regarded better players than Amercians ("it's too hard to do/too useless so I dont learn it")

Also, wheres the effort in doing jump, qcb KK, then qc in the same direction as before with PPP?

[mabans]

@toemaetoe

Your right..

[SeraphicKnightX]

You have to be really close to them when you land though.

[k0rr1]

oh man, I miss Akimo. Nice to see this guy compete again.

[sngoku]

Mike Ross's Honda is THE one to fear!!!
