SF4 Tutorial - Rufus Guide

[CodyTheDog]

Is this still valid for 2012?

[wwmajin]

@CodyTheDog Basically yes, Rufus hasn't changed all that much from SF4 to AE2012. He received some damage nerfs, but all Combos shown still work but the damage and stun values are different. He got good new tool with Ultra 2 and his Target Combo hits all crouchers now. All I can remember of the top of my head. Oh, yeah, you can focus cancel the sucking part of EX Tornado and combo afterwards.

[TheSubbingMan]

@wwmajin THX for the guide. I didn't know Rufus was such a very capable character.

[xc3xc3x]

I got nauseous around 5:53 =(

[TheSubbingMan]

@xc3xc3x I got an asprin. need to borrow it?

[callanmcgill]

@wwmajin Do you know if HPxxHP Tornado hits on every character? I've been trying to do the BnB in training mode with Guy but the first two hits of the tornado seem to whiff. Or am I just doing something wrong?

[IVISMiLESIVI]

May I just say that, as a guy who just started playing rufus again about 2 weeks ago this video is such a blessing. It has by far surpassed any other video I've seen for rufus. The character match up specific tips are so awesome. I had no idea I can beat honda's headbutt with cr.lp! Thank you so much. Your wisdom is greatly appreciated.

[wwedeadman85]

ruifus is utter crap. i can beat him with my mains no sweat

[mattews91]

Man i really need your help please answer me as faster as you can! Do you use plinks for linkin cl.LK ~ cl.HP. i've been seeing some dificult to do it 100%. Please if you do a plink tell me wich one.

[wwmajin]

@mattews91 Yes, I plink this with HP ~ MP

[enjoijjj]

@wwmajin im having trouble with rufus's B&B combo. I really want to master it but the timing is tough. how long did it take you to learn this combo? Ive been playing street fighter for like 4 months on an xbox 360 controler and ive finally made a switch to stick and have been using it none stop for a week, so im comfortable on it. Ive just started plinking for the first time and it seems hard.. but yeah how long did his B&B take u to master?

[wwmajin]

@enjoijjj Just go into training mode and practice only this combo for about 15 - 30 min and do this every day for a few days. Its really easy once your muscles remember the motion. And plinking isn't hard at all, just press HP and MP ALMOST at the same time, just like you're tapping your fingers on the desk when you're bored...

[jekiri2]

great video man i was hoping to pick up rufus up next and this was very insightful

[AzmaCali]

That was really helpful, thanks.

[TheGreatKOBA]

Thanks alot man, I learned alot. I love learning the big guy.

[Drizzydid]

best tutorial ive seen for any character

[Drizzydid]

LOL at 4:48, with that type of damage, youd only have to jab seth once, let him beat u up a bit, and then you can kill him :D total ownage, you should have showed us on seth

[TumbleDryy]

I can't take playing as rufus because his belly jiggles around.

[iBxTH3xCR33Dx]

i cant get down the button timing from cl.LK to cl.HP xx HP Tornado

[Anaris84]

@iBxTH3xCR33Dx Me too. O.o

[aFasterGun]

@iBxTH3xCR33Dx

St.lk, close st.hp xx Galactic Tornado - A variation on your standard b'n'b combo, adding a lk to the beginning of it to start the combo quicker and hit confirm. However, this is a 1 frame link, so practice up before using this in a match.

[XBUGMANX]

@iBxTH3xCR33Dx you plink it. I think it's a one framer. so basically dive kick , lk, and then you press fierce punch and strong punch together really fast ( it should sound like a 64th note) and your fierce punch should always link, if you plink it together. OH and you gotta have a stick totally forgot.Plinking is what daigo uses to land those meaty ass combos.

[Oniro69]

Thanks for the tutorial, I love Rufus and I want to play well with this character.

Greetings

[Lrdvltr]

LOL! The Rufus song was hilarious!

[boxcuttersc]

thx man i learned a lot at the end when you were showing match up specific stuff. that is the kind of stuff that no one really talks about but after learning core combos and basic game play those are the most important things to know.

great job!!

[mikailkhang]

great vid... can we just block blanka's ultra and punish him when he lands rather than trade it with down MP? or is it his ultra unblockable in close range? thanks...

[phaseshifter3D]

Wow, very well made.

[MrSilentPunches]

Verrry nice tutorial. Wish I've seen this when I used to play Rufus.

Special thanks to those Blanka & Viper portions of the video. Never would've thought of these myself.

Thanks again.

[p0ncho]

Really sweet tute dude, are you planning on releasing one for another char? 5*

[Mikesta511]

When u do his messiah kick and the low kick u can cancel out and still go forward and snake strikes into ultra....anyways great vid

[Didiplouff]

nice tuto

[xDc17]

Ich kapier deinen Satz nicht °_°

Are you even german?

[nano5896]

Nice tutorial. I understand it very clearly. Thanks.

[shogunofyellow]

Shit man, that Blanka section was so long.

-Blanka player

[GodIkeKefka]

Extremely nice tutorial video.

[RMG8S]

5:19 when you say it doesn't work on all characters, who doesn't it work on exactly?

Other than that, fantastic tutorial.

[muffinluveruuu]

does work on all characters, you just have to use the correct snake strike...HP for almost everyone except a few (Sagat, Dhalsim, Akuma...). When in doubt just use ultra.

[RMG8S]

k thanks

[hazeddon]

Nice tutorial bro, very well made and not too long or complicated.
