In my opinion, the best Seth(by far) and the best C.Viper... but something need to be done to Viper U1, too may safe ways to confirm from anywhere on the screen and do a ton of DMG...
@JoshPeters53 Naw not his style. He uses many option selects that Adon doesn't have. He also uses Seth's command grab after a dive kick, 2 options adon doesn't have either. Not the same character, not even close. Imo, Seth is the perfect character for Poongko. Poongko is a showman, a showoff, a very flashy player. He's the type of player who likes to go crazy in a match and who better to do that with than Seth?
@QudansJr No he didn't. He knew that Seth's Dp would beat out that m.cancel. Those cancels into other normals are punishable on block and the actual block string isn't really a block string, so Poongko can reversal DP.
i love watching pros play any fighting game.. its so smooth that you think you can play as fluid as them.. its like watching a martial arts movie sometimes.. you can see the characters thinking.. its impressive how different they play vs the norm play
the thing that needs be toned down with Fei is that damn ex flame kick that shit does like too much damage and the 1000 frames of start up invincibility it has.
I can't wait to check this video in a week or so to see how many asshurt fanboys there are in the comments.
Don't get me wrong I root for the home player which for me is poongko (korean native) but cmon give latiff some credit here, he beat poongko, he made good reads and beat him fair and square. alright its done. no op comments or anything its fucking done.
Wow the reads on this match were crazy, it was almost like they'd been playing each other for years and knew each other like the back of their hands. Great set for sure.
Scrubs Everywhere... they are all confusing skill with Cheap, Viper Cheap?? come on i main Vega, and if i where to make it at a TOP 8 would that make Vega OP??? No Yuns on Top 3 yet we all know he is OP and cheap right??? Seth ranked 3rd place so hes definitely OP. Come on just learn the matches and out play the player not the character, Vanilla Vega had like 3/7 to a Sagat and i found it to be a match in my favor. So stop being pussies and crank up your own lv of play.
Owh and one more thing. If we see a Viper nerf on the 2012 balance patch, then I can absolutely declare that guy Yoshinori Ono is a retard motherfucker. He is just listening to people who does not play the game extensively, yet does not want to learn anything & just asking for an easy way to deal with her.
Way too many ways to combo into ultra? That makes her OP? So they should nerf Rufus, Ryu, etc. too right? Almost anyone can fadc an invincible move with an easy hit confirm to ultra. Viper takes TONS of work to get good with, and her no-meter FADCs aren't easy to do, none of her Super Jump Cancels are. How are they supposed to nerf her mixups? Make her even MORE vulnerable after a blocked burning kick? They already did that from Vanilla to super. Learn to play rather than complain.
Latif worked hard to get his Viper to this level. Anyone saying she is "OP, cheap & low learning curve", face it. You're just jealous cause you can't even pull seismo>super jump cancel burning kick, let alone the multiple fierce feint > ex seismo/ultra. I have mad respect to people who main Viper, their muscle memory are just too damn good. LOL at top 8 Viper using a pad as an indicator that she is OP. Wolfkrone worked hard practicing, not like you guys who complained all day long.
@Babyboo186 Scrubs to mid tier good players to solid players down to "true" good players, No scrubs I doubt that I can defiantly name some right now if I wanted too
I guess, but you need to win at least 5 games (not sure how many through the loser's bracket) against people that bothered to show up, which means they can't be that scrubby. I guess it's all subjective anyways who are scrubs (and what makes them so) and who aren't.
The reason why people say that she is OP is because she does in fact have a favoredable match up against Yun. Most pros say that Viper vs Yun is at least 6-4 in favor of Viper, but having an advatageous matchup against Yun doesn't make her OP in itself.
After all, the Seth vs Yun matcup is 7-3 in favor of. Seth. If Viper is OP and "broke" then Seth is more so since he has an even more advantageous matchup against Yun.
@IHeartDieWaffenSS2 i love when people label matchups 7-3 like it ain't shit lol. SSF4 guile vs bison is 7-3, MvC2 strider vs sent is 7-3, ST gief vs any-non-fireball-character-not-named-t.hawk is 7-3. the reason why some people claim viper is broken is because she has powerful, untraditional tools; mainly the super jump. it leads to sjc's and her overall moveset makes zoning and simple things such as throw mixups weird against her.
@IHeartDieWaffenSS2 also, the seth-yun matchup is agreed on by the majority of people as 5-5. 7-3 would mean that seth outright dominates yun, making yun have to commit to high-risk, mediocre reward situations which we know is not the case. in fact, i don't know where you're getting this "viper vs yun is 6-4, pros said so" bullshit from either. the fact that you're calling top players "pros" shows how much of a scrub you are and how you go by what others say rather than your own knowledge
Another ignorant P.o.S. who thinks that just because Yun is S-Tier that means he doesn't have any bad match ups. BTW, your train solo on guitar is worse than a dog's ass. Quit while your at it before you start to give people mental problems with your horrendous "skills"
@IHeartDieWaffenSS2 thats not me playing guitar thats my brother and how long ago was that like 3 years. and you still didint explain where you got these numbers i want a link to a video an interview with one of these top players you quote or a blog from any of the top players. i would also like to know if you play ssf4 on xbox so i can play you and see if your just a butt hurt yun scrub or a player that actually knows what hes talking about.
@IHeartDieWaffenSS2 Without being rude, you clearly have zero idea my friend. She certainly does not have any advantage over Yun. And where ever you got the idea that Seth Vs Yun was 7-3 is just laughable. My guess is that you're a new Poongko fan having seen him do very well against Momochi & Diagos Yuns in recent tournys. And trust me on this, It just so happens that Seth is my main and Viper is my sub ( it was the reverse in Vanilla ) so i know what I am talking about.
Viper is a player-dependent character. Hardly changed for 2.5 years and people have been grinding their asses off with her for that long. It's admirable cuz she's dangerous to play as with high-execution high-risk & low life. While other characters get nerfed and buffed left & right, she stayed basically the same & now the best 2 1/2 viper players in U.S. have shown the results of their efforts & dedication. She's not cheap, the players are just monsters
@benjeezorus but viper has almost no reversals and has no real AA normals. Plus your execution skills do have to be very well done to play with her. As opposed to a online honda i saw last night that got a 10 win streak doing nothing but butt slams.
you know nothing of SF do you. 09er at its best. this what happens when new generation kids pick up a game like SF. it becomes corrupt. and please dont give me Wikipedia info on how your another "old school gamer" whos been playing SF since SF1 (who the fuck played that piece of shit competitively anyways?). your a scrub, and your just a salty troll who doesnt know any better. go back to playing with Lego's kiddo.
when you have kids who have never played a harder SF game like ST/3rd Strike...and start out with a very easy SF like SF4, you get cocky brats who think they know more then the Japanese/American/Europe etc...pros who make up the tier-lists. they start saying stupid things like Viper is broken. this is why we got useless nerfs to Blanka Fuerte Gen, etc...because kids couldnt beat them, so they cried nerf.
@Chaldean4life91 she's no yun/yang/fei but she's in the tier right below them with gief, sagat and a couple others. no character in this game is OP and i know you werent implying that she wasnt but viper is easily one of teh better characters in the game
shes a strong character IF you take the time and dedication to put into her. shes in no way a pick-up-and-play character as that dunce benjeezorus stated. shes got her rewards if you are patient and suffer the difficulty of learning and mastering her. thats my whole point. and like you said shes definitely no Yun/Yang/Fei
@Chaldean4life91 she will probably get nerfed in the rebalance though. ideally id like to see all the low tier characters get buffs and dont nerf anyone, but as usual we'll probably see the top 5 or 6 characters get nerfed.
are you saying it takes an equal amount of skill to play Super Turbo then it does to play SF4? if so then thats total bs tbh. and those top Japanese players got into SF (not fighting games in general) with SF4. they have had some experience outside of SF4, in fighting games (majorly KOF, Virtua Fighter etc...)
these days you have kids who theyre whole life have never played a fighting game, coming in and telling us whats what. theres a problem with that. a BIG problem.
@Chaldean4life91 Do you think that, by simply rephrasing exactly what I just said, you're making some kind of argument? Instead of blindly raging because you think game A requires more skill than game B, calm down and think about what you're reading/writing.
ST is a much more unforgiving game than SFIV, both in terms of execution and game play and most people see them as completely different games, despite being part of the same series. It takes different skills to play different games.
i asked you a question countering your question. how is that rephrasing your statement? and no Game A (ST) does NOT require the same amount of skill as game B (SF4). youd have to be a true idiot to think that. they have different skill sets to play the game, no one is arguing there. its just that your probably gonna spend a good 2-3 years getting decent at ST, were as SF4 takes a good 3-4 months. trust me ive tried both. ive seen both at high play.
and no one is raging. i didnt swear once (except the bs thing). i just sound mad because these kids are really irritating. there new to SF Franchise, and they already think theyre the shit at it. theyre ruining the game for people who have played it and understand it more. theyre trolls...nothing more.
@benjeezorus other then sit here and bash you because of you opinion, i actually want to know why and how you feel that viper is OP. im expecting not to here any good answers from you but if you can manage to explain why she is over powered compared to the rest of the cast then please do so.
@benjeezorus Seth is the one w/ a Command grab, head stomps, Invincible Ultra II (C. Vipers has none) he has a 3hit shoryuken (can combo after EX w/ meter), A projectile, A lot of juggle with his Cr.H Punch and a move that reels you in so he can combo off of it if you don't block or Cr.L kick into command grab if you do. Canceling moves to do combos w/ Viper is harder than using seth and there isn't a difference between a Stick and a Pad I can do anything on a Pad that you can do on a stick.
Awesome set. Viper is in NO way cheap, anyone who says otherwise obviously hasn't tried to play as her. Also, isn't it funny how "VIPER IS CHEAP OMGZ" has only come up after EVO..?
@benjeezorus agree, people who says shes cheap are a fucking twat.Think you can just pick her up and do burn kicks all day?Yeah go try that hahaha
Takes fucking work to play her.You have to put in months and months into her to just get combos down.After that you need strong nerves cause with viper. you better be on point for every punish or else you just wasting time.
@benjeezorus Viper OP+Easy to play? Lmao. I love it how when a character makes a heavy splash at a tournament, they automatically become OP. Viper is nowhere near OP, horrible defense and bad wake up. She's a 50/50 character just like Akuma, Ibuki and El Fuerte. With more tools than the latter 2. And easy to play? She's one of if not the most execution heavy character in the game. And that pad comment was just plain fucking ignorant.
@KoolaidsBack I agree. It's surprising how cheap this character can be. Especially if you know how to use the character like Latif and Wolfkrone do. It's not even right, haha.
Poongko turned the match in his favor when he started using the spd. He tried it once in the last match but whiffed. Good match. No fluke. I would like to see a Wolfkrone v Poongko set.
@rotarydialz For me I'd rather see a Latif vs Wolfkrone match... or did that happen at Evo? I was so hyped for Poongko and Latif that I forgot about those matches xD
Oh and another note.....I admit that the GRAND FINALS were a let down as far as hyped matches go. C'mon who didnt want to see Daigo work his way back up to show Poongko a little somethin somethin (no homo?). Then Latif gets bodied 3-0 PERSONALLY there was no hype in that grand finals as I just watched Latif get outplayed.
@CABdosdos I happens dude. EVO grand finals last year wasn't hype either. It's not a wrestling show where it's scripted for fans. It just happens like that sometimes.
@valk4life Who gives a shit? Ricky is a legend. He's one of the best American players. For you to cancel out his amazing gameplay because he's gay just goes to show how much of a fucking dumbass you are. I hate homophobic comments like this, you must be from the south.
@CABdosdos That's generally how tournaments work. In one of the box arena tourneys (the one where Marn won), Losers finals were more hype than Grand Finals. Unless something major happens like Evo Moment #37 or the crowd favorite gets bodied by a sucky ass character (such as one guy picking Dan and another picking Yun) the grand finals will always be less hype than the matches preceding it.
@CABdosdos Latif did admit that getting 6 wins from losers was a really tough hill to climb for him especially against a really solid player in Fuudo playing the best character of the game in this version. If he had beat Fuudo earlier, it would definitely would have been a different story.
People are hating cause this is the fighting game community. So yeah it really is jealously. I mean, I wish I could enter the scene from what seems to be out of nowhere and body like 95% of the tournament level players. Latif is gifted at what he does, that is for sure. And he's still got some polishing to do. Just imagine..
Lmao why u all hating on Latif ?? He shows that if you work hard anyone can get to the top, he was nothing a year ago and he just blew up this year. He should inspire you, the top people can't be the best forever
@xtxoxpxd Let me rephrase since it sounds silly. A lot of people were Daigo and Poongyo dick riders such as myself. He took them both out, then got DESTROYED by Fuudo. I wouldn't mind if he won but he took out such huge names to lose... Killed me inside.
@demisogi I agree with this guy. Poongko, Daigo, and Tokido were the heavy favorites to win. Instead, we saw two no names doing the same crap we've been seeing out of Fei and Viper for 3 versions of the game.
You obviously haven't seen Latif before. The dude pretty much ocv'd everybody at sbo qualifiers. Stop trying to make him seem less deserving of the second place he got.
I agree with you about fuudo though.... fei-long scrub
@UltimaWeapon08 Thank you I was just gonna say hes a freaking retard that some no name ass here on youtube is saying that blah blah didn't deserve the win. Thats like saying Daigo or Mago don't deserve to be placing this high in the tournament. Ridiculous stuff. I'm glad you told him off for me otherwise I woulda done the same.
@UltimaWeapon08 Because going from giving somebody credit to just saying "lol scrub" doesn't raise any flags? I even fucking separated it from the main body
@TheP3NDU1UM Just because you added some spaces in between and gave Latif praise beforehand does NOT mean that your last statement was suppose to be sarcastic. Sarcasm is all about voice. You cannot properly show sarcasm in a comment through text unless you just flat out say you were being sarcastic, which you didn't. So, please, don't defend yourself by saying "such and such shows how I was being sarcastic", because you know that's bull.
@CheshireMoose You obviously know nothing if you think those two are no namers. lol, Fuudo was on par with Daigo in Vanilla, and beat a lot of top Japanese players in the past. Latif on the other hand might not be 'well known' internationally, but he was definitely known for being top in the US.
@itsmejamiechan Leave it to a bunch of scrubs to talk about this game as if they know anything. They can't play and they lack knowledge, and yet they still wanna comment. Those are the true stupid idiots in the fighting community.
@drumfreakx I know, i love poongko, ever since he played dhalsim in vanilla. I don't understand why most of the community can't have multiple favorite players.. They liked someone and hate everyone else lol.
@Nexttimeillwin This "skinny ass loser" beat both Poongko and Daigo. You have to remember that America had AE for 2 months and I assume that Asia had it for 8. That gives any foreign people in Asia no excuse to just destroy America and Fuudo showed that. Don't call him a loser when he made top 2 just like how an American got 2nd place last year.
@Thedarkside02 He got 50 health (Doesn't do much) 150 stun (still nothing) and a tiny bit of increased damage on ultra 1 and legs. Now let's get to nerfs... Ultra 1 was changed to a projectile so a fireball can beat it. It also captures less of the screen (vertically) Ultra 2's range was shortened. His dive kick was nerfed in speed and hitbox. His Chun-li leg in air was nerfed to where the hitbox is smaller than a mouse. He lost his arms which got nerfed anyway in super.
@Thedarkside02 Haha, relax man. I have nothing against Latif. He's probably the best Viper in the world. It's either him or Wolfkrone. I'm just a Poongko fanboy... I will always pull for Poongko.
@Nexttimeillwin Oh I agree with you. I love Poongko as well. His Steve Austin hype always makes me giddy! I'm just sick and tired of everyone getting pissed off at Latif for beating both Poongko and Daigo. The man deserves it. He's been playing online (with a lot of lag) ever since Vanilla. He at least deserves some credit for giving America a chance to win Evo.
@Thedarkside02 Nah man, I'm not trying to take credit from him. I'm not blind... I know a good player when I see one. Latif is an amazing player. I was just rooting for Poongko and when he lost I decided to make a funny comment, haha.
Latif just let Poongko win set 3 and 4 so that he doesnt look bad infront of his fans.

when you have kids who have never played a harder SF game like ST/3rd Strike...and start out with a very easy SF like SF4, you get cocky brats who think they know more then the Japanese/American/Europe etc...pros who make up the tier-lists. they start saying stupid things like Viper is broken. this is why we got useless nerfs to Blanka Fuerte Gen, etc...because kids couldnt beat them, so they cried nerf.
for the record...Viper is NOT OP
Chaldean4life91 7 months ago
@Chaldean4life91 she's no yun/yang/fei but she's in the tier right below them with gief, sagat and a couple others. no character in this game is OP and i know you werent implying that she wasnt but viper is easily one of teh better characters in the game
xXBroJacKsoNXx 7 months ago
@xXBroJacKsoNXx
shes a strong character IF you take the time and dedication to put into her. shes in no way a pick-up-and-play character as that dunce benjeezorus stated. shes got her rewards if you are patient and suffer the difficulty of learning and mastering her. thats my whole point. and like you said shes definitely no Yun/Yang/Fei
Chaldean4life91 7 months ago
@Chaldean4life91 she will probably get nerfed in the rebalance though. ideally id like to see all the low tier characters get buffs and dont nerf anyone, but as usual we'll probably see the top 5 or 6 characters get nerfed.

@Chaldean4life91 A lot of top Japanese players only got into SF when IV released; just so you know. Each SF iteration requires a different skill-set.

@SmokeyAmp
are you saying it takes an equal amount of skill to play Super Turbo then it does to play SF4? if so then thats total bs tbh. and those top Japanese players got into SF (not fighting games in general) with SF4. they have had some experience outside of SF4, in fighting games (majorly KOF, Virtua Fighter etc...)
these days you have kids who theyre whole life have never played a fighting game, coming in and telling us whats what. theres a problem with that. a BIG problem.
Chaldean4life91 7 months ago
@Chaldean4life91 Do you think that, by simply rephrasing exactly what I just said, you're making some kind of argument? Instead of blindly raging because you think game A requires more skill than game B, calm down and think about what you're reading/writing.
ST is a much more unforgiving game than SFIV, both in terms of execution and game play and most people see them as completely different games, despite being part of the same series. It takes different skills to play different games.
SmokeyAmp 7 months ago
@SmokeyAmp
i asked you a question countering your question. how is that rephrasing your statement? and no Game A (ST) does NOT require the same amount of skill as game B (SF4). youd have to be a true idiot to think that. they have different skill sets to play the game, no one is arguing there. its just that your probably gonna spend a good 2-3 years getting decent at ST, were as SF4 takes a good 3-4 months. trust me ive tried both. ive seen both at high play.
Chaldean4life91 7 months ago

and no one is raging. i didnt swear once (except the bs thing). i just sound mad because these kids are really irritating. there new to SF Franchise, and they already think theyre the shit at it. theyre ruining the game for people who have played it and understand it more. theyre trolls...nothing more.

TPazTheSpaz 7 months ago
@benjeezorus Seth is the one w/ a Command grab, head stomps, Invincible Ultra II (C. Vipers has none) he has a 3hit shoryuken (can combo after EX w/ meter), A projectile, A lot of juggle with his Cr.H Punch and a move that reels you in so he can combo off of it if you don't block or Cr.L kick into command grab if you do. Canceling moves to do combos w/ Viper is harder than using seth and there isn't a difference between a Stick and a Pad I can do anything on a Pad that you can do on a stick.

Awesome set. Viper is in NO way cheap, anyone who says otherwise obviously hasn't tried to play as her. Also, isn't it funny how "VIPER IS CHEAP OMGZ" has only come up after EVO..?

@BBWFTyrant ambigious cross ups that result in pure guess work and a million and one ways to combo into her ultra, yeah she's cheap.
I've said she's OP since super, sadly the faggot twins stole the limelight from her. She's top 4 character. She needs nerfing

Everyone with common sense said that before evo.

@benjeezorus agree, people who says shes cheap are a fucking twat.Think you can just pick her up and do burn kicks all day?Yeah go try that hahaha
Takes fucking work to play her.You have to put in months and months into her to just get combos down.After that you need strong nerves cause with viper. you better be on point for every punish or else you just wasting time.

@benjeezorus Oh so since she got second at EVO she is now OP? smh dude. She has been the same since vanilla. Why werent you calling her cheap then?
OMEGAwho 7 months ago
@benjeezorus Viper OP+Easy to play? Lmao. I love it how when a character makes a heavy splash at a tournament, they automatically become OP. Viper is nowhere near OP, horrible defense and bad wake up. She's a 50/50 character just like Akuma, Ibuki and El Fuerte. With more tools than the latter 2. And easy to play? She's one of if not the most execution heavy character in the game. And that pad comment was just plain fucking ignorant.

Oh and another note.....I admit that the GRAND FINALS were a let down as far as hyped matches go. C'mon who didnt want to see Daigo work his way back up to show Poongko a little somethin somethin (no homo?). Then Latif gets bodied 3-0 PERSONALLY there was no hype in that grand finals as I just watched Latif get outplayed.

Nexttimeillwin 7 months ago
@CABdosdos That's generally how tournaments work. In one of the box arena tourneys (the one where Marn won), Losers finals were more hype than Grand Finals. Unless something major happens like Evo Moment #37 or the crowd favorite gets bodied by a sucky ass character (such as one guy picking Dan and another picking Yun) the grand finals will always be less hype than the matches preceding it.
Thedarkside02 7 months ago
@CABdosdos Latif did admit that getting 6 wins from losers was a really tough hill to climb for him especially against a really solid player in Fuudo playing the best character of the game in this version. If he had beat Fuudo earlier, it would definitely would have been a different story.

People are hating cause this is the fighting game community. So yeah it really is jealously. I mean, I wish I could enter the scene from what seems to be out of nowhere and body like 95% of the tournament level players. Latif is gifted at what he does, that is for sure. And he's still got some polishing to do. Just imagine..

demisogi 7 months ago

@TheP3NDU1UM Just because you added some spaces in between and gave Latif praise beforehand does NOT mean that your last statement was suppose to be sarcastic. Sarcasm is all about voice. You cannot properly show sarcasm in a comment through text unless you just flat out say you were being sarcastic, which you didn't. So, please, don't defend yourself by saying "such and such shows how I was being sarcastic", because you know that's bull.

That gives any foreign people in Asia no excuse to just destroy America and Fuudo showed that. Don't call him a loser when he made top 2 just like how an American got 2nd place last year.

Ultra 1 was changed to a projectile so a fireball can beat it. It also captures less of the screen (vertically) Ultra 2's range was shortened. His dive kick was nerfed in speed and hitbox. His Chun-li leg in air was nerfed to where the hitbox is smaller than a mouse. He lost his arms which got nerfed anyway in super.
