05-28-10 Heidern (Vega) vs Flash Metroid (Makoto) - SSF4

[aimlesfez]

hahaha I was expecting the super+ultra combo at the end. That was a mouse trap.

[stanleys90]

turtle vegas by in large are piss poor excuses..they let too many opportunities slip by playing scared..id love to find another vega that brawls..at least its interesting

[FlawlessMatador1]

@stanleys90 Depends what you mean by "turtle". There are some characters that completely rape Vega if he tries to rush so you can't expect every Vega to not run away.

[stanleys90]

@FlawlessMatador1 with anybody but another vega i wouldnt expect waiting or running from the opponent. his reach, pokes, and wall jumps make it all too easy to redirect and beat spammers and other people to scared to trade licks, which oddly enough he wins most of the time too. funny for such a "low" tier, but either way i cant condone waiting for the sheer fact that vega has more advantageous moves to alter the fight quickly.

[FlawlessMatador1]

@stanleys90 It's true that when you do actually see a Vega in a tourney they do tend to have a pretty good win rate but it usually seems like it's because the opponent doesn't seem to know how to fight Vega since it's not really a char you run into much. Not having a reliable wake up game still makes it almost not worth it to run head on into a fight knowing one knock down could throw the game for you.

[stanleys90]

@FlawlessMatador1 it could always with his limited options, keeping up the anit grab and then a back flip can do the trick most of the time and straight to pokes again, but the best thing is the fierce punch and kick. they have priority over crouching uppers and can also stop weak shoryukens if your moving away..most projectile folks eventually have to turtle to counter effectively, anyway though. this has been fun mate. if you ever want to do some time in a lobby or something the names conroes

[FlawlessMatador1]

@stanleys90 Same here, I respect your input. Names FlawlessMatador on console if we happen to run into each other.

EPIC ENDING LOLZ!

[fauxx82]

lol flash metroid taunting when he almost lost that round to an awful player, figured as much from that kid

[misterbee180]

I see what you did there. Taunt -> fp = really hard slap!

[TheNewAlias]

Vega should be doing scissor kick after every forward kick (forgot the name)..its the most damage and there is no reason why you shouldn't be doing it except for poor execution/habit.

[MasterBitting]

woah... what a finish!

[wyce]

i just see a lot of failed cr mp into an ex dive...

[DeathandGrim2]

lmao at the ending like "this fly off an invisible wall shit? AGAIN!? You know what FUCK IT!!!!" *goes super saiyan*

[grimedoctor]

Lol @ 0:42. Is Makoto trying to send a message to those Russian guys?

[holographer]

My grandma plays vega better than that.

[taijutsu36]

does anyone know if makoto's super affect her special and ultra?

[FatBowlsForBreakfast]

@taijutsu36 Makoto's Super gives you bonus strength and some invincibility at the start. Definitely affects her ultra, increases it's power.

[bottledsoul]

This music makes me want to play blitzball.

[bottledsoul]

This music makes me want to play blitzball

[buddhasknowbest]

Makoto is female? I thought it was a boy...

[BBoyPhreshershist]

@buddhasknowbest the titties didn't give it away?

[Firel]

omg the end of round 2 i almost spat out my drink in how awesome that makoto is

[DrunkenDarwin]

flash has godly timing on the super and ultra

[MrNaughtyHands]

is capcom ever going to release a combined costume pack? i dont want to buy them all separate

[OptionSelectDotCom]

@MrNaughtyHands Near the end of this month.

[MrNaughtyHands]

@OptionSelectDotCom thank you!

also i main makoto but there are some things that just should not happen...like say getting grabbed out of a hayate that was just about to hit him...sigh

[birdmaine26]

NICE FUCKIN FINISH FLASH

[xanyleon]

Makoto = probably the best dash in the game?

[xeogen]

Punched Vega in the dick and knocked his mask off lol

[shindean]

2:35

There is nothing more evil than witnessing someone who knows how to use this games wacky heat seeking ultra attributes. Oh so so evil...lol.

[doubleshadows]

@shindean Totally agreeing here. So evil...

[Kotaru71]

Stupid mashing makoto player. lol

[TMALATERALUS]

@Kotaru71 You dont know what you are talking about

[flatboy13]

Omg love the CLUTCH moment at the end :) Makoto FTW

[zeroviva]

I thought that was a Super invins connect to Ultra1...

[illDiology]

I have a Makoto question: Is using st.MP into feint over and over a good option vs people mashing crouching jabs? I try to do this and too often either it is a trade or their jab beats my st.MP outright. Am I too slow with my feints? Or is st.MP into feint only useful to keep the pressure up on a blocking opponent?

[OptionSelectDotCom]

@illDiology You're correct, s.MP xx Feint creates less frame advantage then s.MP alone, so it's possible to squeeze in a jab between them. Doing s.MP xx Feint moves you torwards them, so that's the trade off. You're right on though, that it's useful to keep pressure on a blocking opponent. All this is covered in our Makoto tutorial which can be found on our channel. You should check it out :)

[tr3vis123]

@OptionSelectDotCom can u link me to ur mokoto tutorial i cant find it on ur channel :\

[DeepChunk35]

That was an awesome makoto. Did the super cause makoto to dodge vegas last attack or did he not attack at all?

[WuvableKel]

@DeepChunk35 Yea I think that's what happened, looks like he missed his grab/claw slash and then got caught with the ultra while recovering.

[Mafamaticks]

Runaway Vegas make Makoto angry. She gets red in the face and punches people in the dick.

[TheDimsh]

@Mafamaticks true ... so true

[klopsasaurus]

i hate youtube

[JCrest87]

Makoto looks like she'll be similar to Viper, both are very technical with high risk high reward mixups.

[xNewAgeWarriorx]

@JCrest87 Makoto isn't technical. Its more about reaction time.

[Nemonstitch]

That end was hilarious.

[graamd]

isnt that a super ultra finish?

[zeromage429]

Gotta love the backhand taunting finish @ 0:44

[rhr3132]

I realy enjoy watching Optionselect , they are all pro players .

[kazkazee]

wow i love this makoto
