[SFIV] Eshi (RY) / Areshii (RU) vs Tokowa (FU)

[JointOps13]

Fucking Badass

[squishumberries]

I have never seen such amazing daipan loops!

[zoraxpower]

Mega post!

[zoraxpower]

Multi post!

[zoraxpower]

triple post!

[zoraxpower]

Anti Sagat ftw.

[zoraxpower]

Get owned, noobs.

[acidglow]

awesome. I hate fuertes, lol.

[Anfmethodjor]

this is art

[kaniverjayz]

ElF is one of the most underated characters in this game, and thinking that he's only low tier is anyone's downfall if that's what they'll be thinking when going up against him. I hope the person who played him as ryu remembers that, this day and know's not to fuck with dat mexican cooker again.

[kamahhl]

4:47 - 5:01 was sooo crazy! Specially the las crossover!

[XxbestofthebestxX]

Just destroyed everyone! Fuerte beasting right there. Im maining fuerte I really need to get his infinite down and then im all set

[KRiSiSxFLCM]

By the way, his name is "Torowa" not "Tokowa"

[ninjachipzanuff]

god damn that daipain loops were straight up machine-like, naaaasty

[mhurtado07]

Fuerte perfecting a sagat, always great to see that for a change.

[burningeagle12345]

i would like to see this el furte's hands on a joystick lol can you imagine the speed! haha.

[DeStryke51]

rape...

[Tsukasa009]

Fucking beastly Fuerte...

[coffinjoe66]

that fuerte is fuckin amazing..

[goliatxlt]

wtf did just hapenned lol, that last round was amazing, viva Mexico!

[MustachioFurioso1]

I hate that sagat was able to do more damage as el fuerte did with just 4 moves that didnt even combo while el fuerte was actually comboing and doing some good moves. But that last round made it all ok because even i didnt know wtf was going on there.

[RobofRobs]

The japanese voice of Fuerte is much manlier than the US version, where he's all Speedy Gonzalesafied.

[SpikeCuervo]

Kickass ELF

[zxain]

Tokowa is a fucking monsterrrrrrrrrrr.

[GoldSamuraiArmor]

This El Fuerte player was SO ahead of his time, amazing. I hope he still plays.

[AcrossandOver]

All you Feurte players out there:

0:20 to 0:23, is it possible to chain the attack almost indefinitely?

[piratejing]

im pretty sure you can only chain that 9 times

[SukiyakixD]

not really... I've seen 16 or something like it.

And mostly they use it 9 times because the opponent get stunned around it, so it is a forced stop .

[IamTheMaximum]

@SukiyakixD You're wrong. MOST Fuerte's stop at 3 or 4 because they don't want to stun their opponent in the middle of RSF. If they stun an opponent that many hits into it, anything they do after the opponent is stunned will be scaled to almost nothing.

[KRiSiSxFLCM]

@SukiyakixD 15 is the record held by TKD and Tetsu lol. also, after 9 times there is like no damage output, so they backdash>stop>forward dash> RSF> repeat lol

[ragingdemon56]

yes but after 5 hits its practically useless. damage scaling would make each hit do superfluous damage. its best to end it after 3-4

[zxain]

no, 9 hits then it stuns.

[pandakickmyleg]

This is the level of el fuerteness that i want to reach. Right now im at 15% win rate, but one day ill get there!

[lOneSniperl]

Speechless.

[sunggeorge]

Every time when I get frustrated with Fuerte I just come watch this. And know I can be that Fuerte one day, fight with that Sagat and ............ lol

[happyhopper]

Amazing.

[Dagmachine]

jooooder me quedao flipao la ostia como juega ese tio con el fuerte, en una palabra impresionante.

[danieldinho101]

holy sh!t. beast mode on the sagat. he tought it was in the bag 2. great f'ing mix up

[DanielJr]

That was incredible.

[DonkeyFuck]

Crazy stuff. Hes like a little mouse

[OscarMaris]

The first player's name is Ezo not Eshi

[cookiehours]

O-O

that el feurte was awesome.

[D3L33Uw]

that last round blows my mind

[Realmasterorder]

Wow ! that was the Best El fuerte i ever seen !

He played great and did not even abuse all the hits of the runing HP as he could :)

Maybe this kind of players will get him higher in the tier list ..

[shermanchoo]

nice el fuerte!

[19TSEliot48]

That last round with Sagat the faggot is the sickest fucking perfect I've ever seen.

[SpadeHand]

Super dynamic cooking time

[DrCoke]

This may have been mentioned already, but the Elf player's name is "Torowa", not "Tokowa". Just to clarify.

Amazing plays from him though. Definitely want to see more of him.

[LucarioLimit]

Damn!! I wish I played that well as Fuerte.

[Nigglips]

didnt telegraph anything? he got fucked up on a wakeup dragon punch and then in the next round fucked up the ex guacamole throw on the next whiffed dp

really easy stuff that you have to learn if you wanna play fuerte.

really impressive player tho

[FlameSting]

that was one instance, and it was more due to fuerte not running back soon enough, rather than ryu guessing correctly.

naturally, he made execution mistakes...everyone does (japan Yuns in 3s screw up Genei Jin combos often)

just watch how his wakeup game is, the opponent can't read if he's gonna splash, shower kick, throw, tortilla, or jab fast enough because he's not telegraphing (ie. running forward ALL the time for splash, running back ALL the time for tortilla, not running for jab, etc.)

[FlameSting]

Can't really imagine a better Fuerte player than this. Really REALLY good mixup and crossup game. He never telegraphs what he's gonna do on wakeup ( unlike me :( )

...and of course his RSF execution is great.

[Jijichamploo]

Best Fuerte player I have ever seen in my whole life! wow

[MarioBro15]

@Jijichamploo you should check out furiousjodo

[TrafalgarWakka]

first round vs sagat = awesome comeback, good job tokowa

[pianoNgrapez]

tokowa, let me carry your books for you

[wywywywywywy]

Wow, two roundhouses from Sagat and Elf lost a quarter of his life! He is right to be using the infinite.

[MIMIC8801]

3:03

HOLY SHIT!!! lmao

[udonodalents]

the character fuerte puts his ass in people's faces WTF

[Roghman]

I'd be more impressed if he managed to win with Fuerte without abusing the infinite FP string.

[Energyone]

You have any idea how hard it is to use that though? That's why Capcom made it his hardest combo challenge!

[Energyone]

'Spam' is a term that scrubs use, because they can't figure out how to defeat a player that uses the same move over and over. Honestly - that's a fact. Look at some high level play sites, they will all tell you the same thing.

[primalhunter2]

The thing is, he is winning. The other person isn't.

[shayneboogie]

Okay...then tell all the shoto players to not rely on their srk's because it has too much priority. Tell them to use their other moves.

You eat more damage from moves like srk's than you do from fuerte's loop. It's not an infinite.

[Energyone]

Yeah, highest I've ever seen is a 9 hit. It is crazy hard to do.

[KenDeep]

Do not rely on damage only. Some string may get the opponent frustraded, thus leading them to make mistakes.

[kaitenuser]

@KenDeep Your quote is the unknown truth that people just don't seem to get. Sometime do a strange/funky combo for 20% than a bread and butter for 30% When they see something they have NEVER seen before it completely throws them off of their game. It makes connecting with EVERYTHING ELSE easier. Keep preaching to them KenDeep, they don't hear you :)

[SoggyPizzaPockets1]

Zone Elf? Heh, you're funny. An Elf player of this caliber isn't going to be zoned very well just due to the nature of Elf in general. You're pretty much obligated to beat them at their own game instead of trying to run yours. Search other vids with this guy (Ero Fuerte) and see how badly he rapes Sagat players.

[gusmactavish]

So when he dizzies Sagat he should just use a less powerful combo? Maybe he should give Sagat a couple of free hits to even it up a little!

[sablesoul]

It's not called abusing HIS HARDEST TRIAL COMBO IS THE ACTUAL STRING.

Capcom knows of it's existence, He is considered one of the lowest tier characters in the game. Sagat just didn't know how to play defensive.

[echeesekid]

fuerte's mixups are BETTER than 50/50. its like a 1/3 chance you are guessing right.

this is probably the best fuerte ive seen so far

[mrbamp1re]

omfg this guy is nuts

[LilevilWC3]

lol gotta love El Fuerte so unpredictable

[JDsguy]

Watching players whove been carried by "high tier" characters lose to a "lower tier" character brings tears of joy to my eyes.

[tigerclaw2]

I just heard that fuerte can do the body splash and special throw after jumping off the wall by pressing up, forward, punch and that he can control the distance of the wall jump... Why didnt the game's trial mode teach me that?

[FlameSting]

The challenges don't tell you much at all about him...his final challenge just says HP HP HP.

[wildfire3969]

damn that inf. loop is way to hard to do with the 360dpad I need the joystick

[Fome]

Somebody needs to learn to read Japanese. It should say: "Eji vs. Torowa," not "Eshi vs. Tokowa"

[bailey2107]

dude it's "ezo"

[Fome]

Damnit that's what I get for watching this on an iphone...

[Mojahideen]

sick shit awsome

[Jeremy092387]

Was that El fuerte's infinite demonstrated in that final match vs. Sagat? I heard about it but I've never seen it.

I honestly think that El Fuerte is more dangerous than people give him credit for.

[koroshiya8]

LOL... this guy is good but is El Fuerte strong? Yes, for now because he is still relatively unknown. It is just a matter of time before he gets countered.

[yuut0pe]

that looping punch is freaking cheesy.....

dame good player....dame good.

[BlackestIncarnAZN]

It'd be cheesy if it was easy to do.

[justingrotonfromsrk]

ah the cry of the scrub

[lodare87]

That last round vs sagat was brutal, can you really be that good? damn, gotta start training I suppose

[RaishinX]

Sag' got owned the fuck up

[darkink0218]

wow. all i have to say is fuck the tier list. El Fuerte FTW! Raging Pride!!! lol, made my day! =)

[LoneHero33]

Only thing I can say is Dynamite!

[moonlightjr]

0:19 wtf

[229time]

Rape like that should not be allowed.

[mushdog]

This guy's an incredible player. With those kind of mix-ups, how can you defend?

[sil80drifts]

this guy is my hero, i learned so much from this video now to work it into my elf game

[lbjames231]

LMAO at that last round...

I'm glad Sagat got his Fagat ass whooped.

[skullblader]

ohhh so fuckin ba-rutal. man greatest Fuerte ever.

[gaborsama]

Best Elf I've seen so far, incredible.

[lalaborat]

Too bad people with NORMAL hand reflexes will never be able to do what this guy did... lol

[gusmactavish]

Brilliant

[xZombonic]

Sagat got his ass handed to him.

[fightmiyagi]

thats a good elf. well done

[mariospidey64]

insanity, that was just insanity

[LeadTester]

SANTO TACO AMIGO ! ! !

[KumaOso16]

HOLY TACO FRIEND!!!

[zoned75]

holy crap xD Fuerte montage vid haha sagat just got completely raped well done

[markitymark90]

I like El fuerte cause he's really unpredictable.

[furyboy38109]

Tortilla

[stryflyer]

That was very sexy and I gotta hand it to Tokowa he just tore Sagat a new ass

[FlagshipFighter]

i really like el's combo's!

[Ghostpilot]

4:38 onward is one of my favorite moments in fighting.

[AzuroMasurao]

Dude...that had me fucking rolling...Sagat could do NOTHING! LOL!

[ocelot09]

Oh wow. My new favorite Fuerte player. Loved all the Dynamite finishes.

[MattsDMan79]

Wow Rufus got completely raped in that first round.

[pacoveli]

I was already gonna play with Fuerte. But after this, he may be a lil bit higher on my list of priorities.... lol

[daftmuffin]

Great Comeback in first Sagat fight!

amazing finishing blow too. (Applause)

[strider2k2]

Incredible Fuerte!

[sngoku]

4:50 Who pressed FF?Q

[Rrepp88]

After watching this video, I feel like SF4 has a real chance of being a great successor to Third Strike. But we shall see.

[fourtwo]

Well, not a successir, SFIIITS dont needed, in fact SSFIIT, SFIIITS and SFIV there three distincs product. Each one got is quality.

[zephyrblayze]

Saying that was impressive would be a grave understatement... wow.

[enigmatic247]

lmao, well said

[saintdestroy]

Ezo, not Eshi.

[tabben82]

Wow, that is one crazy fuerte.

Tho its pretty crazy how close his moves is with Ramon in KoF.

[maximumwangchung]

dude his squeaky shoes are freaking hilarious

[IndigoR]

Best El Fuerte I've ever seen!

Got a Perfect on the last match too, AMAZING!

[raxzar]

very impressive el fuerte.

[dodgers2213]

holy fuckin shit.....

[furyboy38109]

favorited

[jewishlilboy]

and he's considered low tier...why? lol

[LUESoldat]

Probably because he's too difficult for casual SF players to use to his full potential.

I mean, it's much easier to play a good Sagat than it is to play a good Fuerte.

Doesn't mean Fuerte sucks at his highest level though, as seen in this vid.

[RadiantSilvergun3]

Because he's low tier. simple as that. The tier spread is really small so low chars still do really well.

[LUESoldat]

Who concludes what tier he belongs in? The players right?

well, if the players can't use Elf to his full potential, how can they give him a fair tier rating?

It's too early to give an accurate tier rating, even when SF4's console version is still up and coming.

[KritzKun]

lol my bad repeated my self twice with that unique ability shit lol

[iLikeSquid]

Takes a lot of damage, doesn't deal that much.

He was at 50%ish percent after two DPs and a fireball. By comparison, he only did big damage with his loop after a focus or punish, which isn't the most reliable way to deal damage.

[EvilNando]

could he be the one to kick daigo's ass?

[shemshenko]

Holy Crap!! this guy is an animal

[LUESoldat]

His name is Torowa. Not Tokowa.

[CmdZOD]

i agree, his name is indeed torowa not tokowa. Seems someone misread a katakana ;)

[Fstrike]

O_O.... damn Tokowa is the first Fuerte player I've seen that has done that loop combo the longest

[menumba1]

wow! this fuerte is the bomb!!!
