Street Fighter IV - Vega's (Claw) Ultra Crossup

Street Fighter 4 (PS3)

How to set up the Crossup Ultra Combo (Bloody High Claw)

After throwing or backthrowing Blanka, Balrog or Sagat at mid-screen and quickly doing the Bloody High Claw, the attack will hit the opponent, crossing him up.

(this means that you actually have to hold FORWARD if you want to block it. notice in this video that sagat is holding back.)

unfortunately, i don't see much use for this. not only is the spacing very situational (only seems to work midscreen) but the opponent can easily backdash out of it (backdash has invincibility frames).

I tried leaving a video response but I don't think it worked. I just uploaded a video called SSF4 Memories under my account and it shows me pulling off the crossup a few times. If anyone wants to see what it looks like in a real match feel free to watch it_^)

Sagat, Dhalsim, Vega, Hakan, Adon, and Blanka doesn't work if you do it immediately after the neutral throw. As for everyone else it works but once again you have to crank it out real fast. There's no way to hit Vega during this setup which makes it real cool.

Just went and tried this out. Insanely hard and the timing is different on Sagat. Still, it's so dang cool compared to Splendid Claw >_< Any more crossup setups? I know if you sweep them and get up real close jump off their wall and ultra they can't stand block and after an izuna drop, sweep to get close, ultra your wall they can't duck it really.
