neojedi:
It's nice to see SS4 action, but I wouldn't call it high-level tournament play, I've seen way more dangerous players in arcades over here. The Ukyo players move very well, but I don't see what he is doing in a tournament, not when half the characters in the game have setups that can do almost a bar in damage.
Rimmy missed an easy infinite in the corner -- maybe the rules are no true infinites (you'd have to have that rule to make the game playable), but even then, she could have finished the 14-hitter to power up. This looks like high-level exhibition play to me.
Same deal with Bust Sogetsu, the mid-air shield tactics were hot, but Slash Sogetsu would have murdered Slash Haohmaru outright. I'm beginning to think that there was a list of rules a mile long to make sure that the tournament was not broken.
ie no completing 14-hit combos
no true infinites
no picking slash water or either version of hanzo and galford
You gotta be my long lost brother or something.. I play exactly as you just stated with a black bust Ukyo around here.
Ukyo is the coolest fucking character in the whole series, and I honestly think that biased comment holds much ground!
Yeah, I played a good sogetsu player, and it was fun as hell. He knew most of the trap set ups from the get go, so I played a way people who do that dont expect. dash out of it. As dumb as that sounds it actually works against corner work.
I was using Kibagami Genjuro when that went down, and he brought out tam tam.
Most people like the 14 hits cause you can link to infinite (on the geocities kof cyberfanatics old site for example)
Haohmaru's 14 hit cancel infinite is very easy to do, and its a screw job, as unlike early deadly raves you can go way ahead of time with the 14 hits. (rbs)
I like Ukyo dash back qcf a, while its not that useful because most people are smart enough not to rush into a ukyo user. Probably the most useful escape in the game, much like iori's back back +b.
edit - c doesnt work in that escape ....
