Question for '97 Ryo players

Have you ever been able to empty-cancel from his 4-hit juggle into a Tenchi Haohken, or did my system just glitch that one time? It's something I have simply never been able to repeat.

???

Never heard about it from anybody. Nope guy! if u succeed in doing so do post it. He is my fav character.

no, the only cancel i know for 97 is yamazaki's and kim's. although i vaguely remember it.

Oh there's lots of crazy cancelling to be done in that game. Take Robert for instance, where his 4-hit juggle can be empty-cancelled into a Ryuuko Ranbu. But that one with Ryo..... perhaps I suck, perhaps not, yet I simply couldn't ever repeat it.

Did you get a Critical Hit?

I think I know what you're talking about, Neo Bomber Man, especially when you compared the Ryo situation with Robert's sort of buggy combo, where he does his thing with the kick dance, then a light sweep buffered into his rushing DM. However, I don't think it's that sort of case, although of course I don't know exactly what you did and how you did it with Ryo.

I want to push forward an idea that may help jog your memory. Did you, by any chance, get a Critical Hit during Ryo's 4-hit juggle move? Since Critical Hits are based randomly (for example, Shingo's flying kick has a higher percentage of getting them, but it's never a sure thing,) could that be why you pulled off that combo once but couldn't repeat it? Critical Hits do give you more time to do some sort of follow-up move, so this is the most likely reason for that one-time combo that I could think of.

Re: Did you get a Critical Hit?

I'm fairly certain I didn't as I believe I was playing 2-P versus play on my own, ie. the old form of training mode.

I cancelled a standing A into his 4-hit juggle+A, and quite purely by accident -as I was trying to do something else- wound up hitting Shingo with a Tenchi Haohken, which blasted him right across the screen much to my surprise.

Perhaps it's possible CRITICAL HIT came on screen and I missed it, though it was back in 2000 now and really I can't say. I can say though that I don't recall ever having scored a CH for that move.

Thanks for the reply though.

Browsing through some old threads I found this again.

Well for anyone who cares there is/was a video at Akuma Combos that clearly shows what I described above as possible, without a critical hit, so it's all a matter of timing. Back to the dojo for me..
