Ken I’s Street Fighter 4 Video Blog #1

Note from gootecks: This is a new feature that we’re going to be working on where Ken I is going to be sharing the videos that he finds interesting. These are not your standard video blog posts that you might find elsewhere because in addition to being one of the best players in many fighting games (SF4, 3rd Strike, Guilty Gear, etc), he speaks and reads Japanese so he’s able to discover and share videos that we English-only speakers would never find.

Guile’s Options Against Vega’s Rolling Crystal Flash

01:09 - Guile's options against a HP Rolling Crystal Flash:

1) Super
2) Ultra
3) FADC backdash (vega must not have claw equipped)
*cannot punish vega

Due to the small amount of Vega players, it’s interesting to see the options against the HP Rolling Crystal Flash because a lot of people fall for FADC Walldive into Super. These options prevent and/or punish that.

Kirisuto (Rufus) vs (^__^) (Guile) {Block A} [Kanagawa Machida Cup]

00:24 - "Apologies for not showing the life bar or super meters. 
However, it is not necessary to see the point of this video"

The Guile player (^__^) also goes by the name Nico Nico Mark or Fujisawa. He’s known for getting 20 air throws every game. In this video he lands a lot against Rufus. If you watch the last 30 seconds, he shows that you can air throw rufus out of his EX messiah kick.

Fei Long Option Selects Tutorial

After a forward throw:

1. vs. Dhalsim Teleport
   Fei Long can do a jumping MP option select w/Chicken Wing if Dhalsim teleports.
2. vs. Blanka EX Up Ball
   Fei Long does a crossup MK. If Blanka does EX upball, Fei Long gets hit but can punish it with HP Rekka.
3. vs. Balrog
   Fei Long attempts a jump-in and Balrog does EX Headbutt. Fei Long can punish with option select EX Chicken Wing. However, if Balrog does EX Dash Upper, the dialogue box suggests using Rekkas to punish.
4. vs. Rufus
   Fei Long can do an ambiguous safe jump-in MP to either hit from the front or use as a crossup. Also, the last jump proves that it is a safe jump against Rufus because he is able to block wakeup EX Messiah Kick.
5. vs. Vega’s Backflip
   Personally I think this one is just a joke because as you can see, Fei Long does option select into Rekkas but goes the other way and completely misses Vega. But it’s Vega.
