LordKnight also did a video about this combo, he's a BBHood player himself so it's worth checking out for his thoughts as well! th-cam.com/video/msiMcZwTNTA/w-d-xo.html
If you think that this combo is hard then try using Shulk in Smash Bros Ultimate. The Monado Cyclone technique is hard. I have some ideas on some more advanced combos but they will require me to practice even more just to pull them off. I can already inflict severe damage and kill an opponent at about 50-57%. I am currently trying to learn how to tech and use the MALLC technique at the same time. When mastered this will allow me to reverse a situation almost instantly. I need to get more practice in however. Someday the player name Sheru will be commonly known among the players but that is still a few years away. I am going to get stronger. You have impressed me a lot throughout your videos. Your a strong player in multiple games. Meanwhile my friends refuse to play against me due to how hard I am to beat. Now I am getting my practice off of facing multiple opponents alone now.
Surprising/fun fact(s): The name Sako might be taken from a Finnish gun manufacturer known to make rifles of various kinds and is a subsidiary of the Italian gun manufacturer Beretta Holdings in which BB Hood's Japanese name Bulleta sounds like when spoken in Japanese. This could fit BB Hood's gun motif quite well as well as been hailing from Northern Europe in which Finland is located in don't you think so?
The real reason this infinite is basically impossible is that 1 frame links are inherently inconsistent in VSAV and many other capcom fighters of the era. Turbo speed makes the game skip frames, and if one of those frames happens to be the frame your 1 frame link needs to occur on, the link will be literally impossible.
damn guess the devs reqlly didnt see it coming. ngl when it comes to fg devs ive always thought they come up with some kinda sandbox with some "rules" and let the players play and see what kinda crazy shit they come up with
One thing that jmcrofts forgot to mention is that Vampire Savior is mostly played on Turbo 3 setting which skips every 4th frame to make the game play faster. That essentially means that sometimes sometimes it drops the frame on which you're trying to hit. To put simply, 25% of the time, your 2 frame links turn into 1 frame links. And 25% of the time your 1 frame links simply don't exist cause they get dropped.
@Synthetic Maniac no, what I mean is that sometimes you just can't hit the link cause the frame you are ttying to hit simply seizes to exist 25% of the time
If I had a nickel for every time a difficult, damaging fighting game combo with a lot of links had the name "Sako" in it, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Its still mindboggling how Sako still plays competitively to this day! To think that years of playing some crazy execution maniac would atleast take a toll on his hands but he would still be completely do well in tourneys
You should try the infamous Takuma combo from kof ‘98 where you cancel a normal into f.LP and then cancel that into his charge move. It’s way harder than it sounds.
@@Eli-akad well I think he seems really good with his community also, though I don’t get involved with twitch or those discord things, you can tell he genuinely cares and puts effort in with his community. Been watching him on and off since dragon ball came out, and literally since day one of me watching him, he has never been unhappy, moaned about anything or be negative. I mean I watch a lot of negative people sometimes so when you see someone positive so much it’s good change.
To the 'next game after SF VI' question, Capcom and SNK both have recent trademark filings related to "Street Fighter vs King of Fighters". So that's a possibility (and an awesome one considering how good CvS and SvC: Chaos were)
I might be wrong, but I think the infamous Sako combo is dash jab dash jab, which is actually a 1 frame link as long as the frame doesn't randomly drop. When the latest capcom collection was released, sako was practicing both combos on stream and could link the dash MP pretty consistently, but the dash jab dash jab he could only do a few (which is still insane, ive practiced that for hours and only landed it once ilu sako)
Nowadays they get patched out, and honestly I'm OK with that for the most part. Now, if everyone had crazy touch-of-death bullshit I wouldn't mind a few infinites kicking around, but most games are balanced around more than one or two touches. Also the way they patched out the Danfinite is still a work of genius and perfect for the character.
You don’t have to work that hard for infinites, you could literally do jumping combos and paint the opponent in infinite low jumps. My favorite is Morrigan cause you can extend astral illusion with the length of combos she can perform. Her basic drill kick can start it, lp, mp, mk can start it, basically you need to counter or tech block to cut it out. You finish the combo by just doing low jab. More jabs. More jabs. Quick tap up do air lp,mp,mk…repeat the jabs when you land. My record was 64 hits with a shadowblade super special so you can ground chase the opponent. Typically is 80% health and you have 3 bars. Game is my favorite type of broken😅
To try and level the playing field between pro players and the casual audience and to make games more marketable to larger audiences. While I do understand why this is a thing, it’s gotten to a point where people get mad at skilled players in a lot of genres
hey jm, if you could fantasy build your own roster wishlist of a potential Marvel vs Capcom 4 of up to at least 40 characters, with no political shenanigans like the XMen do not exist lol, who would you want added in?
I’m pretty sure we just got a partial education on why Sako rules. Giving a full biography on Sako’s fighting game legacy is probably beyond the scope of a video about a specific combo.
Yo can we take pictures wearing your shirts to show our support and post said pictures for your fans to show us your appreciation back? That would be dope 👏🏼
Your inconsistency doesn’t make the thing your trying to do inconsistent. *the combo* is inconsistent because of frame skip, *the player* is inconsistent on their own shortcomings that do not mean anything about the consistency of the combo
Bro i love your content, i have watched you for years. But i'd never wear a T-shirt with your mascot face, please get on fiver and pay someone to make you proper FGC related design.

you straight up copy pasted his video idea but at least you are honest about it.
Do you play it on the PC or the PlayStation?

damn

well with the lag inherit to online play I imagine it's even more impossible then normal hehe
Also tha lack of an input buffer in this game.
mr crofts should make a video on this
Even when jm isn't on a greenscreen, he still looks like he's on one
bruh, why you gotta do it to him?
His bald head breaks up his silhouette like a giraffes’ spots
Spoiler. There's actually a green screen.

The most amazing thing is Sako had to grind this in the arcade with no training mode

There is an amazing video of Sako’s hand motions as he does the combo, it’s so mesmerizing.
Yo Ultima hello! Funnily enough this is the first time I have seen you in a BB related video

Same player who made the combo lol
One of my best memories was getting Sako Looped by Sako himself :)
BB Hood's grab animation is so cold blooded, I love it. One of my favorite things to do in Marvel 2.
It’s weird to see crofts in an office/house. I like to imagine him gaming in an ethereal void.
Its still mindboggling how Sako still plays competitively to this day! To think that years of playing some crazy execution maniac would atleast take a toll on his hands but he would still be completely do well in tourneys
Sako is my reason why I still continue to play fighting games, him having a BB Hood just elevates my will further
Ive never played any fighting game yet here i am learning about their deep mechanics. Love it!!
9:23 Dood was dead wrong with that one
Always brings a smile to see your vids

I’d love to see this covered!
I think most people have forgotten how that old man is just danger
9:24 well well well... it just got announced!
It's so cool to see something new for one of my favorite characters, that set was really hype!
that victor big boot animation really made me want to buy this game. Really amazing look stuff for how old it is!
this is one of the main reasons why for me personally sako is the goat. dude was on another level for a long time
naw yall know what would be my dream 1,000,000 chance game. Capcom Vs. Shonen jump. that'd be the biggest blowout to exist in fighting game history
BB Hood one of my favorite fg characters of all time. Such a dope character...
Have the same feeling, but whoever came up with the idea of her design must be a bit psycho 😂
The gat comin out the picnic basket is OD. I remember first time I saw it like damn this bitch gangsta 😂
I was so shocked seeing you in a room i thought it was one of those pre-made backgrounds for a second
Congrats on dropping merch dude , was wondering when that was going to happen cuz you made a good name for yourself here.
Congrats on the merch, JM, the tank top looks great! Love your content, keep it up!
Such a nice guy jm, don’t ever change. Your content is always so fun and positive. always good vibes
I was just thinking about what it is about this guys videos that’s appealing, and I believe u hit the nail ona head. It’s the positive vibe💯

Impressive combo!
When you said "render advantage" I thought there was going to be some cursed shit about making the game render slower or something.
JM out here doing his thang.
I knew JM was a good dude. 7:00
Morrison getting hit by B.B. Hood be like:
“WOAH…..this feels a lot like hell” *idubzzz accent
Digging the scanlines
I was watching the dog the entire time. I love this game

You mix in repeated dash jabs to fix spacing if the combo is pushing you back too far
@@jmcrofts No I mean cr jab, st jab, dash jab dash jab, repeat
People, stop asking about a new 3d release of darkstalkers! IT ALREADY HAPPENED!
Its called KILLER INSTINCT
we need a day in the life of jmcrofts
The tank looks fire!
Man I used to play Bulleta, always felt like she could do something like this.
This is the kind of sauce thats been missing since SFV.
I love how no matter how hard devs try to balance fighting games there are always top tier players who figure out infinites!
Nowadays they get patched out, and honestly I'm OK with that for the most part. Now, if everyone had crazy touch-of-death bullshit I wouldn't mind a few infinites kicking around, but most games are balanced around more than one or two touches.

someone ping Desk/Biffotasty, he'll know what to do .
hey i don´t think the merch link is linking correctly, its just redirecting me to your youtube page
thank you, fixed
we stan JMHumidifier
WTF... anyways let's see this infinite combo
I'd like to see someone with a Hitbox practice this, sounds like it's a lot easier on it than Stick.
BBhood is kinda pleasant to listen to
Came back to correct u about the mvc collection >:]
Yo Mr Crofts you're looking really good nowadays
ah so thats why i could never finish the fucking sako combo trial from Darkstalkers Resurrection
Just in time for our community tournament we doing for VS :)
Modern games are made to totally disregard the absolute skill and mastery from legends like Sako

Better players still win in easier games.

Nightcrawler
Fucking love my girl BB Hood
i didn't know B.B Hood was a grappler
Could you do one on jojo htft combos? Those kinda follow the similar structure of these, so I just think it’d be dope
try the DeeJay walk up ultra in sf4.... that was the worst for me lol. finally got it
Merch, nice.
How you going to teach us an infinite without LIGHT PUNCH, MEDIUM PUNCH?
UP FUCKIN' HEAVY KICK
Oh so basically shadow dio infinite from HFtF but actually hard
i'm not even gonna try that.
if i cant succeed with magneto or storm in mvc2 i have no chance of doing this particular combo
The combo hes actually doing is 665B 2A 5A 665B 66A 2A 5A 665B 2A 5A...
His Ibuki was the Ibuki
Yeah
You said this might be easier to do on a hit box. Doesn't dark stalkers 3 have the 3 button dash like marvel versus capcom?
Nope you have to double tap forward
This man jm was glowing in that tank
danm this combo its dope
How can you look so edited when you're not using an green screen?
true gamers are an indoor ppl and lack the touch of sunlight...
Missed opportunity to educate the kids about who Sako is and why he's a legend.
I’m pretty sure we just got a partial education on why Sako rules. Giving a full biography on Sako’s fighting game legacy is probably beyond the scope of a video about a specific combo.

I thought this was going to be you finally doing the evil Ryu sako combo 😑
Holy shiet you looking good, have you lost weight?
Melee players are laughing at this combo
SHIT IM LATE LOVE YOU JM
So it’s not technically frame perfect, but close enough yikes
That background is definitely green screen, you can’t tell me otherwise. The merch is photoshopped.
how the fuck do you not have a hitbox? genuinely shocking lol
Dark Stalkers....😴
that was cheap AF
