    • @tcchip
      @tcchip 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +56

      Yeah, execution-wise Viper is absolutely brutal despite only having 3 specials. Her entire game plan depends on you being able to do frame perfect feints every time. No matter how good you are in practice, you're most likely to drop it in an actual match when it matters most.

    Solid topic for this video. I'm so glad it was about Latif. His viper was so amazing, I bought the Broken Tier Latif shirt they made with the red foil that year.
    There were a couple points in the video where you say he made a good read or reaction jump back punish. But I'm wondering if it was actually a safe jump setup with OS superjump back. Every time it was forward throw, dash, dash, jump forward, and I think the OS was if they block the jump he lands, but if nothing connects he super jumps. He'd still need to read the direction but those seemed like educated guesses and matchup knowledge at that point. After seeing the setup a few times throughout the video I'm 90% sure it was OS. Either way, still godlike plays, and a great video as is.

    @weentermakesgames759 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I'm not too familiar with this game, so please let me know.
    as explained on 3:08 , C viper can cancel her super jump-jumpsquat into an ultra move, for which she has only 3 frames, however, I read online that her grounded ultra move requires a double quarter circle forwards. That means the console needs to register a down, downforward, forward, down, downforward, then forward input, which in theory should mean you need at least 6 frames right (or 4 if the downforwards don't count)? Yes, obviously it is super hard to do, but the way it was explained it seems physically impossible to do in that little time, even by a TAS.

    • @PapaLobster
      @PapaLobster  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      You end up buffering the input. So while the Crouching Heavy punch is coming out and recovering, you do the double quarter circle forward, you then end the last qcf into up forward to super jump. During those 3 frames you can press all 3 punches to get ultra.
      So the timing comes from when you end in upforward and press the 3 punches within the 3 frames

    8:20 "Tokido panics and tries to teleport away but Latif reads this". Nah that was just an OS: if the meaty j.HK lands the blockstun stops the super jump to the right from coming out

    Latiff cleared all the big names from loser’s bracket and lost to Fuudo at the end. Fuudo should thank him. But I would love to see Latiff win after all his hard work despite viper being one of my most hated character in sf4.

    You got something wrong she has amazing normals and she has plenty of anti air options but they are very specific. I mained viper and once you understand her normals she's incredible. Standing medium kick can counter heavy pokes and lots of jump ins if timed correctly. Back and heavy kick is an amazing anti air. Ex seismo cancel gives you enough invincibility to make crossups wiff if you have the timing. Even standing heavy punch is a great anti air depending on the character and you can also jump cancel it to bait people into doing ultra's.
    I think I only learnt all of her uses because I played her so much and just tried to be risky and discovered how amazing her normals are.

    3:13 in smash they call that jump squat, and in melee bowser had the worst jump squat cause he took forever to get off the ground. in ultimate everyone has the same jump squat time

    I really love this play style. I'm more of a defense, movement, poking type of player. For me combos are the least important. I like to bait my opponents and whiff punish. Baiken and A.B.A are favorites of mine because they're more defensive oriented.

    Ibuki had the SJC too and was a big thing that made her even more fun. Very rare usage, but some stuff had use.
    Never was good with Vipers SJC and fakes. Ibuki was much easier even with 1f timing on some and the vortex with outcome of side and so on you get.

    00:12 does this imply most people can optimize other characters? Optimization is hard for even Ryu. Maybe you meant very few people can play her at a base level.

    I think Decapre is high up among the hardest characters to use in SF4, a lot of people for some reason underrate her execution, I think its because of the hate surrounding the character.

    Wait, those techniques sound almost the same as UMVC3 Dante. You can command jump to cancel a uncancelable special move and input the other special move which attacks and stops him from jumping at the same time.

    • @RST_Omega

      They're similar ideas, the only real difference is instead of getting to use buttons for the jump like with bold cancelling you have to do the marvel super jump input

    dps are easier for me than qcf motions. I don't think i've dropped one in years. I also find the hold pretzal input (like guile) easier than hcf hcf. Some people just click with different inputs.
