In a surprise twist, izumojin’s newest combovid takes place entirely on two bonus stages from the SNES version of Super Street Fighter II. The obstacles at the center of each stage prevent characters from drifting apart, enabling crazy long link combos without pushback limitations.
highlights:
SSF2 Balrog far attack links at 0:14, Chun Li jump attack craziness at 0:28, Dee Jay indirectly induced j.HP at 0:46, Fei Long rekka drop cancels at 1:19, and Vega reverse pushback at 1:48

I don’t understand what’s going on with Vega at the end. Why are his attacks mysteriously pulling opponents toward him?
I asked him about Vega’s combos on u2b and this was his response via PM:
“I am not good at English, is described in Japanese.
(私は英語が得意ではないので、解説は日本語で行います)
逆プッシュを引き起こすためには、攻撃が当たる前にレバーを後方に入れておく必要があります。
ただし、ジャンプ攻撃で逆プッシュを引き起こすことはできません。”
According to @nifty he’s saying that you have to tap Back before the attack connects to cause the reverse-push. And that it doesn’t work with jump attacks.
But why does it only work with Vega? I carefully rewartched every hit in the video and none of the other characters cause that same effect while facing the opponent.
Internet translation is somewhat weird but @nifty did it right this time.
I love his works. Always excited to see a new vid.
The hit sounds of the first 10seconds seems to be matching with the music?
Wow, i think you’re right – those hits seem to match almost perfectly. That would explain the first two clips, because otherwise they don’t seem to have a purpose.
Anyway i totally agree, everything this guy does is great. Can’t wait to see which game he plans to explore next.
More info:
“私の説明に間違いがあったので訂正します。
ジャンプした直後にレバーを後方に入力することで、ジャンプ中の攻撃でも逆プッシュを引き起こすことができます。
A mistake matched my explanation, so it’s corrected.
Just after jumping, it’s also possible to be to input a lever to the back and cause a reverse push by the attack I’m jumping.”

“Balrogだけ?
あなたは理由を知っていますか?
Only Vega?
Do you know why?”
—————
“おそらくBalrogのみだと思います。
理由はわかりません。
SFC版のSF2 Turboでも同じ現象が起こります。
I think it’s probably only Balrog.
A reason isn’t understood.
The same phenomenon also occurs in SF2 Turbo in SFC version.”
