SF4 Combo Video Timeline

[Maj]

This thing has gotten way out of date. At this point i think there are faaar too many junk vids on u2b to bother listing absolutely everything, so just post whatever you happen to see that's halfway interesting. Make sure to include as much info as possible (title, author, etc) so it's easier for people to search for duplicates before sharing something. And so we know what you were noting in case the vid gets deleted.

06.18.2009 - Street Fighter 4 Seth Combo Exhibition Video by MoniraKing
--- All ghettoness aside, this video contains tons of interesting things. Tons!

07.01.2009 - Ryu & Guile combos by seekerjet
--- All the Ryu stuff is standard but the Guile clip scared me for a second. I thought he was gonna combo ultra after the Flash Kick FADC. Too bad nothing in that plan works. I even checked the frame data and c.LP doesn't link into s.HP.

10.22.2009 - ♥Viper♥ by Kadeybaybe
10.22.2009 - ♥Sagat♥ by Kadeybaybe
--- First combo obviously uses too much meter and i don't know much about C.Viper but i've never seen anyone do ultra after juggling that EX flamekick. Maybe there's potential for a meterless combo that builds up a high juggle count and then ends with a super. Sagat combo just looks cool.

07.12.2009 - Street Fighter 4: Ken Combo Video by TheMuffinMan
08.18.2009 - Street Fighter 4: Bison Combo Video by TheMuffinMan
10.22.2009 - Street Fighter 4: Sagat Combo Video by TheMuffinMan
--- Ken's far s.MP, c.MK link (1:19) and Bison's s.MK, s.LK, s.HK links (0:23) are dope. Looks like the first hit of Bison's j.MP has the same juggle setup property as the first hit of Ryu's j.MP air-to-air. Sagat's anti-air lvl2 FA xx dash forward DP FADC backward Tiger Knee is an awesome looking midscreen combo.

Street Fighter IV Various Character Combo Exhibition Video by djb13
"Inventive Flow"

Probably the best multi character SF4 CMV I've seen so far. There's another one in the works, there should be a trailer on djb13's youtube channel.

EDIT: btw close s.MK, s.LK, s.HK for Bison is too awesome.

Some of the stuff in this guy's vids is really creative. Fair warning - it was recorded on a cell phone:

10.10.2009 - Doopliss SF4 Odd Combo Video | (continuation) by DaDoppen
--- Right at the beginning, he manages to get Guile's ultra to hit twice then whiff the last part completely. All three of his Seth combos are fucking dope! His Chun combo and his first Abel combo are pretty sweet too.

Also he discovered the post-KO grab trick which i used in my GieFuerte TACV and recorded it with two characters:

05.15.2009 - Zangief: Jab (KO) SPD by DaDoppen
07.18.2009 - Akuma: LK (KO) Ultra by DaDoppen

edit: Forgot to add dates.

[error1]

I've seen that guile thing happen when used as an anti air vs a crossup.
looks like there is a new trend of cellphone combo videos.

10.10.2009 - Doopliss SF4 Odd Combo Video | (continuation) by DaDoppen

Aw, man he used some stuff I figured nobody would care about - yeah if you corner someone and do guile's super to ultra, the last kick will whiff, depending on how many times the super hit, and dummy placement.

and he used gen's crane cr. lk, cr. lk xx HK super. Frankly, the crouching lk to super is actually a decent trick as it's a nice long hit confirm that starts low, but i don't know gen well enough to confirm if you ever use his super.

you can also change styles and do his dash super. In the corner, you can also get his anti-air Ultra to connect after a cr. lk. there's a whole shitload of fun stuff after the cr. lk, it's just a fun launcher that should be explored in combo vids...I just found the dumbest two hit combo: crane-style cr. lk, mantis-style hands. the hands just knock you away after one hit. then there's crane cr. lk, mantis upkicks. (is there an easier notation for gen's style changes?) I don't know if it's possible to do his crane cr. lk launcher into his mantis Ultra...I can't get it to work for shit.

but yeah. words.

[error1]

crane cr. lk launcher into his mantis Ultra...I can't get it to work for shit.

works in the corner. Gen has some crazy launchers c. lk, dive kick, and mantis super all are good launchers. He also has some of the longest combos I've seen in competitive play.

08.13.2009 - SF4 El Fuerte Advanced Combos and Tricks by BRAiNZ
09.22.2009 - SF4 El Fuerte - Run Stop c.MK loop by BRAiNZ
10.13.2009 - SF4 El Fuerte Advanced Combos and Tricks part 2 by BRAiNZ
--- Everything you need to know about El Fuerte, all in one convenient place. All kinds of crazy links and stuff. In the first video, he gets 10 reps of RSF against Ryu - which is more than i was able to get with a program pad.

11.12.2009 - FlowChart! by Pokey aka petey86
--- First of all, excellent use of background music - very entertaining. Second, i like the Sagat combo at 3:00 cuz he does three fireballs. Kinda makes me wonder what the max is. The final combo of the video features Dan dizzying Seth with a throw. Pretty dang awesome. I don't think it starts from 0 stun but it's still cool.

Not sure about the exact date for this one because apparently it's an older video that wasn't uploaded until now.

[error1]

you've seen my Sagat combo with 4 ts, I think you could probably get a fifth if you get way ahead of a fireball with rose, trade a jab with a tiger shot, have the fireball behind you trade with another, and get the other three by fadcing.

[onReload]

That guy has pretty awesome Fuerte skills. I'd like to see him in action

06.18.2009 - Street Fighter 4 Seth Combo Exhibition Video by MoniraKing
--- All ghettoness aside, this video contains tons of interesting things. Tons!

I saw this video a long time ago, Monira did some stuff that I was gonna do, but not all of it. He is a beast with Seth though, I didn't have a chance XD He was also the first swede to get all the achievements in SF4, the second one being me.

I care about that wich no one else cares about XD

My favourite c.LK combo with Gen is crane c.LK xx jyasen xx crane super, looks so stylish XD

@Maj

I made Flowchart in July, i'm currently making another combo video

[Maj]

06.09.2009 - Rufus: Character Specific Combo Exhibition by F1xxxy
--- Some very cool stuff in this video, especially the DF+MK divekick to LP Snake Strike combo against Sagat and HP Galactic Tornado going through three Akuma fireballs at 0:28

12.09.2009 - Viper combo 1 by Alcheymyst and OtogiMatsuri
12.09.2009 - Viper combo 2 by OtogiMatsuri and Alcheymyst
--- First one's standard but the second one is pretty dope. Too bad it costs full meter but maybe there's enough time to rebuild a bar after it dizzies.

Yeah as soon as I saw OtogiMatsuri comment on your recent vid I checked his channel out and thought the 2nd Viper one was awesome...and I love rufus, but only when he's doing snake strike, so those are some pretty cool combos.

[Dark_Chaotix]

Whatever happened to kadeybaybe?? DOes she still make combos?? Yay!

[Maj]

He showed me that clip on GameFAQs of all places. It led to that Viper combo i did on Rufus so i figured i'd credit him and his friend since i couldn't find anything else interesting on u2b.

01.20.2010 - Gen Glitch: Parry (focus kara into stance change) by Yeb
--- Already posted in another thread but it's kind of a big deal so it belongs here too.

01.22.2009 - Street Fighter IV Various Character Combo Exhibition Video 2 by Dj-B13
--- Lifebars!!! It's cool how he held Focus for a while at 0:53 before dashing with Sagat. Ryu combo at 1:49 is dope cuz that second hit of j.MP is not easy to land. Cool transition at 2:29. Seth and Fei Long combos were all great and so was the second Abel combo. Great video overall but a little underwhelming because he kinda overdid the trailers. It felt like i'd seen previews of every combo already and it didn't help that most were shown twice. Only bad combo is the first Viper one at 2:55 cuz it's not a full stun combo and it could have been.

[error1]

I don't like it when combos start when the opponent has less then full health. I thought Seths head stomp to j.mp was clever tho. I didn't like that transition at 2:29 beacuse rose looses like 70% of her health during that transition so if your not paying attention you might think that it's a 100% combo, and doing that when the opponent is not on screen and not showing how many hits it is at the end makes it shady, so it's a good thing that was such a simple combo.

[Maj]

Yeah that part does kinda suck but it's not so bad in context because he never bothers waiting until the combo counter shows up throughout the rest of the video either. It's still better than turning off the GUI because at least you can tell it's a combo from the fact that the combo counter doesn't show up in the middle (assuming the first two or three hits are comboing).

Anyway i just thought it was crazy how smooth that transition looked because if you watch the lifebars, it's basically a straight cut. He's not even crossfading. I think it's cuz the background colors match up so well, especially with the grey dust on both stages.

[Doopliss]

Didn't know that Abel could do c.HP xx LK roll -> LP CoD xx FADC -> Ultra. And I like the Juggle TK FADC Ultra.

Yeah, that delayed Dash is necessary for the Combo to work, actually. You basically cancel into the Focus and do the QCF x 2 motion, which causes you to dash, and if times right, you dash under Ryu. Dashing too early won't let you get under.

I also gotta say, I don't really approve of his use of the combos in the "intro" clips, because sometimes it makes me feel like I am watching the same thing twice. Probably should have used something else in those intro clips, especially for characters with one Combo.

[onReload]

Yeah i'm sure he could have used the 1 or 2 bs combos that every character has that are just fun to look at, or a PA or something. when it was just guile's one combo, i was like uh...did i see this already?

[CPS2]

New Japanese SF4 combo vid

edit: shit I just realised this is desk's channel

edit2: btw OnReload, I can't post links in the youtube comments, but I found that Sagat combo a while back...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QOkeEoHJ9w

It's just something that happens on Rose if you juggle into ultra.
Before I disabled comments, that video honestly had the dumbest u2b comments you've ever seen.
Stuff like "why not just do super into ultra, it works on everyone" and "waste of meter, not useful at all."

[Smileymike101]

Maj, why dont you update the first post?

[Maj]

You mean remove the 4:3 question? I dunno, doesn't seem to be that big a deal.

[Smileymike101]

No i mean putting the videos more recent than 28.02.2008 that are posted here in the first post for easier access.

[Maj]

Oh, nah, the whole thread is the timeline. Anyone can contribute to it. There's no way i'd be able to keep it updated anyway. There's too much random stuff posted on u2b and it's literally impossible to find it all because there's no SF4 category. (Even if there was, people would post their vids elsewhere).

If you want to bring it up to date, that would definitely be appreciated. But i'd basically given up on this thread. It was a nice way to keep track of stuff early on but that's about it.

Or if you want, you can start one for SSF4 and update it however you prefer.

[Smileymike101]

Okay, done.Oh, also, to add to the timeline.
02.07.2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9DUMRWzPrE -part 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL9VjhO4zsA -part 2 -Smileymike101's combo vid

I love this guy.He is my hero.

Also a thing that amuses me.The Dan response to fireworks has 1500 views, and it took me like 5 minutes to record and upload, whereas the part 2 of my combo vid, which contains the SAME combo but is like 8 minutes long and obviously took a lot more than 5 minutes(more like 2 months lol) has only like 1350, which is less than a single 9 second combo thats almost directly cut from it.I don't care that much about views, knowing i have a combo vid to show my friends and say, yup, thats me,
and the views from the Dan vid are also mine, so i'm not complaining, just a funny little thing to note.

[Maj]

View count on u2b has absolutely nothing to do with production effort or quality. The only thing quality determines is whether or not your viewers will remember your video after they've watched it. Key word is after.

[Smileymike101]

Yeah I know just that is funny how a 9 second video posted as a response to a person with a fanbase has more than a 8 minute non-response video.

[Maj]

My "fanbase" is somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 subscribers. The video you responded to has 31,000 views. Where did the other 29,000 come from?
