Haha, that blanka juggle was awesome. I may not be very experienced with this game, but At 4:04 juggled blanka with a mid combo super.
Sick stuff.
To be honest, that juggle combo against Blanka is kind of standard. It’s been in a whole bunch of combovids going back ten years, and there’s even a secret way to improve it to four hits. But that’s the trouble with this TAS format – there’s a lot of time/opponents to kill, so TASers often end up rehashing old combos.
For me, the best part of watching fighting game TASes usually ends up being the (sometimes) clever AI manipulation and maybe a few new combos here and there. Although usually the main reason those combos are new is because they got left out of combovids for being sub-optimal. But that doesn’t make them any less fun to watch. Optimization can be overrated.
