Advanced SF4: All About Dummies

Anyone who has practiced a combo in Street Fighter IV and then tried it on Blanka can tell you, the character you’re hitting is very important. Very few of the combos in Maj’s incredible TACV’s work fully on more than one or two characters, beacuse each dummy has unique quirks.

SFA2 Gen combo vs ZangiefIn older Capcom games, a dummy’s vulnerable area consists of invisible rectangles that loosely follow the sprites displayed on the screen. Using a hitbox viewer to peek under the hood, we can see the game engine handling these combat interactions. Red boxes represent attacks and blue boxes represent vulnerable spaces.

We can see that SFA2 Zangief’s hittable boxes stay rectangular no matter what his sprite does. Even if his sprite is bending over or leaning back, it doesn’t effect the combo.

SSF4 Dudley Combo Test 8 by motoJOHNSON

Since the previous update, motoJOHNSON has uploaded two more experimental Super Street Fighter IV clips featuring Dudley – with the latest one being a tool-assisted dizzy combo against Guile. Check it out, and then don’t forget to watch the 7th one below.

notes:
Dizzying a 900-stun character is no easy task, especially without a counterhit to begin the combo. Guile isn’t the most cooperative combo dummy either, but somehow motoJOHNSON found a way.

Need another reason to attend Evo 2011 this summer?

It is my pleasure to introduce Balrog: Behind the Glory – an independent short film presented by an awesome, creative, dedicated group of Street Fighter fans! It will premiere on July 31st at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, on the Evo Championship Series grand stage.

The screenplay was written by Brett D. Bayonne, produced by Greg Gertmenian, and directed by Vahe Gabuchian – with cinematography by Tigran Tovmasyan, costume design by Hunter Wells, and makeup by Sarah Dorsey.

SSF4 Juri Combo Video by MetallicMike

This video is actually a couple of weeks old, but i didn’t get a chance to post it when it was initially released. Juri’s first ultra is essentially a Custom Combo activation, which instantly makes her combo flowchart quite a bit more complicated than most others in the game. It’s not surprising that people are still figuring her out, and finding new and interesting things about her.

highlights:
SSF4 Juri corner exit juggle at 0:12, Juri midscreen EX pinwheel juggle at 0:25, Juri midscreen beatdown at 2:02, Juri 23-hit super combo at 2:38, and Juri 700 Class solution at 3:19
