SSF4 Super Freeze Replay Channel by Snoooootch

Posted on February 6, 2011 by Maj

Snoooootch has completed his full-length Super Street Fighter IV superfreeze project, and split it into five segments (plus a “Creditual” segment) – all accessible through this menu video.

notes:
Every single character in the game is featured in at least one superfreeze segment, starting with an introductory combo and rewinding to the highlighted move. It’s a very smooth concept all around, and the amount of time required to amass all this footage is crazy!

Five Questions with Justin “JWong” Wong

Posted on February 2, 2011 by Maj

Easily one of the most recognizable names in fighting game history, Justin “JWong” Wong has been winning major tournaments every year since claiming the MvC2 championship at B5 in 2001. He has been successful in nearly every game from SF3:3S, to CvS2, to SSF2T, to Tekken 6, to SF4 and SSF4 – even appearing in season two of Ultimate Gamer on TV!

 
Maj: Your MvC2 dominance was the initial reason you showed up on everyone’s radar. Later on you picked up 3S and SF4, and quickly started winning tournaments in those games too. How did your ground game become so strong without going through the traditional route of SF2 and SFA series?

JWong enters the stage at Evo2k7JWong: Well I was always known for MVC2, but that wasn’t my first fighting game. The first fighting games I took seriously were MVC1 and Street Fighter 3: 2nd Impact.

The competition in New York back in the day was very fierce and I learned from watching them. I was always a combo Chinese kid but then I realized there was more than just having good execution.

I learned from Eddie Lee, Henry Cen, John Gordon, Norman Burges and many more about Street Fighter fundamentals. And my ground game naturally got stronger from traveling to tournaments and actually playing all different types of players and learning different type of styles.

SSF4 True Standing 720 Exhibition and Tutorial by desk

Posted on February 1, 2011 by Maj

It seems desk has found a consistent way to perform standing 720 supers and ultras in Super Street Fighter IV, and he’s made this tutorial to share his findings. It’s great info for grappler players, and pretty much terrifying for everyone else.

notes:
This might require quite a bit of practice for most players, but the rewards certainly seem worthwhile. All of the examples are very easy to understand, very practical, and very useful. He uses a much looser definition of “plinking” than the term’s actual meaning, but it shouldn’t be too confusing if you don’t focus on it.
