Japanese Vidness

Been pokin' around lately for some good examples of current low-tier goin on in JP and theres one really good example in the batch of vids by way of Joo up on Preppy's site. It's "20080101-03_iida_vs_nobuyuki". These guys know what low-tier is about-- they just are having a blast.

1st matchup is a mirror Sim/Collosus/Iceman. Dhalsim's playing like its ST locking down with classic ground. Overall a really functional team. One trend I've definitely picked up on is that certain players will adjust their high-tier playstyle with a character to something thats closer to low-tier. Here Sim runs away about 5 seconds at the end but he's already established dominance. I've also seen dudes run Magnus on Capture assist and other tops taking a back seat, so its cool to see Low-tier as a state of mind rather than you know, ima take all your money.

2nd match is Sim/Colossus/Iceman vs. Colossus/Shuma/Guile. Oh and Shuma is invisible. Lol. Non stop giggle-fest with these guys.

3 is SilSam/BBHood/Doom (pink stuff) vs. Sim/ORed/Anak. Doom pink recall is too fast. But Sim is lookin more and more acceptable in low marvel.

4 is SilSam/BBHood/Doom vs. Spidey/Sabertooth/ORed.


Another good vid is "Sunahebi_vs_Nobuyuki".

1st: Hulk/CapAm/Colossus vs. Guile/Colossus/Charlie. Good ground +Frame work. Dash feints and trickery abound.

2nd: WarMach/Ruby/BBHood vs. WM/Akuma/Iceman. They're just playing around with calling assists in the air while filling the screen with bombs and missiles. BBHood solo lookin good with lots of charge time management.

3rd: Thanos/Doom/Hulk vs. Guile/Jugg/Iceman. Thanos/Hulk has moves. I wanna see bubble assist though.

4th: Venom/Spidey/Marrow vs. Sim/ORed/Anak. Sitting just outside range and whiffing a high priority hit is a legit low-tier tactic.

5th: Morrigan/Jill/Ruby vs. Colossus/SilSam/Guile. Ruby blue wave xx switch is rad.
