Versus Casuals 092011

On the Tuesday after SBO, Versus had the usual team battle. Earlier that evening Nuki and Muteki were playing a long set and we snuck in when Mute went to get change. I recorded all of Damdai's matches.

I have a bunch more footage I'd like to post plus maybe talk briefly about some players we met and trickery we learned. Please check back in a bit. Also: buy a shirt!

    The sako tick into grabbing spinning bird also works on the shotos. Hawk can also cleanly dragon punch chun's super from any distance so no need to block. Jumping down+strong into 360 in the corner stuffs upkicks and will land behind chun's super and grab her out of it. And from a few steps away you can just mash crouching jab against chun and stuff her super without hard timing.

    Why do people call it the Sako tick? Guy came up with a lot of stuff over the years most famously for Bulleta and Eddie but he didn't pioneer any Hawk tactics.

    Sako was the person who made the tick famous in a long battle against, of all people, Nuki playing Chun. The Japanese Hawk players on ggpo were crediting Sako as well with making that setup famous. The name just stuck I guess.

    It's not like daigo was the first person to mash dragon punches from long range. But he was popular, so successful dragon punches morphed into 'ume shoryu'.
