FIGHTING EDGE x sako – Team HORI’s Star Player’s Combo Exercise with Ibuki and Cammy

FIGHTING EDGE x sako – Team HORI’s Star Player’s Combo Exercise with Ibuki and Cammy
USD by on September 4th, 2012 at 10:14 am

From Vampire Savior to Street Fighter IV, Team HORI’s sako has made a name for himself with his highly technical execution and specialized combos. In the two-part series “FIGHTING EDGE x sako,” the pro gamer demonstrates several character- and corner-specific combos with Ibuki and Cammy in Capcom’s Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, including an Abel-specific combo for Ibuki and a Ryu-specific combo for Cammy. Together with HORI staff member “A”, sako explores each combo with brief explanations of execution and practical uses.  The videos also include input display, basic combo notation, as well as camera shot of sako’s hands, allowing viewers to see how each combo is performed.

The videos not only show off sako’s amazing execution, but some of the unique functions of HORI’s Fighting Edge as well. Using the arcade stick’s hardware-side button assignment feature, sako assigns the function of the Back button to the LB face button on the stick. This allows for a special plinking the LP attack, something normally not possible with the standard face buttons.

Be sure to check out these “sako specials” and more in the videos below!

    So he actually uses the “LT” button for the 3 punches… interesting.

      to me it looks like his all 3 punches button is hooked up to the back button in the ibuki vid. I’m sure of it.

      I think he only used because this is a “feature” of that stick. It’s for marketing. I’d be surprised if he actually uses that normally.
      Biggest clue: arcades.

      • Paul D’Elia

        Actually he DOES use that feature normally.  Sako plays on consoles a lot, and had a modified stick that wired the back button to a face button like this.

          The world before me is crumbling.. the only force pushing me forward, even when i felt i’d give up, was sako.
          You’re telling me it was nothing more than a lie?

          • Johnson Nguyen

             Yeah, it’s been known for quite a while (a year perhaps) that he has his Select and 3P buttons re-wired.

      He doesnt. His 3 punch button is hooked up to his “Back” button. That way he can use what we call “B-link” instead of “P-link”.
      Why ? Cause you cant Plink light punches. LP after lk tsumuji being a 1frame link, using blink can significantly improve the success rate of this combo.
      Many high level ibuki uses this. In the inputs, it just looks like they double tap the LP button.

       I believe you meant 3 kicks, her ultra 2 is 3 kicks. And yes he does seem to use the button for it, but its the most efficient way really. The punch one more then likely is used for P linking as many said while keeping the kick one for ultra 2.

    defiently cool- just wish I spoke japanese so I could hear what he has to say

    • GeForceFX

      Even though my japanese is terrible, he mostly comments on what he is doing.. as in what’s written in the command list.

  • BUYACUSHUN

    does anyone know of video or can explain how to properly do those fake jump cancels. I’ve only tried playing ibuki in SFxT and two of her trials has that technique and i got no clue how to execute it. (The computer sure does though lol)

    • Garrett Jones

       Look around you. You’re on SRK.

    • GeForceFX
