Evo West Alex Wolfe vs. Alex Valle

Evolution West 2006 Alex Wolfe vs. Alex Valle. Top of losers bracket.

[@Lseelba]

That might be the best ST comeback I've ever seen. Playing keep away from Bison with one pixel of life is extremely difficult.

[@fooly9803]

wow, the final comeback was insane

[@shiken]

that dizzy recovery still baffles me to no end, incredible

[@sg-hunter]

BLANKA STAGE MUSIC IS CANDY TO MY EARS.

[@GrahamWolfe1]

ok ill explain what happened in the end for those who might not get it. Sim has the longest throw range besides zangief in this game, longest normal throw, basically alex wolfe has perfected the slide, then grab from BEYOND other characters throw range. What bison could have done had he not mashed to escape the noogie was eat a noogie and charge a scissor kick, but unfortunately it has to be reversal to escape, which is not easy to do

[@omski2k4]

wow, that ws really good, I can't believe that tick throw shyt worked so well, kudos to the comeback.

[@linkster3474]

as a pro, never give up no matter the situation

[@SolidSonicTH]

CE Bison is recognized as the highest tier character in the game. He's almost seen as a cop-out by some players because of some of the weird crap you can get away when you use him.

[@jimbo1983]

OOO AHH - OOO AHH .. fades into whispers. so good.

[@PBoDyCampaign]

OMFG waht an epic comeback!!! Wolfe!!!!!!

[@VADY2B]

that dhalsim was beast

[@turdferguson2]

@QuikFingaz He's using the CE version of Dic. HF Dic is red or gray. There are many many differences between CE and HF, too many to go into here- google it or something....one important change from CE to HF is longer charge time for Dic's double knee press in HF.

[@ShikiDan]

Good job on the win, you deserved it. You shook the dizzy off like Shin Akuma.

[@heatblazer]

Back to the elementary school to learn the Head Press with VEGA.

[@SolidSonicTH]

Which version of Vega? I don't recall seeing any version of him on the tier lists. As for Bison's dominance, I have been given a number of reasons but one of the biggest seems to be a specific combo he can trap people with that can almost guarantee a dizzy (I was told it once but I can't remember all the moves involved; it does use the Scissor Kick as you say, though).

[@Khomradeigor]

5 words: X-Men vs Street Fighter.

[@carelessmorning]

@TimeSpaceMage The article link brings you to the example of what it is talking about. Which you didn't seem to have noticed with all the other video links...

[@bloodriotiori]

ahhh, the good ol' days where flipping someone over your shoulder does more damage then hitting them with a ball of fire xD

[@nicksamuel8324]

You realize that even now, 11 years after this comment, that's still the case right? -_- "Good ol days" tf u on about

[@dudebfg0123]

Yeah he did. You can either reversal scissor kick or go for a reversal throw. The reason you didn't always see it was because you only have 1 frame to do reversals and if 2 people throw at the same time, it is completely random who actually gets it. Also Dhalsim I believe has more throw range than CE Bison, but I don't know for sure.

[@MrJ3suscrist]

@RMW527 thank you

[@shempi81]

amazing match.

[@Khomradeigor]

Dhalsim beasting at its most insane.

[@bjmensz]

Awesome final round.

[@ColtSteele]

Great finish.

[@SindarinElealar]

Wow, that was a Daigoish comeback in the lsat game.

[@Linkgt]

the DAMAGE done in this game is crazy...

[@OmnipotentO]

That was sick as fuck.

[@Kashll]

Sick comeback

[@VirtualDynamite]

Man street fighter 2 has the best music ever.

[@TimeSpaceMage]

Wow, broken movie length? o.o Great match, just saw it through sonichurricane's footsie articles.

[@metricleader8243]

I really tought that Dhalsim was going to lose lol.

[@vain_x]

Over here we call that "Sacado del buche" Kind of nasty to explain though,lol. Great comeback.

[@bjmensz]

@StBeasty1 How would you "jump out of sweeps", those are meaty sweeps, they are literally active as soon as you land from the throw tech. If you tried to jump out of them you would just get hit during jump start up. You can't jump out of meaties in any game that I know of.

[@ZhangHe2369]

it works if your ST bison, but not ce. Scissors kick loops are so much more useful.

[@MILFHaunter]

Did you and your brother retire from street fighter?

[@SolidSonicTH]

Maybe you're right, maybe not. For some reason SRK's HSF2 tier lists don't even list "Old" characters, just "Super" characters (who I don't think are bound by the same rules as SSF2T "Old" characters).

[@Evilj82]

A wolfe, despite CE bison being a crazy character, do you think ST bison would be a harder matchup for dhalsim than CE bison? I think so, but I'm not sure why.

[@Velocitah]

Fkn nice comeback with Dhalsim!

[@noimnothindu]

crazy comebak

[@megamanxtc]

Can't say I'm a big fan of tick throws...but to each their own.

[@Makingnewnamesisdumb]

@awolfe31 Why does that work?

[@carelessmorning]

@TimeSpaceMage Well it works now it seems. Some people didn't know it moved to certain parts of the video, but I guess you aren't one of them. I didn't see it was two months ago either. :D

[@Silks]

holy dizzy recovery

[@strikerk]

I was rooting for Alex the entire time.

[@dudebfg0123]

I don't know if you can jump out of a well timed tick throw. I'm not sure that you can.

[@dongchinchin]

LMAO HOW did you undizzy so fast!?!?

[@MexicanHat]

god-tier :D

[@ZhangHe2369]

ce bison using headstop, are you high?

[@knowskill5]

nice to see a dalshim in evo

[@EggplantEmperor]

guile theme made this more awesome

[@VYP3R22]

awesome last round lol

[@INeedHerPomPomJuice]

Yes Bison was broken, his scizzor kick equaled to Dee jays super. O.Sagat was the most broken and blanka was third most broken due to his 1/4 damage from ball attack

[@fsv510]

Da heck

[@TimeSpaceMage]

@carelessmorning I know about the links going directly to the middle of the videos, but the video had messed up when I watched it. I don't remember how since you're replying to me after two freakin months (=P) but it was probably just a glitch.

[@krumpkrumpkrumpkrump]

@slingfox I think its fairly random in this game

[@Samuelio]

Obviously if he got 2nd evo 2006

[@Mesarphelous]

Go Alex!

[@turdferguson2]

@jowrab no i know all the differences. i'm just saying it's crazy just how major they are. i actually use bison as my backup in HF if things aren't working with ken. he's good if you know how to use him but still has some pretty horrible matchups.

[@Zeronum2]

@MrJ3suscrist That's wrong btw.

[@heatblazer]

Yes,he can cancel the chrouching Light Punch into Headpress ,it doesen`t do a ceap damage but offers an initiative in attacks(leap back and throw for example).Very efficient in turbo games and useless in the original slow SF2 CE.

[@layersofirony]

@Foxboy106 trolololol

[@Standamanwhocan]

true, but CE bison is just stupid broken, only second to ST akuma.

[@MrJ3suscrist]

wait so who was who and who the fuck won?

[@SirLoin027]

Man, look at the chip damage on the Psycho Crusher.

[@Rob8036]

leaving out supers of course, cause its not applicable in this case

[@TrueSephiros]

So sad that Tomo and Jeff will never play at a tournament level again...those two would've owned everyone. Wolfe's Dhalsim is too beastly, and even though he won against Ce. Bison...he is still imo the most overpowered character in HSF2:AE.

[@RaishinX]

Fuckdamn...

[@Dredrick]

@Calibur316 Uhh... 2...

[@turdferguson2]

crazy how Bison went from being the best character in CE to the absolute worst in HF

[@krazziejrboi]

sf2 theme pwns all music fighting themes

[@xRisingForcex]

@XxSumSmashxX e bison

[@kaworuscott]

throw slide throw slide throw slide throw That's how winners play

[@MaximusDread]

Using your tools properly is how winners play.

[@Paradoxical45]

Yes, you know something's cheap when it actually wins games.

[@Irv350]

better than o. sagat and claw? why though other than better scissor kicks

[@remando]

win less dirty

[@sfturbo]

nice comeback. i hate CE bison... arrrggghhhh

[@ZhangHe2369]

stomp*

[@JoseChaps]

Sick recovery at 3:24 !!!!!

[@i2k]

hello 240p

[@4GShinigami]

If you're gettin hit with random ultras, then you may want to switch up your rush-down game. Try safer pokes and combos.

[@raxzar]

Lol if blanka was broken why no pro player on high lv plays him in SF II?

[@nismoz31turbo]

no way he as good as old sagat..old sagat is so stupid the japanese have a silent ban on him...bison has no way to beat old sagat abusing roundhouse tiger shots effectively

[@dukindu]

dhalsim wins!!!!!!!!!!!! omg

[@tomh45]

lol noogie loop ftl nt dic

[@Xurkey]

Learn to reversal. Thanks.

[@wra7h]

how boring

[@GcYoshi13]

Dhalsim could star in a horror movie where he Yoga Noogies people to death.

[@shinjig]

you do realize that bison has no good reversals. as nothing of his really has any invinsibility. psycho crusher has 3 frames of iF's at start up, but doesn't hit until several frames later. so he would have been stuffed by dhalsims then standing strong/medium punch since that came out instead of the throw (because valle reversed into psycho crusher instead). Similarly dhalsim doesn't really have any good reversals either, reversal teleports tend to put you in the same place as you started.
