That last clip with the crossup Hien has been a huge help. It's an awesome way to get inside a turtle's head and pry open their defense.

[@neurallydegenerated]

Great video. It really opens up my eyes to what Ibuki can be capable of.

[@TidySammy]

Absolutely amazing video, been sitting in training for a couple hours now and I've learnt so much due to this video, thanks a lot! Bookmarked :)

[@AzureFayt]

Thanks A LOT for this video! I just started maining Ibuki (I main juri and sakura) and this has helped me A LOT with her combos.

[@eleminty]

Awesome video. This is my first fighting game, and although it's taken some time (and practice) to understand what most of this means and how to use it, it's all extremely helpful. Thanks for putting the effort into this!

[@knowskill5]

SF3 had such a good sound track and it came with the Strategy guide

[@bhytre]

Great video, it's scary to think how good she's going to be in the right hands one year from now.

[@TopTechTrendsX]

Everyone is buzzing over Dudley but Ibuki is such a bigger threat i think, the mix ups are NUTS

[@DatOneGuy901]

been running from the obvious since SSF4 dropped... I was destined to learn Ibuki..time to go in...this vid is the first place i came to..

[@isurus0]

thanks so much for making this. i was going to pick her up before i even saw this, but she's going to be a nice alternative to fei.

[@Ax3LoW]

Very Big THANX for this video !!! I was really in search for something like that !

[@bitnissan]

@BWDKoryuu it is likely they are using a fight stick. all these move are quite possible with joypads, they would be using the directional pad and not the analog stick.

[@thejunkmanlives]

im surprised shes one of the rarely used characters. she got some good shit. I have a feeling shes gonna be like sf4 cammy, right before the patch or super sf4 turbo comes people are gonna discover that shes solid.

[@nickchi1]

Damn!!! That combo in the beginning was BEAST!!! ^_^

[@atrailofblood]

Bout to try that 'around the world' sjc ultra 2. ive never been able to get it right. this will be a blessing if it works

[@BloodFeather]

@xGracefulAssassinx when u rly want to main a character at any game not only fighters the first thing to do is to get familiar w/ each and every move they got.... after doing that u should easily be knowing what moves he uses at this video... and if ur unsure just test the moves... pause the vid if ur 2 slow at grasping what he inputs... W/e an input list just isnt needed...

[@BojanMadzarov]

this guy is an expert!

[@bartdude82]

man i love playing ibuki! i think im finally getting good with her neckbreaker ftw!

[@tsunami49]

Favourited. Will be a valuable reference tool. Props for the vid.

[@AnimaPain]

Great vid I main Ibuki so this was really helpful!

[@iiNibzZyii]

tht first combo is cool

[@xxbeholderxx]

ohh my, this vid is amazing....thnx man, some stuff in here are quite awsm and that i never though off. the EX qcb+k in mid screen, into a whiffing neck breaker to ultra 1 is INSANE!! lol and YES the combo at the end with SJC into penguin was cross up! rofl....never though bout it

[@nuccidesu]

@xX410chea I'm pretty sure you can do it on pad, you just have to practice To p-link you need to hit two buttons not at the same time, but nearly the same time so it'll come out twice example, say you want to plink LP and MP, you would hit those two buttons nearly at the same time, LP first and then MP, and if you go into training room and turn on the show inputs thing, LP should come out twice, first time by itself then the second time with MP

[@gentleuterus]

Ibuki is a fucking BEAST. Once you learn how to Super Jump Cancel into Ultra 2, you will be unstoppable.

[@ceeeeej]

@nickchi1 I see what you mean. Yeah I main Ibuki too. She's heads and shoulders above those boring shoto characters I used to play as a fun character. (yes, I was guilty of being a flowchart Ken once) I'm still a Scrubuki myself.

[@nickchi1]

You know what I mean, I know it's not a combo in general, but the way all those moves were mixed up was crazy. In fact, I main Ibuki, but I still need ALOT of practice with her.

[@Brand117]

cant wait to play this next month

[@popertop]

@mooglemania06 it's a link, the timing is a little more precise.

[@ceeeeej]

@nickchi1 it's not really a combo per se, it's a series of mixups. if it were a combo, the damage scaling could murder the potential amount of damage dealt.

[@narutoxgamester]

thanks really helped up my questions on ibuki i was expirementing too thanks subscibed

[@Cubanned]

Very nice Eish, loved it!

[@weedandwater]

@OptionSelectDotCom It being easier is why I posted the message. But this is still a great video nonetheless, I think you should include it in the description to let players know that c.MP is not necessary and you can link s.MK instead for an easier but just as effective alternative.

[@jmichura]

Fanstastic Video. This will help alot, thanks.

[@BloodFeather]

@xGracefulAssassinx np imo the problem w/ learning combos from a string shown inb4 some video or sth is that it becomes a reflex and well one tends to go for the worse continuation of some combos if one is trained for it - sry if what i was trying to say isnt understandable ^.^*

[@XaolinTheFist]

Your SJC looks really fast, probably faster than an SJC with Viper. Is that how it really is supposed to be? Props for the vid, I favorited it to keep it in a safe place for when I get Super on Tuesday

[@bmoreinurmouth]

peple ibuki have alot a frame moves like if you press LK>MK then do a kasumi geke (that's the dash move that can get around your enemy) or LP>MP kasumi geke the hole point of ibuki is to get ur enemy of balance with the SJC and the kasumi geke and if it helps useing the neck braker and the raida after after combo to raise the damage to me ibuki is like setsuka from SC4 with her frames

[@venomtang]

great bro, ur one of the good ones

[@RHYKROSS]

Simplemente excelente. Como solo un Master puede hacerlo

[@GeneticBrand]

Intermission song is also from spongebob squarepants when squidward goes to live away from spongebob at that place lol

[@KintoUn.]

2i theme!!! yess i loved 2i the most :D

[@Emocrest]

really nice guide. seems to cover everything. id really like to see a guide of guy if possible.

[@Florio003]

@OptionSelectDotCom I don't know Ren & Stimpy cause I'm French and I think it's never been broadcast here, but yeah while Toonstruck is a damn good game, it wasn't a success for Virgin =( (that's why Toonstruck 2 never came out BTW) So yeah it's quite unusual to find a Toonstruck player ! And its musics are engraved in my memory =)

[@nivlekgnow]

ibuki vortex is serious. cant wait

[@Hapsmash]

I can already see what will happen to me in the future. Ibuki's gonna kick my ass... How would you defend against that ex ground sliding grab??

[@Knics2]

@gentleuterus ibuki isn't overpowered, she's just a normal mid-tier character! If your going by combo ability yeah she got that but, when you factor in damage scaling and the fact that she isn't really that strong to begin with she turns mid-tier. Combo's alone don't make beast!!!

[@swiftyxrd]

I'm confused on the SJC and JC part, I don't understand the part where it says "press down and whichever up direction you want to jump towards" etc.

[@therealalphageek]

@gentleuterus I agree with Knics 2. Ibuki is not an overpowered character. SF4 has the best damage scaling so far in all of the street fighter games. Just make sure no one pulls off these combos on you and your good.

[@ThierLeader]

This video if Chalk FULL OF WIN!! Thank you very much for this,

[@GirugaMarc]

wow Ibuki will have no problem at all against fireball characters

[@popertop]

@shotopunx no. she was about on this power level in SF3, and she's dead middle in that game.

[@EnkiduV3]

@knowskill5 For serious. It's the only fighting game strategy guide I ever bought (and only for that very reason).

[@AlterAce]

@KirbyOnCronic yea because rushing down 100% and have no defensive abilities is real easy if you cant use ibuki something is wrong sweep air kunai target combos kicks rinse and repeat

[@Samthenativeamerican]

@Gatchan2 look up VESPERARCADE, he does all the trials in ssf4 with real time inputs on the screen as well

[@MugenRenegade]

It would be nice if you listed the characters by their size in order to do the combos at 6:00. Just a thought. :-)

[@sirauronDX]

@lilsed3 Matter is you can interuppt or block said combos. Also shes got like 900 health and she sometimes has trouble getting into the opponent but most of her assault comes from when shes downed you. shes not broken. i mean would she fire fireballs all day or spam uppercuts? dohohoho

[@abuseplz]

this is fantastic

[@MultiplexityGaming]

@Shykeful What about just linking the punches into s.lk > s.mk target combo into neck breaker?

[@Gatchan2]

@OptionSelectDotCom I see. Thanks!!

[@CaigeWolf1270]

6:26 to 6:35. Can someone please describe to me in detail how to do this with an analog stick without them blocking or missing the quarter circle back kick to the radia?

[@Shykeful]

Hey, great video:) Uhm, I have a question concerning the execution of cr.lp>cr.lp>s.mk>neck breaker. I am trying this but my timing for s.mk is kinda wrong, I guess. I have problems to find the perfect moment for it. Either I am too slow and the enemy blocks it or I am too fast and this kick does not even appear:( I know it is a matter of practise, but does you have any advices for me?

[@Gatchan2]

@OptionSelectDotCom Thanks! I'll try that. In any case, do you know of a vid that'd display the input in real time (since the option is available in training mode)? And when you say that counts for both input, you mean that if you fail the dash, you still got the jump, which would be a good thing for a follow-up?

[@kkttykktty]

what do I have to do to make that aerial target combo with 2 kicks works in cross up? Because i've tried and it never works...

[@62bitHero]

wow really great video

[@Dalenoix]

@shotopunx I don't think so...... Ibuki has a weak stamina and is very low on health which make her very ease to stun and also she takes WAY TOO MUCH damage... Overall she's a pretty decent character with great mix-ups games.

[@tr1tan]

@PoppinFlip heres a tip: buy a fight stick.

[@KhairiART]

@PoppinFlip your right the dpad is way better i'm like 10x better now with ibuki

[@CNDigital]

@xeogen Yea she looks like trouble, I think that if I'm not liking the nerfs that they gave to my main Seth, I'll try to learn Ibuki then. I just love technical fighters :D

[@Hussuki]

Dear optionselect i checked up on your website and i looked up my current main and noticed there is no guide for him. What is up with that?

[@Ignight666]

great stuff!

[@burningsoul89]

Making those sjcs look EASY

[@Dragoomba]

YES! 2nd Impact music!

[@CLxJames]

@bmoreinurmouth And all Im saying is, her command dash is only good when used sparingly

[@Cayjin]

@gentleuterus So you're saying that no one who uses Ibuki uses her because they just like the character? Who are you to call someone a tool?

[@ShuugoNii]

@SnowflakeSVK It's no problem at all =). It's just KZbin is filled with trolls, we never know! If you have any other doubts, feel free to direct message me.

[@mooglemania06]

How do you do that 15 hit combo? I can't string the standing light punch to crouching medium

[@BummySheep]

I've been trying to pick up ibuki but she has so many things to memorize my mind just goes blank when im under pressure. Also how exactly do you super jump cancel?

[@kald0rei]

who was the best Ibuki player in 3S ? i play alex, i wouldn't know.

[@kamatchoukamatchou]

great video oO 6:05 ohhhhhhhhh FTW

[@-djSRK]

awesome video

[@Gatchan2]

Just how insanely difficult can the SJC dash input be?! I've tried for half an hour, and I'm pretty good at this game and decent with Ibuki! Can someone help? Why does the vid say to go with the pad all the way to the "up-forward" position instead of just "forward" before hitting kick? Do you hold "down" during the two kicks?

[@KingLukeDC]

any idea where to find out what all these abbrieviations are?

[@ceeeeej]

Could you guys do some option selects vids of her against grapplers (say, Hakan/Gief/T. Hawk/Honda)? I keep getting killed by SPDs and Hawk Dives both online and offline.

[@Florio003]

Is... this a music from TOONSTRUCK starting at 4:57 ? I can't believe I hear THIS in a Street Fighter video... XD Nice choice though =3

[@user71177]

can you give any advice on the SJC dash? i know the hk is inputted late but any other suggestions/advice?

[@unclesam530]

@kald0rei the best ibuki player in 3S is aruka

[@Anime4Life35]

How do you block her crazy target combos 7:25 - 7:30 I'v been getting killed by this combo all day if your going to teach it you need to know how to stop that it as well so how do you block it please

[@mandubabulam]

shes an easy character to pick up and play sub par but a very hard character to master

[@GamerDeMeia]

Very nice.

[@grevdis]

I wish to someday, i can do that kinda combos like yourself, but, oh man!!!!, it is just very very dificult to perform all that moves with a pad, well, at least for me, i have always been a pad player, cause always have been more comfortable for me than a joystick; but in this ocasion i feel lost with all that target combos and special moves that it is possible to do with ibuki and i can´t handle it with my dualshock T_T I always get my hands bended everytime i choose ibuki

[@619kammy]

She may be my 2nd or 3rd character after Abel

[@MrSprawlandbrawl]

That combo at 4:30 so hard.

[@patrick2377]

@IchinShek um i use the D-pad to fight and ibuki is my 2nd character ...i dont understand the SJC concept and what 2 press and when 2 press it especially the SJC dash . Could u please explain . Thank u !

[@OmnipotentO]

fucking crazy... will have to learn her at some point... Still got some ways to go with my Viper and Mak

[@moffetdamacy]

Any links to the tracks used in this? Very nice.

[@TigasFMS]

Really, I'm new to Street Fighter and she is my main. I can get pretty nice combos with her. With ChunLi and Akuma I totally suck. I guess those must be pretty hard to master xD

[@muthanuka2]

and what do b. and f. mean? example: b.clp?

[@bl1ndr]

@Chen1766231 its all through sjc, so you don't mash anything...

[@Shykeful]

@wolfd21 How can I link it? Well, I know how, but the problem was the s.mk by itself, not the linking after this kick.

[@BWDKoryuu]

Only just got this game, are all these combos being made using the analog control or Dpad?

[@weedandwater]

@IchinShek How do you P-link? I don't think you can do those on pad.
