SFV Final Patch at a glance - Ibuki

[@jk844100]

Just so you know; Kolin’s lk,mk target combo from heavy vanity step also air resets on the first hit but the second hit will still juggle (she got that in this update)

[@TheBroski]

Cody jump MK-MK target combo too.

[@mortimerwake2974]

That caltrop change is one of the coolest little gimmicks I've seen from this game in years. The cr.lk animation also fits the action decently well. Thanks for highlighting some applications of the hitbox deactivation!

[@Boyzby]

Ibuki is such a cool character. I should really put more time into trying to learn her.

[@mayowafadahunsi7119]

Too bad she's too hard. But that's what makes her cool

[@Shieldclock]

Ibuki has problems with people using vshift on her 'vortex' but yeah, she's fast and kunai is great for getting in

[@garethmagis]

It's crazy that after all these years you are still making high quality videos like this.

[@nelomalkevain4129]

Unlike Menat's new Ex move i feel like Ibuki's new Ex Dash gives her some insanly flashy and fun combos, she looks straight outta an anime fighting game

[@flame_eh]

Shame about the damage.

[@jonc8561]

She is a mix up character.

[@TheFightingGentleman]

Well played Baf...you uploaded this and the Balrog one on the same day since they were added to the game on the same day. What a birthday gift for me

[@TheZeroDozer]

Such comprehensive changes got done to the characters that I'm surprised we didn't get a new volume of trials. Or did we?

[@planetjanet3845]

No

[@nebiyuesayas5600]

The new EX run is nice, and the changes are all pretty good. I think V Shift just kinda killed some of her mixups, but hopefully Ibuki players can work around it now. Also, as a Ryu player, I'm kinda jealous that she gets a 3 hit light confirm off a low. The best I can do is st. LP>cr. LK>cr. LP, and all that does is increase pushback and lose 10 damage

[@DEClimax]

the second hit of that sequence being a low means it will hit players that are using back walk OS to escape a throw attempt. 3-hit sequences with a low as the second hit are strong in SFV

[@nebiyuesayas5600]

@@DEClimax Ah, fair point. That's actually good to know, although it does mean I can't start from a low. Still helpful though

[@DEClimax]

@@nebiyuesayas5600 purrsonally, if i had a choice between 3-hit confurm that starts with a low or has a low as the second hit, i'd take the latter in SFV

[@davidk2023]

I'll trade that trash for your easy mp spammer and just half your neutral game. I actually tested something out, ryu's mp -> mp -> hp -> hk does more damage than her (lp -> mp -> hp) OR (d. mp) -> kunai -> vt1 -> mk -> h. kazekiri -> bomb -> toss all kunai -> ex raida ... trash tier character.

[@nebiyuesayas5600]

@@davidk2023 you do realize that Ibuki relies on mixups, right? Yeah she deals less damage, but she gets more openings and more chances to do damage.

[@MoyosoreOgunbiyi]

Fujimura was my favorite Ibuki Pro Main but I really hope he finds his way back after switching to Chun-Li then Cammy.

[@planetjanet3845]

unfortunately it looks like he's sticking with Chun

[@eoeaoe12e]

i love you

[@Spabobin]

The cr.LP change also gives her great counterhit links into cr.MP or st.MK. It used to be fairly safe to mash lights against staggered light pressure as her confirm options were weak outside point blank

[@JasonYJS_xoxo]

Ibuki's EX Kunai looked like Chun Li's VS1

[@resonmon]

Great and informative video as always ı'm so hyped for your Oro breakdown !!

[@chinesemassproduction]

which is good since she's a pretty cool character. closer to a real ninja than guy and zeku tbh

[@shaunmcisaac782]

+2 on activate just makes the trigger a mindless YOLO opportunity.

[@Bafael]

Yeah but it's just the one pop. It's a bit like VT1 nadeshiko in that way really.

[@Archedgar]

Ibuki-chan is so cute in SFV. They made her so small and bouncy.

[@linvega671]

After the new c.MK TC you can do H.cd j.LP delay j.MK into plus frames. Scary side swap in the corner

[@kford9271]

I want Season 1 Ibuki back when she could juggle off of any normal to reset the opponent and do all kinds of side switching shenanigans. Was it OP? Probably. Was it fun? Damn right it was.

[@CallsignJoNay]

I want season 2 Ibuki back. That was the most fun version, but definitive update version is pretty close.

[@PSNMyfoot]

1:35 wtf hahahahah

[@momoTAMAGOTCHI]

Shine probably would play ibuki

[@sheefo]

Who are you maining during this patch Baf?

[@Bafael]

I haven't even played it yet lmao every moment has been making these vids

[@joeythreeclubs]

Well historically you're a Sakura player right?

[@Bafael]

Sakura and Oro these days. I still like Sakura more just because I can do more things with her.

[@Archedgar]

@@Bafael So the legends were true.

[@sheefo]

@@Bafael I can imagine they take a lot of time. Thanks for the hard work!

[@PomadaGaming]

4:01 hm oh right

[@PomadaGaming]

4:49 lmao

[@Stroggoii]

I believe those little inconsistencies were what kept her from the top. With that fixed and the duty fighters gone into other games, she might rise to rule the post-mortem SFV meta.

[@miimiiandco]

What the Ibuki doin'?

[@yourstillwithme]

This is how she should have played at launch. i feel this patch is literally just how the characters should have been the WHOLE TIME. SF5 literally took 6 years to be somewhat playable. That's sad

[@mortimerwake2974]

It is sad that it took so long (and outrageous how much they charged for it over the years), but it's cool that the final version seems to be an actually good game.

[@adamtideman4953]

You say that now... But give it a few weeks and this game will turn into Luke Fighter 5.

[@Chun-believable]

As a Chun-Li and Kolin player, I disagree. But yes. Urien should’ve never had that headbutt.

[@yourstillwithme]

@@Chun-believable Lol Uriens Aegis just needed to be toned down and thats about it. It was already like -14 on block, crush counterable, and led to gigantic damage if blocked. Aegis needed to be changed, not his terrible and risky reversal that hits JUST HORIZONTAL lol.

[@notimeforcreativenamesjust3034]

What? At launch, she was literally top 3, and then she stayed that way for 2 seasons. Got nerfed in season 3 than brought back in season 4 and 5.

[@Neogears1312]

Besides her atrocious design ibuki was a really cool character this game and it’s interesting to see her retooled to play so differently on a fundamental level. If she comes back I hope they finally start taking this character seriously again instead of being yet another joke character. That and I hope her design isn’t awful.

[@jonc8561]

Lol she's not a joke character. What are you smoking?

[@CallsignJoNay]

Bad design and joke character? Huh?

[@Chun-believable]

She, Makoto, Dudley, Elena, and twins are the best designs from 3. And she’s never been a joke character, she’s just light hearted and not yet another boring serious edgy “too cool to smile” type. Thank god she actually has a personality unlike others.

[@Neogears1312]

@@jonc8561 literally hasn’t had a single instance narrative wise where they haven’t been used for gags exclusively since 1997. Only had one serious storyline they dropped for comedy. Apparently not a joke character. Classic capcom fans being really in denial.

[@jonc8561]

@@Neogears1312 You waited a year to reply. And I don't care about the a narrative. When you say "joke" character, I automatically think about their competitive viability.
