Shuto Explains Why AngryBird is a Unique Player [SF6] [Shuto]

[@phosphorescenceking6114]

I was doing a research project and measuring a lot of match statistics with the e sports world cup thing, and AngryBird stood out as having the strangest stats compared to all the other players. He spends the least drive gauge per round, he hits his opponent with way more separate attacks than most matches that end in maybe 4 stray hits and 3 combos, and yeah, he just sits there with full bar and is just entirely confident he can play reactively to everything and only spend on hit or to overwhelm in the corner.

[@LKASTI]

Would be interesting to see those statistics if possible.

[@dragonzord42]

yeah can you post that info somewhere like street fighter reddit

[@Stiggy771]

Dude you have to make that data available. I'm hoping you would. Sounds very interesting

[@slinnkys5405]

To add to this, I did an informal analysis of some of AngryBird's sets and a few things that stood out: in neutral, his most represented option is throwing fireballs, and after blocking a safe button he continues to block just under 50% of the time. Offensively, his most represented option is shimmy, followed by DR throw and DR HP. On wakeup, his most represented option is block, which he does about 45% of the time, followed by instant tech 15% of the time.

Y'all's thirst for stats sounds like you're searching for the magic formula. "ok, I won't do more than 2 of this option and it will net me a higher winrate" Can't be further from truth without asking him to breakdown every matchup that you choose to analyze

Really appreciate you doing these translations

[@AlexMyersFGC]

Glad to see you back!

[@chasepalumbo2929]

Amazing video! Really interesting, and that demon he did after the overhead was super tricky

[@Herooop-ms282]

Maybe he's just playing to his strenghts by saving resources for explosive pressure, he is known to be good at offense

[@DeathDasein]

Good video. Thank you.-

Why is he using Gouki as example? Thought AB dropped the character 🤔

[@chene-aurelgaudreau1072]

AngryBird has been playing Gouki a lot lately actually. Perhaps he changed his mind.

[@GenderNeutch]

@@chene-aurelgaudreau1072 ahhh, thanks for letting me know, I wasn't aware of that. Just remembered that video where he talked about him being a "trash character"

Exactly, all asian try to play optimal but that make them predictable than is why AngryBird and Mena are the best cause they change tactics all the time.

[@Herooop-ms282]

I think that this has something to do with "playing to your strenghts" too, Mena is good at hard reads, so he focus his gameplan in getting the oponent to 50/50 situations, Angrybird is good at applying offense so he focus his gameplan on saving his resources for explosive pressure...

[@unforgiven3035]

@@Herooop-ms282 AB has stated in his why he wont main Akuma video that he prefers a playstyle where he can hard punish the opponent and how Akuma doesnt really open up that playstyle to him compared to Ken where he gets to punish the opponent off of everything. That also seems to be the case here where he chooses to put himself in a "bad state" per se but when you slip up you will end up being the one in the corner with a big combo to your face.

[@Herooop-ms282]

@@unforgiven3035 @unforgiven3035 Yeah I saw that video, maybe that's why some competitive players also struggle to play at the highest level consistently, choosing to play the meta instead of developing their strengths... The most extreme example I see is Punk, who despite being in a much harder game to control defensively, playing neutral and checking things like drive rush, DI... He still maintains that playstyle playing with Cammy that excels at that, but still goes against the meta of the game. Either angrybird choose to play the meta and learn a new playstyle with a very good character or he mantain his progress with Ken, that's a very hard decision to make. Punk chose to play his strengths and had great results, but idom for example did the same and it's still struggling against other top players.

[@eebbaa5560]

@@Herooop-ms282to be fair, ken and cammy are still very good characters, while manon isn’t. so you should take that into account. i agree that punk still has a very sfv playstyle though, which is harder to maintain in a game with such a high mental stack.

[@Herooop-ms282]

@@eebbaa5560 That's the point, Idom choosing to play his strengths means that he have to play a bad character to fully translate his Laura skills, now i'ts not just a problem of playstyle vs meta but also a lack of resources to fight against other characters. Punk playing to his strengths is something more manageable than Idom playing to his strengths in this game. What I'm saying is just that is very hard to make a decision in this scenario, prioritize the meta or you ? Should Idom change his character to Ken and try to compete against Angrybird Ken ?

Angry bird didn't win any evo or capcom cup in SFV. SF6's scrubby mechanics allow him to spam drive rush jab and rob people with better footsies.

[@LEXeroma]

I agree sf6 is scrubby but Angrybird is consistently amongst the top players at all times. He's good at using the games mechanics to win. Also sf5 is just as scrubby but a different scrubby lol
