This 16-Year-Old Ryu Player Challenged Me

[@mango2450]

Nephew telling him "that's random" every time he gets hit by the OS to annoy him is funny

[@Bboyduck]

what "OS" ???

[@yungroyal09]

@@Bboyduckoption select

[@mango2450]

OS means "option select" it refers to when someone uses one set of inputs to respond to multiple scenarios. In this case it is pretty common for players at a high level to input an invincible reversal during a button into drive rush. This is to option select between them doing a true block string of button, drive rush, button and throw (also will catch any attempt to steal frames with a fake block string). If they do button, drive rush, button then nothing come out, if they button drive rush throw they get hit with the reversal but they can call it out by doing button into blocking which obviously leads to a big punish. You can see this situation play out a few times during the games

[@Bboyduck]

@@mango2450 Yes, i know what does OS means , i created lot of them in previous games , i asked which one and you answer it i thought you talk about something else because this OS is risky and japanese players stopped doing it because people start delaying buttons after DR ...

[@mango2450]

@@Bboyduck it is risky but if they start delaying buttons or not doing anything you can call them out and steal your turn back or hit them out of the startup of their move so it can be an effective way to make your opponent second guess their offense which is quite helpful with how strong button into drive rush pressure can be

[@BrotherCheng]

6:26 "This game sucks" I didn't know you were playing iDom lol.

[@timcox-rivers9351]

This definately shows the value of long set vs tournament set. If this was a tournament 2 outta 3 (not that Nephew and Paladin were playing with a tourney mindset fwiw) Paladin won. But in a long set like this where you can really learn your opponents tendencies (and let's face it, put him off his game with some strategic trash talk) you can really put your experience and skill into play. I would love to see this kind of format between top players in the future.

[@DrSwazz]

Similar to best of 5 between Broski and Mena where it looked like Luke was gonna sweep, then Broski ended up being the only person to threaten Mena that tournament lol

[@domesticmh4567]

nice to see neph playing with his big bro

[@SRMi]

The glazing in the middle of the last game was kinda crazy

[@thedarkwonder9954]

First time hearing about Paladin was SF6. Not sure what he was playing before but when I saw him play a few times I really liked his style of Ryu. Then I find out he is a for real YOUNGIN! Then I thought to myself, man I was never even close to this good when I was 16. I'm in my 40s bro. I wonder what was his path to his skill level and how his mind works. I'm always amazed at some of these young talents. Like when JAK was "Just a kid" lol.

[@FringeSpectre]

Think about it. He only just recently got a job if he even has one, and he had plenty of time during COVID to grind Street Fighter all day everyday. When you were a kid, you had to go to an arcade to practice, and you didn't have online play like we do now, so you couldn't just sit at home for umpteen hours a day playing against people across the globe.

[@thedarkwonder9954]

@@FringeSpectre HAHA. too true. I could only spend 5 dollars max at the arcade at that time. And the line was long with only 1 SF2 cabinet in a city where arcades werent plentiful. My competition were my cousins on Super Nintendo once a year lol.

With Ryu. When you get a counter jab and DR into jab, jab, what button comes next? Is that back fierce?

[@mango2450]

If it is a regular counter its standing medium punch because you're +6, if its drive rush or punish counter you can go into back fierce because youre +8
