He showed him he could hit him with 3 in a row, then hit him with 2 and waited for him to jump back to avoid #3, just like he wanted. Alex wasn't reading Bonchan's mind, he was programming it.
-
The true sign of mastery is the fact he basically didnāt even attempt a grab. He forsook the whole point if hugo. Because he knew the anticipation was more dangerous than anything the 360 could do.
-
This highlights the fact that top players aren't used to "bad" characters being played really well.
-
Its worth noting that Valle had a training session the night prior with Floe.
-
That Ultra 2 was so sick what a legendary moment.
-
It's talked about a lot, but one of the biggest strategies used by Valle is never going for Hugo's Moonsault Press, his most "conventional" command grab. He does the run, he does the anti-air, but he never goes for the "main" one, and it's one Bonchan clearly is expecting with his patient gameplay. It's an incredible mind game, and one Valle plays like the expert he was and is.
-
This will forever be one of the best sets not just in street fighter, but of fighting games themselves, right up there with stuff like nage vs omito
-
Will always have love for Alex Valle. Great dude. Also mad love to Bonchan and his Sagat. He's the reason I picked up and mained Sagat. Praying I don't have to wait years for him to come back in sf6
-
I will never forget watching this live and telling my brother, right before the match started, "THIS is how you play Sagat". I've never been so happy to be so wrong.
-
This was 8 years ago and Infiltration currently looks younger than he did in this video.
-
Love these videos. SF4 was a magical time, I don't think we'll ever have anything like it ever again.
-
one thing of note: I think it helped Valle sitting right next to Bonchan. Valle is an old school arcade player, he plays mindgames outside of the game. He's constantly banging his stick, doing empty motions, pressing buttons etc, if that affects you it's really annoying.
-
Small correction: Sagatās high tiger shot is only tied for the 3rd fastest fireball at 11f (low tiger is 12f) Guile LP/MP/HP Boom = 9F Poison EX FB = 9f Chun HP/EX FB = 10F There are a couple other 11Fs but they require meter (Ryu/Guile EX) or prep (Juri release)
-
I remember watching that live. One of the hypest matches i saw. I sometimes miss SF4.
-
SF4 was the game I played ranked in the most of the series. Had an above average Dan. Only won like 46% of the time, but that was in thousands of matches. And people HATE losing to him. It was so much fun back then.
-
ALWAYS looking forward to new videos from you documenting competitive fighting game history.
-
Hey papalobster, thank you for what you do for the fighting game community. These commentaries and retelling of stories is always so quality. you are the standard for fighting game content to me
-
I watch that match everytime it pops into my mind every few months, legendary moment in FGC history.
-
He may be rough but seeing my favorite SF character masterfully played is always a joy
-
Good narration, well researched the content is solid man. Hope the channel grows!
