Crowd Reaction of Sako's E. Ryu combo on Ricky Ortiz

bye felicia
are most street fighter 4 combos like this? like 1 special with giant hit stun over and over again?
Not really. Usually if you see a looping combo in SF4 its meter and execution heavy and situational (Dudley loops, Chun Li loops, Fuerte loops, etc). E Ryu can normally do between two and three loops on everybody for a ton of meter, but because rufus' hit box is so goofy he gets like 5 or 6 for less.

If you watch the actual match this happened in you can see how many times Sako actually dropped that combo before finally landing it on a dizzy.

Never got so mad at sako before, but at this Evo i was, instead of playing to win,(which he had a chance to take evo if he wanted to) dude plays for landing combos and draw the crowd, i know he got top 8, but this evo was a bit sloppy and instead of taking the chance of winning, he just went there to lost a match he could actually take serious.

Off all players who entered evo this year, Sako had the most chance of winning, because Ibuki got Hella buffed, and honesty there was no better Ibuki at this evo than his own, the most experienced one, and the most used to the changes and the only Ibuki with new techs based on the DWU and her Walkspeed buff, his Evil Ryu could win if he played to win. His fellow japs can't handle him (they couldn't during Topanga Charity Cup wich was a week before evo) and there was no Yun in the top 8.

Daigo went tier whoring on E.Ryu, got his ass handed by Dahlsim from Filipino Champ, and a dude who played ryu, yeah, fucking ryu.

Infiltration got out early by gief, and Xian lost to Snake Eyes.

Sako Blew it, there wasn't anyone in the top 8 he couldn't beat if he was serious about winning, he didn't want to take evo.
