Man pugera's Ibuki was crazy back then. There was also someone else but I forgot. How do people consistently hit that ibuki combo? Isn't it like a 1-2 frame link ? I understand plinking but can you plink with an Xbox controller ?
Yes it is, my Hori Stick is designed in a way that is possible to invert functions between start and select to intentionally use slinks while playing street Fighter, this was inspired by Sako's Hori stick. Sako rewired his stick, and put the back button on the LT button so he can blink at ease.
Slink is for PS3, Blink is for 360 its all a form of plinking.
Btw, the reason why i got into street fighter 4 seriously and picked ibuki to main was Sako too, though she was the first character i tried at the AE, many months laters i got interested in learning to the high level, so i found a video of Chris G playing Ibuki. The commentators on that video were excited the second Chris G picked Ibuki, but then they said that his Ibuki wasn't crazy enough to the same way Hori Sako was (yes, that is how they called him)
So i searched Hori Sako on Youtube, and i found the video named "The Best of Sako" and i got sold, and i played Ibuki ever since.
The other good guys to watch is Shimauta who is more of a footsies oriented Ibuki, he bets more on neutral game, and the Pugera, who is the 3rd best Ibuki, but Pugera still has a long way to go, he is lackluster indeed, but he let the frustrations get to him easily.
