This Super Street Fighter IV match is from an extended first-to-ten set which took place quite a while ago, but it has a couple very interesting moments randomly taking place.
players: Warahk (Guile) vs Tatsu (Vega)
observations:
These matches are well-played throughout, but the two crazy moments that stand out occur at 3:20 and 8:15. Vega’s blocked ultra2 continues pushing Guile during the startup of his ultra2, causing the Sonic Hurricane to whiff at 3:27. This might’ve been an interesting meaty setup under different circumstances. Then at 8:15, Guile’s backwards super tags Vega’s wall dive attempt, which leads to a Sonic Hurricane followup in the corner. Looks pretty awesome.
game: Super Street Fighter IV (Console)

I’m right with the announcer when he said he hadn’t seen half of those combos Tatsu was pulling off. A testament to not just Tatsu being an excellent player but also that Vega has a lot of new tricks up his sleeve that barely nobody uses because his vanilla counterpart was so bad.
That tauntfest in the end was rather hilarious too.
wow.. can’t belive i missed this set
very entertaining! thanks
Yeah, I also was hit by Vega’s Ultra 2 after I tried to punish it with Fei Long’s Ultra 1. Vega’s U2 took over mine even as a punish. The leg he sticks out stretches farther than the Rekkashingeki punches i guess. haha
