Apparently this is the conclusion of a 2-on-2 Capcom vs SNK 2 tournament where each player had to pick one random character? So of course Bas basically wins it with R1 A-Bison alone.
players: Bagwoon (C-Ken/Sagat/ChunLi-2) and D44 (A-Bison/Hibiki/Blanka-2)
vs K (C-Akuma/Blanka/Sagat-2) and GunterJPN (A-Bison/King/Blanka-2)
observations:
There’s an interesting moment at 0:58 where K lands a half-nice/half-ghetto Raging Demon setup, then he kind of backs off and allows Bagwoon to throw out a roll DP. Obviously he could’ve punished the roll and won the round immediately, but when you think about it, getting Demon’d tends to make people anxious. There was a chance that Bagwoon might have done a super after that roll, so maybe K was giving Bagwoon an opportunity to waste all his meter before dying? Not a bad idea. It didn’t matter in the end though, because D44-Bas is too damn good at this game. Did you know that he invented Bison’s far s.MP? True story.

each one had a random character? If K’s random character was Blanka he should have won. They should force D44 to play a R4 Bison
Honestly i’m guessing about that. Akuma isn’t a character you see too often anymore, King is bottom tier and i’ve never seen Gunter pick her, and i know Bas doesn’t play Hibiki. But maybe the “Random” in the title refers to random team pairings?
he just seemed too good with Akuma for that to have been a random choice. Maybe everyone needed a non blanka/sagat/bison character or something.
Eh, everyone went through an Akuma phase at some point. The only thing he did that struck me as especially skillful was the j.D+MK divekick to RC Demon Flip to perfectly spaced crossup air fireball at 1:35.
But then again, every CvS2 player goes through that phase where tigerknee air fireball seems like the coolest trick ever. The key thing is he doesn’t really seem to have a gameplan against A-Bison.
I thought the “beauty” of a-bision is that there is no gameplan against him :/
Haha you always need a gameplan. Just because he’s a stone cold killer doesn’t mean your gameplan should be suicide.
Oh I know, I just feel like the a-bison match up can be described with a flow chart like this…
Does he have meter? -> yes -> well shit… :(
Does he have meter -> no -> do his buttons work? -> yes -> damn
I do better against sagat, blanka, cammy, vega, etc. I know there are ways to fight a-bison, I just never could. Its not like he’s broken or anything, I even suck at the bison match in SF4 so I might be the wrong person to comment on anything bison.
Hahaha way to take yourself out of conversation dude. You couldn’t end that with something like “but I’ve never once lost to Bison in Street Fighter 2 Turbo even on 8 stars difficulty, so I consider myself an anti-Bison expert”?
See how much better that sounds? It’s all about presentation.
