Nope, i’ve never talked to him/them – mainly because that website seemed “finished” even when i first saw it years ago, so i assumed he was retired. And actually i’ve always wondered what to call him, because the website doesn’t seem to have a profile page. But i guess “Akablo” is unique enough until we figure it out.

Akablo is a great site, lots of important/awesome info if you can get through some of the translation barrier. I don’t know if akablo is one person, though, as “akablo” is the japanese abbreviation for “red parry,”* so it’s a nice fit for hardcore 3s…unless you’ve spoken with the site creator, maj = if so, is s/he friendly? I’d like to speak with whomever is behind this old site.

*”akai” = red, “blocking/block” = parry…japanese players use “guard” for what we call “block”, and “block” for what we call “parry”…Hooray, another Vega/Balrog/M.Bison situation.

In reply to his1nightmare. You don't have to thank me sir; you deserve it. And i agree, Akablo's videos are amazing, especially considering how old they are. I'm surprised you haven't heard of Mopreme and Kamui though. Guess they qualify as oldschool by today's standards. All of their 3S combovids were released pre-Daigo-parry and i don't think any of them were tool-assisted. They're both from Texas, although Mopreme has spent some time in Japan.

In reply to his1nightmare. Though I am not familiar with Mopreme and Kamui, I hope neither created the video I linked, since I don't know who actually did. Elseway, sorry.

Thanks for putting me into such a post, Maj :).

Not sure if you want to add, but I also like to point people to this website:
http://akablo.noob.jp
( click the “move.html#combo” link on the left and look for “combo.wmv” )
It lasts 12 minutes and shows for every character at least one very nice combo, including some combos which weren’t shown in any other video (like a Dudley clip with a whiffed SA3 in between of juggles).

best regards

In reply to fenris.

No, the only major advantage of stun is that dizzy opponents don’t flip into invincible landing reel when they get hit by normal moves. For example with those standing jab juggles, you need to dizzy them first in order to keep them in knockdown state. But otherwise the juggle limits don’t change.

On the ground, dizzy state extends hitstun by one additional frame – which enables certain link combos that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. But once you hit them after they’re dizzy, they return to normal and that one extra frame of hitstun disappears.

How exactly does 3s stun work? Does it creates its own special juggle state when the opponent is stunned?
