There's tons of ways to enter the Izuna, rofl. And Ryu experts will use almost all of them.
I'm a very throw-oriented player. You have no fucking idea how throw oriented I am. Ask around. They'll tell you.
Actually, I'm able to free-cancel blocked strings into an Izuna. You can condition those with good yomi. I also use both the standing and crouching version of the Izuna as punish throws for -13 moves on block, or if I think my opponent will block knowing they're unsafe. I also get an Izuna from a full strike chain (CB->Shoho Izuna). I also use Izunas as a wake-up punish. I also use them from Power Launchers, which I use from CBs or as a gap-closing mid-crush punish. I also use the hold variants. I also use the Shoho as a gap-closing high crush.
There are TONS of different set-ups and ways to use Izunas. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about.
He is a grappler. As I just pointed out above, you are totally ignorant of the character, how he's played, what his tools are and what his set-ups are.
True Izuna "spammers" know that one set-up can't win a round. Thus, they are forced to learn the character in-and-out to know different ways to net their izunas. Obviously, you're playing scrubs. If you ever make your way onto PSN, I'll show you what a true Izuna Spammer looks like. I'll make your head spin (literally).
Well duh. I play online. THat's what I'm talking about. Good ryus ARENT Izuna spammers. But I'm just talking about Izuna spammers. More specifically, people who just izuna over and over. But anyways, like I said, I was just pointing out that I hope that Marie isn't just a "spam one grab over and over kinda grappler" like Ryu, but instead has a more well rounded repertoire of grapples to work with. She's not like Mila's, whose whole schtick is being practical and efficient, so just one grab over and over doesn't make any sense for her. (Nor for superninja ryu, for that matter. He needs more grapples. but that's another topic). Regardless, I'm HOPING I can play her as a grappler.
This is the same ignorance observed in the Leon thread.
If u can land max damage at a given situatuon.. then that is the optimal punish, spam or not. Its common sense really. The reason you dont see much madness or spamming in high level matches is because in most cases the opponent is aware of the situation and does what he can so that he doesnt fall into the same scenario 100 times as a scrub would.
But when the opportunity arises, you can bet your ass that izunas gonna come out
So...you try to say I'm being ignorant...while being ignorant of the actual subject I'm talking about and instead arguing about max damage, which has nothing to do with what I was saying. Brute's right in that I'm ignorant in how Ryu's inputs are, because I don't use him, but i'm NOT ignorant in pointing out that I hope she's not a "Just spam one grapple" like most ryu players. This has nothing to do with max damage, this is aesthetic preferences. Just like in the Leon thread, this is you being ignorant of the subject matter, not me. Please don't be a hypocrite Emp. You're better than that.
It doesn't matter if something is an optimal punish/damage or not, if its spam, it's spam. That's all I'm saying. You can argue about how max/optimal whatever it is till you're blue in the face, but at the end of the day, spam is still spam. (even with my Mila, I try my BEST not to spam her mount tackle, whether by same input or various links to it....unless they are a ninja, in which case, fuckem. Or if I keep countering, I can't help that because her counters lead straight into it. But I don't actually aim to tackle most of the time, specifically to subvert spamming, She's not like Ryu, who has to actively TRY To land his signature grapple, as opposed to Mila, who literally just falls into it all the time) And more specifically, I'm hoping Marie Rose has good variety instead of being a spam character. I just hope she's tactical. Unlikely, but hoping nonetheless.
If they aren't a problem, why are you complaining about them? Why are you giving them a second thought?
He has plenty of useful throws and multiple OHs, which someone here already described, and a 4 frame throw. He's a grappler. In fact, I just checked his movelist and he has 27 throws. If some Bass players spammed only one throw despite having access to a lot, would that mean Bass isn't a "grappler" anymore? I don't get what you're trying to say.
Because I'm noting that a character with just ONE signature grapple over and over shouldn't be qualified as a "grappler". Simply on the basis that any character can just spam a single grab over and over.
I don't use Ryu, so wasn't aware he had actually 27 throws. All I ever see is Izuna, Izuna Izuna, which is what I was basing my opinion off of. Actually, on that note, anyone know what the throw count is for each character?
Regardless, as I said, back on topic, I'm hoping Marie Rose has a good variety of grapples.
