Dudley player Gillstolemyride just launched a YouTube channel dedicated to the gentlemanly side of Ultra Street Fighter IV. The video that got the channel going covers a bevy of follow-ups to Dudley’s toward fierce attack, which are far from classy. They’re honestly a little scary.

This tech is intended for late-match use, as Dudley needs all the meter that he can get his gloves on, but as you’ll soon see, it’s meter well spent. All of these situations begin with Dudley hitting his opponent out of a back dash with a toward fierce and then proceeding to carry them across the screen with a series of slugs that will leave them only a couple of hits below their stun threshold. Landing that next attack or two will guarantee the lowest damage scaling possible for the following stun combo, most of which leave opponents with mere pixels keeping them standing.

The video is quite long–nearly 20 minutes–but Gillstolemyride has included a handy list of time stamps in the video’s description for easy navigation.

New York Guilty Gear veteran Mynus has uncovered an interesting optio select for I-No in Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- that utilizes her command throw, Sterilization Method.

In air reset situations, the specific input sequence involved will either trigger vertical Chemical Love (if the opponent doesn’t tech) or Yellow Roman Cancel into Sterilization Method (if they do). The option select works optimally with a specific amount of meter, however, so be sure to watch the video to see this technique in action and read Mynus’ breakdown of how it works below.

I-no’s command grab – Sterilization Method-, is one of her most strongest moves in her moveset. Unfortunately, many times landing Sterilization Method -SM for short- includes making hard reads on your opponents’ teching habits.

Although YRC OS was removed in 1.10, this only applied to BURSTS, not Dead Angle, Blitz Shield, or Aerial Tech. This OS requires that you have at least 25% meter, and less than 50% if you do not want to waste all 50% if your opponent chooses not to tech.

The OS works as follows:

Combo into 6P – 5H – iad j.S – KSH – 214H~S.

Note that without the plink on H~S – when your opponent techs, you YRC immediately and have to react since your PKS input either becomes YRC or a j.K, and you have to choose immediately between SM and VCL [Vertical Chemical Love] to either reset, or continue combo accordingly.

But…since
1. Ino cannot chain command throw from an aerial normal
2. Slash has button priority over Heavy Slash
3. In GG you cannot FD during your airdash frames
4. VCL & SM -command grab- have the same input motion….

If they don’t tech, since you cannot chain air normals into command grab, VCL auto comes out.
If the DO tech, the plink of H~S is enough so that you will not activate the Slash button priority over the Heavy Slash

Since I-no does amazing damage in the corner, this OS is best served for combos heavily prorated: note starter, 2K, j.K and multiple air normals.

Finally, be aware that attacks that connect on your opponent during YRC/RC slowdown force prorate 80%. You can delay your SM input if you manually wait after the YRC so that SM connects and grabs the opponent after the YRC slowdown has ended. However, since your opponent gains all air movement options back after a tech, if you delay SM you run the chance of letting them double jump out of the command grab range.
