shun di-licious vids

***UPDATE***

***more vids added, check the bottom of my post***

the shun forum gets crap when it comes to posts, so i figured i'd put together some vids of my favorite matches that i've found on youtube. put in some commentary... ask questions... do whatever... let's just get this forum breathing again.

i'll be adding my own commentary (btw, when i watch these vids the timer goes down to zero, so when i give a time, it's based on that)

1.) VF5 ver.B SHU(SH) vs Akape(GO)
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tOhize2ELWQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tOhize2ELWQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

1:45- shu has great utilization of /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, variations of it, and sou here.

1:23- holy crap! the stance changing between sou and chou! i love it... akape loses all offensive momentum and ends up getting pounded against the wall.

2.) VF5 ver.B Homestay(AK) vs SHU(SH)
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ukNVwUWHoXc"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ukNVwUWHoXc" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

1:18- i love it how shu has the balls to take a drink right in front of homestay. his shun moves around and stance changes so much in an offensive way that it allows him to do just that.

:10- winning on a bt sou /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif... he gets that mid hitting tap game going and it leads him to (what looks like) an easy winning low chip.

3.) Unknown vs. unknown
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BP2uDf-j0_k"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BP2uDf-j0_k" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

the beginning owns... you know it's true.

4.) VF5 ver.B Chibita(LI) vs SHU(SH) 2
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AiTTm2Re1U0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AiTTm2Re1U0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

2:40- whenever shu gets a /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/u.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif to hit, he always juggles with /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif to get those 4 drinks in even though he's at a huge disadvantage. i have to admit that i too do this... 4 drinks just pays off (unless i'm near death).

2:22- i think he was trying to test something here...

1:44- love the movement into the sabaki.

1:08- that damn chip dmg adding up real fast.

:27- again with the crazy movement to set up for the sabaki

5.) VF5 ver.B Suberi(JE) vs SHU(SH)
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2pKx85RUhuk"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2pKx85RUhuk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

2:50- i NEED to know how the hell shu did this drinking. too damned cool.

2:13- hits a /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif... then another one a couples seconds later ftw.

:25- i like how shu gets away with murder for a whiffed bt sou /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif because jeffry completely freezes up.

overall, i love shu's movement and stance usage, without a doubt the most amusing player to watch in all of vf (imo). the best part about his game is that it doesn't revolve around shun's godlike "taste the rainbow" sabaki; don't count vid #5 against suberi... he used it a LOT in that match which isn't like shu to do (from the vids i've seen anyway).

6.) VF5 ver.A match SHU(SH) vs ISIII(WO)
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3AN1db3JUWw"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3AN1db3JUWw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

7.) VF5 ver.B SHU(SH) vs Saraman(WO)
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JaopdV3ohxQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JaopdV3ohxQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

8.) VF5 ver.B SHU(SH) vs 8(WO)

9.) Seems older... Shu(SH) vs. unnamed(WO)
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eQH8-FOP5M8"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eQH8-FOP5M8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

 

i love shus style also he is a beast with shun!

 

Great vids, they really show why Shun is so fun to play.

 

If there was a list of players that I would like to challenge at VF it would be first SHU, then Ohsu Akira, and BK Wolf. The game that SHU has is the best mind game rollercoaster ride that I have ever seen, seriously sick. Tribal you should find the matches he has against Wolf, these are some great comeback matches!!!

 

updated with some wolf vids.

 

2.) 1:18 - It does take balls, but also remember that it's important to mix it in because the opponent know that if you go into BT SOU, everything will come out instantly (the sabaki especially, but what I'm referring to specifically is the fact that you can't delay stuff when you're transitioning into BT SOU). For +2 DP, this is something that should be fundamental to your gameplay.

4.) 2:40 - This is actually way better than it was in evo, but you're still left at the mercy of your opponent because you're at a debilitating disadvantage when they techroll. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif//forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/ub.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif will evade a lot of stuff they try to do (unless you're fighting Wolf, who has /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif guaranteed... I'm sure other people have some things guaranteed as well), but if they run in they can 0-frame throw you. It's best to throw it in with a little randomness, otherwise your opponent can use this to play mindgames with you. If you use it only moderately, then your opponent will have less space to pressure you.

5.) 2:50 - This is an awesome movement that I first saw in an Itabashi video. It's /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif (take a drink) > /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif > /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif. the trick is to do it fast, almost as if you're cancelling the backdash with the drink. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif from BT SOU leaves you in SOU, which is one of the reasons it looks so cool. If your opponent tries to punish this movement with long range attacks, BT SOU /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif> /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif should kill them but good /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif (screw you Lion!)

2:13 - It's all about doing the unpredictable. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

 

There are 2 matches that he has against Wolf where they are both wearing dark outfits and on Akira's stage. These are hell of a good matches where you think that wolf is going to win but SHU goes on his crazy comeback rollercoaster ride!!! They are both 5 round matches and fun to watch. They are located on the
hk-vf.net, I dont know if they are on youtube or not yet. Tribal remember not all of SHU's greatest matches are his wins sometimes you can learn something from your losses new tricks or styles of play!!!

 

i know i just haven't been able to find any of those yet ^_^.

 

Are there any videos that have a higher frame rate? Cause I'd love to see some so the fight looks better.

 

SHU's blog has some stuff.

Man... SHU's mobility is insane. Now stop me if I'm wrong, but are some of Shun Di's moves NOT in command training?

The one I'm most interested in, but haven't seen is the attack where Shun waves his arms in a circular motion while standing and advancing towards the oppenent while screaming "WHAAAAAAA!". I just don't see it command training.

Nevermind, I got it. Now I just got to figure out how to fit it into a combo really well with some good ol' fashioned notes.

 

it's only his best move, try your damndest to fit it in.

 

What's the command for it?

 

Think he's talking about the sabaki of badassery. If he is, it's p+k from his backturned so koku kyuu stance.

 

here ya go:

This is probably a stupid question but I'm watching this Shu video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVDs08cDk14

At the beginning of the second round he uses a string twice in a row. He also uses it pretty often. It doesn't look like /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif to me, the second p seems to be a mid. What is that?

 

go into the dojo and find out.

 

If I could find it I wouldn't be asking.

Edit: He's hitting /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif and then hitting /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif so fast that I didn't notice the stance change.
