    Alright I couldn't help but post this one also.
    For guys who are too lazy to browse through that user's channel playlist (They're all Homestay vids I think. Haven't checked them all yet) This one is a must-see!!

    Joseph (AK) and Homestay (AK)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isxEqH1LRDw

    They're desperately trying to kill each other in that vid! And I keep wondering how in the world Homestay keeps making those comebacks every time!

    Joesph woulda taken that last round if he threw in some lows imo. Great match.

    Would have won if he finished off the combo @3:06 by the looks of it.

    It looks like Homestay has two cards and each one has amazing win ratio! Seriously I have no idea how they defense that way~

    FlamingMoe, on the previous page, linked to some of the matches on this channel and they're all Homestay Akira matches, some with some amazing comebacks.

    I remember someone in the past posting something similar -- this person happened to grab a bunch of Homestay's saved replays and uploaded them. But, I can't seem to find that old thread?

    Thanks Seidon, that's the one I was thinking of.

    I wonder if there's any relation between ultra0034 and ktl0127, apart from both having absolute kick-ass videos of Homestay?

    Wow, I thought Game Center Arashi was long gone...

    It's interesting to read the video comment though, and it reminds me of something Kamaage mentioned that he didn't like about FS. Backdashes seem really powerful.

    At 1:10 you see Akira guard Jacky's [6][P], so Akira is at +5. Akira responds with SDE, but Jacky's backdash into high angle nails the whiffed attack for a decent combo. It also occurs at the end of the match when Akira lands [P] giving +5, and does a DE instead which also whiffs to Jacky's backdash high angle.

    Anyways, as strong as the backdash now seems, it still comes at high risk with new backdash staggers guaranteeing free launchers.

    Does that situation actually become more interesting with more things to think about? What would've happened if he'd used OM or a side kick or other fast long range attack?

    Well, if you hit a backdash you net a CH now. Some have combo potential where it normally wouldn't.

    It's just another risk/reward situation.

    @ Myke

    I haven't played FS, but I think of SDE as having some range, about like a middle kick. So if SDE doesn't work to stagger backdash in this situation, would a mid kick?
