no hatin, but bustabust still has leagues away from shiro. i blame the failure of promoting sf4 in america in general.

this is a great idea.

Great this is what this site needed, not that it wasn't perfect already

I love how organized it is too

GREAT IDEA

Yeah good idea. And yeah the Japanese Abel is superior to the American one.

Perfect!

And I loved that match between El Fuerte and Abel. Wonderful.

Posted by Discipline on March 19, 2009 at 1:47 p.m. #12

amazing idea! i always wanted to see a talented abel in action! some of his combos are so high damage

Posted by YOOOO! on March 19, 2009 at 2:14 p.m. #13

I want too see an Akuma pro vs a Sagat pro that would be a good match.

Posted by SK on March 20, 2009 at 3:32 a.m. #16

Gnarly idea! I'm loving this.

Posted by ED on March 20, 2009 at 7:12 a.m. #17

Great idea, but you guys are sure to have problems choosing the battles. I'm thinking you're going to get twousands of videos to watch, since everybody would like their battle to be here. =p

im trying to learn abel and its so hard to find videos on him. thanks for posting these videos, youtube is hard to find specific sf4 vids.

i have trouble dashing with these console controllers though. anyone got any good tips for the sf4/ps3 controllers?

Cool, american players, lol. I knew about Shiro but I hadn't seen BustaBust. Abel's so awesome in the hands of a good player. I consider myself a good Abel player, but I often times messed up simple things and pay for it. Also, I really need to practice my crouch HP -> dpP combo and my dash canceling.

Posted by ganamoy on March 22, 2009 at 12:11 p.m. #20

please add more videos i love watching these

Posted by Brainsplitter on April 19, 2009 at 12:33 p.m. #21

the best american Abel player out there is actually juicy box Abel, according to several tournamnet and points stuff. but shiro is defintly the best Abel i've seen so far.

I think bustabust is a little better than shiro simply because, as a fellow abel player, the combos he does are difficult and he lands them perfect every time it seems, while shiro missed a couple of times. But it seems like shiro is better cause he is more offensive. This is just my opinion.

I just discovered this site and I can see it being very helpful. One thing I would suggest would be to post the date that each match was fought so that we can know if the tactics used in the match are outdated or recent.

Posted by James on December 21, 2009 at 4:03 p.m. #24

On video 1 why did bustabust go fir the hit confirm c.hp lk Marseilles lp grab wehn he knew he'd hit? Why not do the c.hp hp grab combo? It's easier and gets more damage.

How 'bout J. Wong vs A. Sabin... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1f9wV...
