Latest Yang Super Street Fighter 4 developer blog post translated

Posted — October 16, 2010 at 12:51 p.m. PDT

The Japanese Super Street Fighter 4 development team posted a blog running down some of the abilities of Yang in the upcoming game, which was recently translated.

Since this is a translation, it may not be 100% accurate. Hit the jump for the entire post.

About Yang, Blog Post No. 1

Greetings. This is the Developer Blog.

The release date for new costumes on home consoles has been announced. We put our all into making them, so please do enjoy these as well!

This time brings us the younger brother of the twins, Yang. I'd like to talk about his normal moves.

As in Street Fighter 3 Third Strike, his style is similar to Yun's. SSF4 Arcade Edition's tuning continues that approach.

He fights with quick attacks at short to medium range, stopping the enemy from acting with closely spaced strings. He is a character who pressures his opponent with a combination of strikes and grabs.

The potential of his short-range moves is extraordinarily high, so "how to get close to the opponent" should be an important point.

Since his debut, his stamina has been below average, so he cannot afford to take heavy damage. Please be cautious of this.

Normal attacks

Like Yun, Yang has the same lineup of normal moves that he did in SFIII:3S.

From among those, I think I'll bring up a few for representative purposes.

Standing Light Punch has significantly short recovery time, and a long reach compared to most light attacks.

It can be used as a poke, and leads to various combos on hit.

Close Medium Kick: like in SFIII:3S, connecting with this will put the opponent into a juggle state for follow-up damage.

Once again, it can be jump-canceled on hit or block in order to continue your offense.

Crouching Medium Kick is central to his offense, Yang's attack of choice.

Like in SFIII:3S, it is special-cancelable, comboing into Tourou Zan (Fist Slashes) for example. I think you will find quite a lot of chances to make use of this.

From long range, Yang can use Far Hard Punch as a poke. It takes a little while to extend, but you can aim to land some good hits at the fingertip area.

Unique Attacks (Command Normals)

Yang has 2 Unique Attacks: Senpuukyaku (Whirlwind Leg) and Raigekishuu (Thunderbolt Kick).

The position at which the twins can start a Dive Kick is similar to Rufus's dive - it won't come out at extremely low altitudes, but the Light, Medium, and Hard versions will descend at varying angles. You may want to make skilled use of these dives to take the fight to close quarters. Senpuukyaku (Whirlwind Leg) is an off-the-ground overhead move. You can use it to evade a low attack while scoring a hit.

Target Combos

There are 3 target combos for Yang.

TC1 (Towards-jump Medium Kick -> Down-Towards + Medium Kick),
TC2 (Standing Medium Punch -> Standing Hard Punch -> Back + Hard Punch),
TC3 (Standing Light Kick -> Standing Medium Kick -> Standing Hard Kick).

TC1 is a Target Combo from Towards-jump Medium kick.

If you use the two strikes skillfully to land a hit on an opponent below you, you'll earn some considerable frame advantage.

TC2 is common to both brothers.

The final hit, activated with Back + Hard Punch, is super-cancelable.

TC3 starts with a Light Kick, so since it comes out fast, there are many opportunities to use this Target Combo.

If all the hits are blocked, Hard Kick will push the opponent back a good distance, so it can be difficult for them to land a counterattack.

TC3 once more includes Standing Medium Kick, but in this game it can be jump canceled. Please look for the possibilities that come from this.

That's as far as I go this time.

Next time I'd like to focus on special moves.

Well, see you next week!

interesting. Something tells me Yun will be shown soon and a few new characters by the end of the month.

wow, nice. LK --> MK can be jump canceled, that should make things interesting ;P

Triforce said on October 16, 2010 at 2:58 p.m.

Yea, now that you mention it Duds, the developer blog would be an awesome way of revealing them.

Wouldn't be surprised if teasers began by next month-just like back when they were teasing Cody.

"The position at which the twins can start a Dive Kick is similar to Rufus's dive - it won't come out at extremely low altitudes"

Hmm, that's an interesting thing to say. I consider the twins' dive kick so much more strict in terms of position that using Rufus's is a breeze. Hopefully that means they will be able to dive a bit lower now.

Now I just need Sean back and I can pull some second impact stunts

Yang pass before Yun? CAPCOM GOT SOME LOVE FOR YANG NOW!?

ShadowNinja215 said on October 16, 2010 at 7:25 p.m.

It looks like Fei Long is Yang's rival. Interesting, I think Gen should be Yang's Rival and Fei Long should be Yun's Rival.

I know the SFA3 rivalry between Yun and Fei-Long is non-canon, however Yun's attitude is more similar to Fei's attitude than Yang's is to Fei's.

im a little confused. All this time i thought yun and yang were identical twins born at the same time, and now they say yang is older....

Lemres said on October 16, 2010 at 7:55 p.m.

This is pretty cool, but I need to see my Karin!!!
Plus i thought that yang was older than yun

Megadautilus said on October 16, 2010 at 8:07 p.m.

Yun is more appealing to me.

Yang is the younger brother. And yes, they're twins.

@kingofthesharks: Identical twins do not have to be born at the same time. If both came out simultaneously it would be quite disastrous.

ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE BADASS AMERICAN WITH A RED HEADBAND MAKES HIS DEBUT, none other than ALEX!!!! not to mention some JAZZY NYC, YES!!!!

GodPride said on October 16, 2010 at 11:12 p.m.

Hem I always thought Yang was the oldest based on his personality. Yun, on the other hand, always seemed younger to me; constantly gets a beating from his girl played for the Lols.

GodPride said on October 16, 2010 at 11:16 p.m.

Hopefully, they don't screw up Alex's theme song if he ever manages to make the cut.

no love for Yun? Why wasnt his developers blog translated?
wasnt mentioned on eventhubs and on srk only the pictures were in the "news" .. and for Yang the whole stuff gets translated? :_( Everybody is already hating on Yun again? :(

Kenshiro said on October 17, 2010 at 5:58 a.m.

^^Lol calm down. Awesome news about TC3. Both brothers should be really formidable. Yun and Yang's standing MK and HK were pretty good deterrents for deep jump-ins and some shallow ones. I'm interested in seeing how that's going to be handled.

TheMasterPlayer said on October 17, 2010 at 6:15 a.m.

Yun and Yang... yeah!

#20

kingofthesharks said on October 17, 2010 at 4:21 p.m.

oh i thought they dive kicked out of mommy at the same time....... but I guess Yun had more priority.

but really I know they dont come out at the same time but if they were conceived together and came out within a very short time after one another I wouldn't count that as Yang being "younger" than Yun. whateva

@21 identical twins are conceived together because they were one fertilized egg splitting into two.

it does count as one being older since technically one was born into the world a few seconds/minutes/hours before the other.

oh and, Yang is awesome. I can't wait to play as him. =]

I enjoy hearing Justin Wong talk about games that have not yet been released such as MVC3 and SSF4AE because the pro's get told things before the public and he always slips up and reveals information.

Yesterday at seasons beatings he said that SSF4AE will be released roughly six months after it's out in December in Japan. So

EXPECT SSF4AE TO BE OUT IN JUNE

or around then and if it doesn't come out in December in Japan expect it to be out six months after whenever it comes out in Japan.
