Super Street Fighter 4 AE: Chun-Li 12-fireball combo by Desk

.................is there anything he can't do?

fight in major tournies?

Let it all out #2

Dat Kikoken!!

I don't understand. Why didn't he continue to do the loop at 0:05? It didn't really seem to push back that much.

#2 Cuze u do ?

"Jealousy"

inb4 the stream of "nice combo, but can you beat another player?" comments.

These are combo videos, not "Look how good I can beat this other dude" videos, people. -_-

#2 was just stating the same thing Desk has already said. He's gdlk at finding and executing combos, but competitive, and tournament-level competitive play, are not his strengths. Different set of skills required.

Now, #8? That's hating.

#5 Chun-li would get to close to Rufus if he would continue.

go in a tournament and stop doing this nerdish things :D i'd like to see your chun brating a toptier

LMFAO

Speds don't understand what a combo video is.

Speds PLEASE never change

#8 You 'mirin execution?

He has amazing execution and even sets up a camera for his hands on a lot of his vids. Calling him a fraud of all people is silly to say the least.

I'll give him credit for execution, but I don't get why you'd make combo videos for combos that practically no one will ever use due to inefficiency and inversatility. Seems like an exercise in futility, unless you just absolutely love showing off. Also, Project Dolphin makes my ears cry and bleed at the same time.

He does this because he doesn't want to be good he just has fun finding neat things about fighting games. Hes not trying to show how good he is, just cool things hes found. It doesn't matter if its impractical its still neat to watch

@15: Open combo systems are sandboxes. Some people like exploring. Some are exceptional at it. Not everything having to do with fighters has to be for tourney play.

It's all about the awesome things you can (or could) do in this game. It's about flashiness, skill, and patience to find this cool combos.

Yo for real Desk should go to a EVO next year. He'd be like a special guest. Or any other major.

Damage scaluing realy shou stop at 20~25%. theres no damned point in any of these combo with how badly is drops in strength.

btw lul /inb4stun

@17

Some are exceptional at finding things that none have use for. Cool, I guess. Since you compared it to a sandbox, I'm going to use a Minecraft reference and say finding this combo is the equivilent of finding Minecraft's largest Gravel deposit.

jezus christ just stfu, sit back, relax and enjoy the goddamn combo's. do you guys have a pathologic need to criticize and try to take away credit from everything? does it make you guys feel better or are you just happy that you can throw out some comments that you think makes you look legit, and that to people who don't give a f*ck about what kind of bs comes out of you.

@21 It's nothing like finding gravel. It's more like building a super complex Rube Goldberg machine out of pistons and red stone and non-physics blocks. It's showing people something that we didn't know was possible and in a really flashy way.

Now, the "these combos are pointless/beat a real person/these combos are inefficient" comments, they're like a giant pile of gravel. Totally useless and taking up space where something worthwhile could be.

wow I was getting worried, it's been almost a week since Desk posted a Chun-Li vid!

@23 I was thinking the same thing. It's not legs though. Never the less good stuff Desk.

@21

umad?

@22

So a completely useless combo in a fighting game is like a completely useful machine in a building game, then? You know your similes, my friend. Infallable logic. Showing something flashy and useful is the same as showing something flashy and useless, now.

And people should refrain from anything other than positive feedback in a comments section because...? I could say the exact same thing about the positive comments and this video and have just as valid of a statement as you do, but I don't like looking retarded with my blatant double-standards. ;]

@10 You don't think going to tournies is nerdish... but this is?

@25 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rube_Gol...

I don't think you know what a Rube Goldberg machine actually is.

Useless combo? It causes damage, doesn't it? There are more effective ways to cause that same amount (more) damage? Well... the same things applies to a Rube Goldberg machine.

You made yourself look like an idiot :P.

sick...desk FTW, but i never seen this online ):

Who cares if you can use this combo or how bad Desk is in actual fights.
It's always nice to see him do new things that we didn't see before. He shows everyone what can be done in this game.

@27

I was focusing on the comparison that he'd made, brainiac. It's quite obvious that you weren't. Sure, if he'd stopped at "it's a flashy Rube Goldberg machine," you'd be right, but he didn't, so you aren't. The same ineffectiveness applies to a Rube Goldberg machine, not to something "we didn't know was possible."

Pay better attention next time, please? :]

Well they're entertaining to watch. Would be great to see them in real action. He'd be the next daigo if he could pull it off in a real match. Those are my two pesos.
