Utopia, Part 2

To finish up Street Fighter 4, I figured I'd mention some one more character who the outside community wouldn't know (partially due to him being new). Here, we have Rufus, the ultimate American stereotype. Fat, arrogant, yet surprisingly quick and strong, Rufus is a hideously good rushdown character. He has the highest amount of combos into ultra in the game, though Ryu's are easier to setup. In addition, because of his size, he plays footsies rather well, and his dive kick lets him actually approach aerially (god forbid). In addition, he has the mighty EX Messiah Kick, which is probably the best move in the game due to its great startup invincibility and ability to FADC into ultra. To finish up his rushdown ability, good tick throws and blockstrings let him do things regardless of the opponent's blocking ability.

Here in this video, we have Justin Wong repping his Rufus against Chris Hu's Ryu. While Hu does miss a few FADC ultras in the video (due to nerves, stupidity, whatever), he still shows he's a high calibur player against Wong's Rufus, while Wong shows off Rufus' potential at such a high calibur in this game. There's not much in particular I can comment on here, because its all done so well.
