Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike/Ibuki/2021

Overview Combos Matchups Strategy Resources

Edit Introduction

Introduction

Ibuki is a kunoichi who would rather live her life as a high school student. She first appears in Street Fighter III: New Generation.

Touting some incredible walkspeed and frame data, Ibuki is a mixup powerhouse that can be frustrating to contend with. Her ability to get frame advantage is startling, and she is often unpunishable by much of the cast. Once she gets started on offense, it can be lights out for the opponent if they can't catch onto her patterns. Another notable aspect is her far reaching and very fast jump, which can be altered by using her Kunai to avoid anti-air attempts and begin her offense.

Super Arts

SA1: Kasumi Suzaku

Kasumi Suzaku automatically turns Ibuki to face the opponent. Strength of button determines angle/distance of knives thrown. Rapidly pressing punch increases number of knives thrown and raises Ibuki higher into the air. Throws 12 knives by default, and up to a maximum of 20. Each knife does 35 attack for a maximum of 335 (scaled damage). The "recovery" listed for each strength refers to the amount of recovery frames Ibuki has once she reaches the ground, it does not include the time it takes for her to reach the ground from the air. It is difficult for some characters to punish, but fast long-ranged supers can punish Ibuki as she lands if it is not properly spaced (or if it is mashed too much).

It offers a large benefit in it's 3 stock capacity, giving Ibuki more access to EX moves for confirms. Damage isn't particularly good and there's few options to actually confirm into the super, but it adds more threat to Ibuki's already strong air game and mixup potential.

SA2: Yoroi Doushi

Yoroi Doushi is an unblockable command grab super. Will not grab airborne opponents. Throw range: 46. While not as useful as the other supers, SA2's damage is still impressive. It can be comboed into with j.HP on some characters, as it will briefly backturn the opponent.

Yoroi Doushi also has an energy blast (fireball) version. This occurs when the grab version fails. It does 13 hits, each hit has 32 attack for a maximum of 280 (scaled damage). The fireball version can reset airborne juggled opponents.

SA3: Yami Shigure

Yami Shigure is a good damage super that is easy to combo into from a plethora of options. It has very fast startup, allowing Ibuki to punish things like blocked Shoto sweeps. Its small stock size keeps it from being used more often, as EX moves enable Ibuki's gameplan and strongest confirms. Still very useful in various matchups, so even players who generally favor SA1 may utilize it on occasion. Strength of button determines angle/distance of knives thrown. Block Advantage: -10 to -6.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Great Movement: Ibuki has a fast and far reaching jump, as well as the fastest walk speed in the game. Furthermore, she has additional ways to vary her movement, such as kunai before landing. This lets her avoid and punish throws or pokes, run varied offense, and get in easily. Plus Frames Dispenser: Ibuki boasts some of the better frame data in the game, easily getting frame advantage on block and very rarely being punishable. Strong Mixups: Ibuki gets a lot of opportunities for continuous looping mixups, allowing her to stay unpredictable and keep the pressure on. Access to options such as a side-switching dash and a significantly plus on block overhead make her pressure hard to deal with. Super Jump Cancels: Has the ability to super jump cancel several normals, allowing her to start mixups on hit and remain safe on block.

Fragile: Some of the lowest health in the game and slow stun recovery means that Ibuki does not take hits well. Stubby Normals: Ibuki's buttons, while fast, often have short range, and several important attacks whiff on some crouching opponents. Throw Range: Ibuki has the shortest throw range in the game, hurting her ability to run strike/throw mixups in some cases. EX Dependency: Ibuki relies heavily on her EX moves, and can struggle to get her gameplan started without them. Her more supers are often ignored in favor of her EX moves as an extension of this. Risk Taker: Ibuki often has to take risks to deal significant damage.

3S Frame Data Glossary
Active	How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for. Consecutive sets of active frames on a multi-hit move are separated by an asterisk (ex: 3*5). If there is a gap between sets of active frames, the gap is denoted by a number in parentheses (ex: 2(4)2)
Attack	Attack level is L for low attacks (must be blocked crouching), H is for High attacks (which can be blocked high or low) and M for overhead (must be blocked standing). T is for throw attacks (which cannot be blocked).
Cancel options	Available cancel options. "ch": Chain cancel (into itself or another light attack), refer to description for options. "self": Self-only chain cancel. Much more restrictive than a standard chain cancel. "tc": Target combo, refer to description for options. Successive attacks in a target combo may warrant their own move entry. "dash": Grounded dashes. "sj": Super jump. "sp": Special move. "su": Super Art.
Damage	Attack damage on hit in life points. Notation may denote multi-hit or "sweet spot" damage values on certain frames.
Hit/Block	These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will end before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. D refers to knockdown on hit. "Cr. Hit" is an additional frame advantage value denoting if the advantage on hit changes when the defender is being hit while crouching.
Kara Range	Almost all normal attacks can be canceled into a special or a multi-button command within three frames of startup. During that time, some attacks will shift position forward or backward and affect the reach of the special or command accordingly. This is denoted in pixels of range. There are a handful of moves in the game that can be kara-canceled after this initial window and will be denoted as a late kara-cancel.
Link	A combo that is performed by inputting the second move after the first move has completely recovered (as opposed to cancelling the first move's animation). In 3S, the final frame of a move's hitstun allows a character to block a normal or special move, as well as some projectile supers. Therefore, an attack's frame advantage must be 2 frames greater than the followup move's startup in order to link. Ex: a +6 normal can link into a 4f normal/special, or a 5f super.
Parry	This field will show a value of A if the attack can be parried standing or crouching, H if it must be parried standing or L if it must be parried crouching.
Recovery	How many frames it takes for a move to finish after it's been active.
Startup	How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or has a hitbox. 3S uses classic startup notation, which does not include the first active frame. A move with 3 startup becomes active on frame 4.
Stun	Amount of stun added to the opponent's stun bar on hit.
Throw range	Range in pixels from the center of the character to the center of the opponent which allows a grab to connect.

Cancel options: sj (2nd hit only, hit/block/parry) vs. crouch block, 2nd hit only connects on Dudley, Hugo, Q, Urien. -Whiffing 2nd hit makes super jump impossible (-14 on block, less pushback). Because the first hit only has 1 active frame, it can be difficult to time on the opponent's wakeup. Very rewarding on hit because of its launch property and ability to be super jump cancelled. Can work as an anti-air, but close jumps will usually make it whiff due to its poor backwards hitbox. 4 kara range Self meter gain: Whiff: 3, Hit: 18, Block: 8.

Generally safe if parried, except to 3f specials/supers or 2f normals (throws can also punish if Ibuki is close enough). Can combo into EX Tsumuji or SA3 on reaction. -Against short crouching characters, cr.MK is a more consistent combo ender than EX Tsumuji. Knocks down vs. airborne opponents. Airborne 10f, Throw invulnerable 12f (until landing), and can hop over many grounded attacks. Self meter gain: Whiff: 2, Hit: 11, Block: 6. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 2, Block: 0.
