3-Minute Fundamentals: Option Selects

An Option Select is a joystick or button input which functions as multiple possible actions simultaneously, letting the game engine decide the best counter to a situation. Specific instances allow only certain moves to come out, so you can worry less about your opponents options, and focus more on your own offense. 
 
In my second 3-minute fundamental tutorial (I know it's closers to 4 minutes, I really made it as short and concise as possible) I cover option selects in a general way that you can apply to any character. I go over the main archetypes of OP/SEL, such as Crouch Teching, Meaties (ground & air), and Buffering (ground & air).  Really busted my ass on the editing for this one, feedback is appreciated! Enjoy. 3-Minute Fundamentals Playlist.
  
  

 
edit: Score another for Event Hubs, and my first iplaywinner plug! yeaaahhhh boiiiiii.

Just read all that shit and Mihai, no matter how long he's been in the 'scene' or whatever is a nasty fucker and pretty ignorant or in denial saying that no one who's top tourney level uses this "fancy shit" when it's blatentaly obvious they do all the time. He keeps going on about how it's all about fundamentals and the top level players have both their fundamentals and "fancy shit" locked down. I think he holds himself in higher regard then he actualy is. It's like someone's told him for the first time what these things mean and he's like "Oh yeah!? Yeah! That shit. I don't use any of that. I mean what use is any of it" to cover up. "
I have to deal with this in RL. Hes an a good guy, this is the first time hes done this that i have seen. The worst part is that hes not trolling. he means it "
Well yeah, that's what makes it sad. People out there are actually that ignorant. "
He's got a point. Unless you're constantly doing this and working it into your game then you shouldn't really be teaching other people how to do it. First hand experience works wonders.

Indeed. He did come off as elitist. I mean, I think Ultima's video is good for just introducing people to that technique and showing people what it is, but I think somebody who's looking to "learn to use" so to speak, shouldn't follow that. See, it was fine for me because I didn't know what that was and I'll probably never use it.

But he's wrong, since there isn't anything that I make a tutorial on that I don't use. Snicker please.

I was just playing Darth Arma and he was trying to teach me about a jump in option select against Akuma for when Akuma wake's up and teleports. He said to input tatsu when after jumping in with a roundhouse, if the roundhouse hits then the tatsu won't come out, but if Akuma teleports then the tatsu comes out. 
 
Is there special timing to this? The few times I tried, the tatsu came out when the jumping roundhouse hit.

Are you telling me that before Ultima said that you didn't want a Snickers? If so what kind of life are you leading??

Haha this option select is not going to magically make you win more. Do yourself a favor and go with Ryu if you want a shoto, unless you are prepared to spend a lot of time with Ken, it ain't worth it.

@Stang: Timed similarly to the uppercut one, West does it to me a lot. 
  
@Scooper: Who's arguing that? You can't claim to know my game based on a fight from 5 months ago against a player like JR. Players out of your league don't only make you look worse, but you physically play worse against better players. Mindfuck factor.

Well I never played 3S so I dunno how he plays but I'll certainly try him out. I'll try all the new characters before I even hop onto online. Right now though my plan is to jump strait into training mode the second I get the game and figure out some stuff with DeeJay as he's who I'm probably going to main since I really liked him in Turbo and HDR. Probably try some stuff with Rose and Seth to see how they've changed and see if I can figure out a few stratergies with Rose's Soul Satalites.

Sounds about right, but for me I am going to try Ibuki, Dudley and Guy. I am not touching online until I have all the hard trials done either.

Oh yeah and that. There's bound to be some fucked up hard trial I can't do like in SFIV but I'll definantly do DeeJay's right away along with Ibuki's. She looks fun as hell to play and I like her air super.

I'm torn on the new characters personally, I feel like there's going to be a healthy supply of all characters aside from T.Hawk, and lord knows I don't want to play him (love you though, T. Hawk). I generally like specialist characters, Cody and Guy seem to fit that the closest, I am still excited to play Dee Jay the most though (he's the only person I really enjoy in Super Turbo, aside from Fei). I can eliminate the females since I don't play women, Dudley looks awesome of course, but will be played by everyone.
