i feel like this one needs a lil background to it because it's amazing:basically in alpha 2 there's a technique called the 'valle cc' which is effectively entering the custom combo mode (where they can chain anything together) and doing a sweep as to confirm a sweet combo that puts you into a good spacing position (usually cornered to close to it). the big thing is that you can't block the sweep on reaction to the activation of the custom combo mode. it drastically changes the up close and midrange game drastically because suddenly you can't easily walk forward/back as much without risking eating a valle cc because you -had- to be preemptively blocking. plus it could be used to punish a lot of stuff that was otherwise considered 'safe'it's called the 'valle cc' because alex valle was the one who used it/came up with it and ended up blindsiding folks with it specifically at this tournament (battle by the bay 3, which was supposedly like a mini-evo at the time)- very few people had seen it, and in grand finals you can watch as john choi actively adapts and uses the valle cc against the dude who came up with it.plus it's just good ass street fighteredit: oh lol it's in the vid description. but yeah. it's cool as hell and a great 'lil piece of history
