Heppoko Lau's 2.0 Twitter Tech

Creating this thread to archive and document the twitter tech of Japanese Lau player, Heppoko Lau!
X Profile: https://x.com/heppoko_lau

I encourage other people to contribute to this thread to keep it up to date as a community is better at keeping it that way than one person.

That said, the following information should be included:

• Embedded Videos From the Tweet (This will include the tweet actually)
• "Translation of the Tweet" (you can use any translator, including the Google Translate option on X)

I also encourage people to comment on the technique and make this a lively discussion too (or create another thread on the topic to keep VFDC conversations more lively)!

Transcribing the sequences/combos from the videos is not necessary, but it would be wonderful. I will try to help with this sometimes, but sharing the links and cataloguing takes higher priority and I don't want to make this archival process too much work per contribution. It is really easy to fall behind on archiving twitter tech when you're trying to be perfect.

Also, it is okay if the translation is not perfect. Keeping these things documented is top priority and I encourage people to add commentary about the tweet or its translation too, but it is not mandatory.

Simply sharing is caring here ^_^

REMINDER: VF5US was updated to 2.0 approximately December 12th, 2024

FINALLY: If you do have an account on X, I do think it's good to like and retweet Heppoko's posts to help spread awareness of his efforts and Lau Tech!

I'll start with Heppoko's ADVICE FOR PLAYING 2.0 when it launched.

Note: When I have time I will convert notation to VFDC format, but I will often just type it out the way I'm used to or copy paste from personal notes first.
(But I will setup a stream deck config for making good VFDC posts like Akai has done!)

NOTE: Later tonight I will embed the videos. That said, note to @Myke to properly embed, I have to change the URL to say Twitter--I don't mind this personally but just a heads up ^_^

 

Learning as I post here about what to expect if I put up a lot of Twitter videos and it seems like a possible limit per post.

Right now it looks like...

• I will make the first post link to tweets without posting all the videos (so reader will have to click on the link to watch the video) because it seems like there are limits on how many embeds per post and when it'll stop loading, at least on Safari.
• I might be posting Heppoko's tweets almost individually. We will see how this all works!

Double Upper Combo up to Middleweight (Video)
"[Lau's small joke] Sako Reppa counter >P> 46K+G > 66K+G > 44PK+G goes up to the middleweight class. Foot position doesn't matter.
The closing score is higher for 44PK+G than 33PPK. Will it change to 66K+G > or 4PK+G from now on? "

Taka Combo (Video)
"[Lau was a little mad] If you do a horizontal counter against Takaarashi, you can get 46K+G > 44PPPPK."
