Work on fake telegraphing your actions. if you’re like a majority of the players I’ve played in 3s, you might have a stance you go to before grabbing. Like, JRod does this thing where he grabs you once, walks back and then blocks low. Once you wake up, if you didn’t uppercut he does karagrab. Many a Ken player will do this. Chun players do this a lot in the corner.
This will help gradually introduce you to sggk, warning.
whiff a jab as they’re standing up then immediately shin sho right after
works every time
Billy K minimizing his involvement in the organisation of the tournament to look less like a con. 
Cool interview.
Jumping in reaction to the throw itself… sorry that isn’t happening. If they are not guard jump’ing, SJ os’ing then they are either holding up (possibly covered by an instant air parry) or they are jumping in reaction to a predicable throw setup. As I do not know who you are playing and have no examples I cannot tell you want they are doing or what you can do to counter.
Watson got me with this just last Thursday. Instead of ShinSho he used whiff -> grab, though.
^hasn’t he been doing that for like 75 years?
I use Dudley. It sounds like its just a case of working on mixups then so if I do go for a throw its not predictable.
could be. I only ever really called him for uoh shenanigans.
wasn’t whiff grab into stuff C-Royd’s signature?
how do you guys feel about mirror matches for characters you play? what’s it like, are you good at it, stuff like that.
Personally, I always expect them to go the routes I do. The general games, compared to mine, tend to be really bare bones where you go straight to the 50/50s instead of working your way to them and the general poke game. Then again, I think maybe that’s just because I’m always trying to pull them out of their game and have the general knowledge required to do so. I would wager a guess that I make it possible for them to go for 50/50s all the time.
Would make sense considering that the few chars whose 50/50s I’m still not entirely familiar with are Q and Twelve. Maybe Sean. I would’ve added Remy to the last but Tebbo has been a huge help in that area.
Gouki mirror is not fun! BNBs do up to 50% damage in this matchup, and thats without meter!
Depends on the character a lot.
Some characters seem a little ‘meta’ if you will, in that they have normals and other functions which have good use usually against the shoto types/sizes.
So like Remy - Remy is just kind of ugly and weird.
but Ryu - Ryu doesn’t even seem like a mirror match.
Alex mirror is some retarded shit.
hugo mirrors are ok, but 12 mirrors has to be one of the most retarded matches in 3S. .l.
I don’t mind Gouki mirrors mostly. They can go really fast though, as Pherai pointed out. If I can’t punish random tatsus for any reason then I get pissed quick. Depending on the type of player there can be a whole of fly around the screen which can be fun to watch. Yuki Otoko vs Uraken is one of the most entertaining matchups I can think of.
I hate playing Urien mirrors. It’s either super random/retarded or quite dull if both players chose to play safe (which is actually the only consistent gameplan for the mirror in my experience). Fat hitbox means cHP lifts from farther away than in most matchups but of course it’s a huge double edged sword
regarding secondary characters, I love playing ken mirror. I’d play ken mirrors alone for hours and wouldn’t get bored of that.
Arnel vs Mr universe was one of the best mirrors I got to see frequently back in the good ol days of super
They’re okay, I’d take Dudley mirror matches any day over playing endless shotos.
I can usually tell the other guy is mad when they mirror match me with Denjin.
