<br><div>Not skipping over any of the earlier questions, but I wanted to know more about these questions.</div><div><br></div><div>I’m very flattered that you remember the 5 Principles of 3rd Strike, can you tell me what they are?? LOL, I’m sorry it’s been a while and I probably have a different concept of the game now.

I need to remind myself of that, and I’ll be using this quote to improve on some areas, because I totally forgot about this! Did Croyd really state me on this? I actually had totally forgotten where I said this or more importantly when I said it. I would love to hear him quote me!</div>

123

Those videos were really helpful.  My friend and I had been playing for a few months before they came out and had no idea what we were doing.  Then those videos came out and served as our starting point for actually exploring what the game is about and how you play it.  There’s definitely a handful of players like us who basically came in with OE who got a lot of use out of those.

124

Lol it’s all good it was unfair of me t<span style=“font-family: ‘lucida grande’, ‘Lucida Sans Unicode’, tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 1.7em;”>o ask questions about videos that were so old.  I watched the video again and now I have a understand of what CRoyd said.  He explained crystal clear I was just being stupid lol.   If I’ve learned anything it’s that ideas can evolve or change completely.</span><div><div><br></div><div>The video is super old it’s from like 2011.  Here is a link if you wanted to see it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt2hgGCvUYw </div></div><div>He makes the statement at the the 10 min mark.</div>

125

 The 5 principals were parry ability, execution, knowledge of the game, yomi, and luck.  What’s your concept now if I may ask?  Sorry I’m asking so many got damn questions lol but this shit is interesting to me.

126

What is your mentality/reasoning when dealing with momentum shifts? I play ken/akuma mostly and I rely on momentum/pressure a lot against my opponents (for most of the damage in a round following an initial opening). This usually forces them into the same type of game (unless they’re natural turtles) but sometimes you mess something up or make a few bad calls and the momentum you’ve built up is turned against you. If you do (or think of) something particular in this type of situation, what do you do? Just to give an example of what I mean: I used to have strategy back when I was a lot scrubbier that if I get cornered I have to accept my failure of getting cornered and accept being thrown (while still looking for overheads). This opposed to, instantly trying to climb back into the game too rashly and taking risks when you are in the worst position in the game.<br>

Wait, you’re answering questions about 3rd Strike, in that case, I’m not sure if you’re open to this, but I was hoping you could watch this match at a recent tourney and see where I went wrong, since you’ve been doing this for way longer than I have<br>

I forgot I watched this but didn’t post to help you, and tell you that your answer is in a lot of the answers so far. So don’t worry if you didn’t get a direct answer, you can still learn if you look at a few things that you may not have otherwise.<br><br>Time to dissect this and get the topic back on track, even if it may have run its course and shitposts turned it into something else, like all the other 3rd Strike SRK topics.<br><br>Remember not to take offense but really think critically why you lost too and agree of course that you need some work.<br><br>Alright, you have this panic when you’re knocked down. EX Spinning bird to get Hugo off you. Scary guy that Hugo, you don’t want him near you. But that shouldn’t be your only escape, this isn’t like Street Fighter 4. Don’t worry I played that and have a silly exchange of me doing wakeup EX bird first vs Ultra Hadoken (As a reaction… or option select or do an Ultra you probably win you can’t even be thrown out of Ultra Hadoken startup…), Ryu’s fireball doesn’t get stuffed and it comes out, good trade for him, he wins with the giant explosion while flying backwards lotsa invulframes airplane METSU Dragon Ball Z cutscene duckface Ryu. Completely stupid. * In a lot of ways, but you can also learn from my major mistake why are you wasting meter and being so scared to panic EX bird on wakeup everytime instead of finding room to escape and you have a lot of options.<br><br>[ * ] [ Same situation I thought I’m dead but meaty Psycho Crusher went Bison ahahaha at that. Crazy properties looking not very consistent but I didn’t look too far into how those are working and the moves are generally different properties comepletely I’m sure. ]<br><br>That can go in like matchup experience or tournament nerves and overall experience (wake up timings, escape options, or just watching what your opponent is doing and can do with risk reward).<br><br>For execution and gameplay knowledge improvement we have this next thing.<br><br>So you have the round won. All you have to do is chip him out or hit him once right? Shit’s worked a million times in casuals, online, where nothing is on the line and you’re not in a broken rhythm.<br><br>You mindfucked yourself by not playing for the win, but backing up and throwing a Chun-Li Fireball at what you thought is a safe range. Is that a good idea in retrospect? A slow, telegraphed (spacing with walk back) 1 hit parry? I forgot what he did to escape but he clearly took care of that and turned the momentum around in his favor carrying it into the next round and game.<br><br>Why should an easy win chipout for you work vs any good player or tournament player in a win or die situation?<br>What if you’re able to walk up & lightning legs give him more to parry and possibly not escape from?<br>What if you don’t have a flowchart to think, I just have to one hit him, but give him a normal move that can also be cancelled… even to Chun Fireball, probably not a true blockstring though, heh. Slow and pretty useless the 3s Chun Fireball.<br><br>What if you have shown you can walk up lightning legs but whiff low forward then lightning legs? (Checkout if that’s possible, I wouldn’t know)<br>Walk back… Kara throw<br>In Range for Kara throw, whiff stand jab, Kara Throw<br><br>None of those are guaranteed either of course but don’t worry about what went wrong with that and setup the situation again in training and think it over what else was a better idea to win the round. Back Fierce x Lightning legs or something completely insane that can take more execution too is a future if you want to go there. Hey back fierce, max range so you’re not clean parried and cancelled to flipkick as a reaction to the parry for a different timing than other 1-2’s.<br><br>I had an American sports metaphor here on veteran basketball players don’t make mistakes near the end of a game and can close it out. Playoff games wont have “lob city” easy dunks and 3 pointers playing NBA Jam the whole game where refs bail you out of contact. But maybe “Alex Valle said the healthbar is the greatest mindgame” - Maj recalled that, could probably help more.<br><br><br>

136

yeah I hate that, where you get in a mindset where you think “oh I only need to chip him out to win.”  then you start playing ultra safe and end up losing the round from being afraid to do anything.  I’ve been thinking lately that I should just ignore lifebars completely.  never change how I’m playing because I’ll either screw myself up or be predictable because they’ll know exactly what I want to do.

137

There was something else around here too for other people’s advanced thought process using lifebars though.<br><br>“You’re in a situation where the next Combo/Super and following mixup can kill”<br><br>Post got erased for some reason. I’m a lose a whole lot, not good player but there was something else in that post that yeah hey I do think about that too, I forgot it by now though. Dang. Better post some of these other things I started but didn’t finish myself.<br><br>Just relating to the teaching part way back there though. Given an inch, taking a mile here.<br><br><br>Teaching is ridiculously tough. Not everybody can do it or make somebody better, Kobe’s biggest alleged curse, “He doesn’t make anybody better.” I used to be a star pupil of my karate dojo. So sometimes I would lead the class when our sensei wasn’t around. He put me in charge. Man I was terrible at teaching anything. But I could do anything as the best, longest tenured student of the class. I had more experience than anyone else had or they weren’t really there to put in the same amount of effort I did for myself to constantly learn. Nobody really related to that.<br><br>----<br><br>I knew I should’ve talked about teaching is really hard even if you get to a high level and that I couldn’t manage it with martial arts.<br><br>Several times getting humbled. Took a year off. “Hey don’t stand like that, that’s for advanced kata actually.” But that’s kinda where the similarities ended. “Don’t want to talk about it” got punched in the face by a girl right in the eyeball during a sister school tournament over here. Probably cried. Hey, eyeball. Natural reaction.<br><br>This was a girl black belt, but not close to same weight class she was a heavyweight! My wrists are tiny over here… and I think I flailed while getting rushdowned so she got hit in the face. And cried. Time for unavoidable payback that people were going to cheer for, shit man. “You did… whatever but she had a clean hit” My sensei telling me this. I called her sensei earlier during bows and whatever, but she corrected it as Sempai.<br><br>I don’t know, got close as possible to black belt but didn’t get there myself. But I hurt some black belt whiz kid guy by doing the wrong technique in tournament. Too rough, self defense style kick gave him a bruise near his kidneys. Not for points and exhibition sparring with the right speed but its held back on the strike. But I think he needed that at the time while I needed way more speed and technique. Heard he went on to top 3 at a world tournament with a bruised and bloodied face on the podium getting medals. Those people from other countries didn’t hold back.<br><br>Now I’m also remembering<br>Teach showed us a VHS tape once from Japan though. “Don’t tell anybody about this” Girls division, ruthless, everybody getting punched in the face, like 2 rams headbutting non-stop. I don’t remember if this was before or after my own experience over here so it could’ve helped or I could’ve been the butt of the jokes.<br><br>Should’ve stopped with just the lead in to getting punched in the face by a girl story, but it was a fun trip back memory lane here.<br>

Be like water my friend.

The inability to adapt leads to destruction. Learn to adapt oneself to ever-changing circumstances. What may once garner great results may crash badly at other times. In situations where pace and play style affects your performance, try and see which works best for you. Mix it up and always adapt. Be honest with your personal intuition.
