Hey guys, just won my first tourney!

I’m very happy and a lot of things were thanks to you guys. I’ll be posting the matches as they come up.

This is the losers finals against a Zangief.

Just checked and saw that the video is a bit choppy. I guess it was the guys decoder. Gonna clip the JustinTV later.

Was there any particular reason why you didn’t go for the TT in certain situations?

be more specific instead of “certain situations”.

unless for punishing obvious stuff, TT is never safe so thats probably a reason.

I think he means you should try more tick throws if DJ is going to block all day. Except the DJ was trying to jump a lot and did not adapt very well to Storms rush down. lol to the roll in the corner though :D. Other than that pretty good links.

I noticed Dee Jay blocked a lot in the second match. When he did try to jump in the first match it was shut down which deterred him even further in the 2nd. During the second match a TT definitely would of landed after a step kick or some ticks.

Normally I try to get them scared of the TT before applying ticks and stuff. If that was me I probably would of went for one early. Im sure this is one of the reasons i lose as much. I’m trying to grasp the thought process behind the use of TTs.

Do you see any points in the video where a TT would not necessarily land, but at least be a good guess?

Hey Guys, got some of my final matches in the tourney here from JustinTV. We’re in Brazil and I faced a Zangief in the Losers finals and then a Blanka in Finals and Grand Finals.

Hope you guys comment.

There’s an issue I have with Abel, which is brought up here, in that he requires you to guess to win sometimes. No matter how good you get at guessing you’re always going to guess wrong sometimes. So, it’s better to win on solid play and only rely on your high risk mix ups if you must. You’ll get more consistent wins that way I think. Even so, I still rely on TT more than I should, but I find I use it less and less as I become better.

I don’t tt a lot. So when I do use it, it lands. TT is awesome but i have taken some big danger trying to do one. I like them trying to avoid Tt more so than me landing it. It allows me to land c.lk to s.fp links to big damage. There are some matches i use it more though depending on the player.

Here’s a really nice Abel match vs. Chun Li.

Hey guys, sorry to be a bother but can anyone comment any of my videos?

Good execution, low level ganeplan/ approach. Good chun wouldnt let him jump ib all day. Lol @ step kick -> c.mp

Probably bene posted, but I like this a lot.

Funny, but risky as fuck. It wouldn’t be too useful unless you knew whoever you’re playing doesn’t press buttons and has shit reactions

I actually showed this to HAV offline when I thought of it, then made a video and shared with Busta. Forgot to post it on here though, thanks.

lol so people you play, back dash on reaction? Lemme get a game of theory fighter sometime. I won’t tell you how to use the technique properly if you can’t just look at it and tell.

LOL yeah that is bad ass. I prefer timing my CoD to use the full combo to punish the grounded frames of their recovery. that would work too… you can always just raw ultra, even with Soulless, if you are feeling extra badass except timing it takes 90% doctorate level SF Science and 10% extreme luck

That’s not what I meant - CoD has a shit ton of start up - throw that on the end of a blocked st.lk and you’re already at a massive frame disadvantage. It’s throwable, pokeable and comboable on reaction. Sure, it’s good to throw in if you’ve had your step kick back dashed after the same set up, but by no means is it foolproof. That’s all I’m saying.

Of course it isn’t foolproof. If they’re not back dashing, they’re either blocking/doing a reversal/jumping/getting hit. But how do you get them to never want to back dash again?

Point being is, when a character has a back dash like Chun-Li’s…you gotta make them stop somehow. It’s only a tool to set up your fundamental mix ups with. If they’re not back dashing as it is, great, roll them up with 50/50’s.
