I though it was pretty funny tbh, Juicebox was obviously feeling it with all the swaying about and ‘ultra dancing’
Are you guys telling me that you don’t do shit like that? If I beat someone good online I’ll quite often do something daft, or say something out loud like “OMG PHYSIC ULTRA!!1”
Might just be me tho…
I’ll showboat a bit when I’m playing casuals with friends who I know won’t take offense to it. Kiss my muscles and such. But I wouldn’t do it to some stranger. Especially when it looked as lame as Juicebox’s karate moves did. No offense Juicebox. 
I bet if someone made an animated gif of his showboating, it would become an LOL sensation in the street fighter community for a while. 
I have to admit, that ultra celebration thingy does look hilarious, not sure in a bad or good way though LOL
I’d be like, WOAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!
Yeah that first time I went for another cr.HP and failed. The second time he focus-cancelled so i couldn’t punish.
As far as not committing to the mixup, I would disagree that blocking means that I’m not looking for damage. I’m blocking specifically to bait shoryus, which is very important in the Ryu/Sagat/Ken/Akuma matchups. If he doesn’t shoryu, I’m at close range and can continue the rushdown most of the time.
Thanks very much for all of the comments everyone. Next year I’ll make top 8, top 4, top 2, top 1.
he forced sagat to lose 2 EX bars and left him meterless with the 2nd reset. Even though Juicebox couldn’t punish that there alone is pretty big.
Anyone got the link to the Abel infinite loop combo on nicovideo? Youtube only has the loop part and I remember someone mentioned that there’s other stuff on that video such as dealing with Boxer jabs. Thanks.

My mistake man. I totally didn’t see he fadc’d when I watched the video the first time. 
Thanks! That was what I was looking for.

i’m pretty average but i make stupid mistakes that cost me alot in the end.
feel free to comment, constructive criticism is welcome.
It’s really those stupid mistakes that cost you some of the matches. I didn’t watch all the matches, but you forget to punish headbutts and shoryus a lot. Also, use fwd mk after that block string once in a while and cancel cr.roundhouse into something if you’re going to use it.
You’re pretty good though :).
I watched a few matches, and every time you had an opportunity to land a damaging combo, you just did cr. jabs. You can easily do something simple like cr. hp -> hp falling sky,TT, or cr. mp cod (add fadc cr. hp for more damage, noticed you hardly used your super meter anyway), which knocks them down and gives you another mixup attempt for double or triple the damage.
you actually did pretty well on execution but it seemed like when Balrog was in you face you didnt know what to do nice combo in the first vid in the beginning with cr mk - > COD -> fadc -> cr. fp -> Ultra
Me (abel ) vs Opt1mas primal
this is pretty much my first day back playing SF4. I have a arcade stick now and relearning the entire game all over again, just took the fun out of the game. I cant win a single round of any match I play in g2 now. I wish I could reset and play competition my current rank and not my old skill level.

Optimas making a huge comeback down 2 -0 with rather huge victories by me the first 2 rounds. (guess he was thrown off by my scrubiness)
