Anyone care to critique me?

Not a great player by any means and usually only invest serious time on weekends off but I recently uploaded some matches.

I’m a long time lurker here at SRK and figured I sign up and ask for help. So if you see any glaring mistakes or have any tips to improve my Vega -OR- Marduk that would be great.

i’ll give the first vid a go.

@87 on timer you had a better option than just a standing fierce off the wall bounce. At a minimum you should have cMKxxST

@84 Man you really love standing fierce as a poke don’t you. It’s not a poke you want to regularly use. Use it when you know it’ll hit. Otherwise use something with a little less startup and recovery.

actually looking at the vid there’s a whole slew of problems I’m seeing. You took unnecessary damage due to:

-Not blocking jump ins
-Not hit confirming
-Not using low startup/low recovery pokes
-Not utilizing your range effectively
-Being extremely predictable
-Wakeup super

You let the opponent live longer than he should due to:

-Being extremely predictable
-Not maximizing damage output
-Not adjusting to your opponent’s habits (you actually won because he didnt adjust to you either)
-Not utilizing meter effectively (rounds 2 and 3 you used it almost as soon as you got it and most of those were whiffs)

Things you did good:
-You didnt get caught pressing buttons on wakeups much (now you just need to block them jump ins)
-You did easy combos into tag. (Making sure you don’t drop the combo always takes priority over maximizing damage output)

  • AA reactions/reads are good when they occur

That’s from me watching the vid once.

just my 2 cents
