hey dude, it doesnt matter if he takes a big chunk of your life or not. you win. thats the point, and sometimes you’ll eat damage to do so. bison doesnt exactly have a lot of life, he’s got average health so don’t be surprised if you end the matches at less than 50 percent.
now im loving your blockstrings, they look really solid and it looks like your execution is excellent. you played against a not so great opponent but you did all the proper things in that situation instead of getting over confident, i.e. baiting and punishing appropriately.
some advice: well its not really advice since you did nothing wrong, just some footnotes i guess
-take a look at when you slide. many times you got lucky, dont get too slide happy, i almost never use it anymore along with DR
-hmm he whiffed uppercut alot as you crossed over him but i dont think he used quick stand. if another player does and he sees you jumping over him you can be sure that DP will hit, just watch out.
-great execution i dont think you ever missed a link or missed a punish opportunity, but learn cr.lp, s.lk, CR.MK xx scissors. on hit confirm you can do cr.mk xx roundhouse scissors and its significantly more damage than doing s.lk to cr.lk which i believe you were doing. also against DP mashers (and expect to find this when you play against good opponents because if they know the weak spot in your blockstring you can bet they’ll try it at least once), do cr.lp, s.lp (use jabs on block because they’re far safer because of the big frame advantage you get with jabs on block and they cannot be mashed through) and walk back, bait the DP and punish. next time they’ll be wary if theyre not stupid (i dont know how many times i punish something on some true scrubs and they just keep doing it over and over while im overestimating them thinking they’ve learned the first time and I eat a DP haha) they’ll hesitate and won’t mash that DP. continue your blockstring and get your chip in, go for the tic, or try and bait a counterpoke by cr.lp, s.lk…walk back ever so slightly, cr.mk or cr.mp xx scissors.
overall really solid. id like to see how you do against a player on your level and how well you do at adapting because lets face it, that match you posted was a cat on a wounded mouse. nice showcase of your general skill level, you got all the basics. once you start going up against people that can read you well and know the matchup its going to take some more adapting skills, mindgames, and footsies which you didnt really have a chance to use on that poor ken.
