i know i was just being [S]silly[/S] a sillyhead :looney:
I like the blocking test better http://teyah.com/milliablocker.html
also usb polling rate factors into both tests, my keyboard is hooked up to a ps2 port though.
Also the above test doesn’t punish you for prediction.
I got 20 as my best on that.
I just practiced sliding. I can do it fairly well with my left hand, but hardly ever with my right. I’d rather not try to rework my button order. More practice needed.
I tried than human reaction test while drunk and got 283 lol.
I need to stop losing in grand finals when I’m in winners
Lost to Snake Eyez, I had sent him to losers earlier 2-0. I guess losing a tournament to a guy who won evo in something before shouldn’t make me too sad
congrats regardless, it’s already an achievement by itself
which tourney and where’s the result info?

It was just a small house tourney, results aren’t up yet. Local get together thing, it’s a casuals sessions that is expanding to tournaments though, it’s more fun than serious.
I’m feeling somewhat good about my play now though. My last couple months of tourneys has been pretty good to me. I have a win, four 2nd place finishes, a 3rd place finish, a 4th and a 5th. Not placing out of top 5 since AE came out is pretty good.
And half of my losses are Hugo101+OnlineTony. I have 2 losses to tony, and 4-5 from Hugo. Everyone else adds up to like the same as that.
I need to get to WNF one of these weeks and put myself on display a little.
small house tournament can be fun still better than not having that available at all…
I’ve been looking into the local tournament scene myself… but I haven’t really been in a tournament for over 3-4 years in other fighting games and never attended a SF/2D Fighter tournament ever… but i see that there’s some local arcade tournaments that goes on every few weeks around here… i might try to see if i can get a ‘free pass’ from wife before I attend… which is usually the biggest problem for me now that i’m married… it only becomes lunch session at a nearby arcade or occassional afterwork/weekend…
however there are a few local players that i consistently lose to… and it’s only recently i’ve been starting to win a bit against them…

Why i feel Fei is the worst Blanka’s match up in AE… worst than Boxer, Cammy, Dictator etc…
fei is hard, he is great at the range where blanka is good.
I said that cuz i have a friend who play Fei and he improves a lot with Fei these days… man, i feel like i just can do NOTHING, i can’t turtling, i can’t approach him, i can’t rushdown him… i understand now why Taku looses like that vs Mago, it’s just awful.
I agree fei is tough but just curious what exactly is the fei you’re playing against is doing? I haven’t played against a fei where I feel hopeless yet so just curious
like at beginning of the round range or lp safe ball range what exactly does he do?
-LAU
He was trying to push me in the corner, with simply walk forward, two first rekkas at safe distance (Blanka can’t punish at this distance), very close at me so i can’t really ball him… i try to poke him but his crouch MP counter poke me a lot, even his crouch HP… the biggest issue was the rekkas safe at good range to cheap me, it was very hard, i can’t do much things, sometimes slide on reaction in his rekkas, but not reliable.
I eat a lot of focus, i was surprised because of the crazy range… also, i can’t use the crouch HP because he can punish very easily with his rekka or Super… so i use a lot the stand HP, but he don’t get hit too much by this poke.
He was just playing patiently, footsies, just search the corner pressing to my death every time.
The only times i can made something is when i had a knockdown, i safe jump him, i did ambigues jump HP on him etc… but it was limited.
It’s all about footsies but Fei have a big advantage, better normals and his rekka is a crazy overpowered move, you need to be very strong, very strong…
7-3 Imo.
could it be ryu’s hitbox?
Blank is already weak, he doesnt need videos posted making him look bad, this never comes into play during an actual match anyway.
Well. Yeah, I just thought the difference was kind of interesting. Was our standing hurtbox changed over the two versions? or was ryu’s st.hk changed?
hmm have you tried neutral jump (Hk) against fei? I find it fairly useful against rekka and chicken wing… If you guess right it punishes his whiff severely and it’s not easy for him to punish you if you whiff unless all you do is jump like a bunny up and down. I don’t think fei got a good answer for that unless he’s doing jumping attack himself but even then you’re more likely to win or trade and even if you don’t the fact he’s gotta predict your jump means it’s hard for him to play his ground game normally so you can go back to your ground game easier.
I kinda got this idea when I watched I think the first episode of cross counter Asia with Xian who used yun but it still applies in some ways… He was mentioning how at the range he was standing fei got no real solution against him jumping straight up… I think the commentary and the match really help me put in perspective what to look for and what are 50/50 necessary risks
-LAU
Nice idea, i didn’t think about that… like vs Dictator and his knee press pressure.
I hope Blanka is in SFxT. It definitely make me buy the game a lot quicker.
