Ok thx.

After a stand LP xx Elec on block, i try to continue for an another one, but when i try to walk forward a bit, i eat often something like a fast normal, or a dp or something… you have the same thing ? The pushback is really big, it’s annoying for a corner pressure when you try to do it.

you don’t need to walk as far as you think you do.

It’s character specific though. like in the mirror for instance you can do lp xx lp elec, lp xx hp elec without even walking sometimes. It’s dumb.

So much things are character specific, damn…

hey guys ayano cup casuals are on and Nishkin is playing, both him and Taku are in the tournament as well http://www.ustream.tv/channel-popup/ayano-cup

Thanks, have u see blanka’s matchs ?

Ves:

Just started watching, did u see the nishikin casuals?
My friend said he was really agressive with some cool setups.
Can u relate any of them for me? Im a nishikin whore, I know.

Im watching it now, tourny hasnt started yet, but I know the blanka was on the screen raping a couple fools in a row.

I’m a nishikin whore too.

I saw Nishikin play about 7 games of casuals vs Dudley, Adon, Dan and someone else.

@josh, I saw nishkin do backthrow to corner, dash, whiff st.mk vs. Adon. Adon tried to wakeup tech, and the throw whiffed, and Nishikin punished. It’s just goofy looking and makes you want to hit buttons even though you don’t get up for awhile after.

Everything else I’ve seen before. Lots of aggressive jumping/focus use. He was bullying weaker players.

Intersting. Im assuming it was far mk? or close mk?

Close mk is still gruonded right? it doesnt avoid throws?

Im trying to visualize why opponents throw whiffed. It was the far mk then, right?

Thanks ves for your reconisance! (me no can spell, too old to spell)

Stream is laggy for me.

Meth, thats your computer or your internet. It’s very high bitrate stream.

@josh close, blanka recovers first, it was just tricky.

Taku just lost to Bonchan, boo.

I don’t know, maybe the stream is slow on UE… grrrrrrrrrr.

Taku’s team is out in first round.

Lost to Kazunoko/Nemo/Bonchan team.

Every player was top 7BP with their character, and most were top 4 with like 4 #1’s. Taku’s team lost horribly though.

Who’re the Taku’s fellow ?

I hate to say it, but I thoght taku played like shit.
Jumped too much, played scared. Didnt act like the defensive wall blanka needs to be.
Especially in the end, he had the match, then jumped and it was all over. :frowning:

Even worse, that ken was really good. Then uppercutted 8 times in a row against nemo. Then random ultra to seal the deal. :frowning:

Double elim tournament though, least thats what i was told, so taku aint out yet!

Oops, #capcom lied, single elim. Fukin taku

Taku’s team sucked ass too. A mediocre sagat that got ass raped by yun. A decent dhalsim, that also got ass raped by yun. A fukin Adon that got raped by yun. And a ken that came back, got pretty far, should have beaten nemo, but threw it all away. :frowning:

Taku’s team was #1 Blanka, #1 Ken, #4 Sagat, #6 Adon, #2 Dhalsim, lol.

I think that demonstrates clearly that arcade ranking numbers are all bullshit.

They do not take into account what perhaps can best be described as “tournament heart.”

arcade rankings just show that they play a lot, and they are pretty decent. When nothing is on the line, they certainly can play very well.

However, tournament situations bring out the worst in any player, and especially if they are not used to the tournament experience, it doesnt matter how good the person can be, they will crack and fall apart. This most clearly applies to the Ken. He really had it, demonstrated dominance and skill, but couldnt control the nerves, and it was really obvious. The adon was simply attrocious. Im not sure about the matchup itself, adon versus yun, but Im pretty sure adon can do better than was demonstrated.

How do I beat a Zangief that likes to lariat vertically up seventeen screen heights, then grab me in an spd? :frowning:

I finally find a good method to kara throw, i stay hold on LP and press LK, it work easily, nice.

O_o

Confused.
