I usually main Sakura but im trying to find a new character to well not main a secondary i guess people call it… This match was laggy but u cant tell through replay untill u see my randon one button input after a combo, and most my LP ->QCB lk combo never comes out…but anyway here it is i like some critiscm honest and no being an ass about… actually want help.
Hey guys, I could use some help. I can feel myself improving slightly but I still feel like I’m a far cry from where I would like to be. Here is a good example :[media=youtube]wmFDJJMVSgM"[/media]
I really should have lost this match but ended up getting kinda lucky. Thanks in advance.
I am taking more videos for Analysis since I have settled in. Try to make sure it is a good enough quality and make sure the original match wasn’t laggy beyond belief.
HEY PPL CHECK OUT MY VIDEO OF ME TAKING ON AN A+ RANK DHALSIM BEAR IN MIND I’AM ONLY A C+ AKUMA , I THREW THE FIGHT AND I WON CHECK OUT THE FOOTAGE BELOW…
No offense, but you need to solidify your game. Random full screen DPs and demons?
At first I thought you were going for frame traps with repeated c.MPs, but you don’t look like you know what to do with that…
That win didn’t mean much, that Dhalsim sucked ass too.
Come on, gimme a break, my dpad’s almost gone thus y i kept missin with the DP, oh and it would be nice if someone pointed out the positives, always got to be a hater i can never understand this thought pattern…
SKG, you’re going to tend to get criticism rather than praise when you post a video of you playing, since most people here post in hopes of getting said criticism so that they can level up their game and stop making mistakes/using ineffective tactics. It’s not ‘hating’, we’re ultimately helping each other out. I won’t address execution errors since your controller is funky.
I watched both videos, and my first observation is that you attack way too often, in unsafe circumstances. It looked like you were mashing cr. MK and cr. MP during footsies, even when Dhalsim was outside of your sweep range. You don’t want to push buttons at that range, because you can’t hit him but he can hit you.
You also did a lot of unsafe jump-ins (i.e. not preceded by a knockdown or a reaction to Yoga Fire) - most Sim players would easily hit you out of the air with his normals.
It looked like you were mashing DP anytime Sim got close to you - most of them just happened to hit. If you were, that’s a really bad habit to get into, as most players will block the DPs and hit you with a full combo on the way down. You can only be ‘reckless’ with DPs when you have enough meter to FADC.
Overall, I’d recommend a more patient approach, especially versus Dhalsim.
I gotta say, it was kinda funny watching that 'sim have all kinds of trouble dealing with your seeming randomness. On a more serious note, I’d like to know what the connexion was like… I don’t think a 14K BP Dhalsim would make so many mistakes unless he were bogged down by serious lag.
And no, lag doesn’t show on replays.
Pay attention to what Moody (and other good Akuma players) on these forums say. You’ll be thankful you did.
Thanks for the constructive criticism, I hear what your saying about treading more carefully but when i fight i cant help just attacking the opponent forgetting to block and often get caught out by a block/tap/grab. I use uppercut when ever opponents jump @ me and when recovering from being downed… what other moves are effective when recovering from ground up?
u gotta love the low airF/B into EX shinku tatsmaki gets em evrytime lol
i will be posting up more videos soon as i get the chance to
