Lol, it’s got nothing to do with word choice. It’s the fact that you actually thought it was an epic match. So epic that it deserves two threads, much better than all those silly tournament matches that just get one post in a general video thread.
To fully comment, my criticism isn’t primarily on the many missed confirms and combos (although that certainly counts against calling this an "epic match), it’s the fact that most of the damage on both sides is done via unintelligent aggression, which was only successful because the other side had equally unintelligent defense. Tons of times players are getting hit by crossups which are not at all ambiguous, or randomly start getting hit while blocking despite no attempts to condition or set them up to stop blocking (I don’t think there was a single throw or mixup of any kind until like the third round). Basically they just got tired of blocking and thought “omg, my turn to press buttons now” and got counterhit.
And does either player understand the Akuma vortex at all? I don’t think that Akuma went for a single crossup tatsu the entire match. And what was with empty palm DF to ultra working in the second round? Why would he assume that you’d throw out a random attack, which isn’t the correct response to any vortex option? It didn’t look option selected to beat teleport or backdash to me. Worse yet was that he was right.
I’m bad with forums man, I always miss the right thread to put it in, I don’t use them much, I guessed a game with 2 guys, akuma and bison, would go in bison and akuma threads, obviosly I was wrong, I didn’t think was amazing, Its just a nice match with a very clutch end which I wanted to share as im new to posting vids of my games, I really wish didnt say epic now lol
It’s not, unless there monitor refreash rate is 30 or less lol. I have a very good pc so I cant see it in full effect, but on my old pc if I maxed all settings 16xQA or w/e and 1650x1050 it would go slower like 2x slower, the guys who use this are (not being racist) mostly russan and polish (9 time sout of 10) they know what they are doing…
Wait… are we getting trolled? I feel like at this point in the SF4 game, Bison players are out of things to do so they are left to read other fighters forums. I smell a trap!
no…he isn’t trolling. He just got excited about an ending for some reason… likely because its the best RECORDED finish he has had. He obviously just got carried away is all. He posted the same thing in the bison thread to a similar, albeit slightly nicer since it was the bison thread, response.
posting the same thing though in two sections, both times as their own thread, is logically a double post though OP… wouldn’t you think? Not a big deal. But since you FINALLY actually somewhat asked for a critique I’ll give it…
So to your akuma player friend since this is a akuma forum:
You have a lot of work to do. Learning to not throw your fireballs as high up in the air is the first thing. Work on your hit confirms… likely you are mashing out c.lp to make sure there isn’t a space between your attacks but you get more than enough frame advantage on block with c.lp/c.lk to be able to be calm and controlled and time it so the whole combo into the Bnb is easy as hell. It honestly should NEVER be dropped. If you are even dropping it 1% of the time you either need to go to training mode, get a new controller/stick, or not play in super laggy matches (only three reasons you should be dropping it). And don’t cross-up SO much after jabs… and if you are at an unambiguous range as you were, don’t use j.lk… use j.mk (although in super j.hk supposedly crosses now). You jump back WAY too much. It lead to a lot of lost health and lost damage. If you just walk back and forth and they jump in on you you should be able to c.hp or srk on reaction without much of a prAir fireball zoning is fine, but don’t do it at close range… so there is no reason you should have been jumping backwards in say… the corner. Its just giving away free damage. If you are going to stop a block string… against bison… you REALLY need to do something instead of block. He doesn’t have an easy punish reversal like SRK so stopping a block string to let his scissors get through is only going to hurt you (and bison shouldn’t be using crusher to get out of strings). You can react very easily to jump ins and headstomp/dr so there was no reason to random srk hoping to hit him… he isn’t seth. Don’t use tiger tatsu to get out of a corner unless he is right next to you… giving ppl free damage for no reason isn’t very smart…be more patient.
About meter use… if you use 2 bars to FADC its okay at times after a fb even after it is blocked… as long as you get some momentum off it. Momentum being something like using s.hp to counterhit or be blocked into demon flip or throwing out a block string hoping they didn’t block low or using c.mp with the thought that they’l try to poke and you’ll counterhit. But wasting another bar to LOSE momentum with EX tatsu was just bad. EX tatsu should be used to end COMBOS… and mostly those in the corner and that is it. Tatsu as a block string ender can even be punished at times so its a horrible use of meter.
The demon palm into ultra… worked… but 9/10 out of ten or more it will not and if they know what they are doing it can really get you hurt. When I fight mirrors and another akuma is losing you see it ALL the time so it becomes routine to simply late tech if they went for a throw and block low otherwise… unless you are getting them trying to tech early this set-up should basically NEVER work against someone that is good. But shit happens… . and something tells me the risk reward against your bison opponent was in your favor since I don’t think he’d have punish it very hard if at all in that situation. So that goes into knowing your opponent. If someone won’t punish something… why NOT use it? But just realize that it won’t work against more knowledgeable players.
please learn to hold down and backwards after using your normals… it will save you the humiliation of getting hit with little poke strings/jab combos when you shouldn’t have. 3rd round you lost half your health because you were simply not blocking… he didn’t EARN the damage… but you sure as hell gave it to him. Especially with that FADC scissors he did. There was NO reason you shouldn’t have been AT LEAST blocking high. He didn’t even use c.lk afterwards so even a high block would have worked… just being lazy cuz u thought u were going to be knocked down i assume but it really is no excuse.
4th round you obviously were feeling the pressure and so you were throwing random random shit out… simple as that. Composure is something you either have or you don’t… only way to really “learn” it is to play more or be more confident in yourself in general.
last round… jumpback fireball killed you… its the reason he landed his ultra and the reason you took the last hit of damage. Its a useful tool… but it hardly defines akuma. And now jumping back to meter useage you should ALWAYS know how much meter you AND your opponent has. Learn to flick your eyes down during long moves (sweep, hk, cmk. fb) or spacing situations. The reason? You HAD the match. You had a super and he was in the corner with an inability to anti-air for lack of …knowledge… skill…something. Super would have easily insta grabbed him for the match if you empty jumped into super on him which is easy as hell. (also… note you almost gave away the match with a really stupid air tatsu… again…).
So… work on your footsies… work on your spacing… work on your pressure game (meter use, which normals to use, etc) … work on blocking more/smarter… work on using pokes to counterhit… and it can always help to use c.mk ultra for jump-ins for extra damage if you think of it at the time (i don’t use it often because I hate giving away meter when I usually can get the win without the ultra anyway).
Well the bison was proud of his win, let him have that. He just posted in an area where the level of play doesn’t quite coincide with his own. Just ignore this thread.
And what kind of self-fooling person would be proud of wins via lag?
My question is why the hell did he teleport with that life lead? Honestly in the Akuma mirror match 80% of the time the ultra gets landed on a teleport or bad air fireball spacing.
This is why I tell people that think Akuma’s teleport is a get out of jail free card that they are crazy. Stupid teleports = Massive punishment.
well with that reset there were good chances to either fuck up the srk or to get an untechable knockdown (and we all know that an akuma with half bar still dies in one combo if you guess wrong), so v-ryu probably thought a teleport would have been safer…and honestly, how could you expect a demon from a reset in such a clutch situation???
I mean, that wasn’t a stupid wake up teleport where you can expect to be ultra’d. honestly, has this ever happened to you? That guy was v-ryu, not some random scrub who just picked up his first SF game.
Guys I wasn’t PROUD of the win…I won this guy alot more after that, I liked this game because it was close and could of gone either way, some games I won 3 streight rounds, in about 2 min it was over, that wouldn’t be as fun to watch at all. This game was very close, not the most skillful I’ve had nor the best, just a close game so I wanted to upload it and share…
and all you who was mad talking about this match should go against that Akuma/Bison. I bet most, if not, all of you guys will get own… so yeah, STFU… chill out. Give props where it’s due. Besides, we ain’t seeing shiiet videos of you guys doing that good with Bison or Akuma. Fancy combo videos don’t mean shiet… I can do fancy combos all day, but doesn’t do me much jack in a real game.
Hehe cheerz man, tbh this fourm is like tek9 forum for cod4, everyone thinks there amazing and are up there own asses, I currently made a hard combo challenge (for fun) on bison thread and all I have had is, bitch bitch bitch at me lol.
1 guy even said he looked at it till he saw “if you can do this you know you have mastered bison lol”, I put it as a joke but this guy took it 100% seriose and was like omg im not watching that omg no way…I would have to get down from this high horse and little YOU aint gona make me lol
