I only saw the first match…
Yeah, you’re not backdashing like you used to, but you’re also not improving your approach game, and your punish.
I noted that most of your combos were either a mixture of cr.lp’s and st.mp xx st.mk xx hands.
which perfectly does a good 200dmg, but I honestly think you can punish better than that.
Here’s what I noted:
your first hit on him was cr.mp, which is a really good poke. I usually like to follow that move up with hands because honestly, you can’t really follow that move up with anything else (you can follow up with Geriko, but you were nowhere near him to be able to land it), so if you can get those hands in, it’s usually best to get in that extra damage since Gen’s hitbox will return to it’s normal position after the cr.mp hits, so might as well get those hands in.
@0:23, you landed a nice (crane) j.hp, and followed it up with mk-hands. Good, but you could have done better. I personally like to simply just punish with (mantis)st.hp xx hk-geriko (it’s character specific, and I THINK it can punish Fei-long), but yeah, you could have done a more damaging combo there. You can train yourself to punish with maximum damage over time, just letting you know that you could have gotten more damage in.
– You’re too eager to reversal, and @1:07, you messed up a perfectly punish. Always keep in mind what’s the quickest, and most effective way to deal damage: st.hp xx geriko!! (if you don’t have crane charge to do the roll). Either way, it does about the same damage…
– Again, @1:16, you failed to punish with your maximum potential.
– @1:30, there goes your habits of trying to land a maximum damage combo. and Fei-long could have punished too lol… You can’t be doing that, man.
– Other than that, good use of spacing in the 2nd round.
– @2:11, you landed a nice string of light pokes and what not, but you didn’t follow it up with anything =/ Something better to have done would have been (mantis) cr.lk, cr.lp, st.mp xx lk-geriko. It does mediocre 200 damage, but at least then it’s a perfectly good punish in that situation =]
– @2:30, you went in with the same combo, and this time got lucky by landing it, and what’s bad was that you didn’t do the maximum damage, I think you use the medium roll or something…
– Follow-up to that combo was really gimmicky, but it works lol
– 2:38, very eager to reversal, come’on man!
– and talk about a clutch finish, wow… lol
Good stuff, man. Luck and a handful of skill is on your side =]
– Keep your punishes simple, and keep in mind the combos that are possible off of (mantis) cr.lk
