The awkward moment when you get EX DP instead of U1 after karakusa
Aaaaahhhhhh omg I hate the hawk and dictator match up… I lose even to the worst hawk and decent dictator 
you know how much it sucks to lose 1k pp in less then ten matches thanks to mashing hawks :s
Lost…because I successfully inputted what I wanted and lag got in the way. I knew the Cody was going to do something on wake up, so I just done a delay Ultra, at first I thought I was a bit slow, went to replays I actually inputted it correctly and BEFORE he hit me yet I got no Ultra and lost because of it… Fucking yellow bar bullshit, I swear Capcom has done something to online cause a lot of people that used to be green bar show up as yellow…or maybe it’s just the bad internet in Australia.
this has been making me rage alot. i be like “YES GET SUM…GET PUNCH IN THE DIC-” fukiage “WTFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU”
-Online lag making it possible for your opponent to land a cr LK between your MP->MP blockstring, while you could have sworn that it was a frametrap.
-Getting counterhit out of a MP anti air
-The ever so infamous LK tatsu -> lp srk loop wich is protected by a magical screen of lag, so you cant punish the tatsu
c.LK will often interrupt it/trade if it’s a 3 frame c.LK and mashed.
s.MP is mediocre at an AA (unless the opponent has unusually poor jump-ins, like Abel), its best use is to AA from a distance where the opponent can’t hit you normally, or against neutral jumps. That distance is the ideal AA range for s.MP - otherwise you’ll trade a lot.
You’d be suprised to see how often MP works. At first I thought the same thing about it, but it has a 5 frame start up so its usable as a last second AA.
Lost so much tonight. A good chunk of them were last round, last hit scenarios which makes the losses sting that much more. The rest were doods that were clearly a couple levels above me in skill. How do I level up MY game if I don’t have time to practice?
Bought a new stick tonight and decided to play to break it in. Probably went about 10 games before winning one against a Zangief player. Out of maybe 30-40~ games I played tonight, I probably won 5 
Instead of IA Tsurugi, I got so many Karakusas, or instead of Karakusa to U1, I got Karakusa to EX Fukiage…
Went from like 1600 PP to 500 lol, oh well, at least the matches I did win, I won them very convincingly.
Still can’t get around Shotos that spam Tatsu to DP.
I think playing people of higher skill is a lot easier than playing lower skilled players. Reason being is that higher skilled people don’t take chances or just use very safe moves, lower skilled people will wake up SRK or wake up ultra every chance they get.
Byarrr
Lower skilled players are unpredictable…it’s one of the things we somewhat lose as we get more familiar with the game. A lower skilled player won’t learn, so training someone and using mix ups won’t work out as well as they do against higher skilled players.
So true. Its one of my big weaknesses, I use yomi lvl 3 to often (when you know, he knows about a move and you try to counter his countermove). For instance:
-I use EX hayate and dash up
-I do a delayed crouch tech block to see what he does
-He uses srk wich I block and punish
-I dash up again, thinking: He knows that Im blocking, so he’ll grab or do a backdash
-I do a tsurugi
-I eat srk to the face (-_-,)
-Im like: DAMMIT I fall for that every time! >:-o
You can’t use mind-games against people who don’t think.
Can I rage when my xbox decides to start overheating out of nowhere, and I can’t play? REALLY want to choke some fools right now…
That moment when you do Karakusa to U1 for the win and s.fierce comes out and proceed to lose the match.

just lost to one of the worst makoto players on xbl. i cant believe myself. name was yuri something. no set ups. no meatys. nothing. just fullscreen ex hayate and then 50/50 karakusa axe kick mixup off j.hp. i hate myself.
Naw, it’s worse if you do karakusa to u1 only to have it blocked because of lag and then lose the match. That happened to me 15 minutes ago.
Was watching Flashmetroids stream today and he had the nerve to call Makoto a scrub character that carries the player. I was kind of surprised he was down talking her since he sorta uses her. He even said the nerfs she got weren’t enough and she deserves more. He probably was just salty because this Makoto player named Jlai beat him a few matches. Best part was when he tried to mirror match the guy to expose him and lost.
It just pisses me off thinking we put so much time into her, just for people to think she’s a derp character that requires no work.
Soooooooo…I guess he’s saying his win against Infiltration at Season’s Beatings was fraudulent?
It’s annoying how some people think she’s easy. Especially when they sit there and say “oh, all Makoto has to do is S.MP and she’ll win”, if they played her they’d know that isn’t true.
Flash does play Makoto. In fact, he plays her quite well. That’s why the statement is so surprising. He used her to beat a really good Korean player at Season’s Beatings when his Zangief was getting torn apart, so by calling her a “scrub character”, it’s kinda like he’s calling himself a fraud. Weird.
