Yeah great job V-ryu, more motivation to keep practicing.

Teknique san vs AquaSilk

Hmm, I don’t really like Teknique san. Haven’t since I first saw him on Excellent Adventures. He’s too unrefined, it seems like he’s essentially playing SSF4 Cammy in a different character.

WAIT i do have one question i forgot to ask

the c.mp os is when u input the hayate motion while throwing out c.mp? cause if so i was doing it, however i was getting punished by ryu sweep on block…so idk if i was doing it wrong or if i got it mixed up.

Yeah, Hayate is unsafe on block (EX version is the safest version, but still punishable). Generally, I don’t use c.MP OS at close range where I know it’s more likely to get blocked. It’s best used as a footsie tool. Great for scoring a CH after whiffed attack. For example, TC1 (whiff), c.MP OS. You should check the Q&A thread. Mossad recently posted his observations concerning Haitani’s usage of TC1. It’s definitely worth implementing into your game.

I just watched the momi vs vryu REVENGE match , wow momi was SO SALTY after it , his face was priceless when they were shaking hands LOL

Oh also ggs to vryu today , if you read this , I ate so much McDonalds’ that my makoto was moving like a rock today lol, didnt even win one match :frowning:

Also , gonna ask overmostheads if I can post some matches against him ! Do we need Matchup information on Oni ? If we do the guy is insane , havent seen a better oni in europe , he kara-demoned me like 50 times in 15 matches

Did a FT10 and a FT5 with a couple dudes from NeoGAF the other day.

@39:10. Dood must have been salty when your Tsurugi crossed up his headbutt. I didn’t even know that was possible.

haha, yeah. That happens if he tries to headbutt out of crossup tsuguri setups too iirc.

play demulant i prefer his oni better.

peqqiiiii ! You decided to write finaly ! Well havent played against him , gonna try him on if i get the chance , although the matches are uploaded already , and gosh they are 20 minutes lol

Any feedback will be appreciated :]

To Vryu: Just wanted to say congratulations for finishing second recently. I’m a long term Makoto player and so I was looking forward to seeing you in action. When I heard that you had been put into losers early on I was initally disappointed but having seen you put in some fantastic performances making your way to grand finals, well, it was a real spectacle.

Thanks for the entertainment, Vryu, and once again… very well done.

So you decided to join in huh ? :] Good for you , you wont regret it

Two biggest things I saw: not enough meaties on wake-up and you didn’t do U1 after MK Tsurugi when you should have. Also, I’ve been touting this since forever, Blockakusa is the new go-to Karakusa, not f+LK Kara-Kara.

I’m really surprised the Oni didn’t start FA abusing, you were abusing Tsurugi like no other; did you train him or something?

@all:
thx for your comments about RFD :slight_smile:

@zakbg
OH!!! one thing i wanted to tell you looooooooooooooooong time ago (But forget everytime)… LEARN the range to hit with stHP. For example, after MK tsurugi, if opponent is standing near you, use stHP -> …, instead of crMP -> …
Same goes after a successfull jumpHP. You miss so many opportunity to stun the opponent.

And as Robot said (and i think you noticed in our mirror matches), you do too many tsurugi. It’s punishable on whiff, so watch out.

yeah peqqi calls me tsurugi addict … but it does sooo much damageeee and it’s so easy to land , everyone falls for it except you lol

EDIT: thats why we call you top tier lol

Nice stuff Zakbg, picking up some stuff for my Makoto here

So much stuff to learn :frowning:

What do you mean “did you train him” ? I don’t get it , also the only meaty I use is Oroshi , mashers taught me not to use anything else… oh and st. HK too

Like did you condition him to stop using focus attack? Like using a move to shut down a certain option and makes them reconsider using that option again.

Like conditioning an opponent to block on wakeup by doing meaty st.mp/oroshi/whatever to stop them from jumping/backdashing

Well I did start using cr MP > LP hayate more to stop FA’s but I don’t know , he was punishing my whiffed tsurugis with sweep and f+hp, but I hardely ever whiff them. When I play first I look closely at what they do on their wake up , if they backdash I start using safe jumps and OS’s , if they block I start using karakusa and tsurugi (or meaty MP oroshi)
