Video links 2 thru 5 are broken

You were hit out of FA a tad too much especially in the first match against Boxer

I noticed you whiffing after an N.Jump Roundhouse once or twice. My advice is if youre unsure about the distance for crouch Fierce; use low forward XX Fierce SRK

Keeping that in mind I also notices you missing reversal punish do to distance as well. If the distance is great low forward is your friend.

Overall you played really well, just keep in mind what I said plus work on your execution a bit. Too much squandered Ex do to missing the short Tatsu->short->Ex Tatsu link.

Ty and i fixed the links and yes i will work on those things asap !!!

Nice thanks for fixing those.

Against Sagat there were some situations were he put you in a tiger shot lockdown from relatively close range. If the Sagat player is contempt in throwing close range tiger shots you must show him the error in his ways, you must capitalize. My suggestion is FA dash forward, if he throws another tiger shot immediately go for Ex Srk, the range & invincibility on that thing is amazing. If he doesnt throw anything your free to move forward. Roundhouse Tatsu also has great range and invincibility, this should be used when you want to preserve stock and sense a projectile coming. Its safe on block so its another really good option.

Also try limiting jump-ins against Sagat especially those mid to long range ones. Anything further than 1.5 character lengths away an you are at the mercy of his gdlk Forward Roundhouse.

Against Blanka, practice the timing on punishing the various version of beast ball. The timing can be fairly tricky, but who can argue with free damage.

Thats all I have for now keep those vids coming.

Man thanks alot …looks like i got alot of training to do and ty for watching the vids!!!

congrats to sabre for gettin match of the year. Go sakura!

I wanna see the match of the year video. Where is it?

By the magic of google - http://shoryuken.com/?p=1855

wohooo,nice oO

yep its on the front page for srk

Yes grats indeed Sabre :tup:

Only bad thing about that video is it doesn’t have the commentary, I miss hearing the “Whoa! That was straight out the Matrix!!!” :rofl:

That much sure was one hell of a mindfuck wish i could do that corner cross up that good :slight_smile:

Our very own DeNice went a few rounds against SmallFry, first part can be found here ~> [media=youtube]9secKKQgj6w[/media] :slight_smile:

he played pretty well i must say.

Well i need to tone down a little and stoping rushing down be more patient.
He uses his FA really well, gonna practise that one.

Here’re some of my matches from a tournament that happened a little while ago.

i like the last round against alex g, nice playing with FADC.

u prefer j.hp as i see , has it better recovery then hk?

gg eish. but i have a quick question whats up with doin so many hits before u do the cr mk to shou. it seems like it would be less damage because your making it scale by adding so many hits

Painful to see a dropped Shunpuu link cost the round :frowning: How the hell did he throw you out of an EX Shunpuu at the end of it?!! >.<

Kinda funny the number of times he botched his TU FADC > Step Kick > Ultra up, at least 3 times. I actually find FADC Ultras easier to do than Sakura’s dash Ultra now :rofl:

Still very impressive :tup: The 2nd match of the Sagat final had a most epic win :slight_smile:

nice matches…i like ur style.(like the …lkTatsu->cLK)

btw:would u say,the connection is nice on xbox version?i got it on pc and ps3…i think about throwing my ps3 away and get a xbox…
