Poor Du lol

So… Du got beat twice by Xiao Hai.

I dont know what is going on with him lately but he missed so many punishing opportunities

What do you guys think of her new Shooting Star target combo?

Her air target combo? I can’t get it to work but apparently Fuudo can. I guess I’m lazy that I haven’t found a use but he has.

Nah, your being harder on yourself than you need to be again. It is for meaty set ups and to form a scramble situation. You COULD grind both the jump timing for this under high pressure situations in casuals. You COULD then grind all the different match up specific scramble reactions, but it is at its base a different situation /mentally/. The meaty is quicker and more weirdly timed than most of her standard meaties.

Either Fuudo uses some mental trick from another game (which given his history I find highly likely,) to parallel the situation in his head, or he grinded this a lot. So yeah there is hard work to do for it, but it is really a different situation than anything you would train on R.Mika and its not easily trainable in training mode without a lot of forethought on the playback recordings. If you WANT to get better at this, there are some links in the Season 2 thread that describe some of the meaty set ups for the combo (if I remember correctly. It’s been awhile.) But this boils down to style. This isn’t that necessary for the character unless your jonesing for season 1 level scramble mix ups. Given clips you have posted here of yourself, I’d think not really as you enjoy anti-airing over air to air situations (or at least you don’t normally air to air when you could reasonably do it for equal benefit.)

TL;DR Negative self talk is self sabotaging and I believe you might not really stylistically want to do this combo. Is it laziness to not train something if it doesn’t fit your style?

Edit: Apologies for being presumptuous, but I figured you’d appreciate someone calling you out for this. Let me know if you don’t want me to and I’ll just not in the future.

Nah it’s alright. It’s honestly a bad habit. With fighting games I tend to get really hard on myself due to me wanting to get better. So I appreciate the callout.

Whats the experience against SIM?

Patience is the key to this match up. Sim players use to land yoga fireballs: here the moment when you need to catch them with ex peach.
Plus, delaying your wake up is also a good option to avoid his mixups with teleport. It’s not that rare Sim players waking up with CA, so beware on it and, if so, land a command grab in order to convert its animation into a safe alternative against those slow and giant burns.

His results are not bad, wonder why is he leaving.

Hey guys I won my money match!
Anything that you guys think I need to work on?
Im FZG Prototype and im the black guy.

Who is he picking up now?

As far as i know, he also played Mika in the online cpt tournament and he won that.
Maybe it is a PR Barlog retirement thing lol

The crazy jump happy Mika is gone. That’s probably better for Mika in the long run. I only really saw him as Marn 2.0 with her.

Marn 2.0 lol

Can’t forget Marn’s run on NCR last year, getting top 8 with random EX peach, one mid screen mix up and one corner mix up the rest was all jumps.

Marn played a shitty Mika so I’m glad he’s moving on anyway

New costume

Finally we get her without the mask but they replace it with glasses

Maybe just maybe, the glasses can come off with the button combination.
