you need more exposure/experience. Developing clutch takes a long time, and you can always get better at it.
Yeah, having competition like THIS in san diego, its really really bad. My only experience i get is like from Phobos and Bean. i played dentron and some other guys at my local arcade once and i got some good tips there. I still need to play hella people though, andi plan on it. Thanks for the tips potter. I think my clutch is OK, cuz i can usually pull off a win with 1 character when they have 3(unless its because they choke everytime?..) but yeah, i can definately improve my clutch. Thanks once again.
potter; cvs god
Man, Viscant was clutch because you let him become clutch. I know it’s casuals but you kept doing stupid shit a lot, which Viscant obviously took advantage of so yeah, try to not do a lot of stupid shit (a little here and there is okay if you want to try to force the issue or shake your opponent up). Also, if you have a big lead like three characters to one, you should use your time wisely. You gotta be patient even with a big lead to close him out. Even if he manages to kill off your first two characters in a row with his anchor, hopefully by the time he gets down to the last character you should have a decent life advantage over his if you used your time wisely to prevent him from getting much life back as well as dish out some damage.
And as for your being intimidated by K-Groove, learn how to run. =)
You should play me; I’m gonna be down in Murrieta (about 30 minutes away from San Diego) next weekend and I might make a trip down there if people are gonna play…
next wekend my house is gonna be hella full. so im not sure. What kind of stupid shit did i do?
Nice, Todo Represent. 1 win for my Todo last night (sorry drage).
Hak: I might hit up your place w/ phobos/bean. Do you have enough setups?
Depending on what phobos wants to do I might be able to bring one.
yamazaki could just jab you…
and why the hell are you intimidated when you are A-ARE against K-groove anything?
Paro-da - Probably, im not so sure yet. I’ll let everyone know what’s up, i need to talk to phobos.
Strider - I don’t know why the fuck im intimidated… It might because I have a mind set when i play K groove and random stupid raged supers. So i should be fearless against K then?
After watching the videos again, all I can say is, just keep the pressure on. In the matches on tape and the ones we played later, when you were winning, I’d always be in the corner. When I was winning, you’d be in the corner. Especially in these, your Sakura is doing the most damage and I’m always in the corner and trying to get out.
But something I really noticed in the matches we played later. Especially in Bison vs. Yamazaki. A lot of the time when I’m in trouble, all I’m thinking is “I gotta get out of the corner”. And then you’d jump back or walk backwards or something and the pressure was off. It may not seem like that much, but it helped me out a lot.
Also a lot of the time when you’re in the corner, you don’t vary your pokes that much. In the matches on camera Hibiki vs. Blanka, I’m waiting outside low fierce range trying to counter hit you most of the time. Like when you stick out low forward, I’m trying to run slash it. And it was working most of the time because you were always doing the same pattern. Or in Yama vs. Bison (off camera) when you got into the corner, you would never do low fierce or stand strong or stand rh as a poke. So I’d just walk up and stand fierce xx knife or slash. A couple of those and you have to take a chance to not get guard crushed. Just vary up your poking a little bit and try to stay out of the corner and a lot of what I’m trying to do won’t work anymore.
Honestly, I think you’re way better than me at CvS2. I got pretty lucky in the matches on camera. But once you get a little more practice closing out matches and get a little more aggressive, you’ll start winning 80-85% of the time. We just need to play more. Thanks for having me over last night…let me know about next week.

Hey viscant, yeah i kept thinking last night “man i gotta get more aggressive next time” I’m eager to play you again. I’ll call you up next week. Really good games, you got me really thinking of how i should play A vs K. K really drives me to an intimidation factor(which i need to get rid of!) and it makes me mess up a lot…mess up CCs, footsies turn to shit, and i get GCed. Thanks for coming, You are really good practice for me(since i dont get any with anyone else.)
Advance warning:
Yeah so I wanna do a tournament again. This time i’m thinking Saturday, March 11th. I need a lot more practice before FFA SBO 3v3 and such cause i’m sooo random at times. I’m either gonna be in LA or SD this weekend, plus this gives everybody time to decide what they’re gonna do at the last minute.
Andy - You might actually be able to come. If you’re down to bring a system and TV setup, and am willing to stay late(unless you’re driving down here yourself) then Yuo can probably come. I have a lot of people flakin out on me. So you can probably come.
To anyone else - Does anyone else want to come? I can’t garauntee anything but if i have people drop out you are welcomed to come if i have room.
Just posting to let any Marvel people know that the Marvel machine in the commons is in somewhat good condition.

Gene: not smaller than 27, as long as you have something to put it on or place I could most likely bring it. Hopefully it fits in the back of the car, lol.
Edit: my AIM is acting hella gay, I dunno what’s up.
Yo andy, do you have a smaller TV? haha? 27 inch is huge…But i Might be able to make room. maybe.
hey was up gangstas.
long time nop C
anyways im crunk and feeliing GOOOOOD
whens the next big touyry…hit me up
YAYAYAYAY
Uhm. i might have somewhere to put it. but you guys have to sit on mushy couches =(.
carlos, you are the best. hahahaha
Hella good games to James, Andy, Phobos, Edwin, and Viscant. Thank you all for coming. I greatly appreciate it!!! Thanks andy for bringing the TV, ps2, and cvs2. Thanks james, for staying awake. And Phobos for making the trip down here.
We did record matches(maybe like…4…). But i’ll get those up on to the comp asap. Phobos, i still have more to learn from you! see you guys next time.
PS: phobos - your balltop might come loose sometimes because i forgot to screw it back on tight(not HELLA tight.) If you have problems with it coming off a lot, just unscrew the bottom, take a flathead phillips screw driver and just tighten it A LITTLE then you should be set. Try not to tamper with the thread for the flathead for the stick since it went through hella much when we tried to screw the balltop off.
gg’s, thanks for having us over. gg’s to Viscant on 3s/AE shit was pretty fun.
Gameboy Cvs2/3s for life.
RiCo batches: remember next saturday. Let me know what’s really good.
