Rufus Matchmaking Thread (Post your PSN/XBL Tag here!)

XBL GT: The Rynge
Location: So Cal
Mains: Rufus, Rose, Dudley
Trying to accomplish: better dive kick mixups and finding useful non bnb combos
Worst match ups: Blanka, Shotos, Bison, Vega sometimes
Best match ups: ibuki, cody

Xbl gamertag: Varm
Where are you located at (what state/coast/country): Central Canada
Character(s) you main: Blanka, Guile, Rufus
What you are trying to accomplish: Attempting to learn rush down with rufus to better understand the game, as well as give myself a different play style option
Best match-up: Rufus: anyone without an srk
Blanka: very comfortable with everyone minus the odd shoto
guile: non shoto’s
worse match-up: shoto’s in general, something about mashed srks always gets me. M bison is also a bad match up with rufus. i generally go about 3/10 vs him
Whats your strength’s: Playstyle mix up, i often will go between a zoning and rushdown
Whats your weakness’s: Fully connecting combos, tend to drop links or when i get frustrated i resort to jab mashing or throwing out random ultras. I over use jump ins which ends up with me getting punished
What do you need to work on: Overall ability, currently working on perfecting combos in training and can generally get them out. When the pressure is on i tend to drop combos or resort to mashing jab and missing good combo opportunities. I also need to learn to not turtle when i have a life lead. I also need to work on predicting throws/teching/getting throws.

My connection might sometimes be shaky, notably because you seem to all be in America and I’m not, but it’s worth a shot.
