Goddamn those Cody pants in the first match. I didn’t realize he had that color.
I’m hoping to grind out matches after I finish up weekend chores. Even though I’m getting bopped playing G I’m enjoying learning him and even though I could use more training mode time for some stuff I feel like I need more match experience in general.
Plus I’m still like 60/40 on playing him vs Kolin so I want to put time in and try to make a semi educated choice before too much time flys by.
Pink jean Cody is best Cody ez
Pathetic.
Without pain and suffering, you will never grow into the strongest version of yourself!
I dunno. I can’t look at those matches and act like there’s anything in there that’s really praise-worthy, I’m just getting thrown a bunch, making stupid neutral decisions and constantly pressing buttons at the wrong times. My neutral is super sloppy
Or repeatedly jumping at the start of your rock throw 'cause I’m a smart person who thinks that’ll work or constantly getting hit out of my shimmies 'cause I don’t mix things up right
I have too far to go to look at that in any positive light at this point
I punch myself in the face repeatedly if I do something stupid or lose in SFV
And yet I’m still as bad as I’ve always been
I think you’re selling snake oil here
well yeah cause you were versus me, I make anybody look bad, I’m fucking insane.
Point is saying everything is sloppy, or you’re bad, and have too far to go, probably ends up regressing you as a player because you never have any faith in your ability and can’t give yourself positive affirmation when there is an improvement. Your Ken is WAY better than it was in matches I watched before, you just fucking suck at converting into damage from hit confirm routes which Ken really really needs, there’s a clear lack of momentum and capitalisation. But the ground game is solid and isn’t relying on any sort of crutch to bypass or gimmick.
What was the song at 10:00 as well I like the piano bit
Overwatering a plant is just as bad as giving it little to none.
Despite having Menat in it, this drawing is really cute.
Oscar is good at drawing cute stuff.
Akhos tends to just choke up on hit confirms and doesn’t really have the best combo theory/execution in tight situations. He reacts to things that I know players far higher ranked than him don’t react to or don’t know to react to. He just has a problem where he’s good at what he’s good at but hasn’t done a lot to train what he isn’t good at.
@Frost lmk if you got time to play try to see if the connection is any better on my side.
Thing is as I mentioned before, it was positive affirmation that made me stagnate and it wasn’t until I started admitting that I’m not very good that any improvement even started
Hell you even showed it just now
It’s just how I am
That’s actually false
I train up a ton on the stuff I keep messing up in match, like DP anti-airing (or anti-airing in general) or hit confirms
Problem is I do that then go into a match and mess it up anyway 'cause my brain is wack
be a bitch den ain’t no way to level up tho I been stroking my dick about my Cody since I was hardstuck 800PP in Super
Just trying hard to apply the things in matches you’ve picked up. Or maybe trying hard to inject new things into your game.
Your Ken rarely uses stmp or bmp, stmp is his best whiff punisher and a good poke to keep + frames at midrange, bmp is one of Kens most crucial normals he can stagger with it, confirm from it, bmp xx ex hado in the corner is a good pressure loop tool, you can even buffer with it for normals quite safely because it doesn’t extend his boxes much.
Just apply those and solely those for a couple of games to get a feel for them and then you’ll start to see when and where you wanna use em.
Crhp is enough for AAs, DPs aren’t 100% crucial considering his crhp AA payoff is actually better than DP considerably.
Like, if “getting better” feels like a slog, and you’re on a constant put down. Why the fuck is anyone gonna approach improving positively and give it 10/10 if they’re making themselves feel like shit for it.
Practicing in matches is important too. You only build up execution for matches by playing more real matches and making the stress second nature.
Who’s the girl at the left in the drawing? Need to confirm if she’s merely a character of an anime series or actual FG franchise (anime style FGs like GG or BB are actual FG franchises).
Thats a big thing for me. Training mode time is important for building the foundation but for me at least I always have a big gap between what I’ve practiced and what I’ve done in matches. Like I can never begin to apply something until I fuck it up 10-15 times in match.
I also feel like I have the general problem of knowing some of the mechanical aspect of what to do but not really knowing how to apply it. So no matter how much time I spend grinding on the grid I get into matches and go “uh what now durrrrr time to jump”.
Not saying Akhos does or doesn’t do this just musing. Also why I feel like I need to keep getting whatever matches I can in.
Well that’s easy, you have actual talent and reactions needed to play this game well XP
Why the hell should I trash talk or act high and mighty when I get destroyed by just about everyone, it doesn’t make any sense
I give it 10/10 'cause improving is good
Doesn’t mean I should accept where I am as good though. Too far to go before that, and nothing wrong with acknowledging it
Practice doesn’t make up for bad reactions though
my reactions are average, and so are yours
go do a reaction test right now and post the result.
here’s mine
i dont believe you how about them apples >:c
