Well, I’ve been sitting here with this Lei X Xiaoyu youtube upload for the past several hours and now the total minutes have climbed to over 9000.
Good job youtube, good job.

Maybe this makes you feel better but maximilian has the same problem apparently
Yeah, I just saw. So it seems that US youtube servers are having a big problem…glad to hear it’s not just me (sort of).
Hope this gets fixed soon.
Well, since youtube is still having problems here, might as well post the first batch of matches from my time with Lei X Xiaoyu:
Think I did okay with these two considering only a week of experience, but don’t expect anything too fancy. I should have gotten punished harder for some of the stuff I did, but I guess that just shows how little people know about the Lei match-up.
Patience is virtuous.
Yeah, I know my launch game is terrible right now, I’ve been very lazy about learning it, that needs to improve.
For what it’s worth, I actually think Blanka has one of the best wakeups in the game… with meter. EX Thunder, EX Upball and EX Rainbow Roll are all amazing wakeup moves, and it means that when he’s got bar, he has very little to worry about no matter what position he’s in (EX Rainbow Roll is a free get out of the corner move, and EX Thunder is fully strike invincible and +8 on block).
Without meter, I totally agree, his wakeup game sucks, and that’s one of the main reasons I’m probably going to switch to a meter gem loadout soon.
who do you guys feel the top 3 worst match-ups in the game are?
hworang vs. poison
akuma vs. ibuki
Orge vs. craig
Alisa/Raven vs Hugo.
I don’t understand why those 3 are the worst.
That’s a good question. In my opinion some contenders for possibly the top 3 worst match-ups in the game would be:
Zangief vs Dhalsim
Raven vs Hugo
Lili vs Jack-X (Assuming Lili gets in on Jack-X)
Asuka vs chun. Have fun with that one. T.T
Kaz vs Bryan is also really bad, but probably not “worst”
Fighting games are hard to play with a broken thumb. >:T
Scrub
once hwo gets in, he’s in…forcefully with no lube
Akuma can give ibuki problems because of his fireball and oki
I think orge’s normals just shutdown craig completely when played right, its more of a guessing game vs. the craig player
Back in the day we played with our feet, elbows, tongue…any limb that could press a button was used.
You’re soft.
BrollyLegs plays without thumbs, you have no excuse.
Hmm…that’s interesting. I’ve been trying Guy out some more in training, messing around with bushin chain jump cancel cancels, and it appears that you can’t cancel the pre-jump frames of the jump cancel into Pandora or Cross Assault (Pandora I just get elbow drop or just an empty jump with no meter, tag cancel if I do have meter. If I try to cross assault I just get the MK version of his Bushin Senpukyaku), but you can cancel the pre-jump frames into a cross art, super art, or any special/EX move.
EX Thunder is so godlike. That thing is like a burst. I’ll bust it out after pissing the opponent off with like 3 knock downs, then watch their reversal super fly right through me.
I don’t see the Blanka vs Akuma match up as being that terrible for blanka though. Blanka’s mobility is a huge help for Akumas air shenanigans, and Blanka’s main weakness (low solo damage) is somewhat mitigated by Akuma’s low health. Plus Blanka gets a free hard knockdown punish off every blocked sweep. It’s not going in Blanka’s favor any time soon, but I don’t see it being too far from even.
On the subject of bad match ups, I’m pretty sure Jack vs Kazuya is awful for the bot. Once kaz gets in…ugh. Like as jack what are you supposed to do without a non projectile dp and god awful low short.
