What time you trying to get on? And what system?
I can try to get on about 10 or so tonight.
Well tonight. I’m working and tomorrow I’m leaving to Vancouver for the weekend, so that would be for Monday?? Unless tomorrow morning is good for you…
I get off at 5 and will be home at around 6. I’ll be on PS3 till about 10 and then will hop on 360 to run some with IAM. If you wanna play on 360 or PS3 just let me know which at any time. I just need to play lol.
And take it easy. Its been 5 weeks. Well no, as a matter of fact, bring the pain. I need to shape back up fast!
I can probably pop on after 7 for a couple of hours. I know you are still going to beast on me so knock off this modesty shit! XD
Great games last night fellas. Sun, Climaxter, Martinez and Gamma. Crazy rusty man, I needed that.
Yeah man same here. Last night was a long ass session for me. Towards the last hour or so i just didnt give a fuck lol
Climaxter - LOL, man, there were times where I would just stand there to see if you were gonna do something. I would just stand there and so would you. If you could’ve seen how hysterical I would laugh at some points. You really are just content with waiting and I dont think I’ve ever seen that from any player playing any character. I had to actually play more patient than you if I wanted to in. I narrowed down my gameplan to waiting YOU out until I got a knockdown and then mixing up from there. So strange man but affective for you. I can see how that works. Its not turtling…because you’re not retreating…its more like (thinking)…I look at your style running parallel to a Cobra. You just stand, move back and forth, maybe chuck some plasma and if you’re opponent gets close you strike and then reset. Fanangling that is quite a task. But I can see that you’ve added some good lateral movement and a bit of attack, more so than you used to. You do more fadc’ing through now and dashing which is good and actually fits you well. With our quick dash you are able to strike quick and reset like I mentioned. Great games.
Friendly constructive criticism - Most people would say your style sucks but you’re you. You’ve been doing this since day one and you’ve mastered it. You’re beginning to add more attack but not overdoing it which is good and I would imagine works well for you. You should use overhead more. It has crazy reach and it would fit into your stick and move thing you have going on. I also think you should use flip throw more but off of pressure. Not just random flip in throw. There were also times where I beat you at your own game. I would wait and wait and wait and you would just flip in eventually. Flip into an ultra too because thats exactly what I was waiting for. I knew you werent going to approach on the ground. Also your poke game is completely negated because you’re never close enough to your opponent to apply. You have good defense in teching but up close defense regarding pokes and mixup pressure gets you. You have an excellent excellent Gouken imo none the less. You have sort of an x factor that I cant pinpoint. I start off every match just hoping to get a knockdown.
Sun - You kept focusing my sweeps and it was killing me lol. You move very fast like me so in our matches it seemed to all boil down to reads. And omg how many raw ex palms did I get caught with. You’re getting much much better which is a bit scary. Where are your points? You have awesome reactions and are a good strategic thinker. You’ve added f.st.hp which is great, you dont do too many ill advised jump ins, stay very poised and have good corner pressure.
Friendly constructive criticism - You palm like crazy and you know its unsafe so at points I dont understand the logic. I couldnt punish you ever seemed like because we were online but offline that would be a no go. Alot of times you hit because mp palm is quite difficult to react to. I would try and tatsu you or something, seeing the palm coming and get hit. Blocked palms I could just not punish with the online. You try that vs a shoto or vs Cody or something and its a guarantee punish. You’re good at doing dj.mp on reaction to a jump in but I preyed on the fact that you’re so good with it. I KNEW everytime I flipped in or jumped in that it was coming so I would simply flip parry in and because you always jump back I only receive one hit. I would parry and Ultra you on your descend. You need to learn to cancel the mp into tatsu. You should keep this in your toolset but use it not so much. If you see someone jumping in tatsu that ass. Dj.mp one hit gives you no damage at all. AA normal or ex tatsu. Be that brick wall. Amazing Gouken bro.
Martinez - we only played two matches and I cant even remember them cuz I was so tired. We’ll run tonight.
Any of you guys got anything for me? Preferably bad. I was crazy rusty after not playing for 5 weeks but it started to come back slowly. I have a bad habit of jumping out of the corner and Sun kept hitting me with diagonal hado’s into palm which put me right back in. And no matter how many times I mashed on tech I kept getting back thrown. I was beyond frustrated at that. I also can be impatient at times. I would like some criticism from outsiders though.
Mwwwwuuhaaaaaaaahaaaa hhhhhhhaaaaaaa…return of shin sho
I willbe on no doubt at various times today…and night…ill probablyjust sttart and sit in a lobby in a while…
Hey amigo…the sharks are circling near the kids at the water park…login to ur xbl and get served some respect…hoe…
hahahahahahaahahahahahhaha this guy is hilarious!!! so he went to iraq or the middle east to work, right??? no no no, i heard he went on to play against Osama Gouken, the one from kuwait!!! hahahahahahahahahahahaha oh man sorry but i couldn’t keep on that!!! hahahahahahahah… he said he’s rusty, this and that and when i get to the lobby he’s bodying every one and just remind me of one post from climaxter
hahahahahahahahahahhahaahahahahahahah modesty shit!!! hahahahahahahahahh, or probably he was in the gravity/trainning room for the 5 weeks!!! hahahahahahahah
i have one question for you dek, is there a different timing for the dive kick (comand dive kick) because when you do it, it seems like you wiff on purpose and then throw…
ohh here’s the video of the osama guy…lolololololololololololololhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=7ig1qdb-FsI
Dek - you’ve pretty much critiqued yourself. Imo thats all you need to work on.
LMAO Martinez. You’re crazy man lol. You just came in the lobby toward the end when I got a bit of my wind back. Before that I was getting tossed around by those two like a rag doll.
Yeah, the command dive kick…you can faux it or safe jump it just like the regular dive kick setup. I normally do the safe jump a few times, then when maybe the 3rd or 4th time I faux it. It looks almost exactly the same. The opponent is so concerned with whether to block high or low after they just got hit with the safe jump overhead and comboed (lol) that they normally forget to tech. So I faux it on purpose and immediately throw a few times in.
That link is bad up there but I wish I could play Osama. That dude beat Diago lol
Oh yea and i got the few anti ex tatsu or some countertech w it on wakeup tatsu
Dek:
What can I say? Your defensive reactions and reads are godlike. Your use of cl.st.hk to stop cross ups are entirely frustrating and your followup to that breaks my soul. Your safe jump that lands early and frame traps EVERYTHING Gouken can do short of an ultra guess is sickening. String dash grab, string dash lp. palm, string dash sweep, string dash ultra. For the love of Cheetos, you were sweeping me from more than half a screen away. I dubbeth you DashMaster Magoo! I’m not giving you pointers, fuckpants. Partly because I don’t want you to know any weaknesses I see in your game so I can still try to exploit them but mostly because I DON’T FREAKING SEE ANY! Most of my, what, 4 wins came from you being too bold or being slightly late on a punish…probably lag. Your comments about my play style are much too generous and not Sun nor I were were knocking you around like a ragdoll. You had a 16 game win streak against two very competent Goukens until I managed to bait your confidence into whiffing an ultra. My perspective: You are the motherfucking chosen one.
So. Jealous.
I’m soooo jealous.
I probably will never be able to fight you guys.
I live in Brazil and don’t think I will be able to get even a yellow bar with any of you. >_>"
There are not many Goukens here, which is a pity because It’s the only mirror I like.
Wow…
Much appreciated sir and humbling to say the least. You had more than 4 wins LOL. I lost to both of you guys at least 6-7 times each I believe. Really really great matches man. I did sweep you from really really far on more than one occassion lol. It was weird because I wasnt trying to do that. It appeared I hit your limbs or something but I was sweeping because you would focus through hados and I wanted to catch a knockdown. Ugh, that time you baited me with that lp flip parry broke my heart. I saw the flip parry but I thought I would at LEAST get the multi hit ultra. NOPE! Land for death.
Session later today?..anyone?
I wont be on tonight but I’ll be on tomorrow evening and all day Sunday.
Im on…anyone.
I’ll be on in an hour or so
