vs The Brown 0ne
Good games. I don’t why our game was so choppy, we had green bars. Go figure
I really liked your Chun Li and Blanka. Your mix ups kept me guessing. I was having trouble teching your throws, and you took advantage of it and got a lot of damage on me through that. With Chun, you were very patient and very careful. I didn’t get too much AA damage on you at all.
With Blanka and Ryu, it seemed though at times you got a little over aggressive with the jump ins. I was able to punish those a bit more towards the end of our set. I took a lot of throws after whiffed HP SRK, but you should try to use some more damaging BnB’s instead.
On the mirror match, I felt kinda pressured because of the hadoukens; I couldn’t really execute anything. I kept throwing tatsus out thinking you were going to hadouken which ended up in punishes by you. You AAed a lot of my bad jump ins.When I was using Chun-Li, i jumped in a lot with a hard punch target combo, but you always forgot to block it’s second hit. You had a solid ground game, but you need to mix it up a bit. I only used Blanka twice, so I don’t really remember what happened.
You also didn’t really use your meters and saved them for super instead. EX Hadouken is nice for a knock down and to follow up w/ some pressure and maybe some mixups.
We had some decent games, but there was some random lag.
Good games but a bit too laggy for me but other than that you thought me alot… I definitly need to get my Arcade stick fix lol and I need to work on my cross ups and be more patient with my character…but your game is very solid but I saw somethings you need to fix minor things only like your wake up game needs improvement…I grab you 6 times before you figure it out, your too overly aggressive and thats not entirely a bad thing but once some one takes that away from you you might have to switch it up(but you might have a plan B i don’t know didn’t get that far lol) your defense needs improvement against shoto’s shoryuken is very dangerous and someone like ryu’s dp can cause major damage against you or even sagat but other than that wow you thought me that I need a plan against rush down fighters and over all your game is solid…thanks for sparring with me!!!
Okay, so I haven’t done shit in this thread because right after I put my name in the hat I got a TE stick and I fucking suck with it. I was planning on waiting for a month or so until I get back up to speed, but I thought I’d ask here.
Do you guys want me to keep participating while I get used to playing on stick, even though I’ll get owned for free? Or should I just wait until I’m used to the stick and can provide SOME kind of a challenge to scrubs and intermediates?
well if anyone want to spar with me hit me up…I have a arcade stick but due to the stick not properly working towards the right I have to put it down and wait for my Sanwa JFL octo plate stick to arrive so in the meantime I have to use the wack a$$ xbox control lol
Still currently waiting on two more matches to be completed in Round 2 before we can move to the Semi’s.
kyarisan vs ImTomDotCom (I see both you guys on every night! Let’s get it going )
a big irish man vs SabeZ30 (Should be done tonight if still on schedule)
Next Tournament
After Round 2 is done, we will go ahead and start a new tournament as I’m sure many of you are itching to get in on it. However, from the turn out of the first tournament, I think to ensure a fast and smooth tournament, we are going to have to establish prerequisites for joining.
We’ll make it somewhat easy this time around. To be eligible to enter, you must have at least 4 points on our point standings. That’s as easy as playing with 2 other people on the thread, and posting up feedback. I see over 15 people on whenever I go on, no reason as to why some aren’t getting games.
Those with 4pts+ please PM me with your Gamertag and times available for play (note your time zone). I’ll try to put those who have similar times together to make it a little smoother.

I don’t know Sagat well so I can’t give too much advice.
The good:
[LIST]
[]Never threw any moves out without a purpose.
[]Picked Sagat (always a good move)
[/LIST]
The bad:
[LIST]
[*]Once I get past 3/4 of the screen start watching for what I do in reaction to the fireballs, you were a little trigger happy with the Tiger Shots.
[/LIST]
Akuma:
The good:
[LIST]
[]Offense was much tighter than with Sagat.
[]Great mix up with Demon Flip.
[/LIST]
The bad:
[LIST]
[]Shakus seem very unsafe against Rog when hes past half-screen
[]Don’t get impatient with your ultra. Sit on it and wait for the perfect moment. Remember just having ultra stocked forces me to play totally differently.
