hey clydebyrd
I need some practice vs Gief… hit me up
Hey Guys,
Try using the IRC chat to hook up with other players for practice sessions. Usually about 6-10 XBL players in there. Check the OP for directions.
Also, if you have the space, you can easily add everyone on the list to your friends list by doing it online. That way you can copy paste. Directions are also in the OP.
Vs. Vietxmikey
Good games. My only real recommendation is that when you’re crouching and hitting me, have one of Boxer’s specials ready for a nice combo.
vs. SabeZ30
I don’t have much to say as I have too many issues with execution to really say much.
Hey guys Im a Ryu player and im looking for some practice, just add me/ message me ill be on almost all night, so anytime would be fine!

Hey, good games man, solid Ryu. I want to play you again some time.
Anyone looking for some practice right now? I use ryu as well. Although not that good yet so don’t expect greatness, but I’m not noobie either
Btw, anyone who wants to play (can’t right now as of this post) I can record our matches and put them on my YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/TheBizziB). It can be the best way for others to give us pointers and tips.
Voice-overs optional. :bgrin:
@Vaccant1 I like the good and the bad but in my opinion finding 10 holes and solutions just works better simply because you can give a finer line of detail for critiquing someone.
Gentlemen, please stop trying to set up casuals on this thread. It is much easier to READ the OP (first post) and get on the webchat version of IRC. You don’t need to download anything and you can freely ask other members to play. Either this or add people on your friend’s list which mine is almost full so IRC it up! Please.
Juicy Mackin vs BEY Bass
(Akuma, Ryu, Sagat, Bison) vs Akuma
We played an unintentional first to five, coz I had to call the fiancee.
General anti-akuma tips: don’t jump in on an akuma with ultra, at least don’t make it obvious. Also, don’t focus near him.
Akuma:
Honestly I don’t remember the match as it was the first one. It was also a little laggy initially so I was pretty pissed and didn’t pay attention. 5 bars, go figure. I just remember you teleporting away from my f.mp kara’ed super.
Ryu:
Too many obvious jump-ins that were punished accordingly. Great cross-up defense, that srk was clutch. It looks like you have the c.mkxxhado bnb down. Against akuma, you need to be mid-screen or closer. At full screen, you don’t stand a chance against his shaku. You should at least c.fierce some of my demon flips, if you didn’t pre-buffer an srk. Also, I don’t know what that super was meant to do. I was bating a reversal, but you superred instead.
Sagat:
I think you did too many random TUs that I should’ve punished better, but I couldnt cancel the c.fierce for the life of me in that first round. Try to be less predictable with your tiger shots. I plain jumped over a ton of them and ex-demon flipped another two. Get in close on akuma and use lk tiger knee for safe block strings. Also, you need to know the range of your normals. You were trying to c.mkxxLTS me a few times but I swept the whiffed c.mk. I also ate a semi-random ultra while I stuck in the whiffed c.fierce recovery. You need to use more ex tiger shots, and mix them in with your regular ones. Vary it up, and don’t be predictable. Sagat’s super really isn’t worth the meter. Nice punishes of my meaty shaku attempts. I need to figure out the spacing on that.
Bison:
You did a bunch of devil’s reverses that don’t really scare akuma (far hk will make sure you whiff). Again, you need to get in close and pressure with bison’s scary normals. standing mk and standing hk ftw. You need to know the range of your scissors and when they’re safe. Ex scissors at point blank is just asking for it.
Overall, try to reversal less, and make ur tick throw attempts less obvious, I reversalled almost all of them and teched a couple. It’s better to just block than eat a fat combo on punish. It was a little laggy so my execution was off and I couldn’t punish like I should have.
ggs dude, and hope to play you again soon.
Desi Monk vs reelsmartkid
ggs man! your ryu is pretty good. i noticed you didnt anti air me to much.
so i wasnt really scared to jump in. another thing is i didnt see you shoryu FADC ultra at all
thats one of ryus best tools start using it more. and against rufus everytime i divekick thats
a free shoryu. just putting that out there. but other than that solid ryu and once again ggs!
ClydeByrd vs reelsmartkid
yo man i just wanna say this right now. disgusting gief absolutely disgusting lol.
and i mean that in a good way. the way you play is very unique. most giefs
just try and get to me what you did was play patiently and make me go to you.
haha i was getting impatient so me being me i had to go and attack you. sometimes
i would get you in the corner and jab you but you would clutch it out and win.
everytime i jumped (yeah i know jumping on gief is a bad idea) i didnt really get anti
aired. so i dont know if gief has a reliable AA but i felt safe jumping in. so yeah ggs!
Gief’s has a crouching heavy that can be an AA I think, or at least its used on me like that, and sometimes they just use Lariet to do there anti air job, works on people without divekicks and even sometimes people with divekicks. Im suprised the Gief you fought wasn’t using lariet as an AA Cause EVERYONE In G1 does it and its awefully annoying, along with this does anyone know how to gtfo out of El fuerte’s Spamming while your down on the ground and Geif’s Cross up spam. I know with geif you can block but then you get thrown, im looking for a way out of both of there spam’s that is safe and won’t get you grabbed or attacked or generally the best way to get out of them. Along with that someone add me and practice some more!
Aboffman vs Maple Maniac
(not to sure of his SRK fourms name but yea.)
GG’s I liked the matches but you tended to turtle sometimes which annoyed me because I loose to turtles right off, idk if you were trying to help me get better or not but if you were thanks, either way you were practice in general. Your major problem is you lock up when your being rushed down, i noticed it with all of your characters. Once I got on the major offensive you couldn’t react according which led to using random wake up attacks and random wake up ultra’s. Of course me i didn’t expect them so yea i got hit but there a bad habit to get into because they won’t work all the time.
Bison
I think I liked your Bison most of all. He was stable, you could sit back and chill with him and fight accordingly, or you could cross up. THough you NEED to work on the cross up better. I see that you can do it for the most part but you do mess up at times. Along with that i don’t promote sitting there and waiting but if you want to you can. For the most part you came to me but at times you just waited for me to go to you. Like I said up there you did a random ultra with him, very bad habit to get into and i suggest not using it. I Enjoyed how everytime you jumped you did the double punch, it was a great idea actually and it made me scared to jump in on your Bison. Liked these matches the best.
Akuma:
Your Akuma was ok. Though Theres not much I can say about him, you did good with using your Air hadouken’s for cover then the demon flip to get in on me, though i could punish it everytime. Again you did a random wake up ultra which i didn’t expect. There not good to do, i mean Akuma’s is probably one of the safest ultra’s to do on wake up but still. Bad habit. I didn’t mind these matches either but i still enjoyed your Akuma.
Balrog:
As for Balrog I’ve always hated the character because of his jabs. Though you didn’t use those at all and you should use them more often. They’re a very good weapon since his jabs are like god jabs. But don’t over use them. You didn’t really mix up with Balrog and you seemed to lock up when I rushed you down, once you were on the ground you were confused on what to do. Just gotta get better at wake up attacks and all.
Over all it was fun and relaxing. Nothing like the Sagat’s on G1 and the turtle’s With Turbo on G1! I enjoyed the fight with you and Hope to fight you again sometime
Just played my tourney match with kyarisan.
I won.
I’m not sure what input to give you. I’m familiar with the Chun match, most players issues is they’re not familiar with the Gen match up :[
My input I guess would to zone me. Try to keep me out with projectiles and normals, that’s where I usually find issues, when I’m right out of my st.MK range.
You seemed like you had really good control over Chun though and probably just unfamiliar with how Gen works! We’ll play more man and we’ll get you prepared to fight the top Gen players haha. All two of them 
EyeLoveSF4 vs BEY Bass
Ryu vs Akuma started as a first to five where I was down 5-2, ended up leading 8-6 and tying 8-8 before I had to go. Close matches/rounds mostly, except for two perfects 
ggs dude. One of the better ryus I’ve played. You just need to get your links off of 2xc.lp down and you’re golden. That’s a lot of missed punishment there. Try not to focus as much when akuma has ultra. The game was a little laggy with 3 bars so I couldn’t effectively punish your focuses, but they are very dangerous.
I missed a ton of links off far hk and got srk FADC ultra’d for it twice. speaking of which, you got that shit down dude, damn…nice teching of my tic throw attempts as well. Didn’t miss a single hado cancel off a c.mk - careful with those at max range. A better player could focus the fireball and punish you.
You also read my fireballs pretty well and tatsu’d at the right time…I need to mix it up a little! I need to work on incorporating focuses in my game and mix it up with more demon flips. I also missed 3 AA demons that would’ve landed had I not choked.
Lol yea, Gen’s a bitch and i definitely sleep on his shit, we should play some other time lol.
sorry i’ve been MIA lately, ill be on tonite and hope to get some games in with a few ppl that have been on my friends list from here.
Vs newbkills(wkwong11)
oh man I don’t really have much constructive critisism for you unfortunatly. You whooped me becuase of my jump ins and inability to stop ultraing on my wake up. Good reaction time and anti air. Again I found no weak points yet. I hope to spar wih you again.
Vs Shin Kimosabi (KiMo5aBi)
I can’t say much either. I like how u play your akuma. You can be offensive and defensive which is good, you don’t rush all the time nor run and air fireball. Although the only thing I have to say is when you opponent wakes up don’t always go for a fireball becuase I got you with the ultra a couple times. Mix up between offense and defense when you and your opponent wake up.
Ggs guys and I hope to play you guys again
