SRK Training Team (XBL)

vs Shirase Akira

ggs man. you have pretty good execution. during our matches you were pretty standoff from me. kept your distance. This was really working to your disadvantage. for the first 20 games you played like this which didnt help you mich. im sure you were just really unfamiliar with the match-up unfortunately most people are, which is the opposite for me since everyone and their momma uses ryu, so i have a lot of experience against him. you had some psychic dps that led to ultra, but i think you were just dping because since we had been playing so many matches you were getting a feel for when i most likely would jump and thats why you were doing them, cause there were times when it would seem like i would jump but didnt and you through out that fierce DP which led to a damaging punishment. you have plenty of time to react to me jumping before you dp, there is no real need to catch me as im about to lift off the ground. After i gave you some tips on how to approach me, at around match 20 you implemented them, and it worked REALLY good for you. you still were not able to pull off a W but the matches got much more intense and troublesome for me. GS on that. it wasnt until then that you did ryu’s bnb ultra combo. you also tried to be a little more pokey and use FA more which was good. I really wish i was more consistent with reacting to my attacks being absorbed by FA, hell i even hit one on purpose, cause what i can do is cancel into parry, but i missed every one that i tried. but good stuff with FAing really close to me to absorb that fb and snag a crumple that worked really well for you once you started doing it. As for me missing ultras, i think i missed a total of 3 actually, one off of backthrow cuase i wasnt sure what i was gonna do at first then i decided and it was too late. the other 2 were when i tried to get off my ultra from the ex palm strike without fadc, which is pretty hard to do consistently. overall good games dude i look forward to playing you again in the future

Good Balrog. You used his superior pokes well to keep me at bay most of the time. Played defensive which kept me guessing and made it hard to advance. I suggest practicing the execution of his BnB combo that you can link into his Ultra. I don’t think you performed it through our 8 matches. Threw out a little too many unsafe headbutts which can be punished. Your charge punches also got a little predictable where I could bait with a dragon punch. So, as a rundown:

PROS:

  • Good use of pokes and their range
  • Defensive and careful play
  • Did not jump often / wasn’t predictable with jump-ins

CONS:

  • No use of BnB combos into Ultra
  • Too many unsafe Headbutts
  • Predictable charge attacks over time
  • Cross-up game

Looking forward to future matches!

Yea most of the reason i was missing that was because it was like 3:30 in my time and i was tired, also my Akuma sucks i just picked him up and i get whatcha mean

Im Flattered at your comments, I noticed you were messing up sometimes but… You did those combo’s well i’d love to play you again. Hopefully we will fight in the future and you will improve and i will improve too! It will be fun

well i didnt win one match so no…plus i dont really know what goukens look to do…a matchup i have no clue about ur the first one i played…but i think you were good so just keep what ur doing? iduno lol

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the Balrog mirror is not the funnest match. I know I messed up my combos a lot, that has been happening too often recently. I don’t know what the issue is, but Im trying to get them back up to the level that they used to be at. Great insight on the tick throw mix up! I never even though about the walk back to mp.
Your balrog was very solid, and I really envy your rushdown game. Your were almost always applying pressure and it was tough for me to get control of the match. You were also very consistent with your combos, so good work on that. One thing that I would say you could work on was being more aware of neutral jumps on wake up, i think I got you a few times with that trick. Other than that good work! Really well played!

Tournament Match
Round 3
ImTomdotcom vs SabeZ30
5-2 ImTomdotcom

SabeZ30:

Good games again. Very defensive, good zoning again.
You did a lot of unsafe uppercuts on wake up which I started to take advantage of. Also, many times you traded an uppercut with my j.fierce and you didn’t ultra.
I’m not sure what else I can comment on. You played well as last time.
I remember last time you questioned me burning two meters just to throw you. It may seem like a waste to you, but it gets you on the ground with no quick get up. and Gen builds meter very quickly, so I rarely have to worry about not having meter!

Good games man, had a lot of matches, whew.

rm86

Watch the random SRKs, there was a few times were u caught doing that. Good basic combs (c.mk x FB). I was actually waiting for you to hit the SRK into Ultra, you got me one time, but I saw a couple more opportunities where you could of done it. I was getting you with the dash low alot, be careful with that. However, the match was noticeably laggy, overall gg. Hope to play you again.

Vs Alex6x6x6 & MartinRob & Heishin Concept

I couldn’t really get a read on your game too well since we only fought four times. You picked E.Honda two of those times so I’ll give you advice on him. You should abuse his headbutt much more. E.Honda is a tough fight for Balrog.

MartinRob. You’ve dramatically improved your game since the last time we played. You jump much less now, and use mix-up tick throws. When I played Abel I had to painfully chase you. I say painfully since thats what you wanted and I met alot of resistance. You still don’t have the SRK Ultra combo but I can see you’re getting there. You even did a combo I haven’t seen with Ryu before. Use your C.MK more against Balrog. It stuffs all my dash punches. Or you can SRK me on reaction. You were jabbing me out of them. Which is better than blocking but it didn’t make me scared to still use dash punches.

Concept. Beat me pretty bad again. I did a little better that time. You time your safe jumps perfect so they’re actually safe. When I pick Abel I can take your guile if you decide to go defensive. But If you go offensive I get destroyed quickly. I always miss my Swing Blow combos on guile. Gotta remember to use C.MP instead of C.LK. Seems like you’re always waitiing for the mistake with a ex flash kick too.

Ryboy v JuicyMackin

here are some more casual matches from me (Dic) and Juicy (AK) i wonder what it will be like when we have to face in the practice tourney one of these days… we know how eachother fight very well.



Ryboy v. EyeLoveSF4

many of the rounds come down to the last poke with Eye usually taking it with a crossup mix… i need to find a consistent way of getting outta that maybe start FADC forward dashing…idk more to come…also unedited i will post good match rounds soon (most are close though)
We played about twenty games overall

VS RYBOY

first of good games

  • You should poke more

  • Also seems like you rush yur combo’s couple fights u was mashing jab
    take time and the links will flow

  • You let me get u in the corner a few times not a good place to be against Rog

  • Teleport away if you need space u hardly used it

-Work on them combo’s

  • Your throws were on point

  • Mix it up a lil, e.g c.lp > c.lp > c.mk > devils reverse/head stomp, catches alot of ppl out

  • But the main thing you need 2 work on is your combo’s, Cos u was not hitting alott of them

  • oh yea and use c.hp

Here’s the video’s from our matches

you can see what you need 2 work on

I sent my opponent, BEY Bass, a message about the 2nd tournament.
I prolly won’t be able to play until sunday afternoon, as Ill be out of town for an offline tournament. Hopefully that’s not too late.

I think we’re both on at different times too, so i hope to catch him on.

vsjdeez42
We only played a few games so i didnt really get a good amount of time to gauge pros and cons , i can say what i thought you did well and that was use your throws well. after the first couple of games i teched a few but not nearly enough. I also felt i jumped in to much on you. which you seemed to punish everytime so good work. we will have to play again but a more extended set.

vs. Final Goose
gg’s man , i had a lot of fun playing you last night. a couple of things to work on with your abel is just punishing better , i would whiff a srk or something like that and you would just throw. just something to think about. also i was able to AA some of your roll jumpins. when you were abel most of our fights were down to the wire. When you were Balrog it was a completely different story. I didnt know how to deal with the constant pressure you put on me and it showed in the end result. A couple of times you were throwing random headbutts, but i didn’ punish properly.

Eyelovesf4
It has been a while since we have played and your fireball game has really improved. I didnt put up much of a fight though unfortunately. You used your FA really well again and i continued to get hit by them. which really started to frustrate me. We had a couple of really laggy games at the start but it seemed to go away near the end. gg’s though for sure.

Ryboy

In your match against skerman007 I saw that you could of won those matches against his Rog. One of the miss opportunities that I saw that you missed when you use lp lp was that you didn’t use the throw button. I believe I saw you throw maybe 2 times if I’m correct, you could of thrown his Rog atleast 8 times that could of help you win the matches but over all it was a good match but incorporate some lp lp throw combos in there…

Skeman007

Good Rog I must say but I saw that you really ain’t aggressive with Rog like most Rog’s. The only time you were aggressive was when you had him in the corner which you were right in saying “in the corner isn’t a good place to be in agaisn’t Rog” but try to be a little more aggressive with Rog…

I’m out of town this weekend. Can maybe play late sunday night. Sorry I couldn’t catch you at all the past couple of days, but at least I got in some good practice with Sabez, Maple Maniac, and skemar…

thanks for the advice

vs GangstaStyle05

  1. You should hit training mode and practice some combos…
  2. Use c.mk>>hado…out of the 10 games we played you didnt use it once…literally and its like his best poke
  3. You should trade a lot more…ryu can take punishment fairly well and also has the juggle options.
  4. Stop waking up shry…you especially ex…you wasted a lot of meter doing this.

but gg…hope my lil tips can help

Thanks Skerman007 I wish I had my xbox so I can play you but i have towait until the 31st…
