Like i said i was having a bad day the reason you got away unpunished so many times was because even though i had my charge my execution seemed to be severly impared today… thats what i said to begin with.
also i was trying to teleport once again my executoin… idk the damn teleport would come out.
also i was crossing up but my combos weren’t linking cause i was failing my execution.
after you caught onto my throws and started throwing back i saw every single one coming(also execution) the damn throws werent teching… grrrrr
overall a very frustrating day of SF4 for me
your play seemed to be very solid you blocking was good the only thing i really have to work on is teching grabs…
Use jab-throw mixup game more.Look at ign and find Eduardo Perez matches and how he uses the jab mix up game
+Use TAP or dash punch to build meter after throw then dash back after throws especially on Bison because I am not throwing the slide in that situation.
+work on using Balrog’s footsie’s more.(Maybe play some casuals with no specials.This worked for me with Bison)
+Use safe jumps more.
+Alos full screen dash punches are unsafe I think I remeber getting a free ultra.

GGs. Nice inside game; you caught me with a lot of sweeps. You also caught me with headbutt>ultra quite a bit, but sometimes it whiffed. You should learn how to hit that ultra as much as you possibly can from anywhere on the stage. I think you need to use Rog’s cr.HP/st.MP for anti air. Also, I didn’t see any of BnBs (like cr.lp>cr.lp>cr.lk>headbutt>ultra/super); you mainly just sweeped. That just might be your playstyle though. Other than that you had a really solid game.
Your Balrog was much better against me than your Abel. You were able to make good use of Abel’s command throw and very good use of his super. Your AA with Abel was pretty weak. Your were able to apply good pressure with Balrog. You did whiff several headbutts, which I only inconsistently punished. Your execution was very good with both chars. Let me know when you’re up for more.

Did you think there was any dropped inputs during that match? I was doing things but nothing was coming out and thats why I was constantly taking hadokens haha. You should use c.mk x FB more, its a good poke that you should utilize. Watch your jumping in the corner, I kept trying to do HB but it wouldn’t come out haha. Work on that SRK to Ultra, you didn’t use it once, and I was just jumping in to see if you would actually pull it out. Good job with stuffing my dash punches and use of FAs. Work on something to punish my missed HBs, you would just do c. jbs. Good use of AA, my stupid ass was jumping in way too much haha. Overall GG, hope to play again later.
Good Balrog. There were a few times in the first match where you missed the headbut into ultra, but you quickly rectified the problem in the following matches. You had a strong footsie game using liberal amounts of jabs and cr. rh to tear up my ryu. I did feel like you should have been more careful about watching out for my fireballs. Jumping in could have been more of a problem with someone who’s able to punish better with clutch SRK’s every time. A big thing was that I didn’t feel THAT uncomfortable in the corner, I felt you could have applied better pressure there, especially since I’m not good enough with my stick yet to air tatsu out of there. Good job baiting reversal SRK’s, I threw way too many.

Need Help on: Cammy and Fuerte matchup
Hey guys just got back from a tourney and i made top 16 i got eliminated by a cammy and fuerte…
So yeah i need some help with these matchups. Please if anyone can help me, add me.
Im mainly on a good majority of the time. so im looking forward to gg’s. and improving my Ryu game against these characters.
Vs MapleManiac
GG’s very aggersive ryu and akuma for the most part kinda surprised you would do ur full akuma bnb even though i blocked it was really random lol but it work try to cut down on it maybe work on footsies with ryu and akuma they have a pretty solid footsie game.
Vs Steinmania
Without a doubt your the best cammy player i have faced period your mix up game was very very solid sold footsie game and when i made a mistake u punished and it hurt :tup: only thing i say you can prolly improve on is when i would do my flip over head u have to options you can focus and punish unless u let go of focus to late or you and use cammy srk it will beat it clean i’m pretty sure i was pondering wither or not to jump in at you and when i did u focus and back dash or i eat a srk which made me realize you were going to AA w/e i did in the air and just watch those cannon drills chun can poke you outta them gg’s again hope to play you and maple soon
i have not followed this thread, but by request i’m submitting a review.
I just fought Jdeez42, he played boxer for all but 2 of the fights. My memory sucks, so i really wish i recorded our fights for analysis
He was generally spot on with execution with a few obvious blown combos where you jumped back for no apparent reason. I do think you need to poke more with boxer’s standing roundhouse. i dont remember if you used his Ex upper combos
Some pretty good mixup. You probably need to pressure more. The great boxers i have fought make me feel like a trapped mouse lmao
I really wish i could say more, but i think you are well on the right track to kicking ass in this game :tup:
You took advantage of the fact the I wasn’t AAing very well. Scored a lot of jump ins.
Good damage on your combos and use of meter on hit confirmed combos.
Didn’t see a lot of footsies from you. Try throwing some more cr.MK’s to get a little bit of damage and to control the space in front of you.
Try baiting my cr.mk by walking in and out of range. Punish whiff with cr.hk (kinda hard to time online)
I would add more tick throws into your block strings. Keep the mix up pressure on.
It seemed like the match would go your way once you get in. But when you get zoned out, you still mainly try to jump in to put pressure back on me. I would be a little more careful with the entry as others can punish that quite easily.
vs Dannk
Great Ryu. Those were the best games I played all day.
Excellent clutch playing when I had you down to very little life a few of the rounds.
Execution was good overall, but I got lucky a few times when you missed some of those harder links. I wouldn’t use them until you feel you execution is more spot on.
Missed links that ended with EX Tatsu left you safe.
Your tick throws had a very unusual timing which was good since it was harder to tech.
Using SRK’s to interrupt my strings is kinda risky. It was working good, but still risky.
Try not to Tatsu over FB’s from full screen. When you miss it’s awfully easy to punish. You can also get SRK FADC Ultra’d from your Tatsu. Be leary of cr.mk xx ex tatsu when your back is in the corner. I’d rather get thrown again than to eat that combo.
Pachi
I’m not sure why, buy my execution was waay off. I think I was just having a bad day, that or lack of sleep. You’re not a bad Chun. You hit me with a ton of ultras. Missed a few too though. I’m not exactly sure if Chun’s pokes regularly beat out of Cannon Spike, but it seemed to happened lot. Your overhead move got me almost every time. I kind of wish there wasn’t any lag, but I guess I should learn what to do when there isn’t a perfect connection.
I didn’t miss ultra cammy is just one of those characters who drop out of chun’s juggle in the corner i get you to almost 3/4 of the screen to get the full juggle
Yea, definately ggs, man. I’ve been doing those tough links just to get used to using them in a match. Interesting about the tick throws…was wondering why this guy I was playing at a gathreing friday was getting so frustrated by them lol.
-I was interrupting your strings mostly because I noticed that you’d let me. All your c.mk were followed by a fireball, and you usually through something else out after c.jab, c.jab. c.mk x fireball isn’t safe. On block, you can reversal srk the c.mk and go right through the fireball. Overall, you just weren’t baiting much.
-Be a little more careful with the fireballs…the pressure was good, but I missed a lot of ultras being dumb. When I was up close and focused through one, to eat another…it was me missing my ultra.
-Super…you got me really good with this the first time you got your bar, but weren’t really able to do anything with it the rest of the matches even though you got it at least once a match. I was being very careful, but I still had to be unsafe to get up to you and put myself at risk. If you get that bar, hit the dude with it. People are scared of super…but only if they get hit everytime you get that bar.

Haha you surprised me by joining, cause I remember that beatdown you gave me last time. I’ve been working on that neutral jump and the jump back fp against rufus. I always fuck up and mash jab into hands and the ex hands drives me crazy haha. You still got a lil dive kick happy and I notice when you got that ex meter, your always going for that ex messiah kick. SMH at me for always noticing but never doing anything about it. I can predict when you were gonna jump or grab and thats why I always hit you with that EX BS. You have a raw abel, I always try to match your command grab with mine haha. SMH at me for that random ultra, I was just buffering it haha, didn’t know abel’s ultra could punish it like that, thats a new fact of the day. Be careful of the FAs with abel, I can break them easily with hands or HB. I noticed you mistimed that ultra in the corner, but hey I wouldn’t know that either, I guess it has a faster startup than you expected. You rarely used COD, trying using that more. I can’t really say much about your rog, you missed a couple combos, is honda a bad matchup you on with rog? Cause I know it is with me. You could of been working on rufus/abel today, today is honda day for me haha. GGs, I love I get full connection with you pause.
man you got so much better. before your honda was whatever but now hes a beast. i could barely get rounds on you. you anti aired me like a champ and kept me out. i could get any offense to start. i cant really comment cause you were so solid but one thing i noticed is everytime i walked up you would ultra i know you did that cause i threw but a better player will punish you for that. ggs man
pachiafro vs reelsmartkid
ggs man really good chun. your zoning and footsies were on point and you anti aired pretty good. there were barely anytimes you messed up a combo so gs on that. you played defensive until you had to turn on the offense gs on that. i noticed you didnt throw much so throw more thats all i can remember but anyways ggs man!
ps wkwong11 can you add on the first page that i also play abel now. i just picked him up.
