We have about 9 people who says they can make it so far. We need a 7 more people for this to go down. Just so you know, there are no point requirements. You should need to show up at the designated time.
Let’s try to have at least 16 people so we don’t have any byes. So…
WHO’S IN??? 
VS Phatal PHD & FightClubNearU & WkWong11
Phatal.
You don’t seem to know the balrog match-up too well with Bison. It’s not easy on either side. You should add tick throws and crossups to your game. Bison’s tick throw is said to be better than average. You low forward and focus attacks to disrupt my constant barrage of dash punches. Learn his BnB’s. Play against FightClubNearU His Bison does all this stuff I just said and more.
Fight.
Close fights here. Excluding the Abel ones. You did alot of things the average Bison doesn’t from my exp. The missed headstomps to throws. Grabbing me through half of my turn punches. Throwing out 2 C.MK’s which completely threw off my timing. The only thing flaw I saw were all the C.HK’s. I didn’t punush you as often as I should have for those.
Newb.
Your Ryu has upped his vocabulary. Despite the lag I saw you using alot of different moves that you didn’t during our first encounter like tick throws and landing your Srk fadc ultra 100% percent now.
i’ll play
Frame Data and how to use it for those who find it too complicated
ok for the ppl who dont think this stuff helps them…so say you are getting baited by someone who is either using a a small space between there attackt to either counter or do a special. and no matter what you seem to try you keep getting beat out right by that move. look at the frame data according to the cercumstance they are using(block stun, whiff, hit advantage,etc…) then look at your own frame data and see what comes out faster or if there is nothing and you just need to keep blocking. or maybe you need to build meter quick also good find good normals that link and you got yourself a good stun combo without even haveing to look at a combo list… that is how I use the frame data at least
Kyarisan (Chun) vs MartinRob (Ryu) 5-3 kyarisan
I feel that you’ve stepped your game up from the last time we played, which is good! You also really turned up the heat half way through. It felt as if you learned the matchup a lot better, and got me in some good crossups which led into FADC ultra, so that was nice. You really made me work for that last win bud, I’m sure you’ll continue improving. One thing I want to say though is that Chun is going to be satisfied with you sitting in the corner, even if you have a life lead, because all she’s waiting for is for you to make one wrong move and you eat a combo into ultra. Even if she doesn’t have ultra, AA target combo into stomps does pretty good damage and puts you right back in the corner again. Just walk your way out of it and try to make her guess wrong. Sometimes if you start approaching me, you can fly over me with jump instant heavy hurricane kick, so that’s an option. Remember to abuse safe jumps against Chun’s EX SBK on wake up.
Overall I’d say that I’m happy to see your improvement, so keep it up :). If you ever want a Chun/Akuma to play against just let me know and we can do a FT5. Recorded if desired.
Ryboy vs BEY Base (5-4) Ryboy
Dictator/boxer vs Akuma
ggs dude. Pretty close matches overall. I know we discussed the match in irc, but here are the same comments for the record
Dictator:
More scissors. I watched your match with kyarisan later, and that shit was spot on. s.mk and s.hk and c.lk xx scissors. Like Sabez also said in the chat, just work on your combos and you’d be scary. You hit a lot of the hard links but then don’t cancel the last normal. Against akuma, try not to use the c.hk slide or you’ll get demoned. Actually against most of the cast it’s severely punishable. Use it as a spacing tool to follow teleports, air tatsus and the like. A more clutch akuma would’ve also demoned your devils reverse by karaing from c.mk. I tried a couple of times and ate it 
I also ate tons of scissors coz I was poking with c.mk or c.hk.
Boxer:
Careful with your rush punches and headbutts. You whiffed a few that I should’ve punished, but I couldn’t kara my demon, again :(. Like we talked about, TAP through fireballs is not a good idea against a shoto, coz you’ll eat an srk. It’s even worse against akuma coz you’ll get demoned. It’s only safe if you’re farther away. I think you missed an overhead into c.lk into headbutt, so just work on your BnBs. Boxer has mad normals, so abuse the hell out of c.lp, c.hk and s.hk. It was only one of the matches that you played boxer, so I don’t have much more to say.
I’m sorry the games lagged a little bit here and there. Hopefully next time we play it’ll be better.
Ryboy v. Bey Bass
ggs very solid akuma… you have a very strong fireball game and seemed to use his roundhouse verywell making it hard for me to punsh everytimes like i usually do. I would have to say against Dictator you should hold off on the c.hk… besides that maybe your executions could use some work it seemed like i got some chances to block i shouldnt have.
ggs. im looking forward to the next fight
Ryboy v. Kyarisan
ggs really close games… i cant believe you won the round i blocked your ultra cause i missed mine.grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. yeah i found out though that on block chun li has -5 on her c.hk so that helped in the matchup and you should also watchout about doing any combo that doesnt really link against any Dictator with meter cause they can ex sk right through you sweep… also i think maybe you tried to link to many c.lk into her rapid kick, dont worry about it so much you know you can get the first low hit alot just try to link strait into her rapid kick rather than trying to get a little more damage. you jump ins had excellent timeing cause i was trying to tele out but you were hitting me on wakeup with perfect timing i guess, and could not half the time… you def have very good exection, also no random ultras if i would of done anything but choke that round would of been mine
…
ggs man
I’m in as well.
vs. kyarisan
gg’s last night, you got out to an early lead which ended up being to much. I am glad i put up a bit of a fight to make it interesting though. I really like the way you use your pokes , especially your s.hp, i had a tough time dealing with your footsie game. I noticed that you back dashed out of some FA’s when you could have hit me on my jump-in. i am guessing that was you trying to bait out a j.fp, DP?
Thanks for the tips though an i would definitely like to get more practice against akuma and chun.
