vs. Eyelovesf4
Balrog:
Your Balrog is really good but just don’t do a lot of those wake up headbutts. I got too nervous to punish them myself. That’s all I can say.
Ryu:
Your Ryu is really good just don’t jump in a lot. You jump in less in the later matches but yeah. Don’t do a lot of that. 
Ryu vs. Ryu is fun man.
I missed a lot of fadc ultra though :[. Hate executing it on the 1p side.
All you have to really do is show up tomorrow. If you haven’t already said you wanted to play, please send me a msg on XBL once you are on so I know who’s in.

vs Pedoviejo
I don’t have much Claw experience but you made good use of his normals that kept me blocking when you were up close. Also, great use of backflips as well. What I didn’t see were cross ups and very few wake up mind games. I’m not sure what’s available to you. But I would be more aggressive after a knockdown.
Your Sagat was bit too defensive. You sat back throwing Tiger Shots. When I get in you seem to have trouble defending and counter attacking. I was trying to bait your TU’s and got a few of them which helped me deal out some decent damage against you.
vs Desi Monk
Work on better combo’s to do after landing a successful cross-up. You got me a few times, but did minimal damage. Your resistance to jumping in is good. Made it slightly harder for me to deal damage since I couldn’t repeatedly AA you. However, the tatsu thing… gotta stop using that tactic so often. If I see you are looking to do it, I stop throwing consecutive FB’s and try to make it as random as possible and I’m constantly waiting for it. If you are going to attempt it randomly. I would do it closer and while the opp is standing. If you force a block you’ll at least get some chip and a coin flip when the tatsu lands.
vs DisBChance
If your execution was more solid, I wouldn’t of had nearly as many chances to make a come back. The cr.lp, cr.lp xx overhead was getting me more times that it should have. A few things that I found predictable. You use meter almost right away. From long range you tend to EX rush in after blocking one FB. If you blocked the first FB I was fairly certain the next would be a EX rush and I came with the EX FB. Headbutts were an excellent tool for you. Although I was also trying to bait it, the recovery made it somewhat hard for me to punish you more. I noticed you jabbed throw all my throw attempts. Watch out for frame traps. I was trying to do it, but only got like one out. Good, close matches. Need to have another rematch soon.
Ryboy v. Kyroc 4 ever
5-2 Ryboy
good ken you could work on your execution a little as can i. um lets see what else hit confirmaton we talked about that a little in chat but before you do any DPs you should always hit confirm with ken and do his fierce DP. you caught me with a few of those heavy combos that really made me go damn i better not do that again
So overall I thnk you need to work on hit confirming and execution form what i could see.
i swear i tried to tech every throw but it just wasnt working so idk on that one
Well Vega has no cross up games, and my wake up game is jump up to wiff a throw, jump over you hoping you leave yourself open, jump back and overhead you, or walk up grab. that’s all i have 
. As for your Ryu you have great fireball spacing, well everything was more than avarage, you had a more than solid understanding of Ryu in fact your probaly the best Ryu ive played dont know if Sabe got better, but your defenitly better than most. Your execution is top notch and should contunie to train. Oh and dont be afraid to try and do f.hp into cr.fpxx insert special there is no better training than training on the job. One more suggestion i dont know if you noticed, but i used FA to punish some pokes, startup on block strings that you thought where safe, or to simply get away safely try to implement that into your game plan. You do lack somethintg i dont know what, but its something Im sure once you find out what it is your game will get so much better.

I don’t know how long you’ve had your fightstick but it seems your taking to it quickly. Though, your not quite up to were you used to be, or I’ve gotten a lot better.
The Good:
[LIST]
[]You beat my footsies everytime with well timed FAs.
[]Most of your jump-ins surprised me
[/LIST]
The Bad:
[LIST]
[]Watch for Overheads. I think all the games I did win were from multiple Overheads.
[]You missed the inputs on a couple of Shoryuken>FADC>Ultras getting double shoryukens instead. Hit the training room and you’ll have that worked out in no time.
[]Too many random Shoryukens, and although I missed my punishes for a lot of them, its still not a good idea.
[]Watch for Overheads.
[]All of my jump-ins could easily be AA’d.
[]What happened to our 4 bar connection!?

You have decent execution and got me with a lot of headbutts to Ultra. However, you had a hard time getting in to get that combo out. I was able to zone you out with my FBs a lot of the time, you would sit back and FA them but then sometimes mess up and eat 20-25% of damage. If that is your plan, I would not absorb so many at once and risk unnecessary damage. Throw more armor breaking specials when the other guy is looking to FA. You didn’t jump in much which was good since it made it hard for me to punish with SRK FADC Ultra.
vs MartinRob (5-0 me)
Good improvements on your game so far. I would try to increase the pressure more as I never really felt you controlling the pace of the game. Keep me guessing by using more ambiguous jump ins after a knockdown, slip in some more tick throws as well. FA and dash in throw FBs to create pressure without jumping. In this range, it’d be dangerous for me to throw another FB as you can get a free jump in. This can stop my barrage of FB’s.
vs Frylock252 (5-4 me)
Great games. They were real close and many rounds went down to the wire. I think more solid AA from you would have easily swung the match in your favor. Try to predict my jump ins and either counter with neutral jump hk or forward jump hp. I wasn’t getting cross up much either after getting knockdown. Overall, I didn’t feel too pressured. I think you missed some Ultra combo’s, but that’s just training room stuff and something we all need work on.
vs ooKillaKellyoo (0-5)/(0-5) Killa
Damn man, I thought I would do at least a little better this time around. Gouken’s FB speed is godly and was real hard for me to keep up forcing me to jump in. I guess I would try to AA those more since there wasn’t much else I could do. I didn’t want to FA dash in since you recoverd so fast. My real damage came from tick throws which I guess you could have tech’ed better.
I didn’t know you had such a strong Abel too. Great Air to Air moves that punished me for neutral and back jumps in to create space. The command throws were well timed created a good mix up as I would try to option select tech/block on wakeup and you grabbed me again. you also grabbed me through my badly timed block strings which was annoying as hell. you missed that one FADC combo quite a bit which gave me some damage there, but still wasn’t enough for me to squeeze some wins out. Good games and congrats.

Really solid boxer. You have your BnBs and into Ultra combos down. My only advice to you would be more pressure. When you had me locked down with block strings and mix-ups you generally got a pretty big lead. I only came back when I found a spot in your pressure game to roll/hb away and collect myself before heading back in.

Fun and close games. If I only teched your throws better I might have won. Similarly to what wkwong11 said, I also felt that when I rushed you or got in a couple of hits I could just keep going. There were moments when you pulled out some really hot combos and I was like “whoaw, I hope he’s not this good and was taking it easy on me before :)” but that happened only a couple of times. It would be nice if you punished like that more often. GG
**
vs Reelsmartkid (5-2 Reelsmartkid)**
Ah, Rufus is my hardest match up. I hope to play you more so I can level up against the fat man. I wasn’t able to beat him so I don’t know what to tell you. I guess your jumps were a bit predictable since I was able to air throw you a bunch of times and you very rarely used cr.fierce which I heard is a very good move… but I guess you didn’t need to. 
I was surprised how good your Guile was, I barely pulled out a win. His cr.roundhouse isn’t very safe and I will punish that. I like that one super combo you did, wasn’t expecting that. But honestly I think Guile needs his EX more than saving up for his super.
Your boxer was ok but not great. You obviously have the jumpin BnB to Ultra but all boxers should. I think if you want to get serious with him you’ll have to find out how to hit with all hits of his Ultra after the headbutt. I would also use his normals a bit more, work on his footsie game and try to stay closer to Guile as from far away I do what I want and you have to get around it. GG and I hope to beat up your Rufus sometime in the future.
Props to wkwong11 for organizing the tournament and this whole training team.

vs Ryboy
really good Bison, to be honest, after seeing how good you play with him, i started to incorporate more of that St. HK and scissor kick pressure…made a WHOLE lot of difference in punishing opponents who didn’t suspect it. Even then, it was really a good lesson to learn.
Only thing I can say is working on tech throws (not sure if lag was issue there), because I was getting those through fairly easily. I would also use heavier combos whenever possible for punishment, but your BnBs did good work on me, so for now it’s not so necessary. Also don’t forget to use st. mk against close attacks as well, and although I like your scissor kick pressure, you can also make use of the devil’s reverse pressure & baits.
Good use of anti-air st HK & when under pressure you did teleports well too.
Good games, i hope to improve by the time we do this again

vs EyeloveSF4
Good Ryu, your stick skills after 2 weeks definitely improved, you’re basically back on track and i’ve noticed a good use of links and good combos. You were getting me with the jump in crossups earlier, and then i started to actually anti-air and win, but i got lazy. I think against another Ryu or Sagat or other matchup, that can become very dangerous as one simple anti-air can link to ultra. Good mix-up game, but sometimes you kept it a bit the same. Felt like some games you def mixed it up and did tick throws, poke, footsies and zoning. Other games you’d be too focused on one particular thing, and if i capitalized on it, it’d make the game way too close.
very clutch, definitely see the stick as an improvement to your game now. I just need to be more clutch and work on my crossups/anti-air consistency and start giving you a real challenge

vs DisBChance 5-3 me
good games dude, my hardest opponent and apparently we were playing for the free spot in the tournament in losers. You had good execution, everytime you got a combo starter you finished it, every headbutt led to ultra, which was also good. However, you were EXTREMELY PREDICTABLE with what you would do if i blocked your c.lps. after the third one it was always overhead rush punch. This never changed through the 8 games we played you did this at least 3-4 times per match. it hit me a lot yes, but it was cause i was trying to either FA, cuase i didnt think you would be that predicable, or cuase i was trying to grab you out if it cuase its an easy way to stop the punch but my grab kept not coming out. When i needed to stop it, like in our last match so i wouldnt die, i jabbed you out of it. With that everytime you did ex upper or normal upper you would do c.lp right after as well. i understand doing it if i get hit by ex upper, cuase you can combo, but when i block it. this wasnt done as much, but i could always count on you to do c.lp everytime. It was my fault for getting hit by it thinking i could jump away, which i know i cant. That was my bad habbit, and i kept telling myself just counter after the move or block, and i did counter once, and you kept doing it anyway. had i not been going on bad habbits or been a character with a better aa you would have been in a world of hurt. Just something to consider when playing people, predictability gets you in some serious jams. other than that ggs, i need more balrog work and i would like to play you again.

vs Juicy Mackin 5-0 me**
i see you like to play the more keep away style of akuma. It works alright, but you would be better off rushing gouken down. i can compete pretty well with your air fireball game and since you took to the air so much i was able to continuously hit you with my fbs. also, when you were doing air fbs to avoid my fbs you got hit a lot, you may want to work on your timing a bit more. Anyway again, i suggest rushing me down or at least being more aggressive to achieve better results becuase playing runaway doesnt seem to work that well in the gouken mathup. From what i have seen the akumas that do the best are the ones that are agressive towards gouken. however, when you did hit me though, you made it hurt which was good, but you just werent able to put me down.
vs Ryboy igi 5-0 me
i was a little worried initially cause bison is a hard matchup for me usually. But it appeared you had little experience against gouken which was a real disadvantage to you. I was able to keep you out of the air pretty well. you were not very aggressive with bison, which i believe led to your downfall, coupled with your predictable standing hk AA. i would be on the ground and you would think i was gonna jump, bam out came hk, right after another one came out, so i would just parry the 2nd one. work on not being predicable like that. you also didnt use lk scissors very m uch, that move is so good against gouken cause he cant really do anything to you after the move. there were times you could have ex scissored through my fbs and you didnt, ever. I was able to keep you out more because you were not doing that move, if you had done it a least a little bit, i would have had to respect that move and laid off a little with the fbs cuase ex scissor goes through them. I when you landed hits i didnt really see you make anything of them, there were one or two times that you did, but over all, i think you should be working your combos in more. maybe you do though and just against me you didnt cause you didnt get too many opportunities.
vs reelsmartkid 5-1 me
your rufus was pretty good. you got me with some stuff, but i was able to keep you out pretty good. when you got i didnt feel enough pressure and you were VERY predictable with your ex messiahs and becaase of that i was able to avoid almost all of them. you did good to make me pay for trying to take the fight to the air, but that worked on time and one time only. after that it looked like you were predicting my jumps and i was able to punish you accordingly. another thing was that you did not utilize rufus’ c.fp very much. you tried it a couple times and either got hit or were out of range, most of the time you were out of range. learn the range of that move more and i think you will be more effective at stuffing fbs with it.
against your boxer we had some good matches, i didnt get comboed into ultra too much but i also didnt give you much of an opportunity. i wasnt pressured that much though, and maybe thats why. i dont know what else to say, i cant really remember matches that well since i played a boxer before yours and i am only remembering his.

vs frylock252 5-0 me**
ggs frylock, i had been wanting to play you for a while, but we were never on at the same time. You have a nice chun and it looked like you had some experience against gouken. you didnt fall for a single one of my mixups and you blocking was damn good, which made everything harder. you had good poking game and were very patient, you were able to bait some of my FAs and parrys, and i did feel pressured by you enough, which was also good. some things though, with the pressure i didnt get comboed that often or crossed up much. you caught me with the ex legs into ultra combo but it didnt fully connect, but i think thats just an execution thing. a lot of people do that combo, but i have only seen a small amount hit it completely, so i suggest working the kinks out on that. other than that i cant think of much else to work on. i dont know chun that well, but it looks like you played it more or less right, you were even snuffing out my demon flips here and there. gs i look forward to playing you again.
vs newskills 5-0 me/ 5-0 me
nice work newbskills, you really too all of what i had told you the last time and put it into your game. things were definitely harder for me. the times you got in on me you made the most of it, except a couple times when you missed your combos. but overall you were just unable to stay close to me. i was having a hard time teching your throws for some reason, idk why, but good shit for getting me with so many throws. you did good with that.
yeah against abel, i was able to get the ex tt on you quite a bit after your jumpins, but it was cause i was sure you were going to attack me. just as you were predictable with that, so was i. Had you caught on you could have jumped or did srk, something to punish that ex tt and i would have slowed down on using it. something to consider for the next time. you made sure not to fb when i had ultra which was good. Idk why i missed that damn fadc combo so much, i think i hit you that one time which lead to ultra and i missed every other attempt thereafter. i am usually pretty good about hitting that combo, maybe i was just off yesterday or something. another thing, if i have ex meter i would suggest not trying to catch me with c.mk as i am waking up, you are just asking to get ex TT, a better idea would be to bait my ex TT or standing just outside of its range perhaps. i caught you with that quite a bit as well. i cant think of anything else ggs though.
special thanks to kyroc, if it wasnt for you having to leave early i would not have been able to play and take your spot. i was really looking forward to joining the tourney but had to show up late, so i was somewhat happy to hear i could join, even though it was in the losers bracket.

gg’s man i seen u knew ur bnb’s and u had somewhat of a idea on how to fight chun so i started pulling some shenanigans and they paid off u had solid sk pressure headstomp was killing it just seemed like chun overwhelmed u and u got frustrated at times random ultra’s etc u wanna try to keep chun on the ground i know it’s easier said then done but that’s how that match up goes u can’t beat her in the air u can’t really get in a footsie game with her it’s a really hard matchup but other then that ur bison was solid u should play tyrone kupples or even ask him for some tips or advice on certain match up’s or combo’s he is prolly the best bison i have played. but ur rog on the other hand was tough that is a match up i am really working on and it was giving me alot of trouble u knew the bnb’s u rush me down put the pressure on it was tough but fun and i learned a little bit from it i need to fight him again other then that gg’s hope to play you again.

gg’s man very nice gouken i literally have not seen that blockstring you did with the 2 cr. lp into the 2 standing lk’s that was throwing me off a bit and i was trying to bait out some of those parry attacks more so those then ur FA and for the life of me i couldn’t figure out why i was getting beat in the air by gouken and that’s post to be where chun is good at but i ended up figuring it out as the night after we got done playing other then that had solid fireball pressure nice footsies i do have some gouken experience and i know what to watch for so i know most of the mix up’s only thing i seen u mess up was ur ex palm>fierce palm seemed u missed ur timing on that but gg’s i’ll be better next time.

umm you havent seemed to change your game much except for the focus attacks. I didn’t see you do it a forth of the time as much as you use to…im not sure why?..other then that you pretty much play exactly the same. 1 problem that i notice is your full screen tatsu’s which never worked when we played…you should try not to do it so much
vs juicymackin
first off you’re combos are more solid then ever. mixup game is greatly improving and you’re utilizing the fireball more (which u used to not throw alot when you play me). pretty much just keep doin what you’re doin. definitely keep using those pokes those always hurt. but yeah those 5 games were definitely not easy i had a hard time keeping up in each of those games. and you reacted quickly and kept me out with pokes and fireballs and rushing in when you need to. when i tried to get close i got punished which won you those 6 games straight definitely a plus when you play against rog. crossups were perfect and playing up close mixup had me confused i didnt know what to do lol gg
VS Frylock252
good games. i really couldnt touch the mains lol you really got me confused at the end against the chun li but it came pretty close with bison. thanks for the good advice so far. i think maybe the only thing i could suggest is maybe watch the not needed FA cancels? idk man you’re better than me lol

10-11 dude lol ggs for sure. i def need to work up on the fadc-> ultras but yeah only peice of advice i could give to you is watch the jump ins and then after you hit me with a FA hit me with something a little stronger. you missed a couple of oppurtunities when you hit me with them. gg again

good guy for sure helping me out with some things like hit confirmation and other things. really gave me a run for my money whooping me in the beginning and to the end it got a lot closer. i cant really say much but watch some of the jump ins
