SRK Training Team (XBL)

Tom I’ll be home around 8 P.M. PST.

yeah im down, livermore is about 1.5hrs away from me though. so its something i would have to plan for ahead of time. would it be possible to bring anyone with me as well? i got a few guys that are pretty damn good at sf4 that im sure wouldnt mind going.

Damn, I misread Salinas for Salida which is actually pretty close to Livermore, lol.

Here’s the thread if your are still interested: http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=194612

Any other Bay Area guys want to go? Space is pretty limited but you get some good games there.

Tournamnet 3

MartinRob vs. deteknician

gg’s, most of our games were pretty close , you definitely need to work on teching throws a bit more. Also i noticed you didn’t punish me a whole lot when i was jumping in so work on the AA’s. There were also a few times where we were having a standoff and you would flash kick randomly and i got a free punish. I can’t think of anything else right now. I would like to play you again for sure. I need some more Guile practice.

newbkills vs. MartinRob

gg’s, I didn’t put up much of a fight which was pretty disappointing. i felt like i never really threatened you and it showed in the score.

reelsmartkid vs. MartinRob
you really overwhelmed me in these games, the few that i did win i felt that you got a bit predictable with your jump-ins and that you were playing a bit more passively. when you rushed me down i really didn’t stand much of a chance. gg’s.

thanks to wkwong11 for organizing the tournament. I look forward to the next one.

I’m interested. When are we getting a couple of games in at SVGL?

MartinRob Vs Sho 7 Gu n God:

Those were some good games. The things that I think you need to work on is your execution and your zoning, you let my tatsu go through your fire balls many times. There were also times when you could have done a better job punishing my whiffed shoryuken’s instead of grabbing.

Late Tournament 3 review

Vs. OoKiLLaKeLLyoO

sorry for the late review i just forgot to do one lol. anyways, first off gg’s man and congratulations on the tournament win you deserved to win. when i got home that day i was like dammit they already started and then newb was like you play killakelly, so i was like uhhh ok lol but when the match started i didn’t know what to anticipate. i rarely play against gouken (whether it be in person or online) so i really don’t know the matchup and the only thing that was stuck in my head was “please chance don’t let him throw you” lol but i had that antsy feeling to just keep rushing you into the corner. normally when i do the ex-upper i try to hit confirm but the pattern is stuck in my head so much that i just continue the combo even though you blocked it. definitely a problem that i’m having and on top of that i couldn’t stop rushing, there maybe one match where i took it patiently but as soon as that low life was on you’re bar i just rushed blindly. You’re gouken is awesome, combos came out clean and punished me for every mistake i have. one match you had me in the corner where you did one combo and kept continuing with it. i honestly didnt know you could do that lol. but anyways just keep doing what you’re doing man it definitely works. mixup game is definitely tricky cause i didn’t know whether to jab headbutt or just block it but i got confused and got punished for it for sitting there lol definitely a good sign. but most def we are gonna play soon i gotta get back to lab and work on some things. gg man

vs JuIcY MacKiN
Very consistent combos, you punished my missed moves very effectively. You got me with your ultra on my jump ins, I know better than that. Good use of teleport when needed. I had random HBs all over the screen. Nice st. Rh when I used my ex dash punches. FA got me everytime. I felt pressured when you led with the st. Rh. I missed a crucial combo at the end, which got could of possibly got me the win. If your trying to get away from me, use teleport instead of walking back, my sweep got you. Don’t do desperation ultras when you health is low, I caught you doing that like 3 or 4 times. GGs

vs rm86
Very nice combos, you improved in that section and also the SRK FADC ultra, I kinda look forward to you doing them, once I started to see that you were doing them consistently, I hesitated to jump in sometimes. Watch the random SRKs, I’ve caught you trying to mash them out while I’m doing my block string. Good cross ups. Work on teching throws, I threw you ALOT. I didn’t really do a good job at punishing your whiffed SRKs, sometimes I just threw you =/. GGs

vs Luken

first off i think u need to work on your execution…didnt see any fadc ultra. You also didnt apply any pressure on me…well sometimes you did which were the rounds you won but for the most part u were letting me control the match and you also never did any sweeps under my air fireballs…which could have changed the match dramatically

If you can go this Saturday PM evilbowlofcereal to see if he still has space. It’s not my place so I don’t want to impose if all spots are filled already.

I’m probably gonna goto SVGL on Thurs night. I dont get off until 7 so I’ll be there around 7:30. Hopefully there aren’t too many people so we can play each other a few times. Last time I went I was getting whooped on pretty bad, haha.

I’m not even gonna comment on our online games, I know we were both playing retarded from lag, lol.

vs Chickeny Dinner
GL with your stick. I’m can’t really judge your style too much since your execution isn’t up to par yet. Some random SRK’s but I think those were supposed to be FB’s. Our match was a little laggy too so I wasn’t linking my BnB’s and got reversal SRKed a few times. It seems like you had me read pretty good as far as that goes cause I tried baiting a few times and only got you a few times. The tatsu’s were too definitely excessive. I would use that sparingly as I would watch for it after seeing when you would attempt to use it. Usually following one or two of your FB’s. It made sense since I usually blocked 1 or 2 and started FBing back. However, after I got it, I looked for it and you took damage for it. Be careful since you can get SRK FADC Ultra from under.

vs. khyarisan
sorry couldnt give more of a fight with my hk messed up, but I heard ya with the wake up dp.
it was a bad goto move on my part. Cant really say anything bout our match other then you were consistently nailing basics.

vs. kebbbb
your xup got me good on first cpl fights, and you outplayed my meters .
you ate quite a few cheap’o tatsu’s and hado.
You still ate my shit up…
only thing i could say is slow the roll when opponent has momentum, and work the counter…look for the moves that are couterable

I’m withdrawing from the tournament.

I’ve found I play too much offline to be able to dedicate myself to trying to get this online tournament matches going in a timely manner. MR.SNK, sorry for making you wait so long haha.

Please leave my name on this list however. If people do want to challenge me and my Gen feel free to send an invite or friend request.

Hope we all level up!

Final Goose-18 to 2
gg’s, like playing against rogs. take my advice, throwing out random moves with rog is ok vs alot of people online, but will get you no were against good players. use his godlike normals and footsie, chp any jumpins, and stop using so many turnpunches :P.

Anybody else want to play tonight?, send me a message saying srk training team.

Vs juicy mackin

Sorry for the late feedback.
I don’t have much Akuma experience so all I can really tell you is that you is that you need to be more patient.

Vs. Frylock

Nice Bison you have, one that I have not seen before. Your Chun is also good. All i can say is use your focus attack’s more carefully and a little less jump-ins.

VS RExTRO

Honda - good spacing and butt slam cross ups. Only thing I would say you could add to him would be c.lp xx hands (I think that’s it)

SIM - Not really sure what to say about that character cause I was lost the entire time. But I started figuring out how to get closer.

Ryu - Good block strings and overall footsies. I had trouble DP’ing you how I wanted. . .seemed to come out later than I wanted which resulted in getting hit but meh :slight_smile:
