vs. JuiCY MaCkin
It’s been a while since I posted here since I’ve had college to deal with lately. Anywho, on to business.
You’ve got a good Akuma, you noticed me getting predictable with Fuerte. You also did a nice job of mixing up with Demon Flip and your normals kept me guessing.
After being Shun Goku Satsu’d a few times, I finally realize that I had to fake you out. In the end, our matches were good training for feinting with Fuerte and quite possibly Viper in the future.

I’ve been playing a bunch of people but haven’t been posting much here. Anyway, tonight I played Dannnk’s Ryu (XBL tag waff82)
I think you have a pretty good ryu. but you didn’t try for too many srk FADC ultras even though you had a couple of chances in my block strings. Some people are against srking block strings, but if you have meter I think the risk is worth it. You did try to srk my jab jab strongs a few times and hit. The others I baited it and you didn’t oblige 
When you did however, my punishes were either weak, or too late. I’m blaming that on the 3bar connection we had. You have the c.lk c.lp cfp xx tatsu bnb down pat, it was pretty impressive. Very nice bait to get me to land on that super - I tried to ex tatsu when I saw it, but it didn’t come out in time.
Regarding the matchup, you don’t want to be full screen with Akuma. My fireballs > yours at full screen. You should be moving closer, not trying to psychic/reaction tatsu my fireballs. Ryu is better up close, plus it negates my red fireball. I didn’t see too many c.mk xx hado pokes, so maybe more of that. You can also ultra akuma on wakeup if he tries to meaty shakunetsu you from anywhere up to half screen away (more if it’s hp, but it takes experience to differentiate the startups of all his red fireballs). Also, try not to focus around an akuma with meter, or you’ll eat a demon - I know I missed one off a focused sweep and another off a focused far hk. You did a good job baiting teleports and punishing with tatsu until I caught on. Again random tatsus are no good - I just suck at punishing them.
ggs for sure.
Vs. MartinRob
first off gg man. in the beginning don’t ask why i was picking people other than rog. couple of friends were over and they kept bugging me the whole time to play so hopefully by the time u read this please don’t feedback those characters lol. but anyways you’re execution was perfect. caught me everytime with the fadc ultra. pokes were good keeping me away and putting me in a place where i can’t do my combos. throughout the whole time i was alternating between rushing in and patiently poking. reason for that was to see how you reacted between the two styles (poking i’m still working on). u got me when i tried to rush but poking i managed to keep you in the corner but you did good getting out with the hurricane kick in the air. definitely the fireballs kept me away which is a good thing. you got me with the throws, i’m still having a hard time trying to tech throw so if you saw a couple times rog just reached out lol (i was mashing the crap out of the throw thinking you were going to). other than that gg’s man i’ll be playing you soon and this time i wont have friends over next time. i don’t see how we managed to play 30 some odd games lol gg man hit me up anytime u wanna play.
I’d like to sign up for this online tourney, but I’m attended one in NE already that day.
May I suggest having these tourneys on sundays afternoons? There are still some offline tourneys, but there’s a better chance sundays will be open.
I would really like to participate in these and I can record matches :]

vs Steinmania
well man all i can say really is ggs! Im not very familiar with teh cammy vs Bison matchup, so this was eye opening. You’re really on point with your links, so I was constantly getting rapped by the cannon strikes/cannon spikes, and than with the throw mixups. It’s already a bad matchup for bison cause all of cammy’s moves beat out bisons, or trade clean. So its an uphill battle for me. Guess i shouldve kept the pressure up more, most of the rounds i won I think I was a lot more aggressive. But it was great playing you, and hopefully we can play more so i can learn tha matchup.
vs mr snk
gg’s. best honda ive ever played, and those block strings i didnt know honda had them. Real good Honda keep it up. Your mixup is top notch, and you dont leave yourself open. Excellent pressure on corner, and on people who try to escape. Again i really cant tell you how to get better because i’ve never touched Honda, and dont have much expiirience, but if you could give me some advice that would be appreciated as well. Espcecially on how to pusish Sumo Splash.

Ryu:
Pretty good Ryu but you did miss on some good damage because of certain combos. But those you just learn overtime so keep at it! You rarely jump in which is good but I’m always waiting for one but you have caught me a few times with it. Those persistent cross-ups are annoying. LOL. You might need to learn a bit about spacing because I was able to hit you with j.fierce -> c.rh or the use of fireball in certain situations. I myself need to learn spacing as well. Oh yeah, what are those random whiffing dps man? Anyway, other than all that you are good. Just keep at it!

vs. Mr SNK
My bad for the lag yesterday, it was fun games though. At the beginning, I thought you were gonna choose Honda but when you chose Rog, I was like “awww shit.”
Balrog:
Really good Balrog, I was trying to find out how to get out the pressure game. I’m really bad at Rog mirrors so I had a bit trouble trying to get you. I did get some moments though haha. I missed a lot of those on reaction c.fierce upon your jump ins. Grrrr, that damn fierce button. Anyway, solid Balrog
Ryu:
I can’t really remember what you did with Ryu. Those matches are so foggy! @_@
Sagat:
I don’t have much to say but you definitely play different than the regular Sagats. It was sick when you did c.shortx3 jab version of tiger uppercut? fadc ultra. That was so nuts!
Zangief:
You had me a couple of times but you didn’t link the ex green hand. Not much to say. For this match I just relied mostly on Rog’s normal since I don’t wanna risk any of my health for unnecessary dash punches.
Honda:
An amazing Honda. I do not know how to get out of that c.jab? HHS. I have very little experience against Honda besides playing Mike Ross’s, who is the other Honda I played and that was it. Never played any other Honda. The c.jab HHS I believe, I really like it how you link another c.jab HHS. That was cool. You kind of jump in a bit too much, I tagged you a few times with the AAs. I did miss a lot though because I pressed the wrong buttons but that was stupid on my part anyway.
Overall, great matches Mr SNK. Really looking forward to playing you again. I felt pretty good that I was even able to do that much damage to you. Hope you weren’t sandbagging. >.>
10-7 or 10-9 Mr SNK

Also, Sunday/Monday i’ll be around much more, so i’d like to get some games in with diff people as well, hopefully get some training against classes i rarely get to fight (Honda, Cammy, Gen, Abel…)
vs. Bey Base
Thanks for the advice, man. I don’t have much for you. It seems like you know why you got hit by the stuff you did. I won’t lie, I’m really weak on the srk x fadc, ultra. I hit it in training mode fine, but during matches I always find some way to screw it up. So I just tend to not use it to much. I need to get back to more training mode.
Definitely learn how to punish those tatsus. Don’t get me wrong, I was hoping you’d throw a fireball, but most of the time I was just using it as an easy way to stay near/get close to you as you’re jumping back or teleporting. I probably would have been stuck in the corner if you had punished them better.
