Dedication: Looking to become a tournament regular
Characters: Boxer, Abel
Strengths: Corner Trap
Weakness: Crossup Block Strings, Predictable Headbutts, Missing B&B’s
Character Bad VS: Zangief, Akuma, Bison
What I need to practice: Stop relying on Dash Punches & Headbutts. Teching Throws. Rushing in against turtles. B&B’s

Always down for a challenge. I’m pretty good at taking critisism so don’t be afraid to tell me what I’m doing wrong.

Hey wkwong, just finished our tourney match with imtomdotcom.
He pretty much raped me from left to right.
I already said it, Gen is my nightmare. Even more when the opponent happens to be one of the best Gen i’ve fought yet.
I was just shut down :s holy shit…

I have no cons for you. Well except maybe the focus attacks in close range. I got you with the f.fp several times.
Can’t wait to fight you again.

We were talking about our tourney match. PHATAL won it 5-4.

Thanks :sweat:

My friends do make fun of me for doing too many random/unsafe FAs and I did feel silly getting hit by so many f.fps!

One major thing I think you’d need to work on is your anti-air. Mainly when I fight Ryu’s they just anti-air me and fireball me. Its really annoying but it works to beat me :. Just try to bait my jumps and punish them appropriately, I know Gen has a weird arc to his jump, but I get fierce DP’s ALL the time.

Btw, I have videos of our match. Should I upload them?

Shall we?

Yeah man, show the world how much i suck lol.

But seriously, yeah do it. :rofl: :slight_smile:

I’m not ready for a tourney, but, if anyone wants some practice warmup matches and give me feedback I’d appreciate it. Zippo Master has already played some quality matches with me.

I am really into this idea! With a lack of tournaments/players in general. Only know of one other player who plays Street Fighter in my area an he is old school and won’t buy SFIV. I think this will be great for me.

Thanks DarthPaul and wkwong for getting this going!

Sabez30 vs newbkills Feedback
Nothing really for me to comment on. You dominated most of the matches. I snuck a few rounds in here and there, but it was usually off some input mistakes on your part.

Very solid player all around. You are very careful with your fireball spacing to keep yourself safe.

I guess you could probably go for bigger link combos since you seem to have the easier ones down.

I just wished we could have a good connection, but the physical distance just adds a bit too much lag for me.

ClydeByrd vs newbkills Feedback
Good matches. I’d say it was pretty even for us. I was able to keep you out with my fireballs, once you get in, you usually do some good damage (as with all giefs). However, a knockdown combo has got to be in your arsenal. You would have been able to pressure me so much more. Also, I felt a lot safer during your block string than the usual Gief. I would through in some more command throw mixups and perhaps some empty jumps > SPD.

Even with the knockdown ability, you had great footsies that dealt a lot of damage. I was most impressed with that part of your game.

EyeLoveSF4 vs newbkills Feedback
We had a pretty laggy connection, I apologize for that. But we still had some fun times. You have a very aggressive Ryu and great cr.mk pokes. You were also pulling off some pretty big combos. I was very impressed by the execution. I also like the Ultra/Super counters for FB wars.

At times, you got a little overly aggressive which gave me opportunities to punish you. With such a solid footsie game with your cr.mk, I would stick with that for pressure rather than jumping in. Plus, once you get into that range, your jump in becomes much more ambiguous which can snag you some chances for big combos. Work on the AA’s, if you can’t SRK on reaction, try cr.HP or s.HK for now. The FA worked on me, but I think most of players would be able to counter that with empty jump throws. Oh, I actually realized I subconsciously buffer in my SRk motion whenever I believe there could be a possible jump in when my SRK timing would be pretty tight.

JuIcY MaCkIn vs newbkills Feedback
Another match that was plagued with lag. I’m sorry about that as well. When it wasn’t lagging the games were fun. Your demon flip mix ups were taking me for a ride. However, excessive use of it allowed me to hit you out of it in the air. I’m not sure if it were input mistakes, but you ate a lot of FB’s at the range right outside of footsies. Seemed you were trying to s.HK or dash in.

Look forward to more feedback from all of you on how I can improve.

What I Need to Practice: Execution and teching

I know this should be on the combo threads for characters but i feel the need to post it one more time for everyone in here that might not know… there are easy inputs for the game… like SRK can be done by pressing FDx2 same with every charcters F D F specials, also for sim his yoga fire cane be done by pressing FD then strait back punch rather than the FCB which makes it easier to combo…this is also usfull for people having trouble doing moves on reaction rather than trying to guesss what your opponet is going to do all the time

Phatal Phd vs Smirkis
practice session (i guess, he had no mic)

Pros: very patient, and seemed to know how to punish bison. Good timing on your ultras, I could never seem to avoid them. Very demoralizing, lol. Good combos at times with the electricity.

Cons: Predictable patterns, even though I couldnt counter them most times. Not much variety on your move set, which leads to being predictable. I’ve played other blankas that do a better job of using all of his moves, and that just makes the mind games even worse. Like you didnt do one crossup ball, even though there were oppurtunities. Try not to rely on sweep so much. Any good player with adapt to that and punish you hard (which i realized i shouldve done too late), especially when its obvious when you’re going to do it (after every lp roll in your case).

But overall it was good matches, and you remind me why blanka is my worst matchup. I just have a huge hatred for Blanka right now, lol, but that’s a story for another thread. You’re a solid player, whose definitely ahead of the game, and better than most of the blankas I run into. I’d say for 90% of our matches you played a turtle style, so id work on switching it up from time to time, cuase that wont always work against every character and against top level play

ClydeByrd vs newbkills Feedback

Great games, I agree. We were pretty even durring our match. You’re fireball zoning is above par. I know were on top of your game at SRKing me on the jump in so I was trying to not have SRK -> ultra / EX punishment. I also know you are better at it than you were saying you were. Thats why i was sort of avoiding the empty jumpins so Im not left there in your face grabbing air. With Gief it is easy to get grab happy and end up missing SPD attempts, which is something I try to minimalize VS ryu. You never let me jump in deep. You forced me to go j.HP. I also agree with you in that I should propably learn a little bit more Gief combos. Im only using his short ones right now and relying on footsies.

I think what could be touched up on your ryu is also doing short combos, footsies / use of normals. At the times when you went to using cr.Mk as your defense I felt very safe to advance because sometimes youd throw that fireball out after on instinct without hit confirming and it would allow me to jump in. Switching between shooting fireballs and doing your standing AAs would be very usefull, st.HK. You could use neutral jump attacks a smiggin more as well. Not much more though, I am usually waiting for neutral jumps but you did them a good ammount to where I wasn’t ready to punish it and u did damage to me / kept me out.

All in all, we both were at about the same level with our respective characters, of course more training is needed. GGs.

Edit: Oh ya, i’d be interested in seeing the replay on those if possible. I can start recording some peoples matches from my side as well.

MartinRob vs. Dannkk Feedback

Good games, we played a long set with some very close games. even though you won pretty much all of them i felt they were closer than the end result. I think that you need to work on your AA’s more. You let me jump in for free a lot of the time. I really liked your wake up game , it had me guessing a lot. Also your BnB combos were executed really well for the most part, you only dropped them a few times. That was definitely some of the most fun i have had playing this game in a long time. thanks for the games. I will post the videos of the first 10 games or so in a bit.

MartinRob vs. EyeLovesf4

Also very fun games, i was impressed with your execution and your combos. You used your focus attacks very well. I really need to train myself to empty jump when i see you starting the focus attack. In my games against Dannkk he also hit me with focus attacks alot. One thing i noticed is you like to throw out an anti-air ultra. i was wondering why not lp.srk ultra instead? Sometimes it felt like you were a little over aggressive and that gave me some free damage. ggs.

MartinRob vs. Ryboy iGi

I really have no knowledge of the dictator matchup, or how to play the character. So i don’t know what type of critique I can make. I can say what gave me problems and that was when you pressured me in the corner. Other than that i don’t really have much to say , i am looking forward to playing you again and getting more knowledge about that matchup. gg’s
