daigo you need to work on reaction, i baited you easy lawls hahahah
hey gedn, you can edit your posts so all of your comments can fit into 1 post.
Glad to see you’re giving input though
anybody who uses vega, blanka, or sagat, please add me.
Vs. newbkills:
hey man great matches! Suggestions… hmmmm… from what i remember, your punishment from my mistakes didn’t cost me so much. Towards the end of our session then you started doing HP>DP. which was good! BnB’s could use some work, or maybe you have them down, but won’t bring it out during play. Until next time.
To shin kimosabi:
if u wouldn’t mind playing some matches with me(I main Ryu), please add me!
I need to face some ppl, picked up balrog, need critisism. Thanks to everyone so far.
Add me, next time you see me on we’ll play some games. I’ve been playing Rog for some time now and while I’m no pro I do Know enough to give some good criticism. So hit me up.
Edit: also the mirror match is one of my worst so it will be great practice
Not good enough to give critique, yet, so I won’t. However…first, thx to DaMoney21 for playing with me often, more importantly, pointing me in the direction of people who know what they are doing and talking about.
Also, Shinrase Akira and Shin Kimosabi for the advice. After your (Shin Kimosabi) suggestion to be more aggressive, looked up some videos of John Choi and Daigo, yeah, they throw the hell out of the hado, so I’ll use it more. Footsies were another mystery to me, but now I get what I have to do, so I’ll be in the lab coming up with some kind of concoction to fix my game… results after the break…
ok will do. Im telling you right now though. my rog is horrible.
^good stuff uchiha, nice sparing with you. And you are really getting better

EyeloveSF4, Ryu:
Good games man. I felt that you have pretty good combos and basics, but you need to work on your defense. I was getting in at will pretty much. Remember that Ryu has normals as well as srks to counter air attacks
When you actually kept me in front of you, you combo execution was pretty spot on, props on that front. You just gotta get the basic zoning and defense up to par.
