SRK Training Team (XBL)

vs UCHIHA MADARA

your ryu, farely decent but you have a lot of bad habbits. For starters, WAY TOO MANY wake up Dps and just in general too many. I couldnt even figure out why you were doing that many. but it really put you in bad spots and cost you a ton of life. Here and there wake up dp is fine, but you did it so much, i just sat and waited for it most of the time. With that, you werent even fadcing out of them, you were just letting them fly. The only times u did FADC out of the dp was if you had ultra, and that was if i blocked it or not. So to me, that says its its just learned behavior on why u were FADCing out at those times. so, i suggest you lay off the dps, you have other options besides that, block, dash back, etc.

Another thing, you MASH LP WAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much. That’s something i see the scrub ryus do, not people that know how to play this game. it went like this, i jump over your head, you mash jab, i come close to you, you mash jab, when you weren’t doing wake up dp, it was mash jab and when we collided in the air and we air reset you mashed the hell out of jab and i wasn’t even close to you. . i understand it can get you out of some situations and works fairly well against abel. Once i knew that’s what u were all about, i punished the hell out of you with ex TT. I know i took you out of a ton of those mash jabs cause i could hear the first one come out right before the ex TT grabbed you. You should probably tone that down, your better than that and it caused you nothing but trouble.

When i have ultra, DO NOT THROW A FB. ever, just take that out of your arsenal unless its off a c.mk at the right distance. i think i got you 3 or 4 times cause you threw fbs when i had ultra. On my wake-up, from a distance, it may look safe to do it, but its not. I believe 2 of those times i got you were on my wake-up, maybe the first time you thought it was luck? idk. just remember that even from FS away i can ultra through your FB on reaction.

the good things. you were VERY good at punishing my bad habbit of canceling into COD off of a blocked c.mp. you were also punishing me for missing my combo, cod, fadc, c.hp, but i think u were just mashing as i was comboing. Cause you punished me each time i did it and i didnt miss it very often. To test this i intentionally dashed back from the fadc and sure enough you did a dp and i punished. However, it was after that that i think you stopped mashing that cuase i tried to bait you again and u didnt bite, i guess you learned not to mash that one. Good stuff. As our games progressed you made attempts to keep me out more, which was good, and started to grab me out of my rolls, VERY good.

Now, here are some things you should be doing. Keep me out with c.mk. works wonders vs abel. When im coming out of my roll a c.mkxxfb will usually hit me, at worst ill block and im pushed away from u and take a little block damage. just learn the proper time to do it cause if you miss mess up its gonna hurt. S.hk works pretty good too when im a bit further out. DP me when i jump at you. I took to the air WAY more than i should have, the reason was cause you didnt give me any reason not to. we would be a couple character lengths apart and i would take a jump at you and lead with mk, you did nothing to stop me in the air. Hell, you could have even hit me with s.hk, but instead you let me jump on you which led to TT, grab, or some other move to further my pressure.

overall, i think if you just get over these bad habbits and apply some of the suggestions i mentioned here, you will do better as a whole, not just my abel. ggs dude

EDIT: your calling my Abel ignorant?!?!?

Yeah, it was a compliment, but after that breakdown you just gave me, I’ll be sure to leave praise like that out until I know what I’m talking about, LOL!

I appreciate the feedback, guy, so I’ll adjust accordingly. I keep forgetting I have a camera, I could have recorded some matches, probably would help a bunch as well…

Alright so Darth how is this working?

So the Tournament is set for September 22 but the Start date of the tournament will be on Sunday September 15?

Are you implying to the start date for registering or did you just mix up the dates? Just wondering.

mixed-up the date after deciding to change it. Thanks for the heads-up. Edited.

GG’s, and visa versa, if I’m ever on, feel free to send me an invite.

I’m not an expert Ryu player, so take my advice/feedback with a grain of salt. You need to work on your defense a little bit, from what I recall, I was able to cross you up several times which lead to BNB’s. Your spacing should improve there b/c I would cross you up even if you were just standing.

We only had a short session b/c I had to leave, but that was the thing that stood out the most for me. I become a completely different player if people force me to become patient, and rely on footsies, etc. but you never really punished my jump-ins much.

Other than that, keep practicing, and you’ll be rock solid in no time.

Hey Nemesys put me down!

I’ll be online evenings after 5 or 6pm Eastern today through Wednesday, and probably all day Thursday/Friday. I need to work practice some matchups: Abel, Gouken, Sim, Rufus, Gen, Blanka and maybe Dic or Guile. I know the Chun matchup pretty well, but I could always use more playtime against a solid Chun. I main Rose. I’m in Upstate NY, and my XBL gamertag is GammaCharge1977. Add me, or send an invite.

What about Honda?

A rose player… on XBL this time? Holy shit, lol.

Get on IRC, we should play sometime. I use Akuma, but before I used Akuma I was a Chun player, and I can use others, depending on your skill level.

Excuse me, don’t mean to be a “noob” … but what’s “IRC” ???

I won’t call you a noob, but I will chastise you for not reading the original post of the thread…

I can give you the Guila match-up if you want. I’m also working on Cammy, and I could use some matches against Rose to get that match-up down myself(got stomped in G1 final by a Rose…argh)

I’m in Watertown, so our connection should be relatively lag-free. I’ll send a friend request.

GG’s man, very solid Ryu. First, the only negative, you jumped a lot (expecting me to throw a fireball) which I was able to punish a few times … I assume that you jumped in a lot due to the fact the punishment I delivered was inconsistent at best. So this may only be a negative b/c you faced me. If that was the case, ignore this.

Now, to the positives. Very good spacing. Pretty damn good. You had me locked up and confused for 80% of the match. I was never in a comfortable position. You knew what BNB’s, what pokes to use … when to jump in, and for the most part, you were right on top of me, and I didn’t know which way to block. I learned a lot from you just now.

This was the only time I ever faced a Ryu who was able to win without any DP > FADC > ULTRA’s. It was quite impressive b/c you exposed a light on how I should be playing Ryu. I’m sure you noticed, I have little patience, and would jump in blindly, hoping to land a combo. You never gave me an opening. Great defense. I will take a mental note on the matches we had, and practice on my spacing/zoning/footsies.

Thanks for a good session, I will challenge you in a little while if you don’t mind. I want to be a little more prepared for the next time.

GG’s to you as well.

First thing I wanna say is that I’m sorry for some of the shit that I did in those games, like tatsu out of nowhere, or SRK from across the screen, I feel it was the 3 bar connection though that caused some of my inputs to be read badly. After all, I am an Akuma player, but I have a policy of using Ryu in 3 bars and not Akuma… especially against other people here, because I am just testing their abilities anyway.

The primary thing you should take out of your game were the occasional psychic tatsus, in general they only got you damaged and knocked down, which allowed me to continue my pressure and mix you up further. And after I see it, I’m going to bait it all day. Plus using psychic tatsu as a tactic is going to prevent you from mastering the spacing and footsies that you currently lack. Other than that, I have to admit the reason I didn’t DP FADC ultra you is because I am poor at it; I use a pad, and because I’m primarily Akuma I haven’t grinded the DP FADC ultra out to the point where I can do it no problem, but I’ll be working on that as I continue to choose Ryu in my online matches.

You can challenge me whenever you like. I’m working on getting some videos uploaded right now and I’ll be going to sleep soon after that, but I’m usually available on weekends; or if you get lucky you can catch me during the middle of the night.

EDIT: Weekends being Thurs, Fri, Sat, and Sun. Thursday or Sunday might be going away from me though if my employer decides to make me work more days D:

Sure. Since you’re down in Peru we’d need to play a test match to see if we get a good connection. If so, I’m up for it.

I could play against Akuma too. Tourney coming up Saturday, and when I played a someone on XBL going to it I went 14-13 against him. Never had so many Raging Demons landed on me. Ever. I feel comfortable with the matchup, but it’s one I should make sure I have down pat.

Sure. I’ll look for it when I get back from work.

I main and like to think I play a pretty decent Gen. Add Sgt Bowser on xbl for some matches sometime!

It’s a chat application that’s been around for years.

kyarisan: Heh. Gamma has been around for MONTHS man. TVN is also another very solid player who uses Rose and is highly respected amongst the West Coast players.

Sounds great! I mostly have 2 bar connections, but most people tell me that even tho there’s some lag, it’s not that bad and that it seems like a 3 bar connection. Looking forward to have some games with you!

I keep meaning to send you an invite for some matches. I’ve been wanting to play your Chun some more. For the past few weeks I’ve pretty much only been in player matches.

I’d like to play against you Gamma cause I don’t get to fight Rose very often. I use Viper, Abel, and Ryu
