Alright! Here are all my SCR vids in order. Check em out.

This was my first match against a cody. Was still warming up and I missed a ton of reversals. Didn’t matter too much in the end.

Jayce beat me pretty hard, but I think I could have taken him if I was a bit more studied on the matchup. It’s a much better MU for Vega, so I gave that a go, but I was just too unfamiliar with the matchup. I might have done better sticking with Guile, but I’ve been working Vega into my game pretty hard lately, so I felt like I needed to give him a try, for better or for worse.

Nice guy. He didn’t know the matchup too well, but Makoto / Guile isn’t very good for Makoto even if you DO know the matchup.

This was the scariest match that I actually won. The Guy matchup feels really… weird. I forgot a lot of stuff too. AAing him is difficult, but there were times where I just didn’t try and should have. It also took me too long to start focussing his slides, but that may have been a blessing in disguise.
I trained hard leading up to SCR, and one of the things I found about myself was that my in-game anger would get in the way of my gameplay. 2 months ago, if I got hit with an ultra like he did to my s.hk here, I would have lost right then and there. I was able to keep a clear head and play smart though for the rest of the match.
Crispy.

Dat upside down kick. It makes this match seriously lopsided. When he switched to U2 I knew he was done.

I was already feeling crisp on the chun matchup from the last guy, so I was super on point here. Plus there was groovy music playing. Seriously, that UDK… He was having stick problems that day, so he had some execution errors with his ibuki. I was worried about going up against any Ibuki, and I feel I got lucky here.

Last match to get out of pools. This guy knocked Kineda into losers too. Either way, I was not on my bison game the first match. I let him get away with a lot of dashes and unsafe stomps. I wasn’t about to drive 11 hours to lose to a bison though. The matchup really is THAT BAD. Xonic boom > fierce. Don’t even bother with backfist.

Finally, Gamerbee is quickly becoming my tournament demon. I did a lot better against him than I did at Evo, a feeling that I can attribute largely to my footsies. But Gamerbee… his footsies are just too GOOD! I know where I need to improve though. SO back to the grindstone.
