Should totally rename this to something like "Confessions Corner " or something cuz this has turned from a troll thread to an honesty thread lol. But I like it so let’s continue.
Honestly, noticing the differences in frames while in the heat of battle is that hardest thing for me to do at the moment. Like when practicing against my friends Bison yesterday, he showed me like 4 different blockstrings-frame trap setups that all consisted with a combination of low short/jab and the fact that they are SOOO f#cking fast makes it near impossible to tell the difference AND be ready to counter if possible.
Trap 1 - cr.lp cr.lp cr.lk scissor
Trap 2 - cr.lp walk in grab
Trap 3 - cr.lk cr.lk scissors cr.lk scissors (NOW it’s not safe anymore due to distance… -_- lol)
Trap 4- cr.lp cl.hp
(These could be wrong as I don’t remember exactly lol but you get the idea)
These are just a FEW of the many he showed me but still even with just this… how the HELL am I supposed to be able to react to all four possibilities not even including doing nothing thus enabling them to start again or using ex to continue the pressure. Like your eyes have to be on super slow mode - close up mode at ALL times as some of the answers of getting out are specials and techs.
Not saying it’s impossible as I already got accustomed to 2 of these already lol but I’m just sayin…
(a lil exaggerative I know lol)
I jump around a lot against characters/players who I know wont AA me (or those players online who i havent ‘tested’ yet), and when they get a godly AA (cough law can AA crossups/safejumps lolwat cough) this habit starts to hurt quite a bit, and is hard to kill (for me at least :D)
But yes, I jump around a lot… I also go for way too many ABC’s (its just one of those scrub things I couldnt quite kill out of my system yet) even when I could easily get more damage out of another combo, especially considering i have those combos down to the letter (like say, 6/10 times when i land a cross up j.hk with jin I go for ABC launch into akuma’s hk CADC hk xx red fireball combo instead of say j.hk crmp crhp xx median line destruction switch cancelled into j.hk mp hk hp xx shoryuken or something)
100% scrub habits but whatever Im working on it xD
I need to dedicate most of my time just anti-airing, you protect the skies once or twice so you instantly think “yeah, they’re never jumping for a while…time to go in LESS GO!” nope, they jump AGAIN into abc not caring, dat online yo
I swear I mixed up the input of Cross assault and cross art for a second. Kuma with the rape face, me with the sad face and then that slow start up Cross art freaking hits and KO’s. Profound sadness faints
Actually… I accidently activated Pandora against the same guy in an endless lobby lol Also I messed up Raven’s backwards teleport and got a wake up super, which actually hit. That sh*t is super effective, nobody expects you to do something like that.
