My EVO 2k10 wish: Tatsu makes Top 8.
I think he could do it!
Ok, thanks.
i dont think tony is going to do that. sure he’ll play the poking game here and there. but he is going to get in, and once Seth is in, its Sakarua x1000. SPD strings, resets and what not. Seth is free to waste that meter on Vega for style points and stun points. And seeing as to how tony plays. he is going to stop is combo short of stun to maximize stun oppurtounities. but if tony decides to zone Vega, Vega goes on the offensive right into Seth’s happy arms making it easier to start his offense. tough match up at least for me. at this point its my toughest match up. but lets see if tatsu can pull it off.
Really? I’d say one of my toughest match-ups is Sakura or Ryu/Ken. I think Tatsu can pull it off though.
Very true Jr. Hope Vega’s poor stun doesn’t get exploited too much in this one. When do the semis start?
EDIT: Seth’s a bitch.
50 mins according to the stream schedule.
Dude i chopped the jesus lettuce today. Kinda worried i built some bad karma for Tatsu. X.x aaaaack
what gets exploited more is the lack of FADC ST. having a fast start up reversal that beats techs, and cr.lk, is more dangerous than invul frames. to me at this point in my journey as a player, that is a much more viable and scary thing than invul frames.
Sakura is scary. She seems and feels like one of Vegas hardest matches because of her ambiguiosity, and great pokes. but its easy to get in on her because cr.hp is owned by an early jf.hk. Ken and Ryu, idk. i still have to find a Ryu player that has pushed my limits to the breaking point. I can safely talk about these characters
Akuma
Cammy
Chun
Bison
Makoto
maybe Sagat, Seth
Zangief
anywho wee need to talk about Seth. Motherfucker is ridicoulus good at abusing the fact that you dont have FADC canel reversal. you cant crouch tech that kid neiter. especially since he has SPD, insta overhead, DP.
Yes. Gief is pretty tough. ST HK works well vs him, it helps keep him out. Makoto is really tough as well. I beat a very good Makoto player by the name of “MakotoMuffins” barely. When I rewatched the match, that overhead chop got me everytime. Nothing needs to be said about Chun or Cammy :(. Rushdowns are too good man 
Sagat’s are scary for the most part, and Seth’s can be as well. Akuma’s air fireballs can be bitches, and Bison is tough as well; he has good pokes too.
So what kind of approach should Tatsu take into this match old fart? X)
Lol!
IMO, I think he should do a mix-up of aggressiveness and zoning based on reads. He can’t stay in Seth’s face forever since he’s you know…Seth. So he should probably just zone, and use Seth’s aggressiveness against him.
very calculated approach. Although Seth has strechy arms and a fireball, Vega imo can do much more in this distance against seth, than up close. Just because its safer. he can react to any wall jump and beat it cleanly with nj.mp, jf.lk, or a well timed air grab. there is also a distance where Vega can jump in and punish shit hard that no one else can becasue of his reach. Also the key to victory is cornering seth. if you do can do that you can force something out of him. you force him to attack, or force him to play a poking game he cant afford to play. but this is all kid talk here though.
I hope he’s not too aggressive. I really think with a few mindgames, baiting and adequate zoning he’ll force some mistakes which’ll be bad for Tony since Vega can deal some damage quickly.
Btw, pedoviejo is spanish for old fart. X.x
I agree with pedo except for sagat, his damage is scary, but his speed and hit box aren’t and work greatly to vegas advantage
Id also add 'rog to that list, his c.LP keeps vega on lock and can make things annoying. I also have trouble with abel, but I assume that’s due to inexperience with a good one.
I hope tatsu has a good idea on how to escape pressure… if he’s reading this, last night tony got whooped by a fuerte using smart air throws. I’m sure well all learn a lot watching this regardless
Theory fighter ftw.
Hopefully, but remember once seth tags you he pushes you to the corner fast. and once he tags you and has meter, he can push you from midscreen, all the way to the corner, where he can start insta air/spd/dp/jump kick cross up mix ups for no meter. and with one tag of a punch he can start a mix up anywhere on screen if he has meter. something seth is good at building. This match up is really hard in my opinion especially if he knows how to stun count. more kid talk
any way since i spend all my time on thinking how Vega’s moves interact with him as a whole, how they work, and how they interact with others, its apperant that, all of it is supposed to encourage the opponent to push a button at the wrong time and Vega can capitilize on things like that. his zoning isnt real zoning in my opinion. no fireball x_x . his pressure is good outside of the corner (its a footsie game), and once a opponent is cornerd (you can pressure so well in corner), that is where you can capitilize on punishing moves that others cant. He has great moves that punish crouch tech, close st.hp which eats backdash and moves with lots of invul frames and start up. can punish jump out attempts so bad with cr.hp, st.hk, premptive jump, and ST which starts a mind game of its own. and with st.lk, st.rh, cr.hp, ST dive kicks pressure. Plus CH os grab followed up by a lk.ST is great at punishing people who grab a few frames after CH because of its 7 frame start up. And now, a strong reliable wake up mix up game after EX FBA. His corner game is just that much better. but this all just kid talk again
tis why i think cornering Seth is key to victory.
Someone call Tatsu and read viejo’s posts to him x)
im pretty sure he knows all of this, plus more. hahaha.
funny my name though, so much irony. probably one of the younger kid in here.
also Makoto, is amazing, he uses moves like no one else. if he made it to EVO, it would have been some epic shit.
edit:
Joz!!!
who beat you?
pedojoven?
GOOOO Tatsu!!
HE DID IT!
