I give the stick to Dander
thats a lonely ass pic 
He’s a hermit, gotta live that single life.
I drink a lot of beer.
This is how I’m envious of some of you guys: getting drunk and/or high makes me play ten times worse and I start slipping very hard. I remember I got really drunk at a party that you also attended. It wasn’t until after I sobered up that I finally started winning.
What specifically do you do to get better?
That all depends on how much effort you’re willing to put in and how much bullshit you’re willing to take out
If you plan to play online to get better, do NOT and i really mean do NOT!!! let it get to you if you lose, there are things that happen online that can be adjusted to, most of which are just timing differences that you, yourself commit to in the first place, when people complain you win because of this and that due to online, it’s just a wall…i played online after I spent a year and half just playing the computer on ps2 and practicing in training mode. There should be nothing in the game that should bother you or hinder your performance and focus if you really WANT to get better, this is coming from someone who plays on anything and everything that is 3s…now aside from letting outside things bother you, the inner part of the game is to focus on what you’re looking for in your style, many people will simply say “just ask yourself, what did i do wrong, etc etc” but that just leads you to think “oops i didnt block enough, or i didnt grab enough” but it’s not that simple at all…the little situations such as on your wakeup need to be analyzed to the point where you can recognize the options such as “i couldve parried here because my wake up is this many frames or faster than normal and still remained safe then jumped if i missed the parry or punished if i got the parry”…there’s a big difference in those 2 responses but if you want to get better faster, you have to focus much more than to just ask yourself “what did i do wrong”…it’ll make your analytical skills DURING the match so much more faster and you can see the game in a clear sight just as long as you apply yourself to it
Don’t let people generalize it simply with a “just play or just ask yourself” because you already know what you did wrong, don’t ask yourself questions that make you run in circles, stick to things that you are weak at so you can work on it in the long run
General questions to yourself = short run (not much help)
Specific questions to yourself = long run (much better)
I know this sounds weird, but after watching your videos, whenever I read your posts, they get dubbed w/ your voice (in my head as I read). Same thing w/ Mr. Pherai after listening to the iplaywinner podcast & EMP Renic (after askdrsubzero). I must be going nuts.
Lol, I actually can only do a few drinks before the execution errors start to come out. Luckily, playing Alex means I don’t have to worry about it too much.
And for the rest of you, play EVERYONE that you can. Sometimes, it takes a random hitting buttons at times you’d never expect for you to learn something about your pressure and timing.
You do things like this to get better

Ask questions and don’t be afraid to challenge yourself in the game
My thought process for the set is in the description so feel free to check it out
- Copy stuff
- At one point realize that you don’t want to copy something because you came up with something better
- Profit
One of many things I do is practice vs CPU.
shie kens CPU training notes. it’s very similiar to MOV’s if not the same. most of it is things all/most characters can do to practice.
this sounds really interesting. can you explain?
I edited my post right before you replied to it. There’s the link to it.
Its very similiar to how MOVs practices vs CPU.
Can’t translate it all now but for example.
Vs necro: parry flying viper from a crouch block. wait till he lands and punish with strong fierce TC or close strong x shoryu. (assuming he’s referring to waiting for necro to fully land on the ground from the move).
Reversal: snake fang.
some things I add to practice vs necro is 1 parry/red parry shoryu his drill kicks and red parry hooks.
Vs yang: practice parrying dive kicks and punishing them accordingly. either with low forward fierce shoryu or strong fierce TC.
Reversal: rh ( maybe referring to low rh?)
can add things to this like trying to reversal 2nd hit of slash on block, parrying hopkick from a crouch block, etc etc.
I’ve been training a bit with CPU Chun on the highest level. And aside from the Kikoken spam and lack of kara-throws it’s kinda’ close to how a human being would use her. Pretty decent parry training.
I think setting her to the highest level isn’t making her more difficult rather it’s making her deal more damage and take less damage. Then again that might affect the decisions she makes…then again prolly not.
Nope. She doesn’t do more damage. I have caught the A.I. doing wakeup crouching jab a couple times and doing a few Justin Wong-esque mixups though.
Must be that new fandangled OE code.
It’s MAME though.
Exposed.
Then I dunno what to tell you. And if it’s mame, the health changes are in effect.
I just put my shirt back on.
Hey speaking of which, that means you’re on ggpo. Let’s play a few.
