OK: I’ll do the honor of starting off the critique! Here goes SOMEthing, I hope O_O I’m also obviously trying to decide whether to talk to the player as though we’re having a live discussion (present tense) or if I should just do that if they’re online as I’m typing this 
or just to use past tense, etc., so how about a combo of those?
I ALSO take it it’s helpful to critique matches that we won, as well, so we could SLAUGHTER them next time?
'Oh GAWD…that was a close match lol…pretty entertaining too, but eNOUGH of the flattery toward both parties.
Round 1: Pedram, you played kinda like me (even picked my main super): not only did you fight Oro in a similar way (relying on distance to fight before he had meter), but you even used the same pokes at the same time, roughly. I also LOVE using wp Tornado Hook as anti-air, cos it seems pretty safe if they air-parry both hits if they come into contact with both hits, and I would just leg-grab them behind me once they land (I don’t remember if I EVER got punished for trying that), but maybe that wasn’t part of your back-up plan in this case. You tried to keep him on 1 side and push him into the corner, which was good. You took a chance w/ cr.wk x Hook, since he had meter for an EX uppercut reversal at that point, which I woulda tried, too (I’d say 50/50 I woulda tried this). You tried to follow up w/ b+mp as the free corner hit after the Hook knockdown. I admit I usually go for wp Denpa or another wp Hook, which NO ONE really does, but it’s easiest to connect for meter and a little damage. You delayed the corner grab, which I thought was good, and you stuck w/ reliable st.mp off of it (I’m not sure if you can do db+hp on Oro, here). You then followed up w/ EX Flying Viper, which I hardly use, but that was a good distance for it. You did some drill kick pressure, which I DO often use to try to keep them cornered. He got out of the corner and you used the leg grab, but was it to keep him on that side, for the stun, etc.? THIS is 1 of those times when I’m not sure what the player’s doing, but maybe it’s because a back throw often seems harder to anticipate then a neutral/forward throw cos you’re moving away from the “foe”, instead of toward said opponent. You got stuffed by some of Oro’s pokes such as st.hk but you had a huge HP lead thus far, so it didn’t matter lol. You tried to chip him to death and eventually he was forced (no pushback: YIIIIIIGH!) to DIE, ERRRR…go to sleep for now.
Round 2: DAYYYYYYYUMMMMM. I can’t think of much advice here. Ok, so st.hk CLEARLY, CLEANly beat your st.mp, which is useful to know and observe. Oro threw out the scary-ass EX “Orb” (?) which makes me panic against Oro sometimes, to be honest. You air-parried the start of his activated Tengu, but it almost seemed like he…WANTed you to do that? I dunno if you woulda fared any better if you didn’t parry at all and just watch how you fall, but that was tough. You tried jumping over the EX Orb to avoid a potential cross-up nightmare, I take it, so, so far, you played sorta like me.
Round 3: You HAD this round/match, or so I thought! You grabbed after a blocked Hook. I find this useful every now and then, as well, but hardly try it anymore (not against someone like Ken w/ a good wake-up/reversal attack these days, at least). That’s WEIRD that he grabbed your next Hook attack…1 of those ‘weird’ moments I mentioned for this game (hard to figure out what/why it happened that way). Multi-hit Denpa is pretty good against Oro, I’d say 
You got an SA reversal on him: NIIIIIIIICE. You got the cross-up Denpa but followed up w/ st.wp: was this intentional, as a reset? I woulda just gone for the db+hp at this point. It looks like you tried to chip to death with Hooks, as I often try. I guess using a dif strength for the Hooks wouldn’t be enough to mess up his parry timing, and you already know he’s good at parrying rapid Denpa. You got brave when you parried his cr.hk though! Do you remember what you were trying to do when he hit you at the end w/ the 2-hit overhead? I guess you were just crouch-blocking in case he’d go for the cancellable cr.mk. I feel kinda like he got lucky that he had enough health left to block ALL but the last of the 4 hits of the Hook.
This honestly…wasn’t the best match for ME to analyze cos I have very limited experience w/ Oros O_O 'hope this helped though and was a good start for match critique (and at least HALF as fun to read as it was to ponder). ~Nick the Yank
I’m more reckless and impatient. I heard, on the other hand, that JP players don’t like it when someone turtles, so I don’t want to end up turtling while trying to be patient. Some say complaining about turtling is scrubby, but if you’re not really doing ANYTHING (besides building meter), it can get kinda boring; even time-out boring once in a while (or maybe it’s one thing if you complain that they’re not playing, and another if you complain about a turtler you can’t beat). The players just vary in their execution skills, but tend to play defensively/cautiously.
(I’ll offer some green if that helps!).
