My Kyo is a a lot more respectable than my balrog at this point so you should def add me for both! idk if we'll get a decent connection but worth trying :D unrelated but while he didn't do great, I'm pretty happy with Smug's results in the topanga world league thing. 3-5 overall with some 4-5 losses in there, nothing to be ashamed of. Certainly better than plenty of other times US players go to japan lol. Poor xiaohai tho... | ||

 Against Bison however, is there a reason you're playing more reserved in that matchup? I'm guessing Sakura doesn't have favorable options at midscreen when Bison is holding onto a charge. On the other hand, fullscreen fireballs and walk-up FADCs seemed very effective, looked like you were holding onto those FADCs for the final rounds. I wouldn't know the matchup though since I play neither. And it looked like you played correctly since you were still hitting him and getting the life lead in most matches. I liked how when you got him in the corner you tried to do as much as you can before he flew out. You rarely dropped any combos. If those were 1-frame links then that's really impressive. Any tips for doing those, or just keep practicing plinks and get used to the timing in training mode? I can't for the life of me do those and have to resort to less damaging (but more consistent) options. Even with plinks/2-frame ai inputs, it's still 1/30th of a second, fuck | ||

Once you get him knocked down though he's pretty free. Meaty LK tatsu stuffs reversal EX Psycho clean for a full combo (this is the dopest feeling thing ever) and makes EX head stomp whiff because it moves you forward (leading to another full combo). It loses to EX scissors, but EX scissors are unsafe on block so if you don't do anything then you get another full combo. Bison players generally hate being cornered (since they're usually the ones on offense) so they will do anything to get out of there, and you can use that sense of desperation to your advantage. | ||

June, you're absolutely right about those matches. Remember, for these players I'm the best player here and also the person doing the most coaching, so a lot of them come into the matches already scared. I'm trying to work with them to get past it - to identify my bad habits and pressure me to expose them. Work in progress. My Cammy is seriously fraudulent, but if you can't block, she's hard to deal with... As for the delayed wakeup and shit, yeah I have no idea why people are having so much trouble implementing that. They do it vs my Sakura (you have to, given her corner setups after Otoshi), but not vs my Cammy. The divekick setups are off a soft knockdown after arrow and vs a bunch of characters I have control over whether I cross up or not, on both quickstand and regular wakeup. Those setups are a lot fucking harder now -_- the crossup divekicks are usually -1 to -5 on block, depending on the character I honestly feel like a lot of people don't understand the offensive flow of the game, and how exploitable teching patterns are. I could give a class just on how to open people up lol... it's all cyclical, you just have to know all your options and NOTICE THEM not using/overusing one of theirs. If they have no holes like that, then you have to condition them. and yeah those are, for the most part, one frame links. The DP FADC cl.fp xx tatsu, c.fp xx ex tatsu are both one frame. The consistency is a product of grinding that shit in training mode I use a specific loop for practice:On Yun/Yang: [cl.mk xx tatsu, cl.mk xx tatsu, c.fp xx tatsu, c.fp xx tatsu, c.mk xx EX Shou FADC] ->[ cl.mk x tatsu ... etc]. All the tatsu loops links are 1f, really helps you drill this stuff. I can max out the combo counter in training mode after about 5 minutes of practice, thanks to massive amount of time i've put into those combos already The Cammy combos are all 2-3f links, so with plinking, it's a walk in the park | ||

Two major gripes about Steam SF4: 1. Microphone is on by default. I'm cognizant enough to notice my mic is broadcasting via the indicator so I turned it off, but a lot of people aren't or don't, so I end up with echoing sound effects or unexpected commentary sometimes. Like all could be silent (let's say the mic is away from the speakers, but still near the player) until you land a hit and hear "FUCK THAT I BLOCKED" -- it's jarring. 2. You can't message people without friending them first, which is a tremendous hassle. I want to give this other player some praise or tell him that was a close game or whatever, but I don't want to send a friend request over it even if it's temporary. And on his end, how is a random friend request going to look? "Oh does this guy want to gloat, whine or flame? Screw that I'm not accepting this request". At least in GFWL you could message people directly. | ||

Agreed on 1 and 2 though. There's not much community or friendship building in USF4 on PC because of it. | ||
