Good Games Thread

Cheers slide they were fun games apart from that lag, you Sarah seems to have improved a lot or maybe it's just cause I haven't played her in so long,

So with the PPKK, i'm better blocking all the string then retaliating? Not trying 2p you out of the last K? There's a lot of other mistakes I make when playing sarah too. I always go to smack her out of Flamingo at the wrong times, I need to look at her frames for some stuff and not try to p/2p my way through everything.

 

just duck the last hit of the string then you can attack with p or 2p. as long as you don't block the last k or try to 2p the last k you will be okay.

 

LOL Feck, I have the same problem against Sarah w/ Akira. Man she's tough to beat. Seems like she can just kick you in the face all day and not have to worry about getting hit back lol. But then again, I really should go to dojo and learn her moves. Any tips?

 

Cheers Mista tee, have to keep that in mind when dealing with that move. HotD, I have no tips for Sarah been a long time since I used her, my knowledge of the game was even poorer than it is now lol.

 

VGGS- Gent Thief aka Lucky_GT....
What can I say other than thank you for that session. I understood so much more of why you do what you do this time... I think you used to beat me up and I didn't quite get what you were doing to me.

You can do some of the most difficult combos like nothing, your max damage makes a big difference between us. I'm pretty sure you saw it too. Like, "oh, you woulda beat me if you had done a bigger combo or didn't drop that one." Your execution is ~flawless.

GGS- Subbers...
Holy shit dude, whoa! You crizzushed me with Aoi. I literally went into dojo and did "command training" with her after that. You just came at me, did the dreaded abare mixed with mid-reversal/sabaki and thrashed me real good. I have much trouble with that mix-up. Like I said before, to me, Aoi and Pai = /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

Next time I think I'll just whore mid-sabaki as soon as I see PP come out. One of the things about Aoi/Pai that mess with my head is that they can just do strings in my face and I have to block for extended periods of time to defent the mix-up. If you manage to abare out, I have to wait for another string to finish and it ends killing my timing somehow.

For example, you would get me ~near the edge of the ring (yeah, I woulda done waaaay better with some walls) and I couldn't get out of the way of a parked car at that point. I'd go for an evade or OM and something about your strings or online, I couldn't buffer my evade correctly. I can't just block because the strings can be so long it will push me out of the ring. Her juggles must carry as far as anyone in the game cause you could ring me out off anything more than a little past the center of the ring.

Then the ground-throws she gets off of her other throws, that MOTHER FUCKER!!! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif She bends down so fast that even if I struggled out you could still pressure me! Try that with Goh! If I miss a ground throw it takes a week for me to stand back up. Regardless, thanks for the ass-whooping...

If it gets me into dojo to finally learn Aoi's moves, I guess it's worth it. Anyone else, if you don't know about Subbers, watch out now.

GGS Seidon- Don't worry man, you'll get the stick down and love it. I could sense that you were a little unsure at times, that's when I'd pour on the pressure. You use the Short Shoulder too well though!

GGS Player Match- In the words of B. Feck, "Ranked is wank"

 

Just what Mista Tee said, crouch the last hit. It's a high high high *high string. It's not a very useful string, but it has it's uses against string impatience.

vs Sarah if you guard PP, crouch and watch. PP2K is float guarantee, PP2KK(the mid you can see it or jab her out of it if you can).
if you guard P, fuzzy. P4K beats fuzzy but if it normal hits you, Sarah is at -, if you guard it Sarah is at -.

Solid initial Sarah choice game is P - throw or P4K -> yesterday I didn't use this on you because it was laggy hard to check stuff so I just threw out strings and big moves all day.

The moves Sarah goes into flamingo off of, once you see those, it's a guessing game for you both so when you outguess, outguess big if you can. Sarah's hits in flamingo lead to another set of choices between you both. Unless it's catch throw(which knocks down), and staggers(which you can connect a loop).

I'd say it's easier said than done, because personally I have a hard time vs Sarah... unless I'm not using Sarah.

 

Last hit of Sarah's PPKK is advantage on block and special high, so you will propably be hit if you try to lowpunch it.

 

Sounds like fuzzy after the first 2p would be a good idea if it's normal hit, then just react accordingly to whatever the opponent uses. Duck again if it's pkk or the p2k and the rest block high.

I'm familiar with the moves from flamingo, just got no clue were she is at advantage/disadvantage. So I can't even make a guess, never mind guess right haha... Seeing as i'm familiar with the moves I should be able to sort this easy by looking at the frames.

Thanks a lot Slide /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

Yeah that's why the ppkk was killing me, I was trying to hit her out of the last kick with 2p. Killed me hard /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

 

Vs FL, if you are aware they are going to use k strings, SS to her front and launch. with FL you really don't want to stand there and block unless they are going to use a low or her catch throw. Think more about what THEY are going to do and react to it. be humble about it because she has an awnser for ever situation in FL.

GG's to everyone I have faced today.

FUCKING BAD games to my controller and ranking mode. twice in one week I am one win away from getting Defender back and the Fucking k button fails. HOW CAN SARAH WIN WITH NO K BUTTON!!! So as soon as I lose the guys who manage to steal a lucky win from me take off and hide in player match. WTF!!!... I am going to take a short break to clear my head.

 

GG's To AdamYuki - Damn every match came down to the wire and you've pull it out Good shit Man.I going to find out what i was doing wrong and address it immediately.Tat was a good learning experience.


GG's to AyuFanboy - I was using a pad that why i seem so passive and stagnant. Your buffering has become good with Akira and i like what i saw.I was impressed how you weren't missing a beat on those combos.

 

GGs to Manaknight, sorry I left so suddenly.

Special GGS to THRfin, thanks man for rematching me so much, my Shun is bad but I am trying not to 1KK and play boring!

 

I would just like to mention that THRfin is the ONLY player i've come across who inputs low throw escapes EVERY TIME he does a sweep /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbs_up.gif

 

GGS to Frankimus Grime (I believe that's his name...)

Awesome set against your Vanessa! I had a lot of fun!

 

GGs to MarlyJay and Shadoolord. Nice Eileen and Pai!

 

Good games to Tsua it seems your akira has improved some good games. I think I scared you into doing Lau's /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif out of the threat of Pai's bokutai towards the end since I was seeing the move so much since you were hitting me out of the stance with it. That elbow of his was getting annoying too even though it didn't faze me too much and as expected my mid inashi's were always off target. That position throw and the set ups you have after them really messed me up as well. I had to guess and hope that a sidestep or ducking tactic would have worked but I was off balanced the whole way.

Also good games to kingpin619 your Akira was solid great matches and your kage is so tricky that I always have a hard time dealing with all his counter hits and tricky tactics damn him to hell.

Good games to everyone else as well.

GGS~
Adam: Haha~ I remembered the last time we play with "no bar" was when I stayed in SF, and it happened again!! I hope our matches could base on my own Internet and I believe there would be much better!!! I need to reconsider about 43P+K, it's really good~~

Denkai: Thanks for the practice and you shouldn't use Jacky cuz I had nothing to do about him...Which combo do you prefer after 8K or 8K+G?? I always missed that chance....And also when you escape from my P+G, what can I do to deal with your 2P?? Anything guarantee?? Next time please give me some Shun matches when you have a chance, I really need them~

Lucky: Thanks for the games for last couple weeks, always great games with all your characters, especially that fucking killer!!
It amazed me not only your set ups but also our connection, I felt comfortable about it and it's really hard to believe you were at east coast during that moment. I'm also wondering what kind of internet you using?? Fiber optic?? The best quality for me with east are Konjou and you, and I can't imagine how much better between you guys match~

Btw, I'm seeking anyone who play Shun, and please let me know if you guys need some games.^^ I would like to gain some personally experience as much as I can.

Finally, happy Chinese new year to anybody who speaks mandarin here and best wish of course~~
