Good Games Thread

GGs Cozby U my friend are a freakin beast on monday , u know me and lei too well, my tendencies, my flows and exposed every weak point in my game. GGs to yupa also, thanks for bringing ur 360 over. Ur sarah keeps showing me different looks in offense every time we play.

 

haha Lei's 236p+k sabaki isn't THAT risky in comparison to the reward gained from it. I was gonna switch to Sarah from Akira, but I wanted to see how I could do with Jacky against it. Jacky's 4k is 14f and it was a safe tool to thwart that move. They nerfed the sabaki in R though; you can't combo off of it.

Ggs to Dennis! That wolf is tough! Do all of his moves have to do so much damage? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif You make me play my hardest though, I really appreciate that. We'll play a ton in Socal right?

 

Good games to Neok T0002, AbadaX, dfc78, Ang 617, Jons Up, loki jih, and everyone else I played last night and tonight. Had a blast!

Konjou: Nice Lei Fei. Damn he can dish out some pain. Those floating (near) ground combos suck... I mean good job.

Chief Flash: Had a blast playing against you. It's nice to lose to a legit Wolf player. I hate losing via low punch, dmpk spam. I hope to improve enough to follow through with wins on those close matches.

Erdraug: Just when I thought I had Vanessa mostly figured out, you showed me whole new ways to be destroyed by her. Back to the drawing board for me... mental note: stop dodging into her damn kicks!

Gruesselgrosser: Only played once tonight, but it was a fun, close match. I'll get you next time.

Templario IV: I always learn something when I play you. One of these days I'll win the majority of fights in our sessions.

Everyone else, feel free to look me up for matches any time I am round... and please do not go easy on me. It may take a few matches to adjust, but I will adjust enough to make things interesting. I want to learn and improve and the only way to do that is to play against the best.

 

GGs Cozby~
Yes, we will have tons of matches in socal!!
Two more weeks!!!

 

Rodney, Konjou... All the same to me bro! I don't mind. Just don't call me Jerky... that guy sucks! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

Damn I miss that dude! I wonder what he is up too!

 

Actually that was a great job of explaining it. You know whats funny? That 90% korean shun conquerer destroyed me in the corner doing this, and i had no idea exactly what happened until you just explained it to me. thanks man. I've been dabbling with shun, i'd like to play you sometime and see what i can pick up. Jhow has been kind enough to help me /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
but since you are never on and i'm never on, it probably won't happen, but i'll keep an eye out for you.

We need to all pull funds and hire VH1 to do an extra special "VFDC MEMBERS, WHERE ARE THEY NOW"

 

GGs Zym_Dragon, like i said, i feel bad for stealing so many rounds with hard low punch spam but you gotta work some mids into your game. It became painfully obvious after the first matches and you didn't seem to adapt. Low punch spam is something that should not give you trouble with pai, srsly. Another thing that got you killed was trying to always close the distance with pai's (arguably good) /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif. Sure it worked half the time but the risk vs reward is not that good against a vanessa player who's expacting it since vane's jumping /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif will more than make up for bokutai chip damage. Try mixing it up with, dunno, somersault kicks? dash > evade bait ( /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif ) ? Don't be afraid to ask for help concerning range in the Pai subforum, i know it worked for my brad /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

On an unrelated note, GGs JonsUp! Still 100% abare, still the same moves over and over, still winning half our matches /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif

 

ggs rodney.

in our session, my goal was to focus on ETEG, fuzzy, and staying safer. i somewhat learned how to gain and maintain advantage also. when i see you this weekend, let's have another session yeah? still trying to realize answers to a few situations. thank you bro.

 

Great and fun ass games to Yupa this morning!

 

Good session and you did react nicely to a lot of things. I was very surprised. My problem as usual was even when I punished you or anyone for certain things you just kept doing them any way. You think I would know the American way by now... Why change it even if it's obvious if it still works from time to time? hehe I love America!

In my opinion though you rely on 6k+g 3p+k and 2P way to much man. This is why you have such a hard time against Akmal. Someone like him who has better reflexes than me will not fall for these things. Also I'm curious how this will affect your game if / when we get R since 3p+k is gone and the threat of 2P PGS is no more.

Honestly that's half the reason I get hit by 6k+g, it's because I don't want you to dash in quickly and PGS me so I'm always crouching at the wrong time... you are simply the best at dash PGS and I really don't know how you can get it off that fast bro, really good shit man.

Also in R there is the addition of Utori (easy throw escape) which further nerfs the threat of F5 and PGS even more.

Any way, just my 2 cents... I am getting better a TE-ing as I am sure you notice when we played, so once my fear of PGS is gone I'm curious to see how 6k+g will work against me. Plus thanks to the help of Gerald I'm gonna work on a few other things for the next week or so that should really up my game another notch.


GG's to Jhow77... I take it you were drinking from Shun's bottle again last night. Fun stuff man... sometimes I really wish I never told you about drink management because now your game is like 70% drink management which is really fucking annoying / hard to deal it... throw in a few frame losses to small lag and it's just O_O hahahahaha still I enjoy all of our matches even the bad ones after calming down from frustration.

GG's to anyone else that I may have forgotten.

 

6K+G is the SHIT! -4 on BLOCK! stagger on hit! beats high P and high K! holla! also, i may 2p a lot, but you 2p like 3-4 times consecutively! SUP WITH THAT?! i think 2P MC is a big part of wolf's game imho. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

as far as R is concerned. i'll prolly go back to Akira as my main. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

I think we both have this problem. For me sometimes it was so bad that I used to get to the point where I would stop doing what was actually working, simply because it worked a couple of times previously(and I didn't think it would keep working). Denkai pointed that out to me one time. - this typically only applied when I played my main.

 

What? We don't have 3P+K in R??
Oh~NO~~~

 

I'm waiting for the tier list and see what's gonna change in Ver.B

 

Good games to Khan Rahn and Morphost today! Khan, So few games? Oh well. More next time!

 

I 2P 3-4 consecutively because you and many others INSIST on abare-ing any situation. There was one case where I did 2P MC and you did 9p+k... I was like O_O OK?... then another where my shoulder connected and you staggered and I just waited to see what you would do and you did 6k+g another O_O ok?

I'm not telling you how to play, but really it just boggle my mind when I see stuff like that when there are so many other options to recovery from a stagger and then spam out a move.

So back to what I said in my post to you. The reason it works is because I really think you or anyone will change after being constantly warned. For example it was 5th round and I luckily got the initiative early with a PK, I knew you would abare so I did PK again and even then I knew you would abare again so I did DE not once, not twice but 3 times then finished it off with a SDE to take the match. After I won I then did like 5 2P in a row not really to mock, but to let you know that's why you lost and I let the replay play on purpose so you could see Wolf try to 2P before he ate the SDE.

See that's my problem and Adam has constantly told me that I need to never give any of my opponents that much respect in regards to them changing even after being warned. Please do not take that statement as an insult because it's actually more directed towards me than my opponent.

 

I was going to let things just ride of what not but I feel the need to say something here.

None other: We have played before today and the last few times you beat my face into the ground. They were good games but you usually got the better of me. Then today when I beat you, You messaged me with "I am spamming too much" The last time I played you, You tossed me around like a ragdoll. Not only did you toss me around like a rag doll but I consistanly kept getting punished for NOT attacking you. Over the last few months, I have been playing as much as I can to improve as much as I can. I feel like all of my practice goes out of the window when you tell me that "I dont like your playstyle' Its too spammy"

We have a 3 bar connection. Our connection couldnt be better. So it isnt like we were in a laggy environment. We were breaking grabs and everything along with fuzzy guarding. Isnt VF a game of adaptation? If you had such a problem with my "spamming" Then shut me down. Your a much better then I am so I am having a hard time understanding why you decided to insult me the way that you did by saying all of what you said in your message to me. I guess it makes you feel better to insult those who are worse than you? Sorry i dont measure up to your "Playstyle" meter

 

I don't insult people who are worse than me, don't take it wrong way but I don't want to insult you, it's just that's how I saw your style in the match.

I was pointing that out, but I wasn't try to be mean to you.

Well please check your message on XBox Live. I sent you a message after I got message.

 

GGs to Carolina Panther. Man that was frustrating as hell for me. Its like you've made your mid defense counters, and your high/low defense is ducking. When I'm playing a character without low throws, I have no idea what to do. But you caught me playing one of my fuck-around characters (Akira), so don't judge me too harshly. My Akira is crap, as evidenced by the hundred or so SPoDs I missed.

BGs to me for picking Akira. Though it was good for me staggering you 5 times in a row /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif Seems like the only time I find VFDC'ers is when I'm not playing my mains. If I pick Vane or Wolf, all I find are random n00bs. This statement, of course, is an exaggeration.

 

right on bro. though im not quite sure why this is unorthodox? im willing to bet that my instincts told me that you were gonna throw after either 2P MC or shoulder stagger. both 9pk and 6kg won't clash in that scenario.

however, you are absolutely correct that i should keep my options open. what i SHOULD do after ur 2P MC or shoulder stagger is eteg, but im afraid to do so because (1)you are very good at delaying akira's 46p, and (2) my reaction speed is not yet up to par in order to recover from stagger then ETEG.

<sigh> i've still got lots to learn...thank you for your input. let's play again.
