GG's to FrakimusGrime, Air Jacky, AkiraZero, Hazzerone, The Weiand, SMB, and sanjuroAKIRA!

Thanks for sticking around guys and helping getting rid of the rust out of me, I only have a month for online but I'm going to make the best out of it!

 

GGs to Grusselgrosser, fun Van mirror matches ^_^

 

ggs to everyone i've had the pleasure to play over the last month or so. Thanks guys.

Especially you two, Tfam and Social Ruin. If not for you guys, there'd be just about no VF left for me to play.

That being said, i'm laying it back down for awhile. For me, Its lost its joy once again. I'm sure i'll be back around in a few months, till then. Thnx all.

 

Aww man that sucks It's cuz of your connection, right? Last time we played our connect was better but I can tell that your heart just isn't into it as much. You can still turn it on though, I just wish you would've picked somebody other than Akira to learn. Somebody like El Blaze, Shun, Jeffry or maybe even Wolf. I could see you doing a lot more Wasted Wish madness with those guys... but Akira... he's kinda wack for us twitch, abare artists

 

Too much Jacky, argh.

 

GG's to:

Dennis: It was great to finally play you again after a very long time! Those rolls you were doing with Kage was really funny and that one time you jumped out the ring accidentally was hilarious. I know it must have been weird when I was in disadvantage and I whiff like 2/3 throw's in a row while you crouch dash forward but I'm still getting used to holding G fast enough so bear with me! Also your a really smart player and I like that about you.

The Weiand: When we played the day before you called me a sally because I was doing too many low punches so I had to redeem myself! Well I'm glad that I've been forgiven, I better be after my performance. As a wolf player, what I think you should be doing more is throwing. Actually you seem to have the same problem as Frakimus, your just not throwing enough, strikes alone aren't going to get you very far against me but once your adding some throws in the mix then I start to panic like you do occasionally; I want you guys to throw me so much that Jeffry's head pops out!

Jinxhand: Sorry about those random disconnects but damn we must have played for like 2 hours or something! I think you are a good Jeffry player but let me give you some advice. First of all, just from the opening bell, 98% of the time you would back-dash and/or back-dash and evade. I tried to show you it's really, really predictable by doing crouch dash forward chokeslams half the time or splash's but for the most part you only switched a few times which I presume you did for the hell of it lol. Secondly, you need to mix up more with threat stance. You go into it a lot and yet all you do is Threat K, give or take 1 threat P I think I saw and a couple Threat P+K. This give me the reaction to either duck all the time and eat 10 damage or evade it, admittedly though once I got antsy I started to eat a lot of CH's from it but that's to be expected from a long session. Which leads me to the next thing which isn't so important, try to maximize your damage for combo's against heavyweight's, especially Jeff. You did the standard combo's even though it doesn't work on him, for example instead of trying to bounce me after a gut crumple do instead. Also, please throw more! The trend I noticed was that the matches you usually won were mostly responsible for the fact that all of a sudden your adding some FBB's or GTS's and I'll tell you myself that it makes a big difference.

The best part was the last match though when we did the "threat stance only match" it was incredible! You can actually do combo's like Threat K into Threat K haha. All the dancing around and shenanigans were also a welcome treat compared to some people who are too serious and get mad over it.

I can't remember anymore, anyways also the Akira vs. Aoi matches were pretty funny considering we were both scrubs, it was a nice change of pace from the intense matches from the mirror. I hope we can play again soon, gg's once again!

tonyfamillia: I haven't forgotten about you! Even though we only played a few matches, to me it was better then playing the 25 matches or so with Tallos5 Brad! I wasn't mad because I understand the phone call is more important and your busy, I had a lot of fun while the games lasted, infact your the first person so far to give me doubts about whether or not I can win much at all which is what I've been looking for! I was trying to figure out how to hit you really, it was almost impossible to throw you and my striking game was being nullified too. It feels like I'm trying to decipher a complex puzzle when I was playing you, an idea at the last moment popped in my head thinking "what if I throw out some 2p's" but by then time was up. Anyway if this was too long to read I'll summarize it: lets play again soon!

 

I'm getting my ass handed to me in big fat chunks. Who is kagiana777?

 

GG's to everyone i have played this week so far.

 

GGs Kamais, let's try to get a better session going either tonight or tomorrow night cuz I won't be online this weekend.
My mind was a bit gone dealing with a bit of drama lately but I got it a bit under control.

Here's a few tips on kicking my ass:
2P kills me man. Try doing more of it without getting predictable. Also you should try to do some low throws when I fuzzy. And try switching up from high throws to low throws after I techroll. Then when I start techrolling and attacking, bust out that big Jeffry knee and take away half of my life or more.
I know it's a bit laggy but you can do it. Next time we play, bring it! Good luck

 

GGs man... I only backdash outta Tekken habits, and most people don't really attack initially.. I had a few issues trying to OM and ended up going into threat stance... I don't really like threat only because it gets ducked 8 out of 10 times in my experience, so I stuck with threat . It felt like a low risk/low reward move for me (but lag might play a role in that). Threat + is my move that I use when I'm at a further distance and I feel the opponent will attack, so I time it in a way that will avoid their move and mine will connect. I try to use it mainly if the opponent is near a wall, that way I can stagger and follow up accordingly. I ended up not trying to bounce (I was able to do a few bounce combos but again maybe it was lag, iunno) so I stuck with . I'm glad I was able to do that toe kick to throw in a real match though... I'm still puzzled at the fact that I could connect +:+ while you were already doing +. Strange... Anyway, I already know I need to throw more. I've been forcing myself to do just that (like a 4evo challenge ). My strats do change when I do mirror matches, especially Jeffry mirror matches, because I'm either expecting moves to be done at a certain time, and I'm trying to avoid it, or whatever, so I don't end up playing my usual style (maybe I do and am unaware of it . Threat-only matches did help my movement and evasion imo... It reminded me of those 10% life matches I used to have in Tekken. When your health is really low, you tend to pay attention to your movement, spacing, strings, etc... Good stuff though!!!

I saw your combos and movement getting better, as well as mine... Things started coming back to me slowly but surely... I wasn't breaking as many throws with Aoi than normal, but my evasion was a little better... You seemed more aggressive with Akira though, I will say that... Aside from Jeffry, lets step those scrub characters up... Do you have a strong alternate that you use???

It was right of you to only be using Threat because like I always say to people the other moves aren't very effective against a knowledgeable opponent. That TKOD you did was really impressive, not because you did it while standing but you even backdashed before it, impressive! Actually, the chokeslam that happened during + is normal because the move can't go under highs right? It looked so funny though haha. It sounds silly but maybe we should do some more "threat stance-only" matches because damn it was fun and it forces a lot of movement like you said.

Regarding subs, I don't have any that are half as strong as Jeff unfortunately, but I'm going to be learning el blaze so maybe you can pick out your sub too and we can practice against each other. I'm a fast learner so I'll catch up pretty quickly.

 

GGs

Kamais - good stuff!
Social Ruin - nice lil session. what happened in the end there? sorry i dipped after it. it was 330am and needed to sleep... =/

more matches soon for sure!!!

 

hey flash,
ggs. You make some mean use of wolfs priority!!! Man nice shoulders. lol, i had to bounce out at the end, i couldn't hit any move that involved 2 inputs once our games started grinding. Sorry bout that, my roommate has ps3, so if he's online at the same time, our connection may show 3 bars, but it won't be.

 

This Sunday would anyone be up for some Shakedown madness? I'm getting my box back and I can't think of a better way to celebrate than to be slaughtered lol

 

i'm down for it! what time?

 

GG's in the last few days to AkiraZero, Dennis, Chief_Flash , tonyfamilia, Frakimus and Plague.

Dennis: Thanks again for taking your time and playing El Blaze mirror with me for so long, after seeing lot's of the stuff that you do with him I started to catch up really quickly and after just 1 day I've learnt a lot! Also we always have lots of funny matches so that's always a good thing!

Tony: I'm going to be practicing the things you told me in the PM and I have a goal before my live expires in a month and that is to win at least 40% of the matches against you, so watch your back haha.

Plague: Your shoulder rams and + were killing me just like when we played several months ago, deja-vu! I really like how it's 3 bars and I hope I gave you a decent warm-up before your friends came!

You know I'm in! Just update the official thread on when it's going to start and I'll be there for sure like the old times.

 

Great games to Social Ruin this morning. I'd just got up, you were just going to bed so I prob had the mental acuity advantage there could've stayed for longer than the 2 hours if you didn't have to go to bed.

Also great games to Marly Jay t'other day, can't remember them sorry just that they were good. Fun AK vs Ak tho-remember those.

GGs to Yesmaster this morning also. Mackfactor, The Weiand - ggs also yesterday. Been ages since I played you Weiand, a lot of fun. Mack! We should play more often.
