Crap, I haven’t posted on here in a while. Anyway, here’s a match from one of my favorite Bison players from the Eastcoast. Definitely inspired by the “lame” defensive style is eastcoast is known for.

i hate that i can manage to get randomed out by a cammy/yang/chun/sakura player in endless..and get so heated about it. I really need to work on those matchups so that type of shit never happens again.

The fact that I continue to manage to lose against players that have absolutely no sense of footies or proper spacing and rely on gimmicks and random play is really frustrating. Sigh. I suck.

I hate some players sometimes.

Makoto vs. Akuma

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 20:43:32 -0400

This match is hard if momentum isn’t on my side.

Like, st. roundhouse can be whiffed punished with Makoto’s cr. strong and I think cr. fierce, the latter leading into a knockdown. I think Makoto’s one of those characters where st. roundhouse actually hits twice on her while blocking.

On wakeup, I can do a tsrugi (jab or strong) to beat out demon flips, but I learned to not rely on that too much since Akuma can time the flip so that the Tsrugi whiffs and he gets a free punish.

There is a little bit more startup on the demon grab, so I should really think of a way of reacting to that.

Really, at the end of the day, I’m dealing with 50/50s during oki and I have to worry about oki setups in neutral.

TO THE LAB!

Makoto vs. Guy: Something I noticed in this match is his cr. fierce against backdashes. What was a little cool was that everytime I tried to backdash, I’d get hit on my recovery. I think I get tagged by this if I jump back in the corner as well.

And his bushin flip is still annoying.

Why am I losing to Goukens, I don’t know. Seems like it’s safer for him to rushdown in AE. Can’t seem to understand why. Might be because I’m playing Makoto and he just has better options to play neutral against her. His demon flip mixups aren’t anything to sleep on either. They’re tricky.

Wish I can play more Balrogs. Yun is still something I want to get better at. Akuma too. Too bad most of the Yuns online are soooooo bad…Not to mention my gameplan against them is pretty much non-existent. Ahh well.

Back to school work. I hate this game

Does anyone else think the Top 32 for SSF4 AE will be a lot better to watch that Top 32 Marvel?

It’s only Top 64 and im getting bored

Execution Stuff: Part 3

Thu, 21 Jul 2011 00:46:23 -0400

cr. jab, s. jab, cr. short, hayate: Left = 60% Right = 80%

st. jab, st. strong, hayate: Left = 90% Right = 80%

st. fierce, hayate cancel, st. strong, hayate: Left = 10%, Right = 40%

IA Tsrugi: Left = 80%, Right = 30%

Okay, so i added the instant air axe kick to the mix because it was one of those moves i wasnt getting down consistently. It’s kinda tought getting it really close to the ground though.

I havent been in training mode in so long though, but the numbers are somewhat better. Just need to work on that hayate cancel a bit more

Makoto vs. Fei/Yun

Sat, 16 Jul 2011 23:18:02 -0400

Yun pressure is really hard to escape. What worked was spacing him out and beating dive kicks with st. strong. Point-blank, there’s not much Makoto can really do. If i can actually get on the offense and just scare him from pressing buttons, then I think I can win.

Fei feels a bit easier to fight against, but thats still a bit of an overstatement. Mid-range game is really hard against both of them. Fei’s cr. strong and cr. fierce are too dangerous, since the former is super cancel-able and the latter does too much damage. Weird how everytime I went for a st. jab after a jab Hayate, I’d get CH’d by Fei’s cr. jab. Backdashing in the corner against Fei’s cr. short is bad because I’ll still get hit by the second short. =/

Execution Stuff: Part 2

Fri, 15 Jul 2011 23:37:00 -0400

Okay, I’m switching to learn Makoto. Lets see how this goes…

These are the combos I usually want to go for in matches. I’ll add more to the list once I start playing the character more..

cr. jab, s. jab, cr. short, hayate: Left = 20% Right = 90%

st. jab, st. strong, hayate: Left = 80% Right = 60%

st. fierce, hayate cancel, st. strong, hayate: Left 50%, Right = 10%

Obviously, the hayate cancels are still a trouble area for me so I’ll have to keep working on that. I was reading the forums and she has a lot of cool meaty setups.

Execution Stuff: Part 1

Thu, 07 Jul 2011 00:02:11 -0400

Performed 10 times on both sides

cr. jab, cl. jab, cr. forward, rekka x3 (100% right, 70% left)

cr. short x3, rekka x3 (80% right, 60% left)

cr. jab, cl. jab, cr. forward, DP (30% right, 80% left)

cr. jab, cl. jab, cr. forward, rekka x2, FADC, Ultra 2 (60% right, 0% left)

This is something I’m working on in order to get my execution up to par. I know I’ve missed a lot of ultra setups during matches, so I really need to get those and other combos up to 100%. The ones I posted are the ones I usually go for during matches, so I figured they should be the ones I need to work on. The ones lower than 80-90% is unacceptable to me and I really need to get those up. The other ones I need to get up to 100%.

I guess once everything is at 100%, I can work on doing 15 in a row and I’ll increment from there. Also, I’ll include other combos I run across later.
