so lately my execution been really bad. played too much maybe?

I suck at other characters, maybe i should try play others (like seriously).

Havent been to TRF for 3 weeks or so already. Wanna try going this week.

Anyway, anyone here been using the plinking technique?

oh and for abel, the elf matchup is pretty much a ridiculous guessing game + whoever gets the first knockdown has the advantage. I have problems against extremely aggressive elf with crazy mixups.

lol thats the thread. I dont really know how to use it for SGS(i think there's a video with input commands for it), so far i only use it to do the one frame link for my poor abel. But its all in that thread.

i dont think the opp get trapped because the MP never hit anyway.

edited: and yes its only cancellable into super. you cant cancel anything into ultra in sf4.

lol unfortunately based from my experience seeing supposedly pro players play, they mash tech throw(not blindly though) quite often too. tech throwing skills will develop with time if you pay attention to you matchups (diff char, diff tick throw setups) and usually when you're blocking a blockstring, pay close enough attention and you should be able to tech throw or backdash and punish.

tech throw = matchup knowledge + good reflex(eye to hand coordination)

as for your case, your brother probably caught you during your recovery, you messed up the timing of the mashed lp+lk(lol yes mashing has timing too) and try to throw him while he's not really in range and he grab you out of that. just a theory lol. Oh and did ya mash the lp+lk while crouching? its easier to tech throw standing.

on the other hand, after not playing for a few days because of school, my abel got wrecked by another abel at the arcades just now. 500yen wasted just like that

edited: and yes, what tristan said, you cant tech a command throw or during recovery or an air throw(lol), and gouken's backthrow is slow as hell its too easy to tech that, makin it ridiculously useless to do backthrow into ultra in a real match.

lol bread n milk

some vids i took just now, didnt get to record much. only 8 matches though. nothing special, just some G2 championship matches.

p/s- some are still being uploaded

hahahha i hate gief. i need a 2nd character to handle that matchup. ridiculous.

against those who dont know the matchup well, sure its fun to command throw them out of their wake up ultra. but gief who knows the matchups, i'll get poked to death.

anyway yeah, i think you're right, i need to work on my spacing against gief.. at least a blocked ex green hand is punishable. the match is sure boring as hell though.

You can block headstomp(and the follow up - devils reverse) standing just fine. Dont believe me, try it yourself in training mode.
Maybe its the lag.

Definitely NOT abel. LOL

Maybe guile BUT he can be played both ways(defensive/offensive), he'd be a great character if not for his shitty ultra.

Maybe sagat since he can stay far away and tiget shot all day long?

lol this is a problem for most of the char against a turtling blanka (an aggresive, mixup crazy blanka is more of a pain though, i think, i hate them more than a turtling blanka)..

like darkstalker said, just walk back and forth, and bait(lol you dont need FA to bait) the ball, block the ball and work from there since blanka's pretty vulnerable after a blocked ball.

a good yomi can help too, like sometimes i just know that blanka is going to do the slide(you can predict this from a blanka that walks forward when in range) so i fa crumple that and ultra (or any punish) ftw..

maybe you can go into training mode and try punishing a blocked blanka ball or learn what move beats it. (like abel, st.mp or cr.mp beats it clean)

lol@hatemail because of emoticons.

gargh i havent played the game for nearly a week now. bloody school. >:|

13 new vids from me!

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=E93C8CF9FE44DE59

i havent touched the game for 2 weeks so i messed up ultras here and there (especially when im facing right, my weak side)..

enjoy the vids!

I think the card system is exclusive to Japan. I can get you one(or more if you want ). Though I'm only coming back for 2 weeks this september.

Oh and, to those who know, whats the diff between Seimitsu/Sanwa buttons? I'm using HRAP3 with Sanwa buttons and I'm loving em so far.

there're a few designs to choose from, so far i've only 2 cards since one card can only last 500 matches. i'll check out the arcades in a bit and give ya more details.

wow you gotta have a lotta dough to be able to afford a machine o.O
