Thank you very much, Heif. My problem is that I lack maturity in regards to this game... like, sometimes, I'm playing the game and someone easily beats me. I get so mad that I RQ, occasionally. I'm not able to put the game down because of that... and I also feel disappointed with myself that I cannot keep myself around at least 2500 BP. I mean, I'm at 2013 BP right now. I think that I can make a rushdown Sagat, although he'll heavily rely upon Kara Tiger Shots and Kara Tiger Knees. Thank you very much for the kind words.
You available at night and what time zone. Right now my wifi in this building is goin nuts. I tried it out this morning. I think its the damn firewall!
Felix... this took me forever to understand..... the only way to keep up a high BP, is to NEVER RQ. As much as your pissed and want to, just don't... take your loss and play friendlys for the next day, then when you feel confident again, go back to ranked. I left one reason out for never passing 2kBP and that was because I would RQ too much... I know it can be frustrating and hard, but take the loss. Sometimes your inputs won't go out, sometimes the lag will spike right at worse time, sometimes your opponent will see through everything you do and be 1 step ahead of you... thats the exciting part about the game though, being able to 1 up your challenger. I'm not sure if it was Cyrus because this was long ago.. but when I was trying to break 2kBP I ran into a zangief, which usually I take out pretty easily... not this guy I was determained and went 6 ranked matches with him, he beat me every single time, I was almost in tears and about to throw my phone at the wall... I finally just quit and decided I couldnt beat him, played right away and it matches me with him AGAIN, we went another 6 sets where he took them all, I was soooooooo upset it was like my lowest moment at this game ever lol If someone out plays you consistantly, its either because your not as good, or your just having an off day, either way, its time to leave the match at the quit screen, not RQ and just go to friendlys for a while. You'll get it!
Ya, my work has two wifi connetions, one works well, but I can only get it in the bathroom, unfortunatly, the T1 router that I have sneakily got under my desk... has a shitty Volt connection, for whatever reason its not slow, but causes the game to glitch in intervals... weird stuff where are you located? What times do you play most? *edit - I am on Pacific Coast... california
Rush down Sagats are rare but they definitely exist. Maybe it's because I play Sim, but I do see them. The better ones know when to back off and play a bit of zoning as well though. The other day I played a guy named elguapo79 twice in ranked. Both times he overwhelmed me in the 1st round by all-out aggression. Both times I was able to figure him out and win the 2nd and 3rd round. He certainly didn't come across as being as knowledgable about the game as you are (it seemed at times like mindless agression rather than pre-meditated and deliberate), but he had 2600 BPs and it really didn't shock me. I can totally see people freaking out under that kind of pressure. I did myself before regaining my composure. I only thought to record one of the matches but you can find it on the main page of my profile if you're interested.
lol, I get this from shotos, but it seems like Sagats are the worst... they are so used to playing headstomp spamming bison's, that they will just jump backwards and spam kicks or eblows the entire match..... which, when they do this is very easy to counter LOL so, thank you noob Bison's for making everyone parranoid and not play their best LOL Sagat is a pain, even if I get him cornered and have good pressure, they always manage an uppercut, god I hate Sagat's uppercut, it is REALLLLY powerful. When in doubt, felix... uppercut it out. LOL
You have no idea (I think) how much this helps me, Heif. I will follow your advice and do whatever I can to stay on the path. Huh... thanks. I'll check it out. I'd like to see more Sagats taking the initiative, personally.
Me too. I usually play around 10pm when kiddies are asleep but am playing KaChigga account. Friend request me there and you will see me!
10PM is a good time for me too, usually winding down and in bed. Hopefully we can connect tonight! After you beat my bison a few times I will start picking random lol
Hehe. I played that guy a couple days back. A couple uppercuts and he wasn't so aggressive anymore. It then turns into a staring contest
Good games, Nashberry! Makoto mirrors are so fun! I love all the mind games. Your Yun is a lot better than before, too! You just need to remember: when you get a Genei Jin away from the corner, you need to Senpukyaku - Zesshou Hohou - Senpukyaku juggle them to the corner. More damage. Also, I don't know why the game disconnected. :/
GGs Felix~ Haha~ oh man... the lag DC us thou... Never expect to met you on random~ XD But those are fun matches~ I enjoyed those! Makoto mirror and Yun mirror~ how often can you see such match up~ lol
Cammy's uppercut..... I was saying how much I hate sagats, I hate cammy's more haha Your really good with it too Apprunner, everytime I play you, I have to avoid any jumping at all, or pyshco crusher, or kicks, or blocking, or moving.... because anything I do will get defeated LOL Honestly, its like playing Cryus, but worse.... Cammy has much more mixup than geif so its like rock,paper, scissors, but if we added in 10 more variables! cammy starts walking up, oh shit grab!, no wait its uppercut, wait no cancel back into grab.. wait no, down kick "ill FA' nope right back into arrow or uppercutt.... jeez your cammy is so mean appruner!
I figured out my main issue with Gief. It's that I'm too used to Akuma. With Akuma, I liked to rush people, but in a way I wouldn't get hit, since he gets knocked out so quickly. My goal was always get a perfect. With Gief, I need to rush them, but it's okay to take on damage. I need to get that into my head. I keep trying to avoid too many hits, but I need to keep pushing in on them regardless. With some of those hits I'll bounce back quickly and it'll leave them right in front of me. Eventually, I've found most people will panic and that's when I can basically have my way with them. It's such a contrast that it's hard to get used to. I'm getting there. I'm much better now, but I still have a long way to go.
Oh yea~ I know about the juggle thingy~ but mmm donno issit Yun is small in size or what... I seem to have problem to juggle yun in the mid range~ guess is my timing issue thou~ will improve on that~ Oh yea~ Makoto mirror is fun~ XD
Glad to hear your improving, Gief has more than enough health to take the hits. One grab is gunna bring them down lower than your health anyway. Just dont get too careless.
Sorry dude...i'm sure its not that bad. The ONLY reason Bison isn't super powerful like Sagat is because his anti-air isn't so good. I have to be a bit more careful against Blanka (who i think is a lot like Bison) is because he has decent anti-air...although he has other issues that Bison doesn't have. As I said you are easily at the top of the Bison food chain meaning one of the toughest Bisons I have played
Yeah, I think Yun has the smallest air hitbox of all the characters in here. So tough to do combos against him sometimes... OK, reading it now.
yep, tank that damage.... and make sure you don't waste ultra or super, because thats when the round changes. You will take damage for 30 seconds without dying, you slap them a few times and land that ultra and BOOM. Tip against bison's, if you see they are headstomping a lot, especially on wake up, dash back JUST before the headstomp and then ultra time! Also, I figured this out against Cyrus, zief has a great way at using the range of other peoples attacks to connect a grab. If I go for two "safe" standing kicks to test distance, the second one can usually be grabbed! its the craziest thing ever, Cyrus is very good at it, when I play geif I try spamming grab and just get hit, but if you do it right, you can grab a shit ton of attacks and use their range to your grab benifit.. cool stuff
