@Black_Jesus isn't the best player in this thread I'd be surprised. ggs man
Lost something like 25-6, most of the wins coming against Jack who has a weak sidestep. ten straight losses against his Asuka. Knew exactly how to beat all the Bear gimmicks and whiff punished everything. Got maybe four or five CH d1+2's out of HBS, totally neutralized that strat. Correctly sidestepped left to avoid the Bears db2- WS4 frametrap, as well as db3-df4.
gotta work on punishment for sure. Didn't launch a single tooth fairy or back three. Didn't duck any strings. Didn't twin piston Kazumi's shouryuken. Space control was bad, got walked to the wall every match where my character is most vulnerable. Have a bad habit of doing to full string of FC1, second hit is easily low parriable and that happened about six times.
Need to figure out what my options are against players who step and pressure well. Don't really have good safe pokes that track like Paul or Steve's whole movelist. Probably time to develop a secondary for bad matchups
