I had a whole thing on what kind of blockstrings I run, but I'll save that for when I can get accurate info/video sources.
Anyway here's the most recent vid of myself playing from NEC and why I suck.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7yyee_HSYo1:51-2:00 – I pretty much wanted to see how pfhor was going to try and approach so there’s no real need to take too much of a risk and run right at him at the start
2:04: I hit pfhor with lvl 3 pit and had time to confirm something but I didn’t. Nerves I guess
2:05 – 2:20: More general spacing since I don’t want Kohaku to get in and start her bullshit. Too bad I fuck up my spacing with 22a and dash into a jC.
2:27 - Random Ryd shoutout from Dippy lol
2:30 – Should have sdj’ed as soon as I saw that cactus didn’t but me in blockstun, but I was worried about Kohaku jB so I held back and just landed back into the corner. Pffff
2:46 – Should have ended with jaa j2c instead because then I wouldn’t have landed on the other side. I really wasn’t expecting that and messed up my oki.
2:52 – Land with jb and didn’t dj jaa to keep pressure and instead kohaku is above me and I lose the round.
3:16 – Land random CH into IH relaunch confirm into DEATHTRAP. At this point in the match I decided that using up all of my meter to bring Kohaku down from full health to 25% in just about 5 seconds was the way to go.
3:40 – Pfhor gets hit with 214B right after he activates so I decided to pressure because I didn’t want him to regen anymore life.
3:46 – I fuck up the AD punish.
3:52 – Reacted too slow to the jc and shielded.
4:01 – Instead of doing 22a, the better option would have been to just get further on the other side of the screen to space properly again.
4:10 – Saw the throw whiff but didn’t want to risk hitting 2a too slow and eating another combo.
4:21 – Should have tried to get in a position of where I could space a 2c as AA. Fighting Kohaku air-to-air is ALWAYS disadvantage to F-akiha.
5:27 – Early jb to try and beat out jb from pfhor. Got lucky with the CH. ALSO should have done a better CH corner confirm. If I’m not mistaken I could have done: 2c 6c 2369{b} jaa jc dj8 ja j2c.
5:30 – Shouldn’t have used the 5b 421a otg string. I didn’t give pfhor a reason to NOT tech yet. In that situation you would buffer 22 right after 5b and see if they would tech or not.
5:34 – Don’t know what happened here. Either I wanted to shield or I messed up inputting backdash.
5:38 – Should have teched back and tried to get to a better position full screen.
5:46 – Instead of 214a, 22a would have been great because pfhor would have had to jump back to avoid the pit, otherwise I would have gotten a CH into some sort of confirm.
6:02 – Managed to get out of the corner. Once again, should have retreated to at least half screen
6:12 – After seeing the pit pfhor jumps back and respects it. The best response to that would have been another pit to keep him from jumping around.
6:24 – Good thing I waited for Kohaku to land otherwise I would have eaten a jc. F-aki’s 2c is amazing but only recommended to use at tip range. Otherwise other jumpins will score a free combo.
6:28 – Decided against using DEATHTRAP mainly because I saw that pfhor had max and would have activated to reduce the damage from 4k to 1.5k. So I use the midscreen knockdown to go for a tk flametounge mixup.
6:35 – Should have done 22a instead of 421a. I would have been able to do 214c right after making the most of my max meter AND having a lvl 2 pit right under kohaku.
6:40 – Right confirm, wrong ender. Use dj8 ja j2c.
6:42 – Baited the throw with a jump, but if it was just j9 instead of iad I would have been able to confirm the web hit.
6:45 – Didn’t want to get tagged with Kohaku 2c afterwards so I just peaced outta there.
7:18 – Didn’t wanna risk fucking up airthrow so I just jumped out. But airthrow IS what you do to when you see molotov missed input.
7:25 – 7:31 – Should have done 22a xx 236c otg. Had no real reason not to. No 214c in Any of those blockstrings. Again, had max meter to do so.
7:49 – Again with not sdj’ing after missed cactus.
8:02 – Even though there was the possibility that I COULD have hit max, I realy should have just done the 236c otg. It was too close to the end of the round to try and conserve meter.
8:14 – Don’t know why I let pfhor out of the corner when I hit max. pfffffff
8:17 – Fuck up the tech punish. You do dash 5a 5c. It covers pretty much every tech near the corner.
8:20 – Get hit, do wakeup shield, lose match. GGs.
