    ggs tfam. it was a lot of fun playing ur brad with jacky. I don't feel like i know jacky that well, so it forces me to really think out my attack....then swoosh swoosh swoosh, spam a little beat knuckle for the hell of it to counter brad flow and then start thinking back out my attack again. I was having trouble dealing with all the mixup of 2p vs sway at disadv. It was fun trying to get it down. look forward to the rematch. nice brad

    GGs Mista Tee, great playing you again. We hadn't played since March. That's when my system broke down. Had not played VF for 3 months... except for some VF5 on the PS3 but I can't play with a pad anymore, lol.
    Don't know if you noticed but I was tired as hell. I was having so much fun though that I really didn't want to go to sleep >_<

    GGs to...

    Smb, your Akira is not as bad as you think. If you have good yomi, which I think you do, all you need is a handful of Akira's best moves, throws and his catch throw which you shoulda ran on me cuz I always mess up the inputs to get out of it. There's so many mixups off that things too. Once you get more confident in your choices you'll do great. The lag wasn't as strong as the last few times we had played way back [​IMG]

    Plague, FINALLY pulled off eteg against you *blows his own trumpet while patting his own back* Very fun and aggressive games. Great playing you again.

    ...gotta go, more ggs to come...

    ggs to tfam once again.

    Edit: i just spent 3 solid paragraphs bitching about akira's ineptitude, and lag [​IMG] no one wants to hear that [​IMG]

    Good goh, my man. I gotta say, your yomi is off the charts right now. You duck all my throws, and yet somehow manage to be standing there like a boring statue hold guard the rare occasion i decide i'll do a mid follow up instead. Furthermore, way to repeatedly punish my myriad bad habits, to the point that you actually forced my hand at improving a small iota throughout the matches.

    I did feel as if the lag took away some of my options, and forced me to be more linear than i woudl have liked (with an already linear character) but even then, you picked apart the consistent mindless decisions i was making. pk will be (and was) the death of me. i have a terrible habit of mashing pk whenever i get in trouble...DOH. not a good move to do when you are already at a disadvantage. and you did a nice job of readjusting as soon as (after 15 matches) i finally started to breakout of my bad patterns.

    haha, after 10 fights of 66p+kp, followed by high attacks, and OMP followed by high attacks--all of which you deftly ducked and punished--i finally started mixing in mids. scored my like 2-4 hits and then you adjusted, lol.

    It was fun. can't wait to mix it up some more.


    p.s. REQUEST FOR SUGGESTIONS (from you tfam, SOCIAL RUIN, and KONJOU) since you three are the only ones i've played over the last week.

    I seem to have mastered the failed fuzzy guard. Any suggestions for breaking out of this pattern?

    I swear, i duck 90% of throws coming my way, only to stand up just in time to get thrown. And i also manage to duck the last moment possible to get staggered by every mid that comes my way.

    obviously, the smartass answer is, duck longer when you expect a throw, duck less or not at all when they are using mids....but uh, this is occuring on almost a subconscious read and react level. And one seems to negatively affect the other, i think. As in, i get hit, try to duck a throw, stand up into it, and think **shit, duck longer** so i duck a little longer/later and eat a million mids, until i speed it up and get thrown. its a negative cycle that im having trouble breaking out of.

    GGs last night to Queen of Carnage. I liked the time when you did Van's rising knee attack and not only did it hit my low rising kick but went through to the other side of me and then you proceeded to KO me with an air combo. =)

    GGs to...

    Rodney! Killa Konjou, that Lei is hot like fiyah! Lol, for really though, I like your Lei. It's not flashy or full of stances but even though I'm not a Lei player and I didn't know most of the moves that you were doing I couldn't help but appreciate how much yomi went into your selection of moves.
    I like how you would do something that would leave you at small disadvantage and then do a move with evasive properties so that neither my elbow or 2P would hit you, I couldn't even throw you cuz you were in the middle of this magical attack. Genius.
    You, sir, are a hard as fuck to read. Must be something in the NY water or something cuz you, Denkai and Adam are like the Bermuda Triangle of VF, hard to figure out. I gotta give props where props are due and you get props bro.
    Thanks for always encouraging me to improve and for all of your advice throughout the years. It's thanks to listening to players like you and Dennis that I have been able to improve little by little *bows*

    Social, good to play you again. Hadn't heard from you in a while but, trust me, I know how it is. I had a live-in GF up until the end of last year and I know how hard it is to balance work, school, gf and the rest of life's lil nuances. I understand, life keeps getting in the way of VF [​IMG]
    Nice Jacky, you shoulda spammed some more of that beat knuckle until I learned [​IMG] That 10th match we had got soo intense. You were def not trying to have any of my shenanigans so I had to switch to basic Brad on you. Lame, I know but I've learned from guys like Konjou that 9 times out of 10, basics beats flash.

    Smb, don't worry about it bro, it's VF and we all get competitive and get our bitch-on from time to time... it was a little bit like what I did to you when I used to bitch about Lei a few years ago [​IMG] I like your Akira, you keep getting Aki exp and lag exp (I bet you deal with all different kinds of lag where you're at) and your confidence will grow. Your yomi's still strong... just say no to spamming... unless it's working [​IMG]

    Lost Cloud, hardly see you on these boards but it was good to play you since you do have your own style and our games are fast and fun.

    Boris, you're stronger now [​IMG]

    Gastinell, keep up the good work.

    Adam, it was laggy but your hit-checking and yomi were still intact. Great playing you again.

    Dennis, wow... that Lei was crazy. It was all over the place. I literally wasn't ready for all that action. I don't know if you quit or what bc I was having a few dc problems that night but it was great to see your game be even stronger than before. Thanks to you now I do at least one throw escape more than 50% of the time I evade now. Still a work in progress though. Thanks for the games with Lau too. I felt that was a good practice session for both you and me.

    GodEater, that lag was def shitty but I still enjoyed your head games. I look forward to meeting you and playing in person someday. I'm sure I can learn a lot from you.

    HappyFriend, Idk what happened there towards the end but I had a good time while it lasted.

    Cozby, ggs but I don't know why you were freezing so much, it wasn't like you. You must have been experimenting and trying to read me.

    GGs 2
    -Queenofcarnage: Your Vanessa is dope... Great mixups!!!

    -Wasted Wish: Hopefully we can bust out with better Akiras and Aois. Those matches were still fun... I like learning/relearning things on the fly while I'm fighting...

    -Dennis0201: Sorry for not being able to get back on. I'll be on 2maro... I do feel like I play better when I fight you though.

    -Lost Cloud86: Hey that Wolf is looking pretty sharp. That's only the first time I've fought your Wolf, but its pretty good.

    -Rikojjang: Connection was aight, but the matches were still beneficial for me. Dope Kage.

    I'll be up for some more matches 2maro... I'm relearning Aoi, so hit me up for some sessions.

    GGs to Social Ruin. Jackys Coming along nicely. You just gotta stop being so random and stick to your plan from jump.Same thing goes for Goh. He completely unpredictable in a good way. That Lei is a terror. Against Brad i had no wins. Ihadn't used brad in so long i was finished from the start lol!!

    GG's to Weiand - You definetly improve on your defense and your understanding of Jacky. I was dead tired but i wanted to get a session in still cause i felt the urge.


    Im back on VF folk Temporarily. I stole my Cousin hori ex pro stick and it feels weird. Some i trying to cram games in with everbody cause i realize how much i miss paying VF.

    ggs to SDS. Always a pleasure. Lol, at my jacky coming along nicely, i haven't really played since monster hunter came out. I need to get back in the dojo and practice my defense, all my new found prowess at TE is already gone in just a month inactivity. Your jacky is still niceness. I love those flash kick mix ups. So deadly. So pretty. Then i switched to goh, and idk switching from jacky to other characters is wierd. I'm using goh trying to press pkg before rounds, and trying to 1pk lol. And i hate me some brad when i'm using goh. Sorry we didn't get to work up to the money match lei vs jacky, but my brother was blackmailing me into some games. Nice playing you again.

    ggs to smb. Akira coming along. Don't have much to say we didn't already talk about. play ya again soon buddy

    yeah the lag was too frustrating to me since I only just got back from months off due to RRoD so I had to bail but they were fun games. Brad remains a huge huge hole in my game. we can try again some night, I know we've had better play conditions!!!

    My bad Tony, it's just I didn't know what to expect from you at any point in time lol. I should try guessing faster but it's really hard for me to get any conditioning in or get a grip on what you're trying to do. Ill just keep throwing out de and sde all day.

    GG's to T-Fam again from a few nights ago. Tony let me say this and I hope you take it very seriously. You really are a great player. I think it's time you get the thought out of your head that you are beneath everyone else or else that's where you will stay. The road ahead will always be tough and while your walking it like the rest of us just don't give into frustration and you will be fine. Remember to always have fun and the things you think you can't figure will eventually figure themselves out because you didn't give in to mindless frustration that will cloud your judgement.

    Try offering advice to players from now on instead of seeking it, but please, please, please no matter how you feel about the person, character, gay situation in the game... always be fair so your credibility and honor stays intact.

    And with that I bid the GG's thread good bye until the next VF. This time it's for real as my Xbox will probably be sold by tomorrow as long as the buyer doesn't cancel. I want to pick up one of the new Xbox's, but I probably won't do so until the next VF becomes available or when Kinect / Natal is available.

    Peace and see ya'll around the boards in a random thread near you!
