Post Your Weaknesses Here!

Kind of thought that was the point of the thread. So others could exploit your weaknesses thereby forcing you to improve in those areas...

 

It's tournament season on the east coast. Just sayin.

 

Yeah if 95% of the players are good or smart enough to exploit your weaknesses or habits......

 

throw break

 

That is how it should be if we want to get close to the Japanese players all of our weaknesses have to be exploited so we get stronger from it. If we work at it long enough we will have good group of guys that know how to handle every obvious situation in VF. From that point on it gets interesting because people have to get creative just to get wins on each other. I don't mind telling people what my weaknesses because I want people to exploit them to make me a better player. I got to my current level that way why should it change now.

Well, when are they doing it? I find that move occurs mostly at the end of a round, so be on your guard move than usual against it there. At the end of rounds is where you'll also come across -> Sweep.

 

I had no idea that some characters could switch between those commands for the same throw. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

 

I'm waiting for the Streisand effect to kick in regarding SDS and Tricky. Can't wait to learn how to beat that little monkey girl..

 

There is no Streisand Effect lmao!!! Master the Basics and you can win against me or anybody.. Or Pick Jean... One of my main weaknesses is... I get turned off midmatch against certain things... My frustrating at times can lead to my downfall but thats only online...

 

My greatest weakness doesn't involve my opponent, it's an internal mental battle. I'll get stuck sometimes by mistakes I made in the fight and not let it go, in effect taking away mental energy from the present situation I'm in. It's not really something someone else can tell me how to fix, I just have to let mistakes roll off my back. Even when those mistakes lead to a 80% launch CH combo or a RO.

 

You need more matches like your FT10 vs tony. That was an impressive comeback you made, and pretty exemplary of a competitive mindset.

 

That FT10 is a perfect example of what I am talking about. When I was pushed against the wall I was finally able to just let the hits I took roll off my back. I'm down for FT10's, I just ant to get one in offline setting. Tournaments work well for this kinda thing too. Just generally playing very strong opponents forces me to confront this kinda stuff in order to be consistent. It's something I"m always practicing.

 

Lack of character matchup knowledge weaknesses- Taka, Jean, El Blaze, Eileen, and Jeffry
- Most of the time i don't know what to do or what im seeing other than my health bar disappearing.
Tendencies to exploit
-Holding guard to overly read my opponent. (thinking process)
-Techroll very often and guarding 1st WITHOUT any throw escapes.( RAZE you know what i'm talking about)
-Lack of any offensive initative giving up the advantage after guarding an attack.
-Will always try to setup some type oki setup, knowing that my opp will never even try to tech and i get greedy in that scenario.
-lack of ring awareness
-overuse of sabakis
- will evade most of the time during nitaku situation, usually up.
-use alot of fuzzy guard when i dont need to use it

 

My weaknesses..so what i noticed latest.
- i have to improve my hitcheck game.( i always play with hitcheck, that is good thing but its kinda hard for me to react and choose moves wisely,and that makes me to abare some times, i need to work it really hard, espessially online that thing is really hard and frustrating)
-also i need to improve more my basics
- i am offensive player but when the game slow down i have problem.
- some of character matchups knowledge, aoi,elblaze,shun most.
the + things that improved more than before is that i abare a lot less.

 

I need to do better by sucking less. Once I do, my weaknesses will become less apparent.

 

my weaknesses is the cancel moves, i always attack with the basic but my opponent move up or down to evade my attack (obviously), i have problems in my defense i need to attack all the time, in Tekken & DOA i use to be a counter player (Asuka and Helena) in VF5FS looks that i forgot that.

 

Character matchup knowledge and punishing when I'm supposed to which is a part of matchup knowledge.

 

I have a drinking problem.

I too often forget to stop drinking and start doing serious damage with Shun. Picking throws and moves that increase drinks over damage out of habit. It's fine against someone that can't stop me running away and drinking more, drives those people nuts.

Plenty of matches lost to reckless drinking though... when in doubt ... you really don't need all those drinks Shun... So many opportunities for good combos squandered for the bitter devildrink... Getting launched while taking a swig... humiliating.

Occasionally snapping out of it and delivering a drunken fury though... worth it. A shitfaced Shun during a moment of clarity is like a force of nature.

I've got it under control man, I swear it will be different next time !
