get over yourself... it's time to learn!

Another team battle! This time, I get some action. Sensei was still testing out Dudley and I was testing out Adon right before this match. sickthink decided to stay and this is the result.

He soundly beat my Adon but that's a given since it was my second time using Adon online. After he beat Sensei, I couldn't guarantee my opponent's victory once more. Sakura was called upon again. His Sagat did his best to control space. I think he was expecting me to rush or jump in a lot. Despite every fiber of my being telling me to get in there as quickly as possible, I put some restraint. This seemed to work to my advantage. He misread my next move on a few occasions. I don't think I was baiting any time of advances but I guess he was thinking I'd move in when I didn't.

In the first round, I hit him with what many would call a "random" ultra. I knew full well he was going to try to tick or punish the EX shunpu and I guess that's about it! ^_~ During the second round, he did a better job at maintaining the distance where he had a the advantage. I also started to hesitate a bit and that ended in a loss. The final round went down to the wire I guess. He mixed up being aggressive and zoning as best he could but poor choices in trying to figure out my movements lead to seemingly "random" tiger uppercuts. He had the lead but instead of going for the kill, he kept away from me. Taking too long to finish me off leads to bad things happening. Three good normals brought him down to nothing and he assumed I would continue my assault. He threw out a very "random" ultra in hopes he could catch me trying to close the gap but was wrong. That's his bad. EX shunpu for the win. ^_^

first team battle of 5/02/2010

I don't have a "witty" title for this entry... lol.

One of many other team battles to be uploaded. This one was split due to the 10 minute time limit on youtube. I'm sure I could get away with having it a little over but I'd rather not risk wasting all that time in the initial render to go back, split the video, and wait for both to render one at a time.

I was still trying to feel my way with Adon. Sensei was testing out Dudley also. He just fared a whole lot better than me. lol.

Litchi, are you okay?

lol... Smooth Hazama!

look, this isn't fun and games HANH!

Sensei tells me that he was trying his best or something but I was highly annoyed. This is the reason why I'm probably not going to using the replay channel so much for team battles because all the fights get separated and it's a pain for me to save all of them and capture it.

At any rate, This guy stayed for a little bit actually. This might have been the third team run and he beat us the first two times. I was testing out Adon the previous times and Sensei stuck with Fei Long. He seemed to just toy with us and that kind of got under my skin.

Each time he would just quite literally throw the first round. Just would backflip and let us beat him but then he would continue to mess around. In one of the matches with Sensei, I think it was actually the match just before mine because I was second in the team that time, he would sit there and Sensei would just not do anything either. LOL. really funny now that I look back at it but it irritated me cuz he wasn't taking us seriously. So that round all they did was taunt and look like they were dancing. Eventually Sensei lost and it was my turn.

I didn't want to bring out Sakura but he was bugging me with all his bullshit. As you could see, he took the first round and actually came out to fight for a little bit. The second round was when the tide of battle turned in my favor and since then I never looked back. He still wanted to play around and just like in every game I play, you don't want to take me lightly. Go for the kill every single time because the moment you let your guard down it's over. I wasn't really focusing on getting a perfect, I just wanted to as Sensei puts it get in "dat azz." It was a definitive win and he left not long after.

there's no easy way out!

So at any rate, this MINI Pez gave me problems. He had an El Fuerte that owned me but didn't fool Sensei. He stuck around for a few matches actually but only to try to beat Sensei. His Juri beat Fei Long once but since then Sensei caught on and streaked him a few times. I lost count but this was the final win from Sensei. The next match was close but MINI Pez got the win and left soon after.

Yeah this is off of a saved replay so that's why you can't see the other fights. Needless to say, Sensei carried the team that night.

don't be so quick to walk away

As stated in the description, this is the first match video of SSFIV I uploaded! I didn't do so well as I was still in the process of finding out Makoto's range as well as the properties of her moves. Sensei on the other hand, didn't share my problem. lol. That Adon threw out way too much shit and tried to just power his way through the match.

well then... let's begin

Yeah, I'm really behind with posting and such. It's pretty demanding to do all this and I don't even know of it's really worth all of the effort. Who am I kidding? It's hard work but I'm proud of what becomes of it.

Blogging explanations is the final step but by the time things finish rendering and uploading, I'm really not in the mood to follow up. lol.

At any rate, my channel will be gearing more towards SSFIV but other matches from other games will be thrown into the mix. It's funny how some of this stuff evolves though. I originally created my YouTube channel just to rally support to get Rage of the Dragons on GGPO. If any of you are familiar with it, please request Rage to be put on there. Since then though, I've managed to pull out some old video capture devices to record other matches, namely Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. This blog was actually to document ragequits but has also risen above such.

Summer is approaching so that means BlazBlue: Continuum Shift season will get underway. TvC and MvC2 are also stuff i want to add as well as some RotD action with Sensei for old times' sake if it's possible and maybe some Garou matches should i feel like going back to that. I'm also looking into a new capture device to further improve video quality. Hopefully i could get it soon.
