Another thing I noticed is you never J1. I know it can be MU specific but yeah, not a single J1 in 3 games. Not saying its good or bad, just saying I didn't see it used once.

I would only ever use j1 as an air to air, but alot of the time I just use a really early crowbar. J1 has more active frames and is probably the better option, but j3 is a bit safer if the read is wrong and they stay grounded because you'll catch them with it and will be at a slight advantage on block I think, or at least be safe. If the spacing is right, I will go for a j1 on the air to air read, but I think even then it's better to just go for a d2.

Good games Qwark. As one sided as it was, I did learn a lot of things in that short session. :)
GGs, don't bother AAing much online, when I AA its always because 90% of my attention shifts to a jump startup animation, applies to most characters except floaters.

I've yet to make a full transition from my SF4 experience, been playing that game since the first iteration and it's just a natural reaction for me to want to AA :(

After fighting your Bane I had to hop onto training mode to figure out when he crosses up or not, and this IS a match up discussion so let me post it here,

After Bane knocks you down with double punch, his jid3 will cross-up. You can punish this with wake-up flower using reverse input, as in fb2. You cannot punish with d2.
After Bane knocks you down with body press, his jid3 will not cross-up. You cannot punish this with wake-up flower, he will hit you. You can punish this with d2.

At the heat of the moment I couldn't figure out when he was crossing up and every time I tried to wake-up flower, you kept hitting me so I stopped trying after awhile, even against double punch knockdowns.

Hope that helps anyone playing Bane, my apologies if this was common knowledge xD

You uploading the set Qwark? Or did you not record any of it due to battery/storage issues?

I'll only upload with Ron's permission, I don't like uploading stuff without consent, I got about 23 mins of footage.

He's probably not gonna care, but good look.
I wanna see more of your midscreen mannerisms since the crowbar buff. Watching old footage, I keep wondering why you do certain things, then I remember it wasn't worth using outside of mixups at sweep distance... lol.

TBH if you got time to throw out a 24f crowbar you got time to do a J3

Agreed... to a point. But yeah, crowbar has setups and combo potential now, and I don't think it did in any of your footage that I've watched.

If anything it'll help me see what I was doing wrong during those games.

I want to play Qwark in SF4 to see how good he is at that game lol.
