whiffed NJPs baited gets you punished either by full combo, AA or D4 poke pressure. Online NJP is gdlk because EVERYONE jumps :eek:
people jump ALL the time offline too.
go rewatch.... let me know how many crossups happened after a knockdown.... or a poke. those can be NJP'd.... and aren't... for reasons i don't understand or know.

Come On Die Young
  • Revolver is the KING of almost beating a top player. I was so mad, he had it :(
Dude I was like 80-90% confident on beating Death going into the match with my gameplan. When I got to NEC on Friday, I noticed that my dpad was broken and had to borrow Pherleece's for the tournament. Half my fucking inputs weren't coming out. Comeback combo? Nope, standing 4 into nothing. I'm really, really pissed about this after how I've been playing for the past month or so.

Also, as far as Khaotik's match goes, I didn't see him vs Tetra Spirit but Tetra also took me out at ECT. LBSH baraka community, he's your best guy.

• I learned that VSM is still godlike ;_;
• Curbo needs to go back to Cage / Lao
• Tom still looking good
• AU IM DIGIMON hangs with the "top dogs" while he uses Sheeva
• Tyrant is consistently a clutch player
• Insuperable got even better
• My Canadian friends (Zaf, K-Frog, Death, etc.) All did well and we aren't "The Land of the Free" :p
• Sonya mirrors are messed up like most mirrors

That's about it lol.

My blades will find your heart
Believe me, nerves didn't do anything to me. Not being able to jump away from the command grab(For some GODFORSAKEN REASON) did it, but I don't wanna start bitching on anything.
You should of said YOLO and just spinned, would be awesome if he slacked and mistimed the JIP.

You did fine though

  • OVER POWERED BRAIN DEAD KENSHI WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND IN TOP 16 and ALL POCKET KENSHI GOT THEIR BACK BROKEN OUT HARD - So easy to learn yet nowhere to be found. #INTRADESTING..........carry on Kenshi Haters
Because people have blood in their faces, no one wants to play that boring pussy char. ;).

Quan Cheese!!!
During casuals before curbo played reo he was getting really pissed at his xbox pad. Then in button check he seemed really frustrated, but decided to play game one and lost. Then he switched to someone else's xbox pad and still lost game 2 and he seemed really pissed. When he was playing
tom and jumped backwards into the ex slide he kept saying that he jumped forward and not backwards. Anywaya I was upset that I didn't get to play on stream for my first time ever, but it just didn't work out. Nonetheless I now konw what I need to work on for Winter Brawl. I figured out that when I got in with quan I completely dominated all of my opponents except tetra. My only problem was getting in so I really need to work on that. Also quan isn't good enough to cut it as a mono character so I think I'm gonna work on a new character. Who? You'll have to wait to see.

sorry
blackula was far from "blown up"
Blackula did well but he should have won against wafflez and cd jr but chose to AA w 2 and rush down jax w high hit box

He would have solidified top 16 placement or better if he choose to not do one of these

Im upset cause he should have known

You dont AA 2 a character who can do 88%

yeh oddly enough the other characters with strong showings were Kabal, Cyrax, Kitana, and believe it or not Ermac between Zaf, Big D, K-Frog, and 7 (almost beat w1nter warz)
yea to me this tourney was dominated by

kabal (reo) (2)
cyrax (4)
ermac (5)
kit (4)
Sonya (5)?

Honorable mentions:
Jax (2)
(quan) (2)

Characters that im suprised there wasnt more of:

cage
Lao
Kenshi
Freddy
Smoke
Liu Kang
Reptile

Still no Skarlet

Cyraxs command grab isn't like regular throws, you can't block JIP and jump out, if you block JIP you have to tech it.
That command grab is RETARDED, that's all I really have to say about it lol. I swear there is like a smaller window for teching it than normal grabs, or at least that's what it feels like

Well guys, what I learned from NEC is that I can no longer deliver in tournament. The donation drive was a terrible idea, and it makes me feel bad knowing that that money went to waste. Sorry guys.
