Hey guys...
Honest question here. Im looking to level up. I have a lot more to work on. My biggest problem is not maximising my damage output. Im not talking about dropping combos, i very rarely do that. Im talking about converting landed pokes or fans etc into 30% damage.
For example my main opponent offline is a Lao. He believes the character is far from overpowered. Im not complaining, but he seems to be able to convert his poke and pressure into 30-40% combos if i whiff something or block the mix-up wrong.
The fights feel heavily one-sided but upon looking back i think its because i might be missing a lot of opportunities to convert some of my pressure or fans that hit into bigger damage.
And before anyone says to just go watch evo - i have and thats not entirely useful... They're playing at a much higher level and the Lao has respect for SF's kitana. My friend has given me an ass-beating so many times he doesnt respect it so there is almost no neutral game. Its just rush-down the whole time. I do my best to zone and keep him out and i can often take out half his health in a round so its not like im doing nothing, this is why i feel i must be missing opportunities for bigger damage.
TL: DR - What are some ways of converting pokes and fans and other tools into bigger damage short of just constantly poking with 11 or f112 etc and hoping for hits?
