man after watching the vid again I also noticed the excess roll toss. To be honest, that's because I didnt get punish for them, and thus develop a bad habit during this session.
aj1701 is fairly new to this matchup and I dont think he knows how punishable and at disadvantage (-3) that I am after a block roll toss. I did mention it to him tho that neutral jump punch beats it if he can bait it. Thanks for the reminder about not using roll that way.
As far as gun cancel into jump goes, now that im thinking about it, iAFs would have eaten me alive for sure and the standing 4 into fan that Crazy Dominican be doing would have gotten me every time as well. I actually learned something during that match, I had no idea Kitana's hurtbox was that low. I whiffed a LOT of jumping punch. I do gun xx JP because the minute gun is out it literally freezes the opp. That's kinda my way to guarantee a somewhat safe jp, but you are right, EN flying butt or EN fan lift would have gotten me...heck char with good AA while crouching would have eaten me alive as well. This is one of the best piece of advice to help me shape my stryker. I will definitely revise that approach in the future.
3:17 LMBO!!! yoooo my daughter was in the way (when I really want to say bothering me, but what kind of father would I be
). You can disregard that section lol, I just hold block so I could take care of her. I'm mad you guys didnt pass that and give me credit that I wouldnt be doing such a thing after landing a gunshot. C'mon block for this long and not do another random roll
, you know something had to be up
. As you can see I try to do a lot of D3 or D4 to avoid blocking the fans.
4:39 - Yeah that was really bad. Not sure why I did that either. I know I tried not to zone too much and tried to get in from time to time, but that wasnt the ideal moment. That's my biggest problem, like
Marcus Vinicius said, I seem lost. It's like im not thinking of my next situation when an advantage or opportunity comes along. It's like im stuck on autopilot for my bad habit or scrub mode at time. Im freaking playing like a chicken with no head
. So yeah I'll revise that as well and try to play more lucid next time.
When it comes to AA gun shot from far away, I'm just too scared to do roll toss to catch the opp because of how unsafe it is on whiff. That's something im going to hit the lab for. I need to get rid of that fear ASAP. I'll keep that in mind as well.
7:18 That's another example of my bad habits. I know I like to do standing 4 mostly because it will beat the low poke if the opponent tries to do so. If I follow up with standing 4 gun xx or baton sweep, I usually eat the low poke, so I tried to do roll toss hoping it will catch the counter poke instead. But you are right, I gotta to stop doing it because I also noticed that I hardly get any success with it... and it's not even that great in terms of cheap damage. I think I will go mostly for D1 after gunshot on hit or D3/throw mixup or D4 xx Gun shens. in my experience, B3 is mostly effective after EN gunshot. Opp sometimes jumps over me, but it's still good if block high.
One thing im happy about though is the fact that I dont mindlessly seat back and spam gunshots. I actually tried to stay at jumping distance or a little further back to anticipate fans or iAFs. that is why I was doing a lot of gun xx into forward dash or back dash to stay in that range. I didnt get to do it all the time but that's one thing I kept in mind during some of the matches. Another thing I didnt like is the fact that I tried to low poke kitana's launcher move from far away (the 2,1 I believe). I got hit every single time and yet I was still doing it.
I definitely appreciate the feedback and im definitely going to work on it. Hopefully the next session I post (if someone actually records it lol), I'll show a much improved stryker
