What to do with my sons skills

[Altaire]

Wow, that's pretty badass for a nine year old.

From watching the Reptile video, I'd say his only problem is the approach he's using. He should be hanging back and zoning with Reptile wherever he can get away with it, and making you rush in instead. Doing more D4 into acid hand wouldn't hurt, if you can teach him to do that. Other than that, he's actually off to a pretty good start.

Anytime man. It's about having fun and being a self progression. Most people get too caught up in themselves.

Anyways I did have a little bit of advice if you want to share it. Whenever I find people I like to play with, I try to give as much helpful advice as I can, and maybe I'll be lucky to get some in return. If we both get better we both win.

First: Possibly a main (Maybe he does, or maybe he's getting so good he doesn't have to), but in my experience as I am stricken with "altitis" I end up jumping to too many fighters, and never really specialize in one. Since the game came out I "mained" 3/4 of the cast... even sheeva (lol). I just recently (this week) said ENOUGH, and my mains are Shang, Smoke, and Raiden. I try to play just those. (I don't like playing raiden when I'm lagging a lot cause it feels cheap). Maybe if he picked one guy he loved, and played him every other match? He's just soooo good with so many, it's scary to think what he could do if he focuses it all into one guy. Seriously.... ouch!

Cross ups; your son is deadly with them, but it gets predictable. There were a couple times were I just blocked and baited it with a NJP. My suggestion is to do two cross ups and then hit low to stop the counter.

D1, and D3: He's amazing with combos, but when I get close to him he should be pushing me away with D1, and D3. Nothing big but it would get me off of him and give him time to execute a good crossover or combo.

That's all I can think of. He's really really good. I can tell you guys have a ton of fun with this, and I hope you don't let the haters ruin it. Feel free to hit me up anytime and I'll do my best to give any advice I can.

LOL thank you sir.
I pride myself in raising my kids to learn how to laugh and be for the most part, cool and happy kids, just like any other parent should do
Thanks for watching and your support brother.

haha thanks man
also any tips for my still in diapers JC? would appreciated
i have a ton of ground to gain in just 4 days, just since grandma died, i truly havent been able to practice, like i started practicing last night since the 3rd quarter of june

 

[Playpal]

Round 2 part 1 was sick, your kid really knows how to maximize damage.

Just a tip, 2 4 spin whiffs if your back is facing the screen. Try to make sure your chest is facing the screen when you're using 2 4 spin. Alternatively, you can use 2 1 spin, or a naked spin.

Sorry about your loss, family members passing always stinks. Hopefully she had a good long life!

F0xy grampa has some really good JC matches recorded, it's pretty easy to familiarize yourself with the character, honestly. He's not too complicated, but he's a blast to play!

And here's the thread for the stagger strats
http://testyourmight.com/forum/showthread.php?10221-Nut-Punch-Stagger-Strategies

And for his midscreen bnb, you always want to do 2, dash, 2, dash, 2, dash, 44 nut punch. Online you have to resort to 11, dash, 11, dash, 44 nut punch though since online blows! Even then, occasionally I can't land that online!

End all your pressure strings which connect into a nut punch, if they don't connect, throw!

I keep that page bookmarked because REO's johnny cage is one of the most dominating I've ever seen (although part of it may be because his opponents weren't too familiar with the matchup).

Truly awesome brother, thanks.
I picked up JC like 2 dayes before she when into the hospital, and since then, am stuck in what i learned in two days lol
Ill have to practice that 2 dash instead of the 11, like you said, online blows lol

and sadly she was only 54 when she passed, but she lived life to the fullest, as evident by the 1000 plus people that whent to her funeral.
so its been hard, but things are kinda normalizing as of late
thanks again brother

opposing stances, not specifically when the back is facing the screen. Only if he's face forward and lao is back or vice versa

 

[EndofGameBoss]

I take it someone complained about a kid playing a mature game? When I was a in elementary school I played the MK trilogy. 1 of my favorite things do to as a kid was go to wal-mart believe it or not, simply because they had a mk cabinet lol. I would get crushed by the older kids, but it was so much fun.
