Can't play VF without some arcade sticks! I just want to repeat what I said this morning: awesome weekend, guys! I heard everyone got together today as well.. I'm so sad I had to work!
Time for shoutouts!
Fabrizio: I loved your description of yourself: blue eyes, brown hear, 1,80 m. tall, not thin, but not fat.. You could be anyone, haha! Awesome that you came out all the way from Italy! I felt talking was a bit hard, since you didn't seem to understand English that well, but it was easy to tell you're a great guy. Your Wolf was nice, you are very good at mixing up your moves at the right situations! Only thing you need to do is use some more damaging attacks/throws and work on your defense a little bit (I saw you throwescaping and fuzzying more and more as the weekend went on, very impressive!) and you'll be very strong.
If you're going through with organising a gathering in Italy, let me know, I heard that some of the Dutch guys want to start meeting up more again, so I think we're gonna be more active again. We'll definitely come out in that case!
Send me the recipe for that pasta you were talking about, I want to try it!
Lewis: The only one brave enough to actually try out a Dutch dish at the restaurant, nice (everyone else had steak or something similar.. also nice, but not Dutch Food Nice). I don't remember what it was, but all Dutch dishes are nice, so it doesn't matter!
. Your Sarah has potential! What I noticed though, is that you tend to use high attacks or unsafe mids from flamingo, this is what gets you killed really fast! Also, you need to start using 4k+g as a whiffpunisher, I saw you forcing whiffs from opponents, but your whiffpunishers lacked that "Crap, he really made me pay for whiffing that move! Better not whiff again!" kind of damage. 4k+g should fill that hole nicely!
Thanks for coming over!
Marlon: Eileeeeen! No offense, but playing you really strengthened my thoughts about online being crap! I was secretly amazed at how easy it is to interrupt the flip on reaction.
You have a really nice Eileen, it just seemed like there's a lot of online habits stuck in your game. An example is the flip (although when I looked at you playing other people, it didn't seem like anyone else was interrupting you), but also things like abare-ing too much looked like they hurt your game a bit. I really liked some of the stuff you did though. Especially your ability to duck under high moves (like high string followups) is really impressive
, but I also liked all the Eileen movement jumps, never seen those before and you had some very nice setups with those. I think you are a solid player and with a little more awareness in your game about what to when, you'll be a force to be reckoned with! Also, Kriek is crap
!
Jonas: I was so happy to find out I understand Vanessa a lot better now. In Stockholm, you could k+g me all day long and I'd fall for it every time. Now I ducked and punished it a few times. Also I was just less intimidated by the sheer number of moves that were being thrown at me, haha. Thanks for the comments you gave on my game, you have some nice views that are like more about the big picture instead of focussing on a small part. Thanks for that. Also, when you said I improved noticably, it really made my day
. Hope to play some VF with you again, and if that doesn't happen, I'll just come over for some Tekken or something :P .
Bob: hmm...
Man, you are so consistent! It's like you never miss an input and always handle each situation correctly! You are also so stubborn, when you decide you don't want to get thrown, you just keep doing stuff to avoid my throws.. and I fall for it every time!
. Man, I was so happy when I beat you in a casual first to 5, the first time I ever won a set of matches against you! It was like the ultimate reward for the practice I put into the game the past couple of months (even though I didn't play all that much, I still focused on improving when I did play), so this alone already made the weekend a great success
.
Now to beat you in Tekken.. (something tells me that's gonna take a few more years, hahaha)
To all the Dutch guys coming out to represent our small country: Nice! We should do some more meetings again! Sofiane told me he got excited for the game again after this weekend, I hope this goes for more of you, so we can keep this game alive!
Once again, to all of the foreign people that attended:
Thanks for making the effort, it was an awesome weekend. Let's do this again when R hits... or maybe earlier, hahaha.
PS: Here's some vids
I found out Ake actually recorded an entire first to 5 between me and Bob, which happened to be the one that I won. Since I'm proud of achieving this, I uploaded the entire thing. This is in no way a diss to Bob nor am I saying I'm better than he is, but I am proud of this achievement, so I uploaded it.
