leveling up your game in FS!

Disclaimer: I am not trying to be the:

Greatest
Of

Trolls

OK!

Here's a chance for everyone with or w/o the player bias attitude to critique players & their characters on their strengths & weakness to level up. Time for the Masters to step up & teach the students the way of Winning!

My Scrub AK would welcome any advice on improving or feedback is welcome. So with that said, Ladies & Gentlemen Reach Out!

 

Ok. Smurf. First you: Everybody knows you are going to abare with that stupid ass one frame knee. You would take less damage if you just fuzzy or eat the fucking throw at this point. Otherwise you will keep getting launched for 75+ pts for the rest of your misbegotten life. Anybody who hasn't leveled up at this point isnt going to. Some of you want to be as good at the Japanese at VF. I told you 6 years ago thats never going to happen. Watch all the Beat tribe cup matches you want. Conversely you can watch all the And-1 videos you want, but little Caucasian kids are not beating urban kids at basketball. That's reality. Now shutty.

 

I can only hope that this would be you someday but at your current level it's going to take a few lifetimes.

 

Yea, me too. Officially encouraging everybody, masters & novices alike, to give feedback on my play, expose gaping holes in my game, share game/matchup knowledge that I might not have etc.
I'm not in the group of people who get butthurt or blowing my top upon any & all feedback, on the contrary it's an opportunity to improve & appreciated. Put me on your feedback-safe-list.

 

I haven't played VF in a few months but when I was playing I noticed I wasn't improving much at all. Honestly I think the only way I get better is by consistently playing players who are way better then me. Sadly there's not too many of the top guys playing that I ran into so I became stuck at a certain skill level. I know everyone improves and levels up differently but for me I think that's the way it goes. I don't even need them to teach me verbally, I can pick up what I need to do just by playing. I wonder who else feels this way.

 

Yes yes you need to play @jimi Claymore & CrazyDrunk. Dude, these two are so good they get invited to both @adamYUKI & @Rodnutz VF steams, that's ELITE!

 

Peeps, I would like to play me. @Mister & @MakiLeSushi, help me out. I know I'm nowhere near the level of NumbNutz AK & could never hope to beat him ever. So be kind & look @ the bigger picture. Until I get my stick modded for the XBL & play Hottness Nelly who's always want's to beat me like a Noob, no one else want's deal with my Scruby Smurf AK, .

 

Actually i m not sure what to say here, u wanna a feedback or support maybe? Our set was good but the transatlantic connexion sucks, i didn t really pay too much attention to ur game i was really focused on my gameplay. But here s a thing i noticed, bro use more, and i mean mooooooooore, ur gb. U don t use it enough, also ur kind of hit throw with 2 choices, idk why u stop it, choose low or mid don t stop it or if u stop be sure what u do next. Last thing find a way to crush bd.
For the rest ur ak is solid, u know ur combos max dmg.
I just got the feelin u didn t play seriously or i m maybe wrong...

 

Thanks @MakiLeSushi for the critique, I will work on those points. If anyone else would like to chip in or confirm, feel free. Especially, @Rodnutz AK & @HotSauceNelly VA since sadly these two actually know me IRL.

 

That's the wrong attitude. You're thinking that you'r never going to be that good. Personally I find greed to be the biggest engine to fuel my will to get better, without that i'll just be happy how i am and never try to improve my game. Now i have no memory of us playing so i don't have any specific critique to point out, maybe we can try to have some match if you're east coast; the only thing i can point out is to do as much research as possible of players that use akira (and he's very popular so that shouldn't be difficult). Next time you watch a match showing akira players, try to ask yourself why are they doing what they are doing, is a combo better than another? why? better oki? better damage? both? being curios and greedy is mandatory imho.
Greedy and Curios and don't give up. Try to find fun in the annoying tasks like labbing in the dojo, or discuss the game with a friend (which you are doing or you won't be posting).

Hope this helps at least a bit.

 

@Mister ...zzz LOL, good luck & keep creedy w/ your Top Tier WO. But one question is your WO better than @Shang? OK, moving along, next please.

 

I'd be happy to provide some feedback but I need to think on it for a moment. For now, I'll just say that you have considerably level up my friend.

 

Wait,......is your Akira is really that bad?

 

Since u ask, I would say that @Mister is the best wolf out of japan, shang got an aggressive wolf as well but technically i think mister is better. But i m talkin about the shang from 2015 / 16, idk if he still plays.
Btw no offense to shang, it s just my opinion

 

@MakiLeSushi would you say @Mister has very good understanding of all WO's moves & it's properties with real Yomi & doesn't play like an Asshole?

 

Play like an asshole? Idk what u re talkin about. Idk what s ur problem with him as well but this guy play fairly...

 

Doesn't play like an Asshole. No Problem here, look I am no different here then I am IRL OK sadly so is Shang, Northern Yellow.

So you don't think certain players play like an Asshole at all. If not that's fine just curious.

 

@kungfusmurf
I'm not going to get into all the technical mumbo jumbo but instead touch on your temperament and overall style as a player.

So....let's see. First thing I would say Smurf-Fu is that you have an element to your game that's like a double edged sword! I'll start by addressing the side that's an asset.

ASSET: Everyone that watches you play or has played you says the same thing...which is that they have NO IDEA what the hell you're going to do next. I don't believe you realize just how strong an attribute that is. You have a certain unpredictability and dare I say even randomness that cannot be taught or learned. You do things that seemingly shouldn't work...yet when YOU do it somehow it works way more often than most of us can anticipate. That's not an accident, that's not luck, that's not chance, that's a SKILL! Since you're the one doing it I'm assuming that to you it doesn't feel like a skill.....might just seem natural and/or normal. However...in my opinion it's a skill and I'm fairly certain that I'm not alone in that thinking.

LIABILITY: There's an inherent death or glory, now or never, make or break, ALL or NOTHING edge that makes you dangerous but at the same time inconsistent and unstable. With your unorthodox and radical style comes a certain level of risk that's much much higher than say.... @Rodnutz style for example. You're the dude who could easily enter a tournament, beat the shit out of several elite players in a 2 out of 3 format only to lose to someone who has only been playing for like 2 months. BRUH! If you could find a way to keep your unpredictability and randomness while also mitigating the level of risk that comes with the SMURF STYLE...we wouldn't know what to do with you. But to be honest I'm not sure if you can separate that level of risk from your style without it changing and becoming something else entirely.
It's a gift and a curse Smurf! Deal with it buddy!

 

@JSM I haven't forgotten your question. I got yours coming soon!

 

Thanks you Sir, working hard on it. By showing my appreciation, I'm going to beat you so badly that you're going to be even better than when you were at your prime & to make sure you don't ever leave me again, alone with these Lazy Flow Charters. Yeah Smurf U @_Denkai_ @Rodnutz & @adamYUKI, yeah I'd said it!
