LvL UP!

I lvled up today after getting beaten by chibiaya for the past few days. Chibiaya lvled up this past week when he switched to jacky. Him being one of my sparring partners meant that I had to step up to his new lvl now. I made it my quest to stand toe to toe with him once again. He noticed I had a lot of mistakes in my playing that I didn't even notice was there. I used his input to fix these problems. I found that I have a pretty solid offense it was my defense that was getting me killed but that wasn't anything new to me.

So I was able to start winning becuase I noticed some kinks in chiaiya's game while playing him. He was relying on sidesteps far too much. He was dodging my attacks far too often so it was annoying for me at first. Once I started seeing him do failed evades on the regular I started to just throw him.

I also played into one of jacky's faults as a character. If you evade to his back his followup attack generaly misses you. He was also using moves that weren't really safe if evaded and were linear so I'd evade the attack then use P+K. This sometimes lead to a CH which I'd follow with PK. The Correct combo to use was CHP+K< P+K< PK but I kept not capitalizing on it being a CH. I need to practice using it more because I'm obviously not used to it working.

End of story after having been able to finally step up to chiayia's lvl it's even more fun to play vf5. It becomes een more of a mindgame. It's the next lvl of competition. I can also beat lower lvl people more quicly now tooo.
