Finally find a place to train !! Cameraman opening lan/console shop in parklane !!
I will try to level up ^_^


Now is a post of the vega/claw matchup , hope it helps ^_^




Ultra 1 is better for this matchup because you can punish all kind of dives.
I cant really explain how to counterpoke them out of their poking range , experience counts.
**However , 1 very important thing i notice is very has very poor anti-air.
Its either they baited for Gen to jump and air throw , or most of the time they have to block.
**Gen jump is short , so jumping in unpredicably or when vega is focusing on playing footsies is very important.
Dont be afraid to press your button early when jumping ( dont whiff it of cos ) , because its adds diffculty for vega to anti air..
Cosmic heel at the max range or outside of Gen's poke range is very strong tool to punish Gen's footsies , so becareful.
When attacking Vega , never underestimated his ex scarlet terror. Eg. After Gen did jab jab , and tried to delay abit to frame
trap or kara throw or walk forward. If vega EX scarlet terror after blocking few jabs or 2 jabs , it will beat all of Gen's option.
Bait it sometimes , dont waste your chance when you already get in.

**After getting backthrow by Vega , Vega will do a safe jump forward mp most of the time . At this moment ,
Just release your joystick most of the time ( 1f invincibility) and press any button (up to you) , or kara throw or even
jump forward to confuse him.
If the vega is good , he will probably safe jump forward mp and option select slide. So occassionally you can release your
stick and make use of the 1f invincibility to make the mp whiff , then neutral jump to punish his option select.
However , dont ever release your stick if vega does safe jump after forward throw. Its too dangerous to do it.

Thats about all i can think for now , hope it helps ^_^

Back from China trip ..

Day 1 - I reached the tournament arena ,  played abit on the tournament setups and realise the timing was pretty weird , seems to have abit of slight input lag. But well i know i just have to adapt to it , follow up was the friendly tournament of 5v5 . Internationals were in a team which consist of me , poongko , mike ross , combofiend and sako. We fought till the very end and lost in the grand finals against team china team consist of xiaohai , dakou and ah bao. I managed to get 1st win as they send me off first facing a honda  , after i won the honda , xiaohai (small kid) yun came along , it came down to the last pixel of the last game and i lost. After which sako get in and won xiaohai , next team china sent out ah bao(yang) and basically ocv the rest of our team , thats the end and i went back together with the hk guys and head out to eat some really good food, HK people really knows where are the good food ahahhahahaha

Day 2 - Headed to play the tournament , played against followupursf from hk for the first game , had a really tough fight but managed to sneak off a win. Next was yun ... then yun .. then yun again .. LOL .. so my day ended going into the top 16 for the next day , alot of internationals didnt manage to get out of the pools because there were so many yun , yang and feilong lol.. After that went back to the hotel to slack for awhile before heading off with the hk guys to 1 of the clubs to drink , had alot of fun with them , they were very nice.. Gameouttt , Lin lao , sl hiro , kenny and more ....

Recently thanks to my friend yong de , who borrowed me a laptop ^_^
I got alot more free time on the computer ;) So i decide to blog about matchup
knowledge for people to know more about their characters and wat they can do ^_^
Today i will be blogging about 

YUN VS SAGAT

Yun crouching mp beats sagat standing mk , However it only applies when yun is standing outside of sagat standing mk hitbox .. 

Yun crouching lk on reaction allows you to whiff against sagat mk tiger knee..

Yun crouching mk is able to whiff sagat mk tiger knee too , however timing is strict for this , cant react ..

Yun Ex shoulder on reaction against tiger shot is almost impossible ..

Yun standing hk works well against sagat , However applies when yun is out of sagat
footies range , you can also followup with lp lunge punch or Ultra1 in the corner ..

Yun buffering standing mp into shoulder work well against sagat whiff standing hk ..

Yun jump forward mk is short and fast , abuse it occasionally as its hard for sagat to 
uppercut on reaction , gives big reward as well if sagat throws a tiger shot ..

Yun must always anti air against sagat random jump in's , or when sagat tries to jump
out of the corner , keep alert at all times ..




Good Sagat players always uses ex tiger knee to push out of corner ..

Sagat players likes to do kara tiger knee or uppercut to punish yun from full screen 
after throwing tiger shots , Yun's user should prevent jumping forward or dive kick
forward too much to get in , walk slowly ocasionally using FA dash to absorb tiger shots ..

Sagat's Uppercut loses to Yun's EX upkicks and LK upkicks , however trades or win
most of the time with MK and HK upkicks ..


Lastly , Yun players should restrain on using too much dive kicks on Sagat because
good sagat players will start throwing high lp tiger shots to prevent it , Dive kick 
ocasionally and hitting on the lower part of the body is important for frame advantage ..


Yun's Backdash with timing (strict) also allows you to bait Sagat tiger uppercut and
make it whiffs completely thus punishing it , Practice hard on this ^_^




Hope everybody get better with the Sagat matchup ^_^
Cheers :)
