13:35 it is

13:44 punishing a whiffed Dp with a throw is a bad habit. you could have killed here with a decent punish combo.

17:47 lag spike, wifi

14:05 remember there is a level 3 route with light confirms

I see the MK in play. Keep the faith. Go back and watch, you got some good CH openings with it. Keep drlling those MK confirms, then trust yourself to do it in match. GGs.

She seems like a fun character. I'll be picking her up as well. Don't think she'll be my new main but I'll try her out for sure. Looks like you were right about the buff after the L1. She gets five flame stocks that enhance some of her moves. Very cool!

10:57 a normal DP won't be stuffed by hazanshu because they're all air-invincible on frame 1 (all AA move that are are non-conventional AAs, like bison's psycho crusher, honda headbutt, marisa's dima or gief's lariat which are all only air invincible on the 5th frame onward if memory serves), it's considered airborn and can be anti-aired without spending bar, that and assuming mai's 5MK is -3 and her DP 5f like all the others she would get stuffed by anything below 8 frames however L hazanshu is 23 frames of startup so mai would just win regardless of interactions and move properties here

Jump less. Anti-air more. Stop backing off once you get them in the corner. Learn a better punish than 3xJabs->special

13:02 - nice pressure! 11:34 -- counter DI can drop on netcode at times, but you can check via replay if you were still in recovery or not by just mashing DI after replay takeover. i don't know aki's frame data.

You recognize that you're getting DI'd on your Serpent Lash, so you can see that it's not entirely random.

Drive reversal is - 6. You can punish with standing MP or standing LK. You used crouching MP(8) and standing HK earlier(9). You have a nice punish combo with standing MP, DR, st. mk, st.HK, heel strike... Most of the buttons, moves you use are too slow to be used up close; So they just throw DI, left and right to catch you.

You have got to stop autopiloting pressure and actually react to what your opponent does. That's your biggest flaw right now. Your flowcharting so many things and not actually responding to what is happening in the game.

13:20 at that point you shouldve expected it, they were doing it a lot

7:15 you can most likely punish with a medium button

Fellow A.K.I. player here. I'm in D2 and I still get hit by random DIs too. But when I do it, I get punished hard, haha.

14:10 - Come on, now... look at that moment again... what went wrong there? (Re: "What? I should have been plus there.")

Careful! You're walking yourself into the corner.

When he teleports low just jab. When he teleports high dash backwards.

I curse the day I bought this stupid game

Happy new year.

1:52 - That was a phat Happy New Year 🎉 combo.

Please wake up drive reversal, or just drive reversal in general.

You let the Luke get away with a lot of unsafe nonsense.

7:38. If I remember correctly, cruel fate is -3 there. You can't do crouch LP(4). There is one combo you can do that is simple. There is one move you need to change in the combo you are already doing. When you get a punish counter with standing HK, you do sinister slide, heel strike and sometimes venemous fang... Try cruel fate instead. You're close to diamond.

19:22 go for this one a lot to beat fireballs. 19:44 don't just send it like this, though. Do 2PP when you think they might throw a fireball, then P *only* when they actually start to throw one.

2:41 drive reversal this, you dont have to take it. Also, stay crouched vs Akuma, more so if they spam st HK. Nice comeback before that btw

Nice aki!

You were already playing slow vs the Ed. That actually helps whenever you try to take mental notes of their playstyle. The Ed for example, always grabbed after hitting the target combo, blocked every drive rush attempt and DI when you were kinda close.

The second time he did a drive reversal.

You blocked a DI and not a drive reversal. That’s why you didn’t get pushed back. It’s -6 on block by the way.

6:42 there were more holes in his blockstring than swiss cheese, basically nothing he did aside from the first 5HK was + you could have taken your turn back pretty much anytime

Now you’re playing better. Good job.

The light dragon lash is -4. The medium is -8. The heavy is the only one that is plus.

Here to say that I also play aki and I just got plat 2 :D

All you had to do was wait for Cammy to DI and crush her. You tried to play her game instead of just punishing her for playing that way.

Cammy target combo isn’t safe. It is why she is canceling into DI after it.

People jab out of your jump ins because walking forward takes frames and you delay buttons on landing when you don’t grab.

That Marisa mashed a lot of buttons.

Sinerster Slide into Heel Strike isnt that safe. it -3 on block. its good for wiff punish if u hit it at a distance. up close its can get bad.

4:45 this combo, whats going on?

8:50 yeah annoyingly enough air-invincible moves are only invulnerable to air STRIKES (both sim's and akuma's air FB are coded as special strikes), so air grabs that grab grounded targets like Kim's or cammy's just bypass them

Weak

You had a bad case of the lags

Dunno if you're looking for advice but. Your anti-airs are super on point but I recommend you actually jump less yourself so you can focus on your button usage in neutral more, and make more use of buttons like f hk, 5 mk, and confirming the hp target combo for cammy specifically 6:47 throw your fireball and just wait, you can cancel to ex slide on reaction if she uses level 3. you can totally flip the direction of the set with that knowledge check

You can get mp after DR overhead 6:00

I wouldn’t have rematched after that connection.

His wifi was not stable at all. You should block that one to not meet him again.

👍

You don't use orchid spring anymore!

10:15. You can perfect parry the dive kick.
