You should post what you're learning from these videos.
Ok, will do. Later tonight I will try and do analysis of the Domo vs. ThatOtherDude match. I am terrible at articulating, so please feel to criticize as much as you like.
EDIT: Well, this one I did pretty fast since I started to watch it again. This is the first match. I need to do some homework so maybe more of my scrubtastic analysis will come tonight.
Domo vs. ThatOtherDude Game 1
0:25 Well, this was a nice crossup by Double but I couldn’t help but wonder why he backed up so much at the start. I know Double you shouldn’t just rushdown, but wouldn’t keeping a closer distance be a little more useful? You had to go in for a cross up anyway.
0:50 The updo by ThatOtherdude seems a little reckless when I keep watching it. Yes, you can punish but Domo saw it before. Domo was in the middle of Double cross thing, it just seemed better if he would have waded it out, maybe pushblock, and regain space.
1:08 Just wanted to say that was a nice use of DHC by Domo. I guess it’s important to remember it’s ok to spend all your bar when you catch to chars. It probably would’ve been safer to Snapback but I guess higher risk higher reward. At that point it’s all about execution, most of the time when I see an assist getting away in a situation like this it’s because of an execution error.
1:15 Poor decision to do updo by Domo. When he saw his assist getting hit I feel he should’ve waited a bit longer and either bait an assist call or wait for maybe a launcher. Now I know it’s due to my scrubbiness, but when that happens to me I wait (usually too long) until I know I can interrupt. Yes, one of chars is getting fucked up but getting another one in there isn’t really better and both might get caught in the combo.
1:18 Don’t know why he(Theotherdude) would attempt to reset. He got two chars in a combo that could result in an evening of the matchup.
1:24 Why call Cerecopter when Domo is so far away (and has hornet bomber still)?
1:30 Well, Domo should’ve waited for the assist before jumping. If Filia tried to start trip him up he could keep in the air and pushblock. After that maybe call Double?
1:52 From my experience car blockbuster is the most punishable thing ever. I don’t know if you can combo off bomber though I don’t know what other options he had.
2:00 Why finish with Gregor? He has the meter for a Diamond blockbuster but, I don’t know I feel he should of saved it.
2:11 Ugh, as a PW I feel you shouldn’t be in the air like that randomly. You know Bella can just Excellbella. Now I still need to implement this in my game and I can’t try it since I don’t have my stick but I think if you throw nails you force Bella to block allowing you to get closer. After that from my experience once you get near somebody even if the start blocking you as long as you keep pressure and maybe armor for an assist you should be good.
What did I learn: Well, I guess first staying too far away from your opponent in the beginning of the match (unless your Peacock, or maybe Parasoul) doesn’t really get you anywhere. Calling assist under pressure shouldn’t be your first resort and preferably against certain chars you should just wade it out. Try to be wary of your opponent calling assist randomly and maybe go baiting whenever you trying to hit when they have that option and there has been significant down time. Resets don’t work when you are already hitting two chars. Sometimes it’s better to be confident in your blocking, even against Filia. Try not use a punishable blockbuster when you don’t have the upper hand unless the opponent is heading in toward you. Be confident enough in execution enough to not try to spend meter when not necessary. I already believe this, but flying around Bella is never a good idea.
God, I sound like an asshole. It’s easy to say stuff after analyzing, not to mention I’m pretty sure 90% of the stuff I said was either gibberish or straight up wrong. Please correct me on anything I said that was scrub talk. If it was everything I said, well if you don’t want to waste time pick the worst offenses.
