I take offense that you called me a beginner/intermediate player, @Infilament. I am an above-average/advanced player, dagnabbit! :rage:

Geek, please, share your thoughts about the set too

Here we go again. Iā€™ll post my short thoughts for now but Iā€™ll expand on it later. Just the key pointers.
@GalacticGeek You are too impatient. Block is an amazing tactic. 2-3 grabs hurt less than eating a full combo. You attempted some fancy stuff. Too much in fact. You couldā€™ve killed once but instead went for shadow payload assault. It is a great move but donā€™t rely on it. Your execution is off as well. You dropped a lot of combos and meaties. Dayv0 went for Shadow Lighting strike a few times(whatever it is called) but it isnā€™t invincible so you couldā€™ve beat it if you meatied properly.

@Dayv0 You did well. You went for the command grab and it worked. You capitalized on it. You used it as what it is. A command grab. Beat blocking opponents but also untechable. Thatā€™s good but it is also more than that. It is a battery command grab. It builds pips for Eyedol. You do not use it though. Same thing for teleport. You used it as a teleport. It is more than that. Use your pips and you will be amazing.

Incoming giant MLA essay tomorrowā€¦

I did. Just now, in your other thread. :wink:

If I got the wrong thread, feel free to let me know and you can transpose it over here, where we can continue the discussion. Either/or works for me.

I knew about the execution. Thatā€™s because I was nervous.

As for blocking, I genuinely do believe my blocks are there, but theyā€™re not fast enough. Iā€™ll see what heā€™s doing and move my fingers for the block, but still get hit (in 1 instance early on, I actually let go, when I didnā€™t mean to do so). I think this is why I often think I did block, but didnā€™t.

I know how to block, but switching the block from between high and low is a weakness of mine, I think, since I get hit with overheads more often then I would like.
