Canada Cup: eLive.Pro|RF

If you guys haven't seen my tournament match against eLive.Pro|RF here's the video:



In the first set I played the match-up correctly. I played patient and pushed him to the corner (as your supposed to in this match-up). Most of my training for this match-up was against John Choi. However, RF was giving me lots of chances to get a life-lead. I took the first set easily.

Canada Cup: Kineda (Terry)

I know it's quite late to post about Canada Cup, but I feel an obligation to finish some of the players left on the list. I won't be doing Bas or Mago since I don't remember what it is I want to write. It's been way too long for me to remember.

Kineda (Terry) had some great advice for me while at Canada Cup. However, it didn't come from him. He said it had come from other top players. Although he didn't mention their names I was able to bug him about what they had said about me.

SCR - AE2012

Still doing lots of training for SCR. Sorry for the lack of posts. I am just focusing on AE2012 since it hasn't been out too long. Just doing some preparing and training for the coming event.

$1 Donations for SCR

After getting paid and paying bills, I've calculated that I'm still going to have trouble with one crucial expense during SCR. That expense is food.

Training for SCR

I haven't been able to post since I've been recently taking time to train for SCR. Check out our stream live this whole week starting at 8PM PST at twitch.tv/XsK_Samurai. We will be streaming SSF4AE and UMVC3.

Stay tuned!

Questions from the Unknown [Part 1]

Unknown said...
On Muttonhead's question- why dont ppl just jump in more on John? It seems like he's GOING to throw a fireball a lot, so why not eat a couple dp's in exchange for a jump in? 

I wanted to point out how good of an idea that was to challenge a person's strength's. It makes me see that I have an ego or competitive side that wants to win. I just realized how much stupid cheap stuff I'll use that I know will hit certain opponents, in casuals. 
I also dont like to wait to play again and dont like to lose when a bunch of people are around. Time to stop caring. Thanks for the post.

@Unknown - There are two things with jumping in at John Choi (or at Ryu in general).

Blog Statistics: Month of November

I cannot express my gratitude to everyone that has helped me get better in the fighting game community. I have also met many great friends through gaming and appreciate all of them. However, this month my thanks must go out to those reading my blog.

From the beginning to the end of November, I was able to get about 4,000 views. That's more than double from what I had got just for one year. Ever since the creation of my new twitter account (@XsK_Samurai), I have been able to reach other people from different countries - as well as my own (United States) - and offer them a source of information.
