Right, so it finally happened. Big surprise, I got stomped on. Here's a brief recap:
1. Akuma (me) vs Vega (Kalyx) 0 - 3
Match was mad laggy thanks to my brother running 54643578 torrents. Thought I did ok in the first round until Kalyx decided shit was boring and it was time to speed it up. Basically swept me. Also, wtf Capcom, Vega having an airthrow? He has enough moves god damnit.
2. Sagat vs Vega: 0 - 3
Lately (and by lately, I mean since July) I have not been able to get it done with Sagat like Used to. Horribly mistimed everything and got destroyed.
3. Balrog vs Sakura 1 - 3
Yay, no more Vega. Aw, crap it's Sakura. After months of Kalyx going on about my Sakura this and my Sakura that I got to taste it. And does not taste good. He literally shut me down entirely with low weak punches the entire first round. Found a way around it and managed to win my first round of the tourney only, to have him ex shouken, juggle and ultra me to death. It's starting to look real bleak here.
4. Blanka vs Sakura 3 - 1
Uh oh, I've found Kalyx's one character he has "trouble" with... First round goes to me, but only because he's never seen my Blanka before. A nice mix of in your face and tentative, if I do say so myself. Kept getting caught in the god damn focus attack trap this match especially. KALYX COMES BACK AND TAKES TAKES THE NEXT ROUND, I'M LIKE NOOOO, MY SWEEP, MY GLORIOUS SWEEP. Nah, jk I'm actually surprised I took this, because those last 2 rounds were hard fought. Seriously. Round for was a next hit wins deal, and I busted out the best attack of my life and actually made him panic for all of 2 seconds.
5. Bison vs Ken: 0 - 3
This was actually more even than I thought it would be. Lots of back and forth, with me dropping the ball at the end of each round. Fucking hell. At one point in the second round, I was literally owning Kalyx to the point where I had half a bar and he had 1 hit to go. I go in for the kill, and he times the most perfect ultra ever and finishes it right then and there.
Overall, I'd say I'd have done better and probably could have made it 7 matches if:
1. I'd practiced. I'd only played 1 time briefly since fighting G. Damn you, BlazBlue, Prototype and Shadow Complex.
2. I'd fucking taken Ken and Blanka instead ofAkuma and Sagat.
3. I'd settled the fuck down a little more and managed to time throw escapes better. Although lol @ me just casually waking up to Sakura from across the screen with Blanka and just throwing her that 1 time.
