Super Street Fighter IV Tournament (Round 5)

[Kalyx triaD]

Any of these matches you wanna watch just ask and we could check out the replays.

Match 1a

Ken (Kalyx) vs Guy (Blitz)

The connection was terrible but we trucked along. After trading wins the connection dropped completely. We would restart afterward.

Match 1b

Ken (Kalyx) vs Guy (Blitz)

With a much better connection we kicked off our series with some heated exchanges. I forgot how apt Blitz was with Guy and he's certainly a much safer fighter now. Even still I took it, but the matches were good - a tone set for the series. Pulled off a sick series of hits in the corner and was proud of myself.

Ken (Kalyx) wins 3-1

Match 2

Chun Li (Kalyx) vs Cammy (Blitz)

This was a step for me and Chun Li's relationship, taking her out to the tournament. Looks like a double date, too, with Blitz bringing Cammy and making me worry I stepped into a bad match-up. I played it safe and avoided giving Blitz free Canon Spikes. I was happy to see his Cammy didn't capitalize on a few of my mistakes. One-two many whiffed specials helped me out, too.

Chun Li (Kalyx) wins 3-1

Match 3

Ken (Kalyx) vs Ibuki (Blitz)

HOT DAMN. This was a tense match. Ibuki was too fast for some of my approaches and I adjusted after Blitz' Ibuki seemed to have my number. After the first match I incorporated more fire balls and Shoryu's to keep the ninja bitch away. Blitz pulled some stunts that had me worried. Highly recommend watching the replay.

Ken (Kalyx) wins 3-2

Match 4

Sakura (Kalyx) vs Guy (Blitz)

Pretty much punishing Guy's whiffed moves and played it safe.

Sakura (Kalyx) wins 3-1

Match 5

Chun Li (Kalyx) vs Ibuki (Blitz)

Swerve. Thinking my Chun Li had the tools to keep Ibuki out, Blitz carefully picks me apart each round. There was a rather of hilarious case of KOcide by Blitz, but he ended up taking the match overall. Very close fight, and Blitz keeps the series alive.

Ibuki (Blitz) wins 2-3

Match 6

Ken (Blitz) vs Sakura (Kalyx)

With Ibuki and Guy used up, I was fairly confident Blitz had no answer for my Sakura. Blitz caught me with more Shoryus then I should have allowed, but EX Senpuu combos ftw.

Sakura (Kalyx) wins 1-3

A very good series. Don't the '3-1's fool you, they were mostly great matches with cool moments and finishes. Blitz is a good Guy and his Ibuki is becoming a bitch.

Yeah fuck, definitely missed input for a Kunai on that KOcide.
