Of course. 2A the god always saves the day. How did I not see that coming?

Just know that mashing jab is a viable strategy when the opponent constantly leaves holes in their pressure and never tries to frame trap. The Japanese do it, LK does it, etc. Ask Errol, he's not gonna sit there and let me pressure him for days, he'll mash jab and it will knock me out of Swallow Moon. Then I have to worry about frame trapping him and that gives him a chance to DP. Now I have to watch out for his DP or his mashing.

Give me stuff to worry about, just DP'ing your way out will not always work.

It basically boils down to that I would rather take a chance than to just block until I take damage.. and mashing a jab has higher rewards, and recovers much quicker than DPs so it's not as risky to put out, at times. You get paid even if your opponent is blocking.. of course there's no reason they'd be blocking unless you're also DP'ing. I mash at places where I think there is going to be a gap. It doesn't always work out. But to hell with trying to block Platinum's assortment of instant overheads.

Exactly, instead of trying to guess block, try mashing out. It's not guaranteed but at least you're rewarded for your mashing as opposed to just eating damage for your guess blocking.

GGs Errol and D_E. I got so much Tsubaki match-up experience today. And you are the second Ragna I've played against who canceled out spike chaser with dead spike D_E. That was cool.

Yeah it's pretty useful cause it lets him stay on the ground rather than dealing with crossunders and whatnot. Still isn't enough cause I pretty much end up still blocking all day. GGs to you and Errol.

Sorry about bailing on you SaxPlaya. There was a family emergency and then we just had some people from GE take an old fridge from our house. Thanks for the early matches though.
