That's exactly what is so frustrating and boring haha btw imo. :grin:

I agree with Monkey and say tighten up the okizeme or whatever with whatever you dish out effectively. Ky shouldn't get too many VT's in on wakeup haha but I've been there before so I feel ya. Aside from the fact that a well used jackhound can completely fuck you over all over the damn place on the ground, jackhound only adds to the list of why this is a match is in johnny's favor I would say. Personally don't think IAD tatami is safe against Johnny in any situation unless it's full screen but then that would be pointless so...maybe certain distances but spam? no I don't think so. I don't think jackhound is awful against baiken at all but that's just my opinion. At least you reiterated what I said about the matchup. You don't see the frustration from my point of view (of course) but you understand what I meant...so I guess that's important as long as you know where I'm coming from haha.

Actually jackhound would work well vs IAD back tatami on almost every sort of situation, (obviously the further the better), in that case. What makes people think that it wouldn't? Johnny is one of Baiken's worse matchups I would have to say...very frustrating match. Frustrating but not nearly as frustrating as Baiken vs Jam. Watch for openings and counter accordingly and what not I suppose...at least what I try to do anyway but...the hardest thing about Baiken vs Johnny is getting in appropriately imo. I have to disagree and say 6-4 in Ky's favor if the player knows the matchup for the same reasons Johnny is 6-4 in his favor. Ky can out perform Baiken in just about everything strategic wise. Better anti airs, stronger ground game, better wakeup game and every combo is knockdown blah blah blah. Ky can completely and does completely shut down her air game so you can't take to the air too much. Play keep away too much then he can play around with zoning stun edges and wait for Baiken to mess up somewhere. Countering too much will get you in trouble later on in the matches (although running up for a counter can catch most players off guard) and if the Ky knows what he's doing he won't leave many holes for a Baiken to counter through. I have to strongly say that Ky is one hella stupid ass matchup for Baiken when the Ky knows what he is doing.

potemkin isn't that bad a match I don't think haha.

haha alex garvin = I win

How about cleaning up this thread with the matchup information that everyone has contributed? I would like to see it done but if no one wants to do it thats fine too I suppose.

You're the man for the Sharon vids..I needed a sharon vs Pot but the others will be nice to see again. Thanks!

Slightly better....I just baked myself a cake so I feel ok now...

I'm mad all the baiken players on these forums have custom sticks with baiken all over it...

I think the hardest part for me was to re-learn how to manuever around on the stick. I figured out my own way to SJ (I roll 2369 for forward SJ's and the reverse for back SJ's prolly unnecessary but...) and my own way to IAD. I think that is what you should do for yourself. Ask your friendly stick player (your friend hah) how he does the motions and go from there. I only say that because it's what I had to do and the transition took me like 3 weeks. I just started up on stick again and it's much easier this time around. :china: How to hold the stick? That's up to you sexy.
