Wow, I didn't imagine you guys would be so quick on your responses and I deeply appreciate it! Addressing Fogelstrom notes: It seems that I do like SDD A LOT, and eventually I get people with it and hopefully I can finish a round with it or with its dizzy following up with c.S f.Sx2 Mappa. But yeah, I know what you mean, when against more experienced players they seem to wait for it and punish me, even though I'm not so far behind on frame advantage. I also have some problem on executing IAD properly, which I usually only try in the corner and after a 5HS, most of the times I just get the normal jump and then get punished to it, but yeah I'm trying to improve it. About j.P, never though about it and rarely use it, gotta note that down and try to implement it on my game. I've watched loads of Hase's matches, but man, it's like impossible moving the way he does, lolz. The thing is, almost every time I try to BDC P Dandy I get hit, or end up doing a high jump. Guess I'll have to train execution, right? There's actually three match ups I kinda abuse of it, which are against I-No, Potemkin and Axl, specially against Axl, it's just so good to BDC Mappa on his face after he tries to get you with 5P or 2HS, but yeah, I'll try to use it more. What would you suggest for a better movement? Roughly, based on the footage you've seen. I'm currently implementing bite on my game but sometimes people online just don't respect you that much, so I try to condition them first, same thing with empty Dandies. I can usually bite after a K Dandy on the corner, and then follow up with 2D for knockdown, but like I said, most of the times people don't respect, even though I get them cornered, they usually spam 2P or 2D on me, finishing my advantage. 6P, yeah, I always forget that ploughing move. It just feels so slow, and even though I've got the invincibility from it, I rarely successfully connect it on people. It's like PB to me, a hell of a move, but unlike PB I do think twice before doing it. I'll try to incorporate as well, but would you tell me how or when to use it? Would it be reactional or just when I think they'll dash in? 2HS I usually throw after a 5HS on the corner, to confuse them in case they def standing. Great against Ky, but like 6P, I just forget to use it often. About my oki, I usually got UP IL or UP 2K as you've noticed, today, when trying to throw I got 2p'd the whole time, couldn't do it successfully. Sometimes even I get thrown, if I don't time IL correctly or if they mash throw on wake up. About Helter Skelter, you were completely right. This combo is really better, though if they FD I get so much push back that my moves whiff, with j.D FL sometimes I get a knockdown and even if I get pushed back I can Mappa them. I've been trying Helter Skelter > j.HS, c.S, f.S, 2K, 2D and sometimes HS > j.HS, c.S, f.S, 2K fdc Bite, it has been working wonders, but sometimes I get Blitzed. ;( Anyway, I really appreciate you taking time to read and watch the video and typing those tips for me, It's really important to me and I'll try to follow all of it, just after I get rid of the muscle memory lolz! Thank you very much Foggy! Addressing Daymendou: You are absolutely right, mate! I do play rather carelessly, since I'm still learning and trying things out but I know what you mean. I know some weak spots on my most common match ups which are against Sol, Ky and Sin, sometimes Leo. But you are right on saying that I play the same against every character. Would you mind deepening a little bit for me? You don't have to type, just give me a vid or something to "study" so I'd know where to aim! Would you mind on expanding and explaing why currently Dandy step is a bad habit for me? I just don't see myself using it out of the blue, and if it's really an issue i'd like to correct that. We did play against each other and if I'm not mistaken I got thrashed lolz! Anyways, any tips from you guys shall be warmly welcomed! Thanks for your time, both of you, and I hope to hear from you once again soon! Cheers!

Hello there, folks! It's been a long time since I've posted a video in here, but now it's time. I feel that even though I was unable to play GGXrd for some months, my gameplay now has improved, as well as my strategies, but nothing is ever perfect, is it? So, I'd like opinions from more experienced players such as Daymendou and Fogelstrom, I'd like your critical eye over my strats and routes as Slayer. I know for a fact already some points I'll have to improve, those are things that I've noticed but I hope you guys reinforce, extend or even present me with more options if possible. My flaws for now are: Lack of Dandy YRC Air Throws (difficult as fuck) BDC Bite on wake up Strolling too long in the air using 2K and eventually getting countered Difficulty on pinning down some characters such as Ramlethal and Millia. So, here's me playing for half an hour with some decent euro players like meself. Hope to hear from you, lads! Thanks in advance!

So, thoughts? How do you guys keep up with her IAD stuff, plus how do you escape oki and the lockdown the "notes" produce? I've been having a lot of problems with it, once I can get and start something on her the dmg isnt the problem. So, any defensive ideas?

I don't know exactly how to thank you for this, Daymendou! My gameplay has improved greatly since I've been using your tips, however, it's still a lot for me to chew and digest, It's been really hard to give up that j.S on crossups but I think someday I'll get it over with hahahahha I've implemented j.K on startups and Air-to-air like tou said, I just seem to forget it sometimes, muscle memory I guess. Worked on his Gatlings as well, but there I've ran into another problem, gonna talk about it soon. The biggest problem on doing a full solo, is really my internet connection, I usually play it at 8-10 F delay, and it's reeeeeeaaly hard to link j.P/J.K after j.2K, but then again on offline I have no problem with it. I guess I must really practice it online and try to buffer j.P sooner than I've been doing. Believe me, I always go for the full combo, but could only succesfully complete it about 2 or 3 times. However, I played some online matches on 4F and couldn't pull them off, I guess maybe my reaction time is being a little late... But I'll keep that in mind! I also found less difficulty on getting into range against some caracters due to far dash and super jump followed by j.2K. And a gatling that made my life really easier: 5K > 6HS > P Dandy > UP/2K. This has been amazing, sometimes 6HS hits as a counter and then I just PB instead for insane damage and combo possibilities. Thankyou very much also for the tip on movement, I still need some improvement but I've being walking and dashing much more! Now, I must ask you again about some specifics and see if you guys could help me on what should I do. 1 - Throws - I've found really hard to "know" when to dash in and throw, and what to do to escape throws. 2 - Opponent Mashes 2P or 2K when I'm "dandying" arround. 3 - Being Corner Pressured, most specific about Sol and Ky. 4 - KY. So, Ky and Sols are my most difficult matchups by far. I've compiled a video this weekend of some lobby matches, I'd like you to take a look please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klSzRjegJM0 On the Ky problem, I've met one at arround 35:30 who gave me a really hard time, we must have fought 10 times maybe, and I guess I could win only one match.. ;/ Really need some help on this. Against Sol's is kind of a gamble, really fast reactional crap that I'm not too fast to react, but I'll learn. Ppl, thanks again for the previous comments and also in advance for the following ones! :D

So, insane matches so far by fogelstrom, and nice tips as well. Well, I'm really a less "advanced" player than you guys, and I'd like some more advice on neutral and air openers and close ups, I'm feeling that I'm being far too easy to read, and have no idea how to do things differently. I've been playing for 5 days now, and I can say I've grown much better since my first day online, which was kind of a failiure. The footage I have is far from professional, like you guys, just recording through ps4, and editing it on ps4 as well. Like I said, I know that I stilll have a lot to learn, and would really like some tips on close ups and neutral, but of course, that's just what I think its missing, feel free to give me any other recommendations in order to improve my game. I'd like to say I've already taken some Fogelstrom notes to daymendou, but couldn't apply them very well for now, I guess I just have to play more. I haven't played against really pro people, I've met people who are also getting the hang of things, like me, but I've been beaten horribly by some Ky's, Ramlethal's and Millia's, I'd love some real insight on Ky's fight on the second video, I know I did many wrong things, but I'd like some specifics. Thx in advance, mates! So here follows the vids: Awful 1st day online - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta8yXHCGVPw A week later - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-uMSd4tjAg Ranked on this week against low lvls like me - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBRgM-yqnqk I'll be waiting ppl. Thx again!
