Sophisticat

Hey, I want to sub Valk too, hands off! Actually, now that I look at it, it seem I misinterpreted what Steb said, so nvm on that. And yeah, don't be afraid of going for max damage. I often find myself with loads of stars without noticing because I'm so used to doing 2mag combos. Blow your load if you land a good one, Haku needs to hit like a Mack truck at all times. Also, I actually distinguish four ranges now what with the new perspective change: short, mid, long, and v. long range. Mid would be between 5b and 6c length, and long is around j.C/4c length. Short and v. long is where he's gimped/gets zoned. Biggest problem, I find, is that all his big damage options remain at the short range, with mid being more situational, and god forbid you combo at the long range. However, his effectiveness is now, as I said, at the mid-to-long range. You see what I mean. Or maybe I just can't adapt, which might be the real reason.

Character limit! I hear Steb fears your Haku, though. How's CS he doing for you? :]

Well, his style changed and I think some of his stuff still needs work. CT Haku was low tier, but he was well-rounded. In CS, his space switched to the mid-to-long range, so he lost stuff for close combat, though still gets zoned. Yeah, it's easier to control space now, but his close options got gimped in the process. I also find it harder to get in damage than before since his pressure still sucks, and his changes make it so he has to be more offensive, which I find a bit contrary to his "design" style. So combine the style change with his sucky pressure, and I'm not feeling him as well as before. I do win more, but I don't like him as much. But T11 made me see things a bit differently. You have to play more SF footsies if you want to get in damage, and you can do it really effectively. It's about using hop pressure, tick throws, more Tsubaki overhead, etc. Mix it up more, and you open up a world of hurt for the other guy. I think I'll be posting about it in the Haku forums. :]

Before T11, I'd say I was about ready to drop him. His style changed in a way that wasn't really to my liking, but now I think I just didn't go about it the right way. I posted a bit of my thoughts in MTLers, check it out. No time to write more than this, unfortunately, I gtg. I'll get to it tomorrow or later.

Malheureusement, va falloir reporter nos matchs a plus tard, j'ai un tournoi a aller ce weekend, donc pas de PSN pour un boutte. :\ Oublie pas Isuyaru, hein!! Vos matchs sont trop hype! :3

BladeBro, thought about gunning for modship? You seem to inspire fear in the newbies, which is a coveted aspect among aspiring moderators. At the least, you'd keep them in line.

Haha, la perspective, ca change des que tu entre les vingtaines! 16 ans, meme 19 ans, c'est vraiment jeune. :P Mais ouais, prochain tournoi, je t'en avertie. En tant general, y finissent pas trop tard non plus, a moins que ca se passe chez qqun.

Eh ben, dommage. : \ Minute, mineur? *Cheque l'age* -> *Super bon avec Litchi* -> sti d'kids aujourd'hui sont trop bons. o_O j/k, le vieux. Commence a aller aux tournois quand t'es pret. C'est vraiment le fun, pis tout le monde est ben gentil. Tres rare que tu rencontre qqun vraiment chiant (en ai pas rencontre a date, en fait!). On se vera p-e dans le futur. :P

Ey, salut! Dans le groupe MTLers, on est en train de chercher pour des gars pour un road trip a T11, un tournoi qui se passe a Toronto. On a juste besoin d'une personne de plus pour que les couts soient minimises. Ca couterait quand meme 200+$, on part vendredi matin pour le weekend, pis faut que tu te decide ce soir. Je sais que c'est tres vite comme notice, mais on n'y peut rien. T'es game?

Ok, vas falloir que tu m'explique comment aller contre Mu. J'avais vraiment aucune idee quoi faire la. Ses mix-ups/set-ups sont trop bons pour Haku. GG en tout cas, on se fera plus de matchs. C'est vraiment mon pire matchup après Lambda, on dirais.
