A bad session...

So I jumped on before work to play a few matches. And leave somewhat miffed at a series of bad play.

I'll edit this post to give some details of the matches later, but for now, the record:

Match 1: vs. Zangief. In this match, I was doing my best to keep Gief off me with S.RH & keeping him spaced. But it was the times that he DID get in that I paid for dearly, including SPD's on my wakeup because I didn't backdash fast enough. Either that, or he can ACTUALLY grab me out of backdash. I have to check. Lose (0-1)
Match 2: vs. Ryu. I got wasted by some stupid mixups, wasn't reacting fast at all, which caused several Hazan Shus to get tagged by SRK because I did them too late. Lose (0-2)
Match 3: vs. Sagat. Here comes HOPPY MCGEE! I am ashamed that I lost this match against this guy just doing J.RH and random Tiger Knees the entire match, like he just discovered this game after playing HDR for months. Lose (0-3)
Match 4: vs. Fei Long. This was like a mix of the Sagat and Ryu matches from previously, he mixed up well, but was also doing HDR Fei stuff that doesn't work in SF4, but because I wasn't expecting it, it halfway worked enough to cause me enough damage to lose. I didn't lose by much, but it was still frustrating. Lose (0-4)
Match 5: vs. Vega. He really didn't do anything a typical Vega should've, literally only one wall dive the entire match, mostly horizontal wall attacks. The one wall dive he did, I believe I caught with target combo in the air, either that or I threw him. No back jumps to evade my links. Just handed me this match. Win (1-4)
Match 6: vs. Vega. Once again, a lack of wall dive mixups really cost him this match. It was a different guy btw. He threw a few, but then just suddenly forgot he had it. He tagged me with some unexpected backflip kicks on my jumpins, but otherwise, it was a straightforward match. Win (2-4)
