cypheros,
Even though I (mostly) know how to block that Kunai those mixups still blow my mind and your execution is so good but I think there were a few blunders here and there - mostly by me though :/.
Hey Alex,
GGs btw. I think it's fair to say we were fimbling a fair bit in some of those games but your char plays are certainly no walk in the park. You're starting to really read ibuki a lot better now. I really try not to rely on kunai vortex too much especially against players who know what to expect it from it so I really do need to mix it up with a few different things as you said.
So whats the go with Akuma's teleport? Can you OS it or do you just have to keep an eye on what your opponent does and react? I don't teleport 'cause I figure there is one way to chase after spammers so I stick with blocking.
It is OS-able however if a kunai is thrown, is more from a reaction than an option select. Personally I feel that blocking is a lot safer than teleporting unless you play a ibuki that lets you get away with it. I think you're doing the right thing!
Yeah I've recently been trying to get stuck into viper again. I forget how fun she is however with playing ibuki almost full time now, it feels like I need to re-learn all my matchups again

Also ggs to Vladan AU. It was really fun watching both you and alex duel it out with the ryu mirrors. I really have to approach the match-up a bit differently against you Vlads. You do tend to play a very untraditional ryu but it is a very attractive style and I like it. Anyway you both taught me a few things which I need to work on so hope we get to play more soon.
