i definitely gotta work on getting my dp down. i can hit consistently in training mode from both sides but in match i spaz lol. i gotta work on that.

man i been sweeping like crazy and get punished hard for it. i never neutral jump so i gotta add that. and i'm definitely guilty of hitting buttons that aren't in range or have a slow start up time.

i definitely gotta put in some time with this game. so many damn game coming out tho lol
