244753, Made it to B Posted by jimaveli, Wed Nov-03-10 12:31 PM
Took out a B Ryu to get it. And it was some old down to the wire stuff..
We both had less than 25% in the third round. Mindgames were rampant. Good match overall. At the same time, I threw a Super (Gouken Forbidden SRK) and he threw a U2 (Ryu - Wannabe SRK). They cancelled each other out. Mindgame, mindgame, Ryu sweep attempt countered by U1 (Gouken Real SRK) for the win.
Still seeing too many Blankas, Balrogs, and Bisons. I got owned by a few heavy throwing and crossing Makoto's too. Where are the Chuns? I play like one a month (and lose).
