It's -1 and his fastest normal is 4f so every character can beat it. He has to block unless he has enough to charge an ex flash kick.

The issue isn't just the normal, it's that he can walk up and I have to guess between CC/UDK or grab, and I tend to go for the grab tech. My reactions aren't good enough to reliably punish on startup, so maybe I should just mash jab more lol.

The fact that Guiles upsidedown kick is throw invincible makes him stupidly scary up close. That mixup potential alone is what's killing me, and it's even safe on block.

Your Alex is really tough to zone because your jump timing/spacing and your reactions with headbutts and EX elbows are so good. He's pretty intimidating if he has any room at all to breathe.

That's the secret to Alex though, just get close, knock him down, and win. I just dunno how to approach Guile, since he seems so good up close and full screen.

Ggs. I had to change things up to stand a chance that first set because my usual way of laming Alex out wasn't working on you. Had me a little shook those first couple matches.

Yeah, honestly I need to figure out how to deal with the throw pressure because I tend to lose most long sets because of it. I just don't know what to do though aside from magically developing godlike reactions. I'm starting to think it's better to just never try and tech throws.

I think that's just the inherent bullshit of this game. Generally it is better not to tech the throws unless you have a really solid read because you'll take less damage from the throw, generally. The downside is it usually resets the guessing game.

I think this game could really use something like the SFA rolls...maybe a forward roll on wakeup with f+3P that's fully invincible to strikes and normal throws for a decent number of frames at the cost of a bar of V-Meter, and moves you to about half-screen.

I regularly blow 3 bars out of desperation when trying to close out a tough round. It's a horrid habit but when it pays off the sense of frustration I get from the opponent is palpable.

Agreed, I also hate the wakeup guessing game. I previously suggested that if the player waking up techs a throw, they get frame advantage. That way you risk losing offence momentum if you get teched

Ggs. It's a rough matchup for Urien. Guile wins the fireball war, and they go fairly even in the footsies game. Urien's Aegis doesn't neutralize Guile's fireball game as badly as it does against other characters, either, thanks to Guile's recovery and ability to bait with V-Skill. The only time Urien really has a strong advantage is if Guile is in the corner, so you wanna keep him pinned there as much as possible, mostly with f.MP into overhead/throw mixups. Urien's b.HK is really good in footsies, too, especially against Guile's b.MK.

I think I caught on with the f.MP thing halfway into our sets & the b.HK thing near the end. But yeah, you were able to shut down everything I threw at you. I'm not sure if it was your skill, Urien's bad match-up, or both.

I'd be in favor of slight frame advantage when getting a tech in general, just because of how risky it is in this game.

Well, just won my first (actually second) online tournament, the SF Reddit EU Beginners Tournament which had 11 winners from several other tourneys made throughout the season, like the CPT itself.

It was really fun and I learned a lot in it, I suggest anyone who is new to the game or needs tips to join the Discord here: https://discord.gg/PknK9br

Here's the channel where the tourneys usually are streamed - https://www.twitch.tv/sfdiscord
