What do you mean by "can't even get a sweep"? Sweeps are slow.
Alex's sweep is very slow, but definitely fast enough punish Abigail's rapid punch move, if he were in range that is. The Abigail punch is -16 on block at minimum. But he can throw it out on block from a really far range. So far that a lot of characters furthest reaching normals won't reach. So we have to resort to special moves or a command normal.
I had the worst day I've ever had in SFV yesterday. Got teabagged by a Guile after perfecting him the first round. He proceeded to win the set. It messed me up so bad I couldn't even throw booms anymore. I continued to lose for two hours straight after that. Each loss set me deeper into the salt mines and I even lost to Giefs. I can't remember the last time I lost to Gief.
I've been teabagged many times. Some times I really believe they're doing it because they can't stand my lame Ryu play. But nope, I'll just keep chucking fireballs from mid screen instead of going balls in like what I think they're trying to get me to do. It's not like I have a choice. I may want to play hyper aggressive sometimes. But you really can't do that with Ryu.
Now losing over and over, and to people who I think I shouldn't have lost to is a different story. That will send me spiraling downhill lol. Not that it affects my actual play, just make me more upset and unwilling to stop playing until I feel like I've made up for my past losses(which never happens).
