Greg: On my phone so I don't want to quote you. Putting pressure on your Vega is easier said than done. First, it's an unfamiliar match for a lot of people. And I don't mean like no one knows his moves, but more what can be stuffed, what can be punished, etc. If you get some breathing room, you can df HK which seems like it swallows nearly all my inputs once it's active, you have a variety of reversal and escape options with meter, and some people just haven't figured out what can be punished, stuffed, and what to use to do it. Plus, you switch your style up so much that once someone has one thing downloaded, you add another layer.
I know I'm kind of a scrub, and need to learn to pressure better, but saying "pressure my Vega" and actually doing it are very different. I don't blame anyone for playing defensive. In my experience, there are times when I just don't know what to do. I don't like getting nailed with CH df HKs every time I throw a poke out.
Hope this doesn't sound like complaining. It's not meant to. Just giving you an idea of what's going through one of your opponent's heads when you're busy smashing their face in and sending them to the back of the line in an endless lobby.
