Good games. Right now a big weakness of mine dealing with pure rushdown teams (which you loke using). Mostly because I have a hard time dealing with them with Hsein-ko, if you'vew noticed Haggar and Tron usually put up more of a fight against most of the rushdown characters. I've been focusing on that team mostly, so sorry that I didn't switch much. I want to really focus on one main team before trying to learn the quirks of other characters. I couldn't get an opening at all with Dark Phoenix. I needed someone with full screen specials, but 2 of my members are close range (well, Tron is pretty good at closing in, and does have a few nice long ranged normals), so I could never beat Dark Phoenix unless I had X-factor Hsein-ko out to teleport past all the fire you put on the map and try to find an opening to combo into. And that fire sphere she throws out as an assist comes out a lot faster than I thought it would. You have a really nice mixup of fast and slow projectile assists. i was under too much pressure to even consistently do shoryuken motions, so couldn't even get my gong out when I needed to to reflect most of them.
You kept the pressure so tight on me that I couldn't even remember most of the combos I've been practicing. Was a shame because I was only able to pull off a few, and they weren't even the impressive ones. I only managed to do Trons relaunch with the help of Haggar assist once, the rest of the times I couldn't time Haggar's assist right to smash you back down when I popped you off the floor.
Good games, really. I tried putting others into my team to help, but I've been focusing so much on those three that I didn't feel the others would have a chance. I forgot almost everything with Spiderman's rushdown, but I think I'm going to have to try adapting him into one of my reserve teams to combat rushdown teams, because as of right now I have too much of a hard time dealing with them using my current characters.
as for your weaknesses, I'd say the fact that you don't mix up too much. I'm not good enough to punish mistakes I see right a way, so it took me a while, but in corners you like doing an air attack while sending an assist. While that does create pressure, you make it predictable. I'm not fast enough at thinking to call it out until after the adrenalin from the match dies down, but when I think about it, it's something I could have punished you for. When I come down from the air, you usually spam ground pokes for when I land. It was able to catch me a lot, but sometimes I'd know what you were doing and be able to retaliate. This problem was especially true for your X-23, she'd always ground poke around when I was falling.
