Everyone knows how to sidestep- move out of the way of those big verticals, or that BB spam, and hit the opponent while they’re open. But do you know how to backstep? The backstep is a powerful tool that enables an instant shift in momentum, a creation of chance from nothingness. Utilizing it properly will put you that much closer to achieving your true strength.
Like clockwork, it's time for another SoulCast! For this episode, I take a look at Pyrrha with guest Xephukai, a player who's had great tournament success, including EVO and the more recent MLG Summer Championship, and whose name I'm sure you've heard a few times.
Also, this episode debuts my new ft5 challenge to all my guests, which I hope serves as a good demonstration of the things we discuss in the podcast, if nothing else. Should be entertaining for you, either way. That's how match vids go, right?
August 24th- Aug. 27th, While America had it's own major tournament (MLG), in Germany, East Brandenburg Open (EBO for short), was also going on. Big names such as Ring, Hyrul, Malek, Pantocrator, daGOTTh, JAG, and others that can be viewed further into the article, were battling it out for the "champion" title of EBO.
With the aftermath proving to be in Ring's favor, I thought I'd catch up with some of the top placers via EBO. As well as posting the results, links towards the videos, and pictures taken by our very own community members all the way from Germany.
Fighting is difficult. You have to worry about mixups, frames, okizeme- the opponent is a thorn in your side, a problem. He has all of these options and you have to compensate for them. What if- you didn’t have to play his game at all? What if you could control the match and only engage the opponent when you wanted to?
There is a way- a very important concept that you may have heard of before. It’s called “spacing”. It is a technique that, when mastered, can make you impossible to hit- an untouchable master of your domain.
So as most of you know, Im on a personal quest to cut all the hippy long hair some of yall got. So after months of giving Juece a hard time about his hair. I threw a scenerio at him....
We play a FT20, If HRD wins, He will prance around in a dress and make a vid of it on youtube. If Juece wins, he shaves his head and makes a vid of it on youtube.
We're back from a little bit of a hiatus (busy schedule, what can I say?), but to make up for it we recorded a pretty lengthy episode this time around. kAb joins me in discussing Natsu, and much like he did for our Tekken podcast, the man came prepared with plenty of notes.
