Your five (5) faults as an SFIV player

Originally posted thin in the "Advice" thread but decided that this would be a good exercise for all of us.


List your five biggest faults/failings as an SFIV player (in no particular order).  So without furhter ado, the 5 faults of the D3v.



1. Repetitive - I do love my favorite BnBs and will use them over an over, to my detriment. It's not Sirlin level obsession but I do admit that I find his style attractive.
2. Jumpy - I tend to jump to much to move. Bad habit from Alpha and 3S (used Makoto and loved to use her high priority air moves) 
3. Bad execution - I make Sabin look like Daigo.
4. Panicky - put me in an unfamiliar situation and I'll loose my cool. Lost to a Cammy that way since months of arcade only playing have made me unfamiliar with console characters. 
5. Cocky/careless - When I'm winning, I'll end up doing something stupid that'll cost me the match.



 

I support a new (or remixed) Darkstalkers game!

1. Comboless - I don't bother learning big complicated combos because I feel like I'll just screw them up in a real match so I probably miss out on some free damage in favor of a one-two (or even a one)


2. Jumpy - I'm getting better at this but I can jump too much, especially when going for an empty jump spd or ultra.


3. Execution - Not always what it should be.


4. Aggressive - I sometimes chase when I should wait.


5. Choosey - I lean towards moves/tactics I "like to do" instead of always the ones that work best.

From biggest to smallest


Mental Errors - I know I can't sweep him out of that focus attack, but I'm sure gonna try
Jumpy - Actually wasn't aware of this untill I saw it on tape, but I do jump far too often
Won't maximize damage potential - I know I could (read as should) lengthen my combos and go for Sakura's mixups, but I'm a little scarred to blow it in a real match
Execution - I <3 dropping combos
Panicky - I'm too quick to run to the panic button instead of actually devising a strategy in a desperate situation which often costs me the match.

Good thread.

Zoning - I consider myself to be a horrible "zoner", don't really know what I can do to improve this other than watching tournament matches to take notes.

Focus Absorbing - Maybe I do a little to much of this, I pay for it alot.

Mirror Matches - I choke alot and make mistakes. This mentality certainly does not help either > "IF HE BEATS U THAT MEANZ HEZ BETTER THAN U."

Playing to win - NEVER a good mindset, play for fun and if you win, great!

Last but not least, my biggest vice;

Can't decide on a main - I get bored quick with some characters. I realise if I focus on one character it'll pay off in the longrun but I guess I'm finicky. I cycle through M. Bison, Guile, Akuma, Ryu, Rufus, Seth, Viper, Fei and Rufus on the side...

Faults I have include:-


1. I get board with characters quick... not board but I like playing a lot of different characters.


2. Focus... because of the above i find it hard to focus on one character resulting in me being a jack of all trades and a master of none.


3. I jump in far too much, I really need to work on  my ground game.


4. Bnb combo's... I need to learn them to the point where it comes naturally.


5. Ultra setups...online, I really need to be able to do these all the time ;)

1. Not adaptable when it comes to differences of controllers/ TV lag/ etc.  Though I can use a stick or play in the arcade, I'm only at my best on a PS3 controller.  And PS3 controller holds me back with certain characters.  So in some ways I feel trapped between them.  And when I do play a stick or in the arcade I feel I'm not at my best there either not only because of lack of experience on it but also because I prefer american stick setup.


2. I like my opponent to jump.  Somewhere in the back of my head I'm always expecting and/or waiting for my opponent to jump.  And when they don't it really puts me out of my comfort zone.  Except maybe for Ryu where I've gotten used to it.


3. I like to use a lot of characters which can make me rusty with my mains.


4. I've been working on my grab cancelling, especially online.  This used to be a weakness  but it is quickly becoming a strength.


5. Umm... I like to play other games sometimes and I don't go into training and do combos 100s of times in a row like JWong so I can get rusty?

You guys already mentioned my biggest issues...soo
1. Repetitive - I do love my favorite paterns and will use them over and over, to my detriment.
2. Jumpy - I tend to jump waaay to much to move. Bad habit from Alpha
3. Bad execution - I make Sabin look like Daigo.
4. Bnb combo's... I need to learn them to the point where it comes naturally.

5. Cross ups- I've never had so much problems with them before but I suck at avoiding X-up's in IV
You have a lot to learn before you can beat me...try again kiddo LOLZ

1. I get anxious and charge in recklessly.


2. Not very good at teching throws unless they really telegraph it to me.


3. I depend on crossup mixups to much. I can really get shutdown if someone can block crossups and tech kara throws consistently.


4. Mistime anti-air srks a lot. I usually do them to early and wiff.


5. Lack a solid knowledge of matchups with lesser used characters. Characters like dhalsim and honda can give me trouble.

My  weaknesses are:


 


1.  I main Cammy. 


2.  I rely waaaayyy too much on EX Hooligan throw.  This move works great against noobs but the moment I run into somebody who actually knows what they're doing I usually end up eating an Ultra for trying it.


 


3.  Focus Attack Dash Cancel - I have a really really hard time doing combos that involve this.  I'm hoping that it's due to the fact that I'm using a normal 360 controller on my pc.  I'm getting a stick soon so we'll see if this helps me.


 


4.  Landing Cammy's Ultra....  I simply can't do this against good players.... mostly because of problem #3.  Cannon Spike -> FADC back -> Ultra is pretty much impossible for me to do no matter how much I practice and EX Canon Strike -> Ultra is almost useless as you have to hit so low with it to combo into it that's you're safer off trying something else if it hits.  I do get the Ultra in against the occasional mistake fireball but the opponent really has to make a big mistake for me to land it.


 


5.  Did I mention that I main Cammy?
