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.

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...

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?

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.

Everything Tongari said except the stick deal
