I think I caught LPN v Daigo, didn't seem that special. I'll look up the other matches once they're upped though. Thanks!

Heartbreaker for P Viper - he was doing so well getting to his rhythm against Juicebox.


A lot of the fights so far are really solid though - no snoozer basically.

How can they hate on JuiceBox ?
There was a juicebox controversy with the Arizona players. That's part of it basically.

:lol at the commentators saying Abel doesn't have to deal with pressure. He has shitty antiairs, 5 frame startup on most of his jabs/shorts, and his two escapes (ex roll, ex tt), both require meter, and both have the same counter (regular throw).

Yeah one of them clearly really hates Abel. I always thought commentators should be a little unbiased but oh well.

abel comeback factor is such bullshit

Because Viper has no comeback factor herself? :D Also I'd imagine most characters have a "comeback factor" when they hit and ultra and powerful command grab/combo. Vance's 720s against Tatsu were so much worst.

It's ex seismo feint that fucks Abel's mixup game up iirc.

I'd assume that's why Juicebox was doing quite a few neutral jumps. Though I find the Viper match one of the most fun matches to play as Abel and pretty balanced.

Viper recovers in time to fierce knuckle neutral jump.

wait? the real sirlin? i thought he quit
 
It must feel good playing offline again. Daigo was dropping those forward fierce 1 frame links like crazy when he played online yesterday.
