Yeah it's one thing I've always told people about your gameplay - you are
very good at adapting to the opponent's rhythm. I even used to joke about
it on commentary and said it's because you played DDR.

Haha, yeah that was brilliant (and really helpful) . One of my biggest
flaws against this style of play ironically is that I'm always adapting to
rhythm in any game (or at least trying) which doesn't help if the rhythm
itself is a form of conditioning. At a high level I've understood that
whiffed button are sometime baits but I didn't realize the degree to which
that can be extended. Next level meta O_o
Your footsies are definitely on that next level-ish :P

His pokes are more effective than yours. He does st.mp buffered into
grab. It catches stray hurtboxes. He even does this on wake-up (which is
actually a bad habit that I exploited to get a crush counter).
The thing with your ground game at the moment LB is that it's still very
one-dimensional so you become very easy to read. If you start poking, I
know that's basically all you're going to do for the next few seconds. You
should actually press buttons with intention rather than just because they
are decent pokes.
I explained a concept related to this to Lumi on Saturday. I called it
"psychological marking", just to distinguish it from other forms of
conditioning.
So for example what I do with Karin is walk back, then forward and press
st.lp (I should actually use buffered st.lk but that's beside the
point). Then I walk back again and press st.lp at the same spot.
This has several purposes:
- whiffing quick moves create visual noise which makes you harder to
read, and makes it harder to twitch react
- it creates a rhythm that the opponent tries to adapt to
- the opponent subconsciously associates the distance between the
characters with the whiffed move (that's the "marker")
So while I'm doing this, I'm also looking for cues about when and how the
opponent is trying to adapt to the spacing and that marker I created. It
usually plays out in two ways:
- They try position themselves for a pre-emptive poke - this is where I
whiff punish
- The visual "noise" causes them to hesitate - this is when I advance and
attack
Now if you use a slower, stronger poke like Karin's st.mk, you're
basically "marking" the horizontal space you control. The only way for
them to beat it (without invincible moves) is to challenge it using
footsies, or to try to jump over it.
Try that next time using R.Mika's st.mk and her st.lk.

yes that would be great.
I saw some individual trends between keegz and mine.
he doesn't use pokes as much and abuses jLK, but he mixes up more with
throws.

That's always been your problem LB. You learn one new thing then you
base your entire strategy around that.
Yes, if you create space between yourself and the opponent it makes it
easier to anti-air them. But that doesn't mean it's an automatic victory.
