So I played TornadoFlame, and his Balrog and Sagat give me a whole lot of trouble because he doesn’t really play like anyone I’ve played before.  I guess I beat his Honda and Akuma pretty handily, but he’s still pretty good.

Played a really sluggish session with Chris while we were both pretty tired, and did okay.  Played today, and was doing pretty well.  My play was very clean.  No stray pokes to catch, very defensive, but still a lot of footsies to keep the opponent at bay.  I guess in that sense, it’s like boxing– the jab is a defensive move to maintain space.  Went up against someone from my friends list and his Seth in the finals of the Championship Mode tournament, and pulled it out at the bottom of the 3rd round.  His Seth was really solid, but relied on whittling me down via block damage, and I used it to my advantage.
