Following on from this post, I just thought I’d let you know how I got on last night – It was spectacular and full of victories.
Sure, I didn’t win every single match, but there were some proper beatings I gave out. Twice I bested some random people who had over 2000 Battle Points – It’s great fun when Dan is there with the thumbs up at the results screen, but seeing 80-90 BP drain from their meter and add on to mine just makes it all the sweeter.
Playing Dan certainly helps me polish up on the basics, as the tools he has at his disposal are not always 100% reliable. I certainly appreciate and have a better understanding of Focus Attacks, backward dashes, forward dashes, wake-up attacks, move priority and whether to throw or not.
Shame vanilla Street Fighter IV doesn’t have proper replays yet, otherwise I would’ve put some up on Youtube. Roll on Super Street Fighter IV!
