Live for Love


VS. Kusorex.

2025 March 26

I lost my first match, that was a shame. I thought I was doing quite well too! But the Es player got my number pretty fast, and I was cooked. This also gave me the realization that my defense was pretty damn bad, I was really churning my stick for 360 inputs but It just led me to getting Counter hit alot.

I was so close to winning the first set, but they made a really good comeback, then really caught onto my play. I didn't know one of Es' projectiles could nullify mine, that really threw me off.

I'm very inexperienced with the matchups in this game, as I either forgot, or just never fought the character before. It's nice to finally play other people again, cause I can actually take not of whats actually messing me up. There are alot of moves I tried to challenge, only to fail cause I messed up my block/instant block.

I was also not aware of how strong/integral Es' Jumping C attack (below) was, but now that I know that, I can read on how to fight it (as dustloop has a section on how to beat It.) The beauty of Fighting games is the learning.

This match taught me to respect Es' range, and how to approach her in neutral, as her long sword normals really screw me over.

My opponent played really well! They also knew my name was a DJMAX reference which makes them extra cool, I hope we play again!
