General
I definitely need to be the aggressor more. There are a lot of people who are frozen into inactivity and in doing so, giving up free opportunities to attack.
Learning to incorporate dash effectively is also a priority. Since jump timing is a little longer, dashing forward indiscriminately usually means a face full of fireball.
Akuma
Too many people are spamming the Raging Demon (Super and Ultra versions). Dodging this is very easy (just jump out of the way). However, there seems to be some frames of invulnerability on startup. I found this out the hard way when I jumped in with an attack when he was knocked down, and he reversed into this.
Usually, I jump backwards, and that puts you RIGHT next to Akuma when he is recovering. I have to learn to exploit that, as I’m not comboing enough.
Sagat
Definitely becoming more comfortable with comboing from the cr.MK to Tiger Shot. However, frame data suggests that for standing opponents, I should be doing F+HK –> Tiger Knee HK, while for crouching opponents, it would seem cr.MP/MK –> Tiger Knee HK.
I might lean towards cr.MP for crouching opponents just because it feels like it would be easier to execute on a pad and has the same damage profile as MK.
I absolutely love the distance that Sagat puts between himself and his opponent when connecting with his Ultra move. This is in stark contract to Ryu’s which doesn’t do anything to put any distance between you on hit (which can be an issue).
