Finally came back to write my blog and omg, I never want to see myself lose that bad again lol
For the pool matches, I felt I was at a disadvantage mainly cause of the characters I fought.
I fought an Adon who was great at poking and used his Jaguar Kicks at a great distance. I won 2-1. He used a lot of Jaguar Tooth in the first match but he realized that I punished him every time for it so he stopped using it.
The third match was tough cause I barely did the Hab Dash and he mainly poked so it was tough getting in. Luckily I was able to bait his Jaguar Knee a lot.
Then I fought a Honda. Thank you Figgy and King for playing great Honda's cause I was able to take down this Honda rather convincingly. I far HK his headbutt every time and owned him on wake up. I won 2-0
I fought a Gief who played very defensively so it sucked eating SPD's. Luckily, he kept thinking that Lariat can beat Fuerte's moves...lol it can't
I won 2-0
For some reason I don't remember my next matches.
Then I fought the Dudley on stream. If I was nervous playing before, it didn't match going up on stage and playing in front of everyone. I kept making stupid mistakes and my reactions were horrible. But luckily this kid didn't know the match up so I was able to own him (mainly with spamming Tortilla lol) 2-1
Then came Valle and as you can see, he crushed me. I definitely feel I played well against him but he was just SO GOOD that he demolished me. I'm surprised I took that first round. He has a strong footsie game and can punish everything on reaction. I wish I could fight him again. He was just phenomenal. 0-2
Then I fought the guy from Mexico and his Blanka. I honestly should have won this match. I kept making stupid mistakes cause the Blanka matchup sucks for Fuerte. I botched my Ultra to lose the first match and I should have just switched to Ibuki but I wanted to stick with the Luchador for some reason. 0-2
Basically everything else is as Proto said. The rest of the tournament was SO HYPE. So much better live than watching over the stream. Can't wait for next time when more of DSB is there
