Ok, mass upload explained.

"That was reallly cool! Stop doing it!" ~ Dan Ryckert, also 2017

Vinny needs to learn when to sidestep and when to block. Also stop using the d pad, this isn't MK.

D Pad for life.

Back in college I'll bet I played this game for an hour or more a day for several years; it was the go-to after dinner ritual for the people in my hall.Watching this game be played between people who have put in hundreds of hours against one another, especially with characters like Xianghua, is such a treat. It's like watching a choreographed dance.

But, yeah, Vinny could do with more sidestepping. Rolling out of the prone state sometimes is important. I think he especially needs to pay attention to positioning. Dan is very much looking for ring outs, and Vinny would be well served by more aggressively defending his position or by at least pivoting away from the edge when he approaches it.

Yeah, it's pretty great.

They recorded a bunch of them in one chunk.

wait dan changed shirts?

Vinny was sidestepping a lot more in the earlier episodes, but that seems to have fallen off as they've played. Since he doesn't know combos and special moves like Dan, mobility is much more important. He'll almost never catch Dan in a nasty combo since the muscle memory isn't there, but Dan is still very much just pushing offense and looking to get rid of each character as quickly as possible. Vinny can make use of that by moving out of the way and focusing more on simple swings and grabs, like he used to.

Some characters are harder to get out of the way of, like Siegfried, but being comfortable with moving would be more beneficial than anything.

Beat Dans smug face. God I want Dan to lose at everything because as soon as he starts winning he's generally unbearable. Vinny, beat him for the good of humanity.

Dan's face changing moment to moment as he's close to the ring's edge and when he switches lmao

Lol Vinny's face omg, so much concentration, love it.
