I'm sure everybody has them. What are your guys worst matchups in all street fighters?

I have two.

One of them is vega. It doesnt matter which game, it could be ST, Alpha, or CVS2. I absoulely HATE playing against Vega and do so poorly against him for some reason. When people pick Vega half the time I just walk away from the machine without even playing, thats how much I suck against him. I dont know why its probably a psycological thing but I just cant play against him to save my life.

My other one is mirror matches. I suck when doing mirror matches and always have a hard time because the way I play I exploit other characters weaknesses and use my character strengths. So most of the time I am at a loss when doing mirror matches. Probably worst mirror match for me would be Hibiki vs Hibiki, I have no idea what to do in this match but swing my sword around.

I seem to have a problem against Akuma in every game except for CvS2, where I can kill him with my fave anti-Shoto, Yamazaki.

mirror matches, I spend all my time playing against other characters but when somebody picks akuma (my fave) I get my ass handed to me because I never train against him so I get caught off guard,but those give me a real rush. second would have to be mokoto and necro just because their moves are so unusual it confuses me

Beer.

Beer rushes me down and owns me for free. I lose horribly to alcohol in general.

And N-Iori.

haha, we're like the same person.

I suck against vega in every game, and also hate mirror matches in every game.

Akuma in any game and Ken and Yun in Third Strike.

Hugo is my absolute worst match-up (I play Alex). Sure, Chun, Ken, Yun, and occassionally Makoto, Ryu, and Oro can give me a hard time too, but there's nothing worse than fighting Hugo. It's like Hugo is designed to completely shut down Alex's game in every way.

Edit: Gill's a bitch too, but I don't play on Xbox Live, so it's all good.

Wave dashing Mishimas in TTT....was never able to fully deal with that.

Steve in T5

Blanka in CvS2

Yeah, Steve's for morons. Bryan too. I can't wait until the next Tekken comes out so I can take my copy of T5 and break it actually. How the heck is Steve going to be able to full wall combo on me (1+2, mash on 1) in the middle of screen off some random spin punch? That thing takes way too much life. Bryan's b+1 move is retarded too. I get comboed if I get hit, I get put into a forced guess if I block, and the range makes the move difficult to even avoid in the first place.

Yeah, I can't stand to these two characters. I got pissed and quit last time actually when I guessed right and blocked Bryan's sweep, but when I went to punish with my launcher (Kaz ws+1) my move completely whiffed. How is he going to be able to do a 50% masher combo on me for the random sweep, while the most guaranteed thing I can get is a ws+4?

I lose to easy tactics and it makes me mad. The worst matchups for me ever.

kcxj: Have you heard of Tekken 5.1 yet? I saw on Zaibatsu that Steve, Nina, and Bryan are getting some fixes. So are all the other characters but theirs are probably the most prominent.

For Bryan's sweep, if you can't punish on block, then try low-parrying it on reaction. See what connects after that.

BTW, it's rumored that Kazuya's WS+2 will be inescapable. That is, you can't get out of the stun.

I also don't do well with mirror matches, but my worst match ups are by far any grapplers. Christ they scare me to death when I play.

I suppose I do worst against grapplers. Though, this is less noticeable offline. Gogo XBLHugos. Jump->720 ahoy!

I play Zangief and Honda in ST and Q in 3S, so I lose to Chun. I also totally suck with mirror matches. I tell ya, Honda vs Honda is the stupidest matchup ever.

I really really really fucking hate C-Hondas, last summer I played this real good C-Honda player, and I hated Honda alot ever since, frustrates the fuck outta me when he uses RC + Turtling.

Hmm, another one would be Balrog [claw] and Zangief in ST only, argh. Oh, also Blanka in CvS2, trip -> electricity chip = too much damage.

And I have absolutely no problem with mirror matches, the only things I fear in a match-up is when I don't know the other character's moves well and don't know how to block/react. And since its a mirror match, I know all the tricks possible with the character since I use him.

Mirror matches don't really affect me.

My hate list:

Todo
Akuma
Chun-Li

And any player that is able to parry like a god.

Todo? WTF?

If someone picks Todo I automatically reset the game cause I assume it was an accident.

Magneto players have an ordinary tendency to get into my head. That is to say, they defeat me with superior execution, and I am left wondering whether they honestly saw through my strategy, or simply "overwhelmed" me.

Ironically, Magneto players irritate me more than Sentinel players.

My worst matchup is me vs. MvC2. I suck so bad at the game. Well, not suck, I just can't execute none of that stuff. So yeah, I lose at the select screen. Hell, I lose at the change machine getting tokens to play.

I can't win against RC Honda ever, you have to design a team just to face him. RC Handslaps recover quickly and chips so do evil RC Headbutt plus if you begin to turtle he has that 360 throw and 720 super and his RC overhead smash. Rolling to avoid Headbutts only delays the inevitable and since I play C-Groove most of the time.:xeye:

Yes I know ways I can counter him but when you get into the situation you feel overpowered and choke. Unless you design a team or use P groove it feels like a waste. Even when I take him down it usually costs 2 of my teamates.:sad:

3rd strike urien. I tend to play with hugo, and while i think i can handle most characters unless the opponenet is simply better than me, urien is too fast and has too much reach, and somehow tends to overwhelm me. i've gotten a lot better against him, but damn it's NEVER easy

blanka in cvs2

and mirror matches. i fuckin hate mirror matches

ditto.

plus all grab characters. ST hawk is my worst nightmare.

OMG, so frickin true, I HATE throw characters, especially in Alpha 3, I play ken, and zangeif OWNZ me ALL the damn time, I could be playing the computer and beating threw everyone like nothing, but then this big jackass comes around and just grabs me to death, I have no type of strategy for people like zangeif or Hawk.

I dont get why people hate mirror matches so bad, it is actually an easier fight because you should know exactly what your opponent is going to do since your probably thinking the same moves too.

thats the thing with mirror matches,its like Im playing against myself in a way, and I like to think Im a fairly competent akuma (3S) player but Im still developing my parry skills to their fullest. so that means all the tricks I know they know etc.

As far as I am concerned, Rogue's dive kick is unblockable. Also, any character in MvC2 that can triangle jump.....

In CvS2, it's Blanka. Yeah, I know how to punish a Blanka Ball with most everyone I use, but the fact remains that I am terrible against Blanka. I just keep walking into shit that I know I shouldn't get hit by. God forbid I try anything after knocking him down, because I'm eating roll-cancel ANYTHING three out of four times.

In 3rd Strike, it's Oro, but only because my asshole friends only ever pick him when I use Q for laughs.
