That's why they call Sodam the king of oki. ;)
The strategy with Xiaoyu's b+2 taking the primary role in Sodam's poke game was interesting. I was worried for the first few videos why Sodam was not using fundamental defense at all, though. Did not really see any setups or anything that I didn't know already on my own, but the over all mindset Sodam had in these matches is something I am going to analyze. Oh, and Rain played good too.
i don't know anything about xiaoyu, but damn that xiaoyu player had some nice mixups/mindgames. and rain............on point as always ^_^
I sometimes use Xiaoyu. If I connect any launcher, even VS back turned, I am going to use f+3,1. Why any Xiaoyu player would use 1,d+2 instead is completely beyond me. But there were many good combos from Sodam. Nothing to write home about though, IMO.
This was an all-out slugfest from the get-go, really. Not much dackdashing at all. Just attack, attack. Lots of df+1's from Steve. Xiaoyu did use stances alot. Not much whiffing from either player. A couple of times, Steve was about 8 points away from getting a KO while comboing Xiaoyu and Steve cut his combo short in favour of OKI when just finishing the combo would have gotten the KO. While doing a combo, I guess you should have one eye on your combo and the other eye on their health meter.
