Okay so I skipped a day or seven, my bad.  Anyways, back to business.  This is a pretty good match from a few years back.  Grand finals of the second Gamers Vision ranbat featuring Aruka and Pierre.  Perhaps the most important lesson from this video is to not underestimate the power of Ibuki.  

Most people, myself included, have never really played a great Ibuki player, and it's a shame because it allows a significantly lower tier character to basically dominate a higher tier character.  Pierre, throughout the match, seems generally lost when it comes to figuring out what to do to counteract Aruka's Ibuki.  Of course, Urien only needs a few hits to balance out about 10 of Ibuki's because she takes damage like a bitch.  Unfortunately it's not enough.

Here's the latest ranking battle from KSK's Gamers Vision in Japan.  Good match between Pierre (UR) and KO (MA). Just wanted to point out at 4:48, Pierre does FP fireball xx LP Aegis to keep KO grounded.  It works and the aegis floats toward him while Pierre continues to apply the pressure.  He does a really good trick I've been using a bit lately. 

More after the jump... 

This is a quick follow-up to yesterday's video.  At 1:02, Pierre does to Knit what Ushi should have done to that Yang guy yesterday.  When Urien is in the corner, has a full meter and launches one of the twins, he should EX headbutt -> early LK tackle to put him in the corner.  Pierre then follows up with a fireball xx Aegis which was the correct thing to do.  Unfortunately Knit was too smart and killed him with a jumping MK(?), so that is something to look out for.  However, I'm sure a lot of non-Knit players would have fallen for it and Pierre would have taken the round.  

Today is a Urien-centric video.  The player is Ushi, who is pretty good, but as you'll notice, makes some critical errors.  What you should be looking at most is how he wastes his meter.  At least two separate times, Ushi burns EX meter doing empty EX headbutts with his opponent nowhere nearby.  If you pay attention, you can see how if he would have had that extra meter at various points during the match, he would have easily been able to throw out more Aegis Reflectors.
