Snicker vs. Alpha (4/22/14)

Snicker vs. Alpha

Snicker did well:
-good pressure (hard to really say because Okuu is bad at escaping pressure)
-decent zoning
-sometimes uses delay between SubSun  activation and SubSun bullets to punish Alpha
-sometimes abuses Okuu's lack of airtight pressure

Snicker needs to improve on the following:
-randomly did d.623B on Alpha's wakeup, leaving him extremely vulnerable
-drops a couple of combos that could lead to easy damage/limit
-tried to outmash an Okuu in Typhoon
-doesn't react well to random charged melee
-misses some easily BE-able spots in Alpha's pressure
-misjudges distance when going for j.5C zoning sometimes
-lacks mash-proof blockstrings
-attempted to do setup during SubSun and effectively wasted a card due to getting hit
-inconsistent response to BEs out of pressure---sometimes gets a BE catch, sometimes lets it pass
-sometimes takes a shitton of free damage which puts him at a heavy disadvantage for most of the round
-still ends strings with d.623C without a safe cancel
-wtf just happened, why did you trollwheel  into SubSun at low HP, pls don't full retard

Alpha did well:
-okay/questionable talisman usage
-(unintentionally?) abuses the many free hits he gets on Snicker to assert dominance

Alpha needs to improve on the following
-didn't finish some of his combos
-doesn't abuse charged melee pressure  during SubSun
-attempted to use a non-invulnerable spellcard while on the defensive, which got stuffed
-doesn't punish gaps in Snicker's pressure where he leaves himself open and doesn't have a 'safe' cancel on hand
