HAHA. Although I do feel Marges frustration when playing your Abel, you seem to get away with a lot but I suppose if it works, keep doing it. We will play our set this evening at half 11 if you are around otherwise tomorrow is fine by me. Will watch video later lol, have to shoot for now.

you only showed a few matches out the 8 games. how does that prove you didnt mash? got to show us the whole picture to prove your innocent i think
i am not defending his mashing, since i know for a fact that he mashes dp often, because i play against him enough. but i also know you mash tornado throw quite often as well.

When I get chance I'll upload the all the games, theres over 30mins of gameplay there. Can I save the replays in game and then you can watch them through the replay channel?... yeah I don't mash exTT that much, no where near as much as I'm being accused of doing.
thats a lot of work and waiting for me. cant you get distorted so he can upload the rest for you in hd?
because when playing online, there is lot lag to mess up a combo and block/hit string. so mashing a fast or invulnerable move to going to beat the string, where as in offine situation, your opponent will hear your mashing and the string will be tighter, hence it is much easier to beat or punish these moves.
mashing jab/throw/360 grab/dp whenever opponent is close is a very common and annoying tactics to abuse the lag. these tactic might work once in a while offline but not where as reliable as it appears online.
Lol I told Marge yesterday he mashes more than Adz used to in the past, and he said 'no i don't'.
The ironic thing is, what he sent to elrasho is how i sometimes feel when playing him when he just mashes dp through my hitstrings and blockstrings.
I don't think elrasho mashes out TTs. He does what I do with Gief.

Everyone mashes to a degree. If you keep getting dp'd for example out of strings then leave gaps to bait you opponent and punish hard.
I mash too. Just not through strings unless they keep doing the same thing (eg jab, walk forward, jab, walk forward, etc), if i'm expecting a throw, or if I'm playing vian. I DON'T do it in the hope of hitting them if they happen to drop the combo. It does suck the fun out of the game, if all you're doing is playing a guessing game of 'will he or wont he dp?'.

I swear Abel or really good Akumas are my most hated match ups. I literally cry.
why me?
I starting doing it less and less when you would be crouching blocking, making me look plain silly. I only learnt when it stopped working, plus against the better players I tend to play nowadays (back then it was just you) it never works so I had to faze it out my game and bring in new things.
Not really, is it possible to even mash throw? I dunno but I certainly do more walk up throws and tech more throws then I ever could before, if thats mashing throw when I suspect they will try throw then yeah I suppose I do. The only time I consciously mash dp is when I need chip damage to win and they jump into me.
Exactly, mashing works against very poor opponents but anyone half decent will have it sussed normally in one round. Plus a random or mashed dp at the start of a game will make your opponent more cautious and may take them off there game a bit, being unpredictable is a massive part of this game.

Mashing against good players works too if done rarely. If you show you are capable of sometimes dp'ing through your opponenets strings it puts a little bit of doubt in their head. This can also lead to opponents stopping strings to "bait" you, giving you a break from pressure.
Exactly, its mind games. Nothing wrong with a random or mashed dp to completely catch your opponent out to make them wary, and you can catch the best of them out with it. Then it's funny as you see them stop a string expecting a dp and you are doing nothing, you can sometimes get a free throw in there if you are quick enough.
On the other side of it, I have played loads of players in ranked who just do dp after dp and there is no thought behind it, you simply block and punish hard. If I lost to one of them I wouldn't moan about them mashing dp I'd be fuming at myself for losing!

When you guys mean Mashing do you mean Button mashing. Or Shoruyken and other move mashing?
could be both. button mashing is only effective in sf4 really, since they made jab and throw the dominate close range move. back in st, button mashing is complete useless.
Shoryuken mashing. Lol I think button mashing is for mvc3 and tekken. I stil remember mashing buttons vs vian in mvc and accidentally pulling out a nice combo, vian was impressed lol. I didnt admit to it then.
Lol I saw a vid of tokido vs daigo, tokido started mashing dp, it had a camera on his arcade stick..so funny but shows its a good mind strategy to use now and then.
