5-1-19: Got to play some Kasual matches online the past couple days working on optimizing combos with stage positioning and doing quite well.  Will keep at it to make sure it’s automatic.  I successfully incorporated d1~tele and d1~death spin to stop hyper counter-poking which is great.  Need to start using d+4 in the same situations … Continue reading "Slips’ MK11 Journal 5-1-19"

The goal of this series is to show how much progression can be made when you focus on improving the little things and don't get caught up in results and negative attitudes. This will most likely benefit myself more than the reader, but it will perhaps give people the perspective on the right attitude to have to reach your goals...and here's to hoping I can maintain that positive attitude as I continue to play lol.
