And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Capital letters added) Acts 16:30-31
Your casual run up throw, 10:00 you threw the wrong way. Bingo Bango you cornered yourself. You'll wanna build up the casual muscle memory to throw the other way when opponent is cornered.
If you're expecting it, on reaction you can 2K or throw HOS's grand viper after is passes by you, like Psycho Crusher. Esp when you are in Killing Machine recovery and can't do anything but watch/assess anyways.
HOS's fireball hits frame 0, you didn't let go of block. You were not blocking before the flash and you can't switch block after the flash as it's frame0 startup, after the flash.
Pressuring 2P 2P 2D is* OK sometimes as it makes sure the opponent is blocking low and not holding jump or fuzzy jumping out. So don't overly count it out, you still gained intel about your opponent you can act on, when they block your 2P 2P 2P 2D pressure.
Pre-emptive j.P is good vs HOS but the real secret is that it's 8j.P is what's good, not so much 9j.P as if HOS does his own 7j.P he can insight a clash war where we'll lose.
let's goooooooooooo also whew, no yellow johnny 🥲That means i survived enough times and didn't get clipped lol Edit: Also, really good job for your first fighting game!
