As the name implies, this was rough. Had been winning all night and then ran into this guy. After the fifth match the game was so disappointed it bumped me back down to Floor 7.

Zato pressure is a bad time but watching it mote calmly I was very much all over the place.

- Not a single Giganter the entire match
- Failed HARD on fuzzying the standing block on his Dust mixups. I THINK that may be still a result of me still needing more muscle memory on stick
- Gambling way too hard on Hammerfall, which this Zato was too smart for and, thus, it cost me my turn almost every time
- Just couldn't get any Oki going, this was BAD
- And there were at least 3 opportunities where I messed up Heavenly Potemkin Buster:
0:52 One in the first match where I used a Heat Knuckle when I had the meter (also do not understand how that HK didn't hit, what was that gravity?!?!)
4:10 One later on where I botch the input and Slidehead instead (that hurt, but I still won the round)
6:30 And, finally, one where I actually DO the HPB but I think my brain was fried by then. I tried to hard read a jump out of nowhere and there really was no reason for that Zato to jump so..... yeeeaaaahhhhh. Very much deserved what I got

Of all of those I think polishing my Oki and not gambling as hard on Hammerfall are the most important takeaways. I think I got used to zoners panicking when I Hammerfall in and that is breeding a bad habit
