Match between Vega and Abel. Not sure who these guys are but its a nice intermediate match and showcases some important stuff for this match-up.
Abel handles this match-up pretty well and did pretty much the right thing, which was to keep pressure on Vega. There are a few good things to pick up from this match for Abel's general pressure game as well as what to watch out for versus Vega. The one tool Vega wasn't using much was his st.HK which does a lot to keep Abel away on the ground. You can't focus it and it recovers hell fast so it can be really annoying.
Highlights:
0:28 - Vega go-to defense versus Abel with the backdash. Hard to counter really, his backdash is pretty good. Late cross-ups maybe, or dash if you can read it.
0:30 - Vega does instant jp.HP, a nice trick Vega has as a tool to poke and keep distance or as a surprise finisher (similar to Adon's instant jp.HK).
0:49 - Vega's Splendid Claw used as an anti-cross up. Another trick he has so you'll need to time a safe cross up to avoid this.
0:58 - Abel does a barrage of fwd.MK to light strings. Good pressure tool but can be countered so use sparingly.
1:27 - Abel counters Barcelona Dive with jp.HP. Jp.HK works fine too depending on the angle.
2:00 - cr.LK to EX TT tick throw, Abel's BnB mix-up from a light string.
