Joy's Haehyun is a beast and we've had a fair number of FT7s this year, but tonight is the first time i won one of them 
fairly handily tonight, too. very glad I managed to not get into my own head, which is a frequent problem when i get close to a goal (esp. this one). tbh, i was very not worried because i thought this match win was 6-4 - i was taking a moment and didn't realize it was over until Joy returned to lobby.1
word on stream comms is that Joy is susceptible to "just waiting a bit" so i tried to hold a little more patience in the game. i think the biggest outcome of this was to jump IB the divekick more often instead of trying to push a button against it? jump-blocking makes for a fairly good throw punish. also some fd-braked shinkens that could get punished with a f.s 5H. i actually did a super-far f.s 5H roll RRC dash f.s 2H air combo kinda combo at one point, too. fucked up
nice milestone to hit. xrd has claimed me again but i am still going to bed earlier than last night
