Online fails me for the first time...

Last night me and LordofUltima played a good long session of Street Fighter IV and it was the first time I had faced him and the first time I noticed that the lag really messed up how that game is played. Now I dont know if he tapped the matches but I hope he did cause I want to watch them again to figure out what the hell was going on. 

It started out with me lossing and winning the same amount as he was. Going back and forth between my Gen/Rufus and his Akuma. Now this didnt last for long because then he started learning my patterns faster than I was learning his. Dont get me wrong I know Akuma is a tough match for Rufus and Gen because of there need to get in close and their lack of a fireball or solid way to get in close (also Akuma's teleport didnt help the situation anymore). I started out with Gen but quickly switched over to Rufus just for the fact that I feel like im better with him. Pretty much I knew i needed to get in his face and combo as much as I could. But for some reason after the first 10 or so matches he started being able to grab me right after a dive kick even if i did hit him with it.

Now offline this never would of happened because the stun from the hit would give me enough time to at least get a fierce punch in there but this wasnt the case. Unless i hit him in the toes with the dive kick he could grab me every time. Even he agreed that it was a stupid fact that he could do that. Long story short we ended up at 17-34 in his favor but some of those losses were from me hitting random just to mix it up a bit. Hope he tapped them but if he didnt I would like to do it again soon so that it just wasnt my shitty playing.

Also i was getting pretty mind fucked with his different types of fireballs....god i hate fireballs.
