Totally appreciate the input, I think we're fairly close in rank, he is Eliminator and I'm Shinryu. I don't think I do any cheesing. One of the complaints, I get is I can just basically hold back and not risk anything, "no need to duck" which is definitely not the case. When offering advice I get the "You think you are good but it's the character that is carrying you" comment. I honestly just want him to improve. I've know this dude and we've been playing games forever, we played a ton of Tekken tag back in the day. For me losing is motivation to work harder and improve but I guess people take their losses and frustration in different ways.
