Well yeah I don't go in intending to lose to anyone. But I plan on making it through pools without losing a match anyways.
I use my Neutral a little different than most Yukiko players, for better or worse. So I see your point though. I use 5C more than I should and while it catches a lot of people offguard, once people realize that I'm going to do that they know how easy it is to punish that on whiff or block.
Execution is just one part of being a good player but ultimately, it is a muscle memory that the top players will be able to call upon and implement without having to put effort in it so the meta game can be focused on. If you're struggling with inputs and your opponent isn't, you're obviously at a disadvantage.
Tougher inputs should have an appropriate risk/reward ratio but many games fail at getting it right.
Anyone else from TNL gonna be at EVO btw?
I'll be watching..
8 AM pool, so 10 o'clock your time. No idea what the streaming schedule is yet though.
It's not just muscle memory -- it's also being able to judge your positioning and the character you're fighting (but yeah, it is a large part in that). I'm not going to lie, properly carrying to the wall/corner in something like VF, GG or Tekken and hitting a max damage combo is satisfying.Quote:

Some FGs now (like UMvC3, Fate/Unlimited Codes or Under Night In-Birth) go so far with demanding execution for high level play that it may as well be a 1P game and you may as well be playing Beatmania IIDX.
I'll be there, DQing you from your P4A pool for oversleeping. :pQuote:

Well hopefully I'll get a good chance to meet you then Dipstick!
Tell me how to punish that on whiff or block.Quote:

Also sorry we haven't been playing much John, most of my play recently has been offline, most nights I'm doing something of the sort.
I kind of hear that a lot.Quote:

No worries about not playing much. I honestly feel bad playing other people at this game. Meaning I feel bad for them, that they have to play against me. I've been 95% animal crossing lately anyway, though I did turn this on for a bit a few days ago.
