Reviving thread for no raisins whatsoever. The illusion of activity, perhaps. Snapkicks are so easy to counter/dodge/block that I don't see much reason for anyone to whine about their usage. It's an inferior opener, clearly. Slightly off topic, I'm pretty sure that if someone started using the original version of what was called the snapkick, it wouldn't be recognised as a snapkick by anyone anymore. I think nowadays it has a distinct appearance of a kick coming from the side, whereas the older version went forwards, pretty much. Oh god I'm talking about the evolution of moves in a fighting game.
