50 tf doesnt give you much room to work with and it makes close quarters fighting pure 50/50 every single time

there isnt a single incoming attack you can reliably defend from and counter because almost always you get put into a bad position and lose in the next turn anyway due to instagib/instant dq/50tf

if you're defending an attack and countering in a mod like boxshu then the opponent is terrible at the game

Can i get this decap? can I save myself after being lifted?
All that matters to me is I'm in a good position and the other guy is in a bad position. If this isn't happening then I just do whatever I can to put the things in their places
I just try random shit, like kicking, lifting etc. and trying to get out of bad places.

im probably the worst person to ask this question because i don't think when i play

i just obsess over how the replay looks in the end win or lose

having a playstyle thats entertaining for people to watch rather than the usual boring playstyle that everyone else has is enough for me ^_^

winning while playing that way just makes it that much better

sure i sacrifice all the toridollars playing the way i do but theres people out there who need it more than me

playing in a way that looks cool so that the noobs in the lobby would see what "high level" looks like and want to play more to learn how to move that way while beating ur opponents, thats all i ever cared about

At mp, i just try to survive most of the time, but sometimes i feel that thing you're talkin', it's like, trying to guess what's gonna do ur opponent next turn, and doing things to catch up his movements, thinking "i know he's gonna move like this cuz -whatever it's tori joints can make from it's position-" and feeling like you're making those movements cuz those worked. It's a bit like listening "eye of the Tiger" and wanting to fight even if u never had fight before
