what's your position on this ? what do you think ? is it only cheap online ? if i respect my opponent i won't do it , but if they're a bitch and they expect a low as a finisher , a mid is gonna hit them across the face .
 
2k,B JF w/ App is my fave cheap low to win. they expect it to be 1 attack so they drop their guard to eat the BBBBBBBBBBBBBBs
 
I like to start my rounds with cheap lows.

Then put some in the middle of the round if possible.

Then end with cheap lows.
 
Depending on the matchup, I'll use Nighty 1K like every other move, sometimes consecutively.

...And don't even get me started on when I used Cervy, safe 1K with +1 on block?!?! I mean how can you not.

Consecutive 1K/2Ks is stupid, the kicks I'm talking about (and the ones the OP is talking about I'm assuming) being the -14 on block -4 on hit +2 on counterhit and are i15. Consecutive low kicks are interruptible by i19. I love smacking those low kick spammers in the face, as if it actually works ... Also Cervy's 1K is i16, which is unsafe.

That said, the end of the match is the BEST TIME to use one of these chip low kicks. To use them otherwise puts yourself in crouch at -4, but if the hit will kill them, then frames on hit are irrelevant. You are stupid NOT to mixup with a quick safe mid and 2K when they have a sliver of health left.
 
There's no such thing as a cheap low offline in this game. Use what is necessary. Why would you only restrict yourself to High/Mid and hand them frame advantage? SC doesn't have pressure strings/combos like 2D fighters, it's a poke game since you're always handing back the advantage on block (usually). So use lows as often as you can. Offline I spam Ivy's 2A+K (looks like 22K but better) and there's nothing scrub about how I use it. Don't be afraid to win a match entirely off "cheap" lows. Generally they're unsafe and fall in a risk vs reward category so they become balanced the instant they're predictable.

Online is a whole nother beast. Since prediction can only get so far the reward aspect greatly softens the risk factor. In that case it's well advised to only attempt them for CH attempts, TC, and SOME mix ups.
 
Like IFB says, there's no such thing as a cheap low offline. Online, there's lag tactics- but you shouldn't really take online serious enough to call them wins, let alone "cheap wins."

Well of course it's not all I do. Mixing it up with WRK and B+K evades

Besides, your argument is invalid

I play online.
 
3 2k can be putted on offline unless they jump. I got a very angry player that trying gi 3rd 2k(He play Yoshi, I play Seung Mina). Only I just delayed on purposed. Resultate hit with 3rd 2k and knocking him out of round.

And 2k doesn't sound cheap when I am playing with really good connection. I usually have lag in everything. The players I meet don't have lag. Have a good connection. Same rate when I got good connection. 2K, which by indicate if you got countered by mid. Something say you are playing 2k not right.
