DON'T TALK BACK TO ME, YOUNG MAN! I YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME WITH A USELESS THOUGHT. NOW GO TAKE A TIME OUT AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
Cuz reads aren't guesses. And you can't read something that doesn't involve thought. My point was that, sometimes during 50/50s, taking the thought out of your decision gives you a better chance of success.
READS ARE GUESSES. THEY ARE JUST MORE GUIDED. THEY ARE BETTER THAN GUESSES, BUT STILL CONTAIN A GUESSING ELEMENT, KINETICFRAUD! NOW, WHO SHOULD I SHOOT FOR REVIVING THIS ANCIENT STATUS?
Like if you're standing up and have to guess between blocking powerful highs and lows (say, you're fighting Maxi or Mitsurugi), if you're able to work out from the player's tendencies and their pattern of behaviour how to block effectively the majority of the time, that would be having a good read on someone. Is that wrong?
"if you're able to work out from the player's tendencies and their pattern of behaviour how to block effectively the majority of the time, that would be having a good read on someone. Is that wrong?" THAT IS PRECISELY CORRECT.
