I'd venture if people have serious issue with some of the bugs then the debate to ban use (from way back when) should return. 2G and the like can't be monitored, but many of the glitches that could heavily impact tournament-level play can be. Perhaps some of the Mitsu buffers and GI->throw could...
Something I put as a reply to that video...
Something about StepG: it will fail to all lows that track since you can't StepG into a low block. Also, almost all single As give +1~2 on block, so someone StepGing will be prone to block into disadvantage - this is different than every SC after in...
For the record, "fuck Necrid" was never an official stance and the pattern of banning characters stood because arcade versions were the default in that era and console exclusive characters represented a disruptive element for the tournament scene build on the arcade's back. In this era, the...
How does that have anything to do with the topic at hand? Knocking a region for under performing should be something motivational... which, frankly, America has been heavily under performing in SCV (compared with SC2, SC4). Knock all you want. But if the rep has been selected, you can't undo it...
Your points have zero to do with the topic at hand. Making it about a French player living in San Diego winning the qualifier is a moot point that you choose to pettily dwell on.
While few people will lobby as hard as I for the spirit of fighting; the event is over. Thus, drawing "sides" only...
Folks... if anything, the SC community has managed a level of class that was slightly better than others. And if anything, we've been more than helpful of our fellows regardless of their country of origin - simple example, NA SC banded together to being DTN to Evo. If your objective is to troll...
So your findings mirror mine. With the way SCV's movement is, this match up seems to favor Asta. jG is a two way street so it is hard to point at it like a match-up level solution. Need broader tools.
Xeph:
I saw your play from a while back, more or less the ideal way Asta should face Maxi (though I've yet to see you versus a Maxi). What struggles do you face from that side?
Kva:
If you're transitioning to or from pokes you will be using A, 2A, 1K, etc to initial or link. Those are the points they will want to use their armor. 4B is i17 so you'd need to be around +4 to apply it without any worry. Not a viable poke so Asta will likely not be trying armor against it...
Uber:
I don't feel "just jG" is a viable solution despite how clearly rewarding it is vs Asta. I can't really detail my feelings there.
I can add some bits I've found.
1. If you provoke armor from 66K BE with 2A you can block before getting hit. This will surprise Asta's using it to stop...
Just my $0.02, SC1 was strongest follow closely by SCV. Cancels and PSL3 made SC2 Maxi the most enjoyable to play; however, SCV's BE combos make him the satisfying.
