i don't get question 6. Why would you GI that, you risk whiffing if he doesn't do it. Its so unsafe, why not just punish it? That way you don't risk your punishment getting re-GIed.
 
I think the pro thing to do would be to step the second hit and punish with something that hits Kilik regardless of whether he ends the string or if he stops at the second hit.
 
8. What is your throw connection ratio in a best to 5 match?
a. 1-2 a match.
b. 3-4 a match.
c. 4-6 a match.

that one is silly imo, not everyone even needs to use grabs. for a while, i didn't use them at all and did absolutely fine. even now i rarely employ them; i'd think that if you did next to no throws you should be graded higher. :s
 
I didn't take the test, because my ladder rank told me I'm top tier.

G-Sides: Why should you be graded higher for not using a powerful tool? So you should be considered better, because you handicap yourself? Kudos if you feel secure without using throws, but its not a sign of skill or talent or anything.

Question 14 - offmatic knows all the frame data and combos?
 
Nah OFF doesn't know every one. But its nothing serious really,..it's just the basics I think everyone needs to be successful. There is always room for improvement. Wow i got a 2... You could make a character specific test as well, As the game gets old its going to get that much harder to win...
 
Lol this is cute. I got a 4. Some answers were hard to apply tho. Like whiffing is usually bad but I whiff on purpose sometimes.
 
Frame data isn't that important. I don't understand what it is with SC players and their obsession with frame data. Sure its useful, but good players usually have a good feel for what is safe and unsafe without memorizing the actually numbers.

the best thing frame data is for is for determining what is your best punish for blocking X move...and since unsafe moves arn't whored out frame data knowledge is more for beating newer players
 
Asta has the most whiffs every not fair question

You should add some more like...When Sophitia does 11AA instead of 11A[A] I:

A. Always get hit trying to knock her out of the UB
B. Guard at all times
C. Guard it because I can tell when shes going for the UB


When my opponent picks their character I:

A. Try and pick a character to "counter" their character
B. Who cares
C. Start thinking in my heard worse case scenario, if they actually know how to use the character they are dealing with

You grade your self. The test doesn't messure how good you are at the game. You could win all day and still rate bellow 10... over time however these skills will matter. Even for Hilde players if they don't already. Nationals and Evo will represent this... at the very least I hope so.
