I can respect that motto. I do tend to watch some of you guys match vids. There were just parts in this video that had me questioning:
First off, the parts with Astaroth and all those low attack throw setups, who really gets hit by that low? Even people online can block that. The only time that was understandable was when the Mitsu player got hit with it when he tried to attack. Idk if yall were just practicing your setups on nubs, but that was pretty bad on the victims part. But hey, if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
There was also the part with Mitsu vs Nightmare on the wall level. Mitsu kept doing that unblockable from Relic Stance and Nightmare was just standing there... Don't know what that was about....
There were a few other minor quirks, but those two above are my main issues. If you say they're not setup, then who am I to argue, I was just wondering about those.
So first of all let me explain that Mitsu vs NM part since I'm the Mitsu player and I can explain exacting what happen in the "Mind Game" element.
To understand what is going on, you must understand the threat of relic.
If you watch this video, you will get why the NM player is scare and hesitate to attack when I pressure him with relic.
1) He is scare to do Mid because of relic GI
2) He can't do strong vertical because most of those are Mid and relic B will evade all vertical
3) If you pay attention to the distance I keep, it is at sword tip range, which means his aga will not be able to hit me (relic can evade most high at sword tip range)
4) Any slow attack can be interupt by relic A or relic B
5) Under the above situation, when I'm in relic and I got him scare, he will try to defend and block one of my attacks such as relick K, A, B etc. After blocking an attack from relic, he will be able to punish safely. (This is what he is waiting for, but instead of doing those, I start charging UB... First time I catch him by surpise, second time he try to interupt but got hit by my quick release lvl 1 charge, then the third one was already half charge while he is otg, so if he get up, he will get hit... then the last one he try to go all out and end up getting interupt by relic A.
As for asty slow low attack, he hit my mitsu because I whiff my attack due to his back step. As for other instant, well, all I can say is people do get hit by it once in a while... maybe the Zas simply got scare from the previous match (For example, he keep getting catch by asty low throw and got scare of ducking from the previous round... it does happen somethings)
