Preparation Glitch Discussion

Yeah, but dude, a cut-scene literally kicks in - so you can take a breath, calm the fudge down, and do it like you trained your balls off to do over 9000 times.
 
I'll ask again, what's the point? And if it's a worthwhile strategy, why aren't high level players using it?
 
.... Ok

New strategy...

Repeat BACK to me, the reasons I have already given. That might help.

You have already, numerous times, stated that the benefits don't weigh up to the risks for you. Great, thanks, most people probably agree. Thanks again.

Can you just read my posts instead of asking me to repeat myself though?

Jesus CHRIST people why are you debating Zanny? No one is gonna change his mind so just let him 4A+B his way to the top 'k?


In most situations you can easily evade the CE instead with out the risk of eating guard damage or being late and getting fucked in the attempt.....?

He's seriously the only person here who seems to get me. Stop being offended if my tactics don't seem perfect to you. I'll throw out what works, if it seems moot regardless - ignore it. I think we both know the risks involved here, I just choose a different play.

To reiterate / extrapolate:
Stops bogus tracking chances.
Small meter gain.
MASSIVE pressure gain (if they aren't phased by it, power to them.)
Looks exiting - Makes the game more enjoyable for both parties.
Increase in frames for a quick potential readjustment for RO / WS.
 
You do it because for some reason you think that JG messes with opponent's head more than whiff punishment. I get it. And it's not like the benefits don't weigh up the risks FOR ME. It doesn't for everyone, that's a fact, we're all playing the same game.

Nobody's offended. We're on a debate. Try to understand why 99% of Raph players disagree with you and think about it. I don't want to start it all over again, so I'm out. Bojack is right, if your mind can't be changed then it's better to leave you be.

btw, you're very good at evading the point.

*Sigh....

If you are playing in a tournament under intense pressure where making one wrong move can cost you a round or even the championship, doing something like JGing NM's CE is not recommended. Assuming that NM has not gotten a GI with his CE, one would take the opportunity would step it and take the massive free damage as a result of stepping (the safest, best option).

If, however, you are playing online or casually where you will not lose much and just want to experience the "fun", then feel free to JG Dark Reconquista or do anything similar.

Fair enough?

Tournaments measure how effective your playstyle is against experienced players. If you're aiming to be the best Raphael, then tournament matters should be of your concern.
 
I kinda like having fun too. So I thought I'd share some info and talk about a fun move. The last page is arguments over a CE JG, which seems to have more supporters than iPrep itself...

Because people are creatures of habit and those interested in high level fighting games are not interested in learning so many unreliable parlor tricks because if you fuck around in casual play too much it becomes difficult to flip the switch back to proper serious play. So we're naturally skeptical of any one who touts "60% of the time it works everytime" style strats.

I play Pyyrrrrrha on the side against no body D and C rankers online because I don't need my Raph picking up bad play habits. This is why even though not everything is about tournaments that we all post here, it sort of is ALL about tournaments because that's the only play winning really matters in the end is when something is on the line.

It's the same reason you don't see NASCAR driver's doing donuts for defecation and laughter during practice laps, or Kobe trying to pull Harlem Globetrotter stunts.
 
Only just saw your post, Bojack. I can only say one thing to it really;What if, just what if, I'm a Harlem Globetrotter?
 
Nm starts his CE, it would be a shame if i was to JG!!
That player didnt side step! Thats wrong! get em!!

Well thats what I got from reading this..
 
What do you mean ? Stepping gives you an easy 44A+B. What's the best guarnateed after jG?

I wouldn't recommend jG over step, especially to beginners. If you can jG consistently, then you should already know if it is worth it for you or not.
 
If I step NMs CE I'm not going to step back to try and JG it, dude. Why would you even slightly assume that?

I didn't make any reference to jGing after already successful stepping.

"over" = means one decision being more suitable than the other.

We have friend2luck here being decidedly cryptic about his posts. Not even sure if he's trolling or just on-the-fence.
 
Well, I certainly find JGing CEs easier than stepping them on reaction. If I predict it, sure, but if I'm guarding then I have no reason not to try now. Right now I have something like 90% rate online. Offline is even better. A failed JG is a guard most of the time too. I did repeatedly tell people it was worth going for, but so few attempt it to improve.
