18f isn't reactable sorry. But generally stuff has to do more with the animations, you can have 20+f overheads that are difficult to react to because of the startup not being significantly different from "just standing there" -- see Narukami's overhead. It's generally possible to OS block lows and overheads(which are slower than lows) because the lows are faster, but if the opponent delays their low you're dead.

I actually don't like UNIB either but I'm really hoping they can make a few changes to it that will improve it(in my eyes) and that it gets a US release after that!

Okay well I am free on Sundays and laaaaaaaaate Wednesdays.

The only reason frame traps work is because your opponent is scared of a mixup(or bad/impatient), they're definitely necessary. I don't like to feel like a pressure string serves no purpose. A bunch of +f mids is great, but really without highs or lows, people shouldn't ever technically be getting hit

I want to play edit: how bad would working until midnight est blow this up for me on Wednesday? Sundays I'm generally free.

I don't really know enough GG to comment on Millia exactly, but I don't think GG mixups are any more or less bullshit than Melty/Persona/Marvel mixups. When performed well they aren't reactable, the main difference would be the frequency and risk/reward involved.

If you got knocked down you deserve that 50:50. Star I dunno how much Melty you've played but well executed sandoori is some serious business.

Someone pls bring Melty to the mtng tournament I love Melty

This is true. I more meant for development as a player in general, rather than any specific game. It's of course important to approach your matches with a learning mindset as well and understand the difference between a "netplay tactic" and a real mixup, etc. Practice mode is a pretty useful tool for confirming some of this stuff.

Netplay is a good enough resource to become a strong player.

The most important skill that a lot of mid-level players lack is what I call "deliberation" -- with a good player, practically everything is done for a reason. Most movements, attacks, blockstrings etc. Even if that intention is just to see how your opponent might react. There's a very different sort of feeling between getting hit by a move that was well spaced, and getting hit by a move because the opponent very intentionally put it where you would be jumping. In a sense, that is yomi. Simply pushing your opponent to play the game you want to play. If your opponent isn't aware of this, sometimes it can look like perfect reads, but really they're just being bullied.

Fighting games are about playing weighted odds(when a matchup is known), reading your opponent's pattern, and reacting to various events on the screen -- all in real time.

Honestly? Some people have a talent for it. But it is a learned skill as well. I've been playing fighting games for about 10 years off and on to varying degrees(very casually at first) and I only really started "getting it" a few years ago...

Sometimes you just ~know~

As for you playing like a scumbag, Jackie, that is common knowledge and doesn't need to be said!

I heard there's going to be a really fun tournament Saturday. I heard I'm goin to be there. I heard you're all going to be there and we're getting delicious food afterwards. That's just what I heard.
