  1. Heh, let's not jump the gun too soon. Be happy if Zappa is at least mid-tier. :P But from the looks of it, naked Zappa isn't totally helpless anymore, especially if he is dictating the advantage. The stagger on CH far 5S is very helpful to potentially land 3 free orbs. And as an oki game, it appears early far 5S on block has frame adv.! lol, still though, you know what they say about old dogs. I'm not gonna set myself up for disappointment. :P
  2. Turtling is "playing to 'not lose' " as opposed to playing to win. You're basically focusing on good patient defense and/or poking away from the pokes' maximum range, and minimizing mistakes in the least amount possible, which may also open up to your opponent making THEIR own mistakes, essentially making them beat themselves. This all doesn't need to happen in the corner, either. A good turtle will be able to defend well against rushdown, but it's still susceptible to throws if the turtle isn't careful.
