I love this right here. Very informational. But lets get to it:
I'm not gonna lie to you, for some reason I always thought spacing wasn't such a good tool, idk why I just didn't. And to tell the truth, I was one of those "Ugh, turtler! Jeez, learn to fight" guys at one point in time. But what actually showed me how good and useful spacing is was when I decided to use Lisa. My first few days in the game with her I'm really wondering how I can get these moves off without getting interrupted all the time. At first, I got into using her 9k, 3k, BT 9k etc etc, but they always got interrupted and i got CHed. This was really annoying me but then i realized all of these have good reach. Thats when I started backing up with lisa and taking time and spacing so I can use some of these moves (they are effective from range too, especially 9k) that I couldn't use so much up close.
This playstyle that I always lost to and always said was terrible was actually benefit-able for me and helped me improve a lot. When I was being stubborn and thinking "Omg... hate chasing you" I was so determined to hit the person that I threw out stupid stuff and then they would punish me for it. I was so blind to realize that getting impatient and throwing out stupid stuff is exactly what they wanted me to do and I fell for it each time. Now, this style is actually a style I actually enjoy using and its truthfully legit.
