Go for it! I do it all the time. What's frame advantage? Who knows?

LoL.... you're online thinking of doing this now ? You gotta keep with the Times Bro.
Although I can understand why you wouldn't want to..... it developes some real bad habbits and those can stick with you in offline play too

You saying there's another way to play besides attacking from disadvantage? This black magic sorcery.
Brute
You should be attacking from disadvantage quite frequently offline as well.
Brute
The entire neutral game is highly situational. That doesn't change the fact that you'll be attacking from disadvantage often.
Lulu
LoL.... I only do that if the disadvantage is caused by anything other than Blocking a move or Throws/Holds.

Enjoying handicapping yourself.

I always thought attacking from disadvantage is something you shouldn't do. But yeah, screw it. Time to press more buttons xDD

LoL... I have to.... The AI won't punish my moves. :(
@samuraihachi
You thought right.... but this only applies to offline play.

Think about it this way. Assuming you and your opponent have the same poke speeds and for some reason no one is using side-steps or crushes, if you choose to guard or fuzzy every time you are at disadvantage, your opponent will pick up on that and will either throw you with their heaviest throws/OHs or retaliate with a slow attack that has good guard frames or mix-ups since they don't fear being counter-hit.
Brute
Now consider that half the time you're at disadvantage you toss out a moderate-speed low attack. Well, now your opponent will want to avoid using throws, standing OHs, high attacks or any slow mid/lows as there would be a 50/50 chance any of those would fail and lose them that opportunity.
Brute
So by doing practically nothing but stupidly switching between a single attack and a guard, you severely limit your opponent.
In the hypothetical it seems smarter than always going on the defense. In the hypothetical, you are literally attacking from disadvantage half of the time.
