If it's any of the tournament viable characters (i.e. the top tiers) then 1 hit usually means death and positional advantage over the incoming character.

Speedwagon withdraws coolly indeed.

It's technically not a custom unless it's built from scratch.

I see your problem right there.

It basically means that you're forced to play a guessing game with each and every hit. EDIT: I find it funny that Bushido Blade is being mentioned because that game is basically the extreme end of what the FGC enjoys - a guaranteed kill on hit. And even if it didn't kill, the attacker got so...

Yes you can when defense is supposed to happen before you get hit.

Do what the best players of any fighting game do. Practice the basics. True story, during EVO2k12, after hours before the tournament, while everyone else was doing combos in training, teammates Laugh and Infiltration spent the whole time practicing nothing but the basics, movement, basics...

IMO, the whole issue seems to stem from an arbitrary sense of what is "fair." Notice I bolded "arbitrary," because what's really fair in the most concrete sense in a video game is what is allowed in the rules, i.e. the code. In other words, if the code says it's okay for me to hit a guy when...

No, this is Samurai Spirits.

We could go on and on, explaining how the ability to extend and increase damage is earned (and, just as importantly, extends the metagame and allows it to develop beyond what the developers may have foreseen). But it's apparent that you're too set in your scrubby ways to actually listen.

Seriously, who the fuck pretends that they have Samurai Spirits? I know the Japanese MVS cart is rarer than the US SamSho MVS cart, but how do you actually make money by pretending you have a cart that you don't have?

They're only free if you're opponent is free. If the opponent made you work for them, then they're not. Apparently you don't if you think that getting in extended damage is free. Unless you have terrible defense, then then the guy who got in worked his ass off to get those hits. More...

People misuse the term "mind games" way too much. Mind games isn't just high-low mixups, or baiting. Mind games is way more than that. Y'all should read Sirlin's book, specifically the chapters that apply Sun-Tzu's Art Of War to competitive gaming. But if you know what move their going to...

The problem is that Degalon is literally unable of understanding the neutral game and how having a good neutral game means that getting hits in isn't free.

Since when was pretending to own copies of SamSho a thing?

That damage isn't free when the other guy has to earn it, via winning in the neutral game.

You couldn't hold out of stun in DOA1. DOA ++, 2 and 3 made them hard to do, low damaging or prevented the hold in other ways... just like 5. Try harder.

I dare the OP to pick a Shuma/Hsien-Ko/Phoenix Wright team in UMvC3 and go up against a Morrigan/Doom/Akuma team, or to learn Sean in 3rd Strike and go play against a tournament level Chun Li. Divekick has a tier list. We've found that the slight differences between both characters are enough...

Correction, you want to play DOA4, not DOA.

Except the fighting does happen, it happens before you get hit, during the NEUTRAL GAME. The problem here is that every scrub from New York to Hawaii see's only combos and people getting comboed after a hit. What they don't realize that a good fight is all about working to get in (or...
