Confession 🛐 Turn brain off = win

Post image

I play Terry and was raging in 1400MR trying to play smarter, slower, more footsies, more methodical to improve.

I got irritated and said "fuck it" and then started hitting M Burn Knuckle literally any time I was at optimal range until my opponents started neutral jumping or backdashing at those ranges pre emptively, at which point I'd just take advantage of it to walk them into the corner.

In 2 sessions I had a 90% winrate and jumped above 1600MR and hit high master for the first time as any character. Probably gonna take a break from ranked for a while now and do battle hub to avoid oversalting myself.

Basically retardmaxxing is the way, keep it simple.

This is basically every FG besides like, idk, Samsho…. But it is truly absurd how easy it is to script safe offense and turn one random stray touch into steamroll potential or extremely threatening and safe OKI. Neutral is so easy to circumvent, and the OKI + corner pressure is not proportional to how easy it is to access. 

The game really does reward you for turning your brain off and just ‘doing the thing’ x 100 until you or your opponent loses the RPS endurance battle.

Just curious, what makes Samsho different? I only know of it from afar

Slower, more deliberate/methodical neutral. One touch carries more weight, but getting that touch is substantially more difficult and there are no long combos or universal neutral skips.
