Do you guys ever use warm up characters?

I like to muck around with Q/Hugo a bit to loosen up my hands, beef up my defensive game, and watch how strong their offensive play is. Back in the day I would warm up by playing a few rounds of Guilty Gear, then suddenly 3S is practically slow motion in comparison.

I used my secondary once for my first game upon returning to Japan after a year, got destroyed then did a lot better second game when I switched to my main. Don’t think I did poorly because it was my first game, I don’t need warm up games and I was in practice. so, it’s my deficiency in my secondary compared to my main. Japan just brought out how bad I was with my backup and I’ve put in a lot of work in that character. I use nearly only backup characters against americans.

Almost never online. Main all of the time. Offline with my buds I like to play random.

People think I’m trolling when I warm up with Pink Sean but really I’m just practicing basic spacing… and plus, the pink makes him auto god tier so there’s no reason why people should think I’m messing with them.

Yes, but if i do i get lost in the enjoyment of playing the other characters and never play my main.
