P-Ken ?

ya really whats up with terry in this thread??

any ways

its true when epsilon_ says that even if bison and sak are top tier that there good in P.

i think P is one of those grooves that depend very much on reflex and skill. doesnt matter as much about tier as it would in say C or what ever.

P groove depending on reflex and skill… hmm… so what about the other grooves? It kinda sounds like you’re implying that the other grooves don’t depend as much as skill or reflexes. Of course, SKILL is to broad and every groove depends on having SKILL. Reflexes I can understand in P-groove but I think P requires more of a prediction or understanding as to what the opponent will do in certain situations so you can parry and punish. I guess it’s not really a guess but still requires chance parrying with higher statistical probabilities than a guess that the other person will perform a move that you are predicting to parry…

K, I’m getting too crazy with this… Just wanted to say all grooves (well decent players anyway) depend on skill and P-groove doesn’t seem to require more advanced skill than other grooves.

And my opinions is tiers still matter very much in P-groove. Most top P-groove players I see still have Sagat and Cammy as 2 of their 3 rather than 3 mid-tiers.

well i think P is the hardest groove to play because one wrong parry and thats it you know?
but thats just IMO

Woah i was really new back then. P rock!
