the point of this thread isn’t to say: you people who guess parry all the time, you suck.
it’s to say: if you want to be a better player, change the way you play. so many people just hop onto ggpo or 2df every day and by the end of the day nothing changes. granted, some people don’t really give a shit about improving. this isn’t directed towards them. figure out why nothing changes. ask questions all the time, to yourself the most.
Exo’s too worried about losing to share secrets online. You’ll have to play with him offline and be really nice to him. Then he might tell you the best way to beat Ken’s cross up or something. Otherwise…you better study hard by yourself. Sometimes you’ll get invited to eat out with him at a Pho restaurant. That’s always fun.
Japanese get enough praise already but still… watch SBO and count how many times you see parry/super/shoryu on wake-up. People abuse the fact that there are no repercussions of losing online to play however they want even if based on nothing but chance.
So I thought of a new idea for a new ‘rage quit yo ass’-ish song
So I’m sittin here alone,Playin’ Third Strike
When this cat guess parries me,Man, whatta Dyke
Wake up SRK,What is he thinkin’?
My online balls are already shrinkin’
For any offense that you’ve used in the past.
Amounts to nothing, when I guess parry yo ass.
It’s a work in progress.
ANYYYYWAYYYYS…guessing what your opponent does or how they’re gonna react to you is apparent in anything competitive. Rock Paper Scissors, Tic Tac Toe, recreational sports, anything. Maybe for 3S it’s the high reward ratio you get for guessing right with a parry. One good parry by your opponent and you’re fucked. But I’ve learned ways to beat guessers. A lot of it just lies in mixups. Knowing your character in and out. Also, try doing moves that hit more than once…people have problems parrying all of that for some reason. Akuma tatsu is a good example of that. But I’ll give you some helpful hints if you’re suffering from guess-itis like Exo.
Good way to beat wakeup parry: Jump in, Nothing, Throw
Good idea to beat Wakeup SRK: Stay out of range and do nothing or anticipate it and block on wakeup. Also…meaty attacks anyone?
Guess strike, that is hilarious. I fucking hate 3S, but even I feel bad when fans of it bicker amongst themselves, questioning why they even bother with the game.
I don’t see what the problem is with a wake up guess parry, just throw them or delay the move if they do it all the time. If they’re not doing it predictably then they’re already playing games with you…
