Hate Speech: A Formal Introduction

Paragon: I want to engage with this a bit more, but right now it's late, so I'll for the moment defer to Pablo Picasso:

"There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality."

Even a style based around being unconventional can benefit from a deeper understanding of what's expected. If you don't agree, we can always test our separate theories against one another next time you're in NorCal. ;)

There's no disputing that fact. Having a deeper understanding of whats expected being weather the opponent is easily read, or knowing how to properly execute a punish for their attacks could always help. Always. But being that I am only familiar with fighting offline vs Asta, Voldo, and Yoshimitusu I'm left in a very tough spot when it comes to other match ups. It is true that I'll gain experience vs other characters the more I play them, (offline) but until I obtain that experience, if I'm unfamiliar with the match up my primary defense is to make you unfamiliar with my playing style to somewhat boost my advantage. I am less concerned with the opponents offense than I am with my own defense.
 
Nice post. I have three types of thinking for my battles.

Homework thinking: This is what I think about on the drawing board, when I’m not playing the game. These are the answers to problems I come up with before playing. Study my homework, memorize it, go out and apply it. Come back here after a session of playing and assess my current performance. Make tweaks if necessary.

Time out thinking: This is what I think about in between rounds of a match. This is when I review the opponent’s patterns and decide which course of action to take next.

Instinctive thinking: This is what I think about in a split-second. These are conscious decisions made in the present moment of a match, in the hopes of throwing a curve ball or keeping the upper hand.

The most meaningful statement in this article to me is "The Fundamental Rule states that if, at any time while you are playing a match, someone could hypothetically pause the game and ask you why you just made a particular decision, you must be able to offer a clear and reasonable explanation for your choices." -Hates

This makes me laugh. It makes me think of all those times Krayzie would stop playing you and say things like "Man! I dont wanna play this guy anymore!" "Why the fuck would you do that dumb shit!?" ahh good times
