Are you a counterfag or a defensefag? Do you prefer to counter your opponent or play defensively?
>>337716596
I play Zangief. So I'm a "chase after people while taking a horrendous amount of chip damage until I die from my own frustration because the character is shit" guy.
If you're not playing yolo offense in 3S you're not doing it right.
>>337716689
You could be the "I move constantly because I'm literally playing a beatemup when I choose this character so if you whiff prepare to lose 30% of your health" guy.
i play offensively
i wish fighting games didn't reward playing defensively so much
>>337716970
Name 3 fighting games that are 100% offensive.
>you now get called a fag for following a strategy
Fuck off, OP, you 09er piece of shit.
>>337717082
It's not my fault I was forced to "git gud."
>>337716596
Depends.
I normally play souls games, so I'll do countering if they can hammer down my defense. Otherwise I prefer to simply defend in my games as it's more consistent.
>>337717261
Normally I prefer to play one-hundred percent offensively in any video game. In Halo , I like to throw grenades and items right at the enemy instead of drawing him in, I never secure perimeters, I just go forward.
But after playing TF2, my style has changed so much.
I've always been pretty good at blocking, so lately I've been working on my counters and it's really paying off. I still get caught in frame traps a lot though.
>>337716596
I try to attack whenever possible. I wish I could parry better in 3rd Strike, but it's really difficult. It blows my mind how well some peole can parry in this game. Playing with a 360 d-pad also doesn't help much.
>>337717757
I like to counter now in fighters. Especially 3rd Strike. In Marvel and DOA5LR I have a huge counter hit ratio. I don't know if DOA5LR actually records it, but the amount of high counters I get compared to basic string combos is ridiculous.
>>337717036
Guilty Gear, Darkstalkers, and Rival Schools are all extremely offense based.
>>337716596
I play Guile soboth
>>337716873
More reasons to not play 3S.
>>337718049
ayy lmao, I didn't think you'd actually name three.
GGXX is kind of defensive if you ask me, so I'd replace Guilty Gear with The Last Blade 2, but still a good list.
>>337718080
But Guile's biggest weakess is his defensive capability, how do you play a character like that defensively?
>>337718192
>how do you play a character like that defensively?
With a charge character you basically play defensively the whole time, since you constantly press backwards to charge.
>>337718415
Yeah but you can't jut wait for me to come up to you and throw you, I know you're going to be charging so you have to kind of put me on the defense.
>>337716596
you do both at the right times or you lose
plain and simple
>>337718701
..who did this
>>337718192
Lol what?
Are we talking the same Guile, or the same game?
You know, the guy who's notorious for holding D/B in every title that's not sf2 or Marvel?
>>337718415
You can charge while jumping, and Guile has lots of unique moves that move him forward while holding a charge. His combo potential against a cornered opponent is retarded. Waiting for your opponent to make a move just makes sure they always have initiative.
>>337719113
Yeah are you just gonna throw a sonic boom and expect me not to counter it?
>>337718585
You can say that about anyone trying to play defense...
>>337719241
Not really because shotos who sit in the corner are a lot more dangerous than a Guile who is charging in the corner. Just look at Infiltration of Daigo.
>>337719185
No. I'm not gonna sonic boom at all. I'm gonna hold d/b, jab when I read a grab, and wait for you to make a mistake.
>>337719359
And then proceed to get mad if I don't make any.
Gotcha.
Shit never worked, t-thx Dreamcast controller.
I'm an offensivefag.
And 9/10 times that bites me in the ass.
I'm still trying to not be one so much.
>>337719680
The best defense is a good offense. You just need to get better at it.
>>337719409
Nah. They all make mistakes.
>>337719873
You say that but every professional Guile fight ends up with Guile being defensive for like 1/8th of the match.

That goes for every character. Nobody will just sit there and wait for you, everyone will attack whenever possible. But characters like guile are more likely to keep you on a distance, which to me is playing defensively, in cntrary to playing yolo offense
>>337720265
>attributing equality for the entire roster
>not specializing it for the one character it matters most for
>>337719680
Then don't play SF, play KOF.
Street Fighter is a defensive slug series.
>>337720185
>pleb calling
Just fucking with you, mang
>>337720720
pleb is a nice word. I could have called ypou a philistine
I feel very confident in SFV Ryu. He's defensive. I need to work on my AAs and parries though.
I played Ken in SF4 but he feels too crazy for me in V.
>>337720357
Attacking whenever you can and blocking as little as possible always matters. Nobody wants to sit there and block, since blocking also does damage.
To me playing defensively either means that you prefer blocking over parrying, or that you keep your opponent on a distance. And charge characters like to keep opponents on distance.
>>337720945
Oh I see that. To me defensive playing is moving a lot, and being out of the range of attacks, playing footsies and so on. I don't really do that in GGXX, though I ought to. And I definitely don't do that in Darkstalkers, but it's a slim reward anyway.
I switch depending on the situation, obviously.
>>337722393
Tons of professionals have just one playstyle, I don't see the shame in having a strategy and sticking to it.
>>337722452
And those guys always have their "demons", right? The people who counter that playstyle. Switching up would help.
>>337722631
No not really. Japanese 3rd Strike player YSB is entirely defensive, never played a single offensive fight in his entire history. You have more popular players like Momochi and Dieminion who are completely one sided in strategy, and they do some crazy stuff, but they don't really have a super mode.
THROW DICKHEAD

Use the fucking kara throw.
