Corner pressure players: Pros or noobs who only mastered one method of gameplay?

[Krystal]

Now before you all start screaming at me for being butthurt let me stop you there(though that won't stop you most likely if you are one of these types of players)

I'm simply making a point to point this out, in my experince when playing aginst players who pin you in the corner, if you ever manage to slip out of their corner pressure combos, their gameplay crumbles to hell and back until they manage to pin you into another corner on either side of the screen.

Frankly I find corner pressure to be a noobs form of gameplay becuase it puts the defending player in a position that's nearly impossible to escape. But I know it's a legit form of gameplay so I ask your opionion:

Corner pressure players:

Noobs who have mastered one form of gameplay or pros?

If you're getting forced into the corner over and over again it doesn't sound like their gamplay 'crumbles'. It sounds like they're exploiting the fact that you run a lot and don't hold your space on the stage to prevent yourself from being forced into the corner.

Here we go...knew one would pop in sooner or later.

The answer is, they can be either. Just because two ppl resort to a specific tactic doesnt mean they can be grouped. People who only know how to corner and take advantage of that may be bad, but if you let them win with just that it means you are playing even worst so...

Because if they do that, they have to be either noobs or pros.
Didn't you ever learn that only a Sith deals in absolutes?

You coded insult falls on deaf ears but to awnser your question:

Some fighters such as parasoul have a combo that if they manage to pin you in a corner...

Just drop the crontroler/take your hands of the keyboard becuase you ARE NOT escaping it.

Well yeah, if you're not even trying to, of course you're not going to escape it.

The answer is both.

On the one hand, if a player's capacity to fight you crumbles unless they have you in a corner, that might mean that their only strength is to have their opponent in the corner; showing some sort of lack of skill.

On the other hand, if a player is able to keep putting you into the corner effectively (usually requiring that they have some basic combat skills outside of the corners) that can be an exhibition of skill for the simple fact that they are controlling the stage and forcing you into a bad position.

I personally try to ensure I have both a non-corner gameplan and a corner gameplan both on the offensive and the defensive.

looks like someone got destroyed in quick match

Overreacting much?

[ArkWelder]

Pushblock well, use invincible assists, use reversals correctly, etc.

If you got put in the corner you deserve to be there

i dont even have a basement. It's also a bit funny coming from a guy who watches a show for little girls.

a lot of characters like Valentine WANT to put you in the corner, that's their goal. They win the neutral game and then put you in the corner and put you in a blender, that's their goal. If they somehow got you in the corner then you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.

The corner is your reward for outplaying the opponent. It's the advantage you get for outsmarting them in the midscreen gameplay. Please recall that a round does not start with one person in the corner, and nobody voluntarily goes there.

If you aren't already aware, you should be placing great importance on fighting for space on the map, because if you aren't you'll be put in the corner and killed. So yes, people who can 'only fight in the corner' are not that good. I just don't think I can identify them, because if they don't know how to put you in the corner how will they ever showcase their one skill? They HAVE to have a gameplay midscreen that puts you in the corner where you get killed. Gee, that sounds like a solid gameplan utilised by good players!

So yeah, players who put you in the corner and kill you there are good. I have never run into a player who was only good in the corner. Or maybe I have. Just don't let them put you there and you'll never know.
