Why do we still have low recovery sigs in the game

[Lexa :)]

ie. hattori and wu shang sigs. just why. it doesnt make anything except make spamming more viable and powerful. you cant even punish them.

You can punish them by positioning yourself better

oh really? (sarcastic)
what happens if im starting a down air on hatar on a wushang which is mid ssig animation. I get hit by his following neutral light which comes out too fast. Im not here to know how to counter this obvious op move but rather to question the sanity of the people not seeing that its a bit too strong

Yea moves like that are also used to bait people into trying to punish them, only to get hit by a light attack once the sig ends. Sidra’s cannon nsig is one example. You can nlight right after you nsig (while the cannon ball still has active frames). These are pretty strong, sure, but it isn’t game changing at plat and above.

I mean look at these guys

yea man, i saw this game, pretty amazing. but its only ok for them because they are gods dont you think?

I mean something will always work on someone. Spamming sigs blindly probably works on a silver. Using well-timed low recovery sigs in gold probably works as well, but you will hit a point in which your enemies are able to easily punish you for using these sigs (for example just outranging you with a bow dlight).

My only advice for you is to try using what you think is op to get to your desired rank (high plat maybe?). Only then you would know that the grass is greener on the other side, either that or you become a god as well lol. Its similar to having a significant other, at first you’d think they’re the perfect person, but after dating you might realise all the terrible traits they have as well :)

Low recovery sigs, especially hattori, used to be the meta back in 2016 iirc, but that was primarily due to not having a dash option to efficiently dodge and punish those sigs. So you aren’t entirely wrong when you say that they’re “a bit too strong”

Cheers mate

I'm definitely of the opinion that the meta should be slowed down on all fronts. In the past when sigs weren't as viable there was a light attack meta. That didn't solve anything.

It'd be nice to have the game revolve more around reading your opponent, rather than guessing their actions.
