Anything goes, as long as you win. Hell, why not use what is at your disposal? At least know what you're talking about before saying misinformed stuff like that.
@@DragoonCenten It's not misinformed, it's called an opinion, a basic freedom and I maintain it. There's plenty of high level VF matches you can watch, especially VF5 FS where there's virtually no use of low jab spamming whatsoever. The matches in this video were cheap and boring AF to watch in my opinion.
@@Longlostpuss it is a misinformed opinion, what you see as mindless spam is just them using the best tool for the job, you have to make a low risk decision in order to get in, especially when a few hits means death. You just strike me as a person watching to see two guys hit one another rather than analyzing the game, especially since you compared 5 to 2. That's such a gigantic stretch in logic alone when they're decades apart from one another, dont work the same at all, and likely had different teams working on them. You already admitted you dont know what you're talking about in your original post anyhow.
@@DragoonCenten Where have I admitted that I don't know what I'm talking about? I've seen plenty of high level VF2 matches where low jab is barely, if ever, used. Players were much more adept at using movement and timing to get in and punish rather than spamming low jab. Do you remember Fighters Megamix? Well if you do, even AM2 themselves put a course in the 1p Mode called "Dirty Fighters" and it's the only course in the entire game where every single character, whether a Virtua Fighter or a Viper, would spam low jab endlessly, so what does that tell you? They named the entire flippin course off of the cheap tactic deliberately and it was aimed to frustrate you. So it seems you're the one who doesn't know what they're talking about, or you simply haven't seen a clean wholesome technical VF match in your life. GTFO about telling me I don't know what I'm talking about.
@@Longlostpuss your first point depends on the matchup and who you are going against, your personal playstyle, and how the enemy is adapting to your play, these guys could dance around all day like it is Tekken but they just said fuck it and put one another under pressure, they were literally shit testing each other the whole time, you seriously inflate the strength of a fucking crouching jab, you have to be aware of your timing and spacing to even "spam" it, so it by definition isn't even spam because that implies you're just randomly pressing shit, and this comes from someone who just prefers to use movement, it's actually easier to do that than to time jabs. Your second point is moot because developers do no develop the meta unless it is a bad game with a biased team behind it, what works as a scrub tactic will not take you far against a competent player in a well made game, and the CPU isn't reflective of player vs player. "I dont know why they do this" is literally an admission of not knowing BTW, the first step of engagement is to make low risk decisions to get the advantage so you can pull off riskier tactics safely, this applies to literally every competitive situation ever. Not just video games. Anything else?
