hey SuperKawaiiDesu or should i call your joudal ha ha ha big fan of yours I saw a couple videos u made and I thought they were pretty good. Especially the persona ones where you played narukami and izanagi! Unfortunately I don’t agree with your post. I couldn't finish reading your whole article but I think netplay is a great way to improve because it limits your options forcing you to think outside the box I used to netplay a lot of melty blood which is a really fun game that everyone should try if you haven’t already and it was a lot of fun and i think i got strong playing mostly on netplay. So ya i was thinking then, if i cant netplay what is the best way to improve? I feel like ive been past the scrub and middle level play for a long time now (i beat most people i play online and keep a pretty high win rate percentage) and am trying really hard to improve. I watch your stream and see you netplaying all the time but after saying netplay is a bad way to learn, what are we supposed to believe. Isnt netplay how you got good in the first place so It should be normal for people who are still improving to use netplay to get good? I personally use netplay to see where I can mash in people blockstrings because that seems to be very useful when I play online and people are trying to mix me up. Everything I learn online seems to work very offline too. Plus im not trying to call you out or anything but when i see you play offline and netplay on your stream I can see you doing mostly the same stuff with maybe the occasional combo drop because of lag spike. I hope you reconsider. EDIT: On a side not I think netplay has made me really strong in DFC and i think ill do a write up on netplay in the point of view of a top DFC player. cheers
