Flash Kicks SUCK: The Hard Transition, 5/25/2015

Okay, I’m old school--- my instinct is to shoot down all incoming bogeys with Guile’s flash kick, period.  That’s just how I always did things.  And it’s not that I didn’t know about things like his crouching uppercut, I just always used them differently in the II series.  For instance, my favorite thing to do was to go from the crouching HP (I called it the Statue of Liberty Uppercut) right into his heavy Flash Kick.  Nothing like a good two piece, plus it just looked cool.

Anyway, as I got into the IV series, for the first time it dawned on me:  flash kicks suck.

Grey Damage: Why Ultra Combos II is the Best Loadout for Gen in USFIV

Lol… I said “Loadout” as if this was Halo 4.  It works tho, so I’m sticking with it; this is the way of the #SHENANIGAN.





Anyway, I’ve managed to get the evil eye treatment when I’ve told fellow Gen players that I always use Ultra Combos II in my matches.  In my mind, it’s the most logical, sensible selection; frankly, I think people only choose Ultra Combos I for comboability and style points which, frankly, I care little to nothing about.  Put simply, Gen is an assassin; sacrificing damage for added hits is not what being an assassin is all about.   The point is to kill without warning and get the fork outta dodge before Gen dies of old age.  Not quickness of body movement; quickness of victory.

I love it when I can point to a specific moment in a match having significance like this.
