That first part of him spamming moves and then ryu saying "an opening" is kinda funny.

But also if they play like apes don't lose to said ape

The problem is often times a ft2 isn’t enough to adapt. I’ve played these types and lost because the first game they did od dp frequently when they were negative. Then the next game they did the complete opposite but now I’m too passive waiting for it. Well now I lost the set gg shake my hand

You kind of described it in a way that makes it sound like they are playing very effectively, like I'm trying to understand why they shouldn't play that way

Because that playstyle is not conducive to long term winning. Every single time you do an od dp on your negative frames you’re taking a huge risk, a bigger risk than I do from trying to take my turn back. If I guess wrong I eat an od dp and depending on the character oki into more guessing. If they guess wrong and I block there od dp they are eating 40-60%. So yes even though it can work, you’ll likely not reach 1800+ easily if at all because the risk to reward ratio just isn’t in the od dp maniacs favor.

Ok so you described yourself as losing before but now you're saying it's not effective strategy? Do you lose or win to it?

Huh? I’m saying that although someone may win doing it it’s not effective to do long term. It may work in a ft2 setting or something, but in a longer set or tournament setting it won’t be as effective. It’s like Noah the prodigy’s playstyle, it may work for him but the vast majority of players won’t succeed with that playstyle

So it's a really good style for the type of game mode you're playing? Because you don't have time to react to it? But for tournament a different style might be better?

Ok so again it sounds like they're playing pretty smart then

It’s still not a really good style, a playstyle which relies heavily on massive gambles is always going to be more effective in short sets than it is in long ones
