I played some Colinsomething guy last night, he had like a 48-5 record with Hitomi and all he did was keep mashing at advantage, disadvantage, whatever, and using her deathfist at range. That was it. And I kept losing to that crap. Finally I was just like, screw it, and started playing as stupid as he did and won 3 rounds to 0 with a perfect. Man I hate people like that.
I think that's a flaw in this game that in order to beat people playing stupid you have to play stupid too. It doesn't reward you for playing smart against mashers like SC5 does. It just makes you mash back.
