Is this how people play in tournaments? That was horrible to watch. I know some people call that Sindel tactic zoning but that is spam city to me. Thats crappy to watch. There was absolutely no skill in that.

Yeah, all sindel players should totally use all her other tools and just rush people, oh wait. If that dude cannot handle a forest of fireballs with KABAL, he deserved what he got. It IS a legitimate tactic and even though i thought the win pose was dumb and trashy, his playstyle is legitimate. Rule of thumb is if you cant beat "spamming" you suck anyway. Sad Ryan Hart lost though, I really wanted him to do well in Tekken:(

That tactic was not legitimate. It was not even a "tactic". It was repeated fireballs. Nothing else.

Yeah before this turns into another "spamming Vs. Zoning" thread, just please shut up.

Is it a tactic yes? Will it win matches? Maybe. Will it win tournaments? No.

It might be boring to watch/play against but usually only really shitty players go into a tournament expecting to win like that. I've seen it firsthand at the local tournament I go to. The players pee pees get all hard when they see I pick JC against their Noob Saibot. They "zone" away, I punish. It's easy. There's a reason why there was no "zoner" type player/character in the top 4, or even top 8 for that matter. Zoning should be used as a tool, not as a playstyle. If you're Sindel, sure zone if you can for the most part. But use her sick mixups if pressured. Don't freeze up and shit your pants when you're being pressured.

Pressure only doesn't win tournaments, and zoning only doesn't win tournaments. You need a mixture of both, as well as a method of reacting and adapting to both. Which is why you don't see me winning anything major. My pressure is unrivaled, even JOP doesn't have as consistent pressure with JC as I do. But my anti-zoning game isn't up to par with his. That's what holds me back.

So please, stop this pointless debate in 9/10 threads I see on TRMK now. It's stupid.
 
I wasnt saying that it would win tourneys(I know most of her "get off me combos" and sick mixups) I just get SO sick of everytime I beat someone they immediately say spammer. Yeah could I have rushed them and mixed them up? Sure! But why would I when they have no idea how to counter fireballs? Thing is at a tourney if your opponent cannot get past fireballs, then you keep using those fireballs. Ryan Hart could have EASILY either used an air fireball(get sindel out of the air) or could have used EX nomad dash or something along those lines.

Whatever, wasnt trying to stat a flame war. You just have to use whats working in a tourney, all I was saying
