Decent advice, but why go through the trouble of this when Capcom could simply open the link window by a frame (or two)? Also, this supports an old observation of mine that high level conventions seem to be things that make the game easier to play (Plinking, using arcade sticks, option selects).

All that is well and good, but if Capcom were to actually open the link window by a frame, elitist would cry foul - even though they strive to do just that. People would tell me my preference for playing with a 'pad' (thumbstick now) is scrubbish, even though they admit plainly that they use sticks because pads are too hard for them. Option selects are tech-throws with weak attacks to cover their ass in the event they guessed wrong.

So it's all well and good to discover techniques to lessen effort in combat, yet when a company officiates certain techniques, or lessens the executions needed for these techniques in the exact same spirit of lowering frustration, elitist bitch about the companies catering to noobs.

Just thought I'd share my thoughts.

Anyway, gonna let you niggas know right now: I'm in the process of moving. My 360 is at my new place hooked up to my new 50 inch tv ( ) and fuck if I know when my internet package is arriving (fucking Canada Post). In the meantime I'll try and get on a local open wireless connection so I can still serve up Painburgers to you fools.
