(I can't make spoiler tags. (so if someone could help me out with that... that'd be great.)
We all get to a point where we hear these certain phrase and either think to yourself "Man, this guy is a loser!" or laugh and keep it going. There's some things and differences about Spam that most people find difficult to understand. Obviously, if someone is spamming you might think it's a moment of desperation; However it isn't always the case.
SPAM is a technique
(feel free to bombard me with hate comments)
With that being said, I'll continue. Spam is used in a variety of different ways, and it can be used to throw off the opponent. It can change their playstyle and you'll be able to manipulate it, either they'll become too timid leaving them vulnerable to Throws and they'll go ape-shit and lose their composure, leaving them more likely to take damage and holds.
Let's take a note to look at the differences between GOOD spam and BAD spam.
Good Spammer
- Testing and Differentiating certain attack strings looking for a reaction
- Takes the opponents moves and uses it against them.
- Can chip away damage.
- Only spams for a brief period of time unless, they know the opponent will attack.
Bad Spammer
- Has not taken the time to analyze the opponents playstyle
- Spamming because they finding a way to get back at them
- Easily predictable/ using predictable and reactable/interruptable strings.
Now this is just my perspective, I usually never spam unless I have to. But its also Important to consider the attack strings you use, and take a look at the advantages and disadvantages. Every move in spamming has a reason to it. To play mind games. But sometimes this doesn't always work.
[This is also what my matches kinda look like on DOA]
[and this is what my matches look like on Soul Calibur almost everyday of the week]
This pretty much sums it up for the subject of SPAM.
