If you played me and blocked it, I'd be at a massive frame disadvantage, you could even launch and juggle me as punishment for my audacity. And I'd be reluctant to use the move again. If you get hit by the launcher and subsequent juggle 5 times over 2 rounds, what's going to dissuade me from using it a sixth time in the following round? Pros (blokes who play tournaments) don't get juggled because they know how to not put themselves in a situation where they can be launched, stunned or grounded. Of course, they can't play entire matches in their shells and eventually, opportunities for the opponent will arise, but this is why serious players of fighting games find them so fun, it's as much a game about fighting as it is risk management, psychology and memory.
Good post. For instance when I'm hungover I lose alot more then when I'm fine for those very reasons. Examples could be Law's or Brian's tripping move that many users online abuse so often. With a stable mind I could block them with ease but when I'm hungover, not so much. Same with understanding your opponents game. If I'm fighting a decent character I usually try and let the first round last long to semi-figure out my characters means of trying to juggle. Because I use Yoshimitsu, there is so many ways to attack, the only problem is trying to find a way to use them all in harmony. So far I'm doing ok (at Avenger status), but I think I have the potential to go on further. I've beaten Conquerors before, and haven't come up against a higher rank than that. Having said that I could get beaten by some noob tactics (especially Law) that If I were better equipped with Yoshi I'd pummel them. *shrugs* Just all a part of getting to know the game better I guess.
