Overall, picking a hard counter is only effective if you know the matchup very well. Happened to me a lot at the last evo I went to (first year of vanilla sf4), where people would pick sagat after they lost the first match. Long story short, I made it out of my pool in winners.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625195842067674442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5572928730441769963.post-62483283575774901442012-08-01T11:31:51.557-07:002012-08-01T11:31:51.557-07:00@Gerald Herrera - My thoughts exactly.

...@Gerald Herrera - My thoughts exactly. However...<br /><br />To play devils advocate, Sanford had a point in putting the effort to learn new characters. That means going out of your way to learn the NEW character's/team's match-ups as well as execution, spacing, and fundamentals of the character him/herself.XsK_Samuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01992835377202179881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5572928730441769963.post-64131013819873860272012-08-01T08:28:29.133-07:002012-08-01T08:28:29.133-07:00Picking a top tier, honestly, is a whole different...Picking a top tier, honestly, is a whole different concept from counter-picking. I don't believe in counter-picking simply because my 3 years of Rose will outshine my 2 week Chun Li easily. Basically, it won't work out that well.<br /><br />But early game, learning that top tier would probably be beneficial, but counterpicking is picking your way to lose simply because you probably don't know enough about your counterpick anyway.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016826268634802447noreply@blogger.com
