I think that’s the hardest change to make having played these games my entire adult life… using those desperation moves as a defensive measure or positioning measure is never something I even thought of doing. When I started watching Pasky and others playing these games, that’s what stood out the most. That and things like the backwards jumping in Final Fight and other weird movement quirks I never even knew existed or did accidentally.
I think it’s really made me better at ALL videogames to have seen these things. I now look for exploitative things like that which are totally within the rules of the game in pretty much everything I play. It has frankly made me even better at first person shooters like Apex, too.
It’s kinda energized me about gaming in general.
