Your 1-Stop for SvR Tutorials!

Do you know why there are so many cheap/lame players on SvR11?

It's simple, really: SvR is very much an offense-oriented game.

Fighting games are offense oriented, defense oriented, or balanced. SvR is offense oriented. You are rewarded for strong moves, chaining grapples, and having maxed-out stats.

This is not a defense-oriented game. Reversals do very little damage, and when you're on the defensive side (stunned, on the ground, etc.), your window of reversal is very small compared to your opponent's window of offense.

With that factor in mind, it's no surprise there's so many lamers who are very offense oriented, but are crap at defense. Most of the cheap players do not have reversal skills, because reversals are punished if missed, and they do little damage. And lag ruins your timing.
