Description
In the context of fighting games, 'Cash Out' refers to the tactical decision by a player to use accumulated resources such as meter, special moves, or advantageous positions to inflict significant damage or gain a substantial benefit. This strategy is employed when a player believes that the immediate gain outweighs the potential future benefits of holding onto those resources. Cashing out can turn the tide of a match, secure a round, or capitalize on an opponent's mistakes. It's a calculated risk, balancing immediate reward against potential future advantage.
Examples
- In 'Street Fighter V', a player might use a full Critical Art meter to execute a high-damage move, securing a round victory or gaining a significant health lead.
- In 'Tekken 7', a player might use their Rage Art when their health is low to deal massive damage, potentially making a comeback in a dire situation.
Additional Information
- Cashing out is a common strategy in many competitive games, not just fighting games.
- The decision to cash out often involves predicting the opponent's next moves and assessing the current state of the match.
