Description
In fighting games, 'Corner Carry' refers to the strategy or series of moves used to push an opponent towards the corner of the stage. The corner is a critical area because it restricts the opponent's movement and options, making them more vulnerable to attacks. Players often use combos specifically designed to maximize their ability to carry an opponent to the corner, where they can apply more pressure and potentially dictate the flow of the match. Mastering Corner Carry techniques can greatly enhance a player's offensive capabilities and control over the match.
Examples
- In Street Fighter V, characters like Karin and Cammy have combos that can drag their opponents from mid-stage to the corner with a series of well-timed hits, making it difficult for the opponent to escape.
- In Tekken 7, characters such as Paul Phoenix have powerful moves that launch opponents across the stage, effectively carrying them to the corner where he can then apply significant pressure and mix-ups.
Additional Information
- Corner Carry is often balanced by developers to ensure it doesn't overwhelm defensive options.
- Practicing Corner Carry techniques in training mode can help players understand the mechanics and improve their execution during actual matches.
