Description
In the world of fighting games, a 'Longcut' refers to a player's choice to employ a more intricate, less straightforward strategy to win a match. Unlike straightforward tactics, which might involve basic combos or predictable moves, a Longcut often involves a deeper understanding of the game's mechanics, character abilities, and opponent psychology. Players who use Longcuts might sacrifice short-term gains for long-term advantages, taking calculated risks to set up more powerful attacks or wear down their opponents over time. This approach requires patience, foresight, and often a higher level of skill and knowledge about the game.
Examples
- In 'Street Fighter V,' a player using Dhalsim might opt to use his long-range pokes and teleportation to frustrate and confuse their opponent, rather than going for immediate, close-range attacks.
- In 'Tekken 7,' a player controlling Heihachi might focus on parrying and counter-attacking, forcing the opponent to make mistakes and gradually depleting their health, rather than engaging in a direct offensive strategy.
Additional Information
- Longcuts can be particularly effective against aggressive players who rely on quick, decisive victories.
- This strategy often requires a thorough understanding of both the player's and opponent's characters, as well as the ability to adapt on the fly.
