Description
RTSD, which stands for 'Rush That Sh*t Down,' is a term used in the fighting games community to describe an aggressive playstyle. This strategy focuses on overwhelming the opponent with constant pressure, rapid attacks, and relentless offense. The aim is to prevent the opponent from executing their own moves or strategies by keeping them on the defensive. This style is most effective with characters that have fast moves, strong combo potential, and the ability to close the distance quickly. Players who adopt this approach must have precise timing, quick reflexes, and a deep understanding of their character's capabilities to maintain the upper hand.
Examples
- In 'Street Fighter V,' a player using Ken might utilize RTSD by continually closing the gap with quick dashes and applying pressure using rapid fireballs and strong combo strings, preventing the opponent from catching a break.
- In 'Mortal Kombat 11,' a player controlling Johnny Cage might employ RTSD by constantly using his fast normals and special moves to keep the opponent pinned down, not allowing them to execute their own game plan.
Additional Information
- RTSD is highly effective against opponents who need time or space to set up their strategies.
- While RTSD can be powerful, it also carries risks, as a mistimed offensive can leave the aggressor open to counterattacks.
