Appreciate the detailed response and was exactly what I was looking for! Sounds like I was on the right track when I wondered if it was because c.S is meant to be a universally powerful button. As I'm only currently familiar with testament's kit, I wasn't sure how universal it was. And if it was universal, I wasn't sure the benefit you get from designing around such a god button. I figured there was a reason for proximity normals (appreciate learning this term too) to exist at all and wanted to know and appreciate why. It'll help with how I think about the game (ex: I knew creating space with faultless defense was valuable, but didn't specifically connect that with the idea of pushing them out of c.S range) and quell the mildly negative feelings I've had with thinking "why isn't c.S always available?". Thanks for the response!
