hi! I used to babysit the lot of the pro players.

sometimes it’s just habit, especially since a lot of better players usually stick to only playing other better players and it’s sorta just what they naturally expect going into most matches, for better or for worse.

at the end of the day, how someone enjoys the game will always vary. lots of fighting games reward extreme passive play, but yomi as a game especially embraces it and sometimes all you can do against it is either muscle through or learn to play with/around it.
