Except . I don ' t think we do . Do English speakers in other parts of the world pronounce cough as coth or something ? I ' m American and I ' ve only ever heard it pronounced as coff . <| sep |> It ' s bad because your spacing depends on the actions of the opponent , not on yours . ie . If he presses a button after you ' ve fulling recovered , it might whiff . But if he presses slightly before that , you block . So you don ' t get a whiff punish opportunity . Edit Fuck it I ' ll make a vid of a basic example . it manifests itself in a lot of other dumb ways too . With Ryu , do j . hk opponent blocks , backdash , wait a moment then press st . hp . It will connect . Now do the same thing but mash the st . hp as the backdash ends . It will whiff . Capcom has no fucking idea how to make fighting games any more .
