@DamianSommer @whatisian I guess I would ask: what's the differentiator between necessary and unnecessary wrt dexterity actions?

@doougle @whatisian If there's never any decision about whether or not to do an action in a competitive game, then I'd say it's unecessary.

@DamianSommer @doougle @whatisian yeah I don't like L-cancelling b/c it's a 100% win, not an interesting decision but a prerequisite

@MattThorson @DamianSommer @whatisian Genuine question: what's the difference w/ that and, say, Daigo parrying: http://venturebeat.com/2014/08/02/10-years-later-daigos-street-fighter-iii-parry-endures-and-heres-why-according-to-evos-cofounder/ …

@doougle @DamianSommer @whatisian parrying involves reading your opponent, you're punished for mis-read. Never a reason not to L-cancel

@MattThorson @DamianSommer @whatisian But no "reading" in that case of that Justin Wong super-combo, right?

@doougle @mattthorson @whatisian No, but the mechanic in general does allow for it, and therefore I don't feel it weakens the game?

@DamianSommer @doougle @whatisian but even if not, that's the edge case of parrying, usually it involves yomi
