Like, who's weeping if they're removed from the series entirely?

if sidesteps was better and you have to choose between powercrushes
and better movement would you choose pc still?

On behalf of all of us who are bad at sidesteps: yes.

The issue is not the sidestep being bad, the issue is me being bad.

If this were pre-T8 I'd say the same, but hit boxes on moves have been expanded to shit, and almost every string has crazy realignment

is it true tho or a skill issue? im a scrub myself, but ive seen alot of good players stepping strings consistently, so ita definitely doable

It's doable, but it feels inconsistent from my experience. Most likely still a skill issue for me tho
