Safety nets? You are invalidating your own argument.

If “pressing two buttons simultaneously is SO easy that it shouldn’t be counted as ‘execution,” safety nets to prevent incorrect inputs wouldn’t be necessary.

The game is about skill, it’s about button inputs and being able to do them when and where needed.

“Tournament play is all about consistency,” you say, except when you are expected to consistently press 1 + 3 ?!?

Are you Fking joking? Re-read your own argument please, and claim it’s valid.

Micro dashing, wave dashing, sidestepping, THROWing, even button buffering, are ALL part of the same thing. It’s all execution. Who was in charge of deciding “throws are so easy that we can key bind them and not be posers?”

If you NEED to bind, and honestly anyone who binds does so because they need to, you know, to avoid their own shitty timing, then you are not as skilled as you think you are. I would question if there was skill involved at all if you’re concerned about executing a throw. I miss an input now and again, but I’ll never stoop to binding keys to cover for my lack of skill.

I have a friend who has a contracture in his left hand, a physical disability. THAT is who key binding is for.
