Do you turn the battle attention into the meter?

[Eddy Wang]

Lets say your opponent have more than 50% of life, you have only 5% even if due the circustances you know you already lost the round, do you turn you fight to the meter? why not? what do you do?

with this 5% of life, less or even a bit more, do you fight to cause the opponent to burn his meter to be equal on the next round?

Do you fight to build you mater in case of you don't have plently

Do you simple throw away you fight?

please discuss?

I've seen pro players throw away hopeless fights in order to retain/build meter for the next round. Quan players do this alot, from what i see.

Personally, i wouldnt throw away a fight just cause i have only 5% health, but i would retain my meter for the next round. no breakers, no ex moves, that sorta thing. If the opponent is at 50% and i have xray i might use that depending on THIER meter, like if they have breaker i will save my meter for the round, if not well....there's always the Tom Brady Special

You should never give up on a round, no matter how big the health difference is. Yes, your chances of making a comeback are low, but if you resign yourself to not winning that round, then you won't, end of story.

But yeah, if you don't have much meter, there's no harm in adjusting your playstyle slightly to build up more. Because regardless of whether you win or lose that round, having more in the next round is never a bad thing.

IF you are losing by a huge margin, you can at least try to build your meter without giving the opponent meter before you die, and if the opponent is trying to build their meter to full before you die, then just get your self killed in an attempted to make a come back.

everyone believe that can win even with 1% that is natural in every MK game, if the player allows to do so.
I think it would be accurate to force the player to burn meter if you play hard to kill while you plan to kill him

If the life lead is almost insurmountable, then I'll let them hit me so that I build meter quicker. If I can somehow force them to use a breaker out of fear then that is also considered a semi-succesful round. Building meter for the next round even at the cost of a loss can be very valuable at times. Meter management is BIG in a game like this.

I mean as posted above, this is a genuine strategy for Quan players. Even a 40% deficit in life for them is enough to say "OK let me die now and have full bar for round 3".

I mean a bunch of different scenarios means a whole load of different things but the general idea I have is: you don't think you can win this round, lose it but build meter in the process or force your opponent to use meter to seal the round.
