Have a general question about fighting games played at a high level. Assuming no quirks like online lag. When two good players play, where does the edge come from? How well they execute combos? Or something else? My assumption would be that top players can all dial in the combos they want, and connect with them most of the time.
Does it come down to who starts hitting first? with comboed attacks evening out over time, does it come down to pokes? Does it come down to reflexes, or outthinking the other guy? or something else?
ALso wondering about MK9 vs. other games like Street Fighter. Does it favor one play style over another, or have more or less randomness... how does it compare?
Thanks in advance.. hoping for for the benefit of your experience on this one
