Couple Terms I'm Unclear On

[Sao87]

Yes and no. A simple way to think about it is:

Wake up = when you are waking up
Okizeme = when they are waking up

When people say a character has a strong wake up game it usually means they have great wake up attacks or escape options to ass out.

When they say a character has a good oki game it means they have good mixups, meaties, bait or safe jump setups to pressure people after a knockdown.

While we're on scrub questions, can someone thoroughly exsplain what fuzzy guarding is.

It's just switching your high or low block by letting go of down, or tapping down. As an example, if kung lao is pressuring you, you can hold block and crouch in case he goes for any of the quick lows, including if he ends with a low hat, you are covered for all his low options, then if he goes for an overhead you just let go of crouch while still holding block, you will have fuzzy guarded his overhead. Mileena has a good low starter into overhead ex roll, but also has an overhead u4 she can start things with, so people hold crouch block to make sure the first quick low hit is blocked, but then let go of crouch for the second hit in case she rolls. If she goes for the u4 overhead, then they just release down but still hold block so that they block the overhead. Same goes for Zod pressure. You can hold crouch block in case he goes for his f2 low starter, or low laser, but then release low when you think he is going for the overhead.

My understanding is basically what Vulcan said...If you fuzzy gaurd something you basically hold the block for the quicker move (less start up frames), say a low, and if you see the other one come out, you have time to react to it and block high.

While we're on vocabulary, these questions aren't scrub questions at all, they are noob questions. Scrub refers to someone who refuses to learn, who doesn't adapt, or doesn't realize they aren't learning or adapting. Scrub also refers to people that complain for reasons that they think are valid, but actually have more to do with their own lack of understanding. Scrubs also rely on flowcharts rather than putting in their own thought, and are known for repeating the same tactic even when it isn't working. Noob on the other hand just refers to people that have yet to gain experience and understanding.
