When they have the glass it's half empty but if they look at their opponents glass which is identical, guess what?..... It's half full

Perfect analogy.
50-50: 50% chance to have an unplayable connection, and 50% chance to have a barely playable connection with noticeable delay.
How is run and delayed wakeup new ? Run was in MK4 and Trilogy, delayed wakeup was in 3d MKs.
It's difficult to be just outside things like Cassie's 11f B1 or D'vorah's 12f F1 or Kung Lao's 15f B3 (easiest to pick on offenders). Even worse when the extension of these strings can come out on whiff and still convert into combos. The distance is pretty far to a point where he seems obvious when it will miss and when it will hit. Unless of course you're going for just the tip of the normal. Personally I find it easier to be Cassie and space the B1 where it will at least touch them then be on the opposite end and try to weave in and out of it. Especially when I also need to press a block button.
Cassies is tricky I'll give you that so is Kotals because their hurtbox stays behind their hitbox so they beat you you out before your outside jump range you can def react to Dvorahs as she pushes her hurtbox in with her hitbox so you whiff punish her with one of your normals where your hurtbox is away from your hitbox (damn I'm confusing myself
) usually everybody's D4 does the job if you don't feel confident of using a standing normal
Yeah it's not all reactions and reads and just throwing out a quick poke to catch something is useful. (Love using Cassie's D4) but my main thing was the strings feel much easier to use then they are to beat. It's very possible to beat all those moves out. But another part of why I chose advancing strings in the poll is the fact that most of the time they are safe combo starters too. So in neutral you could be thinking 'I'll stick this great D4 limb out and try to check him and then I get some frame advantage' while the other player with the mid is thinking 'I'll get this to just TOUCH him. If it hits, woo combo. If it's blocked can be anything from safe to pressure starter to mix up starter to knockdown to space control' and I get why they reward different things. But the reward for some of these strings even TOUCHING feels a bit too crazy imo.Cassies is tricky I'll give you that so is Kotals because their hurtbox stays behind their hitbox so they beat you you out before your outside jump range you can def react to Dvorahs as she pushes her hurtbox in with her hitbox so you whiff punish her with one of your normals where your hurtbox is away from your box (damn I'm confusing myself
Look at this way you see the start up frames being 11 frames so that's all your counting but if your 2-3 hits away in distance you have a lot of frames to react to as you count the active frames the start up of the next part of the string and the active frames of the next part of the string and so on depending on the distance and how much the opponent is willing to commit
Also it doesn't have to be reaction if your in s comfortable space to bait you can freely throw out fast recovering pokes and normals out randomly to catch an opponent advancing their string on a read and what that is also doing is giving your opponent a reason to attempt their advancing strings to whiff punish your pokes so your manipulating them to take the bait
Footsies is not just reaction it's also reads, how else do you think they are whiff punishing 4f moves in games like SF4 consistently
only to use Raiden's and see his awful in comparison D4. 
lol Especially going from Kotal to Raiden. I get D4 withdrawals.
I don't know dude could be JCs and Jax's 11 are are really good tools for beating this, it's one of my most satisfying things to do to consistently bait them, the only chars off my head I have trouble doing this too Is Kotal, SZ and Cassie the rest I hit like 9/10 when spaced right, what is Cassie S2 that could be good for it if it's under 10f.Yeah it's not all reactions and reads and just throwing out a quick poke to catch something is useful.

Side note I try to play Raiden along with Cassie and Kotal. I get spoiled by godlike D4
Again it's not beating them out that's my issue. It's everything else that comes along with them. It's the whole package that is "advancing strings" in this game.
I guess we just have different perspectives on the opinion.
Yeah, unfortunately I had to make one that wasn't funny but rather totally true.
