The other day, I was thinking about this and wanted to know what people here thought: Which situation is a "Read"?
Situation 1: Player 1 (P1) knocks Player 2 (P2) down at the end of his combo. P1 decides to NjP since P2 has a tendency to wake up by cross jumping. P2 could have rolled back, armored, etc, all moves that would counter a neutral but was predicatable and cross-jumped again so he got caught by the NjP.
For situation 2, a little context: We all have patterns, especially when it comes to pressure we apply to a passive opponent. With that in mind;
Situation 2: P1's pressure constitutes, among other things, a specific string that is always followed by a poke since it's neutral. That's his pattern. As hes doing his pressure on P2, he does the string and follows it with a poke, as he usually does, and confirms the hit on P2, thereby allowing him to continue his pressure.
IMO Situation 1 is definitely a read. When we knock someone down, we typically want to do something that will shut down the most likely wake ups the opponent will do (whether it be NjP, continuing pressure, blocking a wake up, grabbing, etc). Situation 2 though, Im not sure. Did P1 actually predict the opponent was going to attempt something or, since he was poking out of habit, it isnt a read?
