**Player blinks** "This was actually a very optimal decision on their part."

[@benjaminratthe9904]

"Had they not blinked in this safe window, they would've had to refresh the wetness of their eyes in a non-optimal moment, or even worse; they might've had to not refresh their eyes at all until a better moment presented itself. Outstanding blink."

[@kylelo5986]

Wizzrobe actually does consistently blink while techchasing to improve his reaction time. So in a non meme way, yes, Wizzy has optimal blinks.

[@jakesawaguchi4928]

We still need some more frame data on the Wizzy water drink, especially on how it grants him intangibility frames to stall the set out, crucial mid-set metagame.

Very important point! I'll have to look into it for a future episode!

[@turndownforwalt]

In sacrificing his ability to count Axe has gained a power much greater

[@CGoody564]

To be fair, if you tried to punish his pop off, you're just going to get crushed by the low sweep which will launch you on counter-hit. ...oh wait, that's Tekken. My bad.

[@elivorderbruggen7508]

Axe really showed everything he needs to be best in the world here. Reactions, tech skill, a solid game plan, and great reads.

If only he knew how to count

Honestly, pop offs are often so hard to punish that you have to go for a 50/50 with crabs. This was seen effective on Hbox pop off to say the least
