lately there have been a lot of threads labeling fighters....
i get kind of frustrated when i see fighters labeled incorrectly...
i will attempt to show the major difference between
"special fighters" and "very good fighters"
SPECIAL= a physical enigma, able to do perform physical acts that can not be taught, it has to come from inside (natural), at times, it looks as if they
are performing in the matrix as an agent or neo. A special fighter should not lose in his PRIME (unless matched against your absolute agent smith (someone like you) or match - someone who is good but not special, but they have your # for whatever reason)
VERY GOOD (or Above Average) = very good fighter (technically sound) and possess either one or two physical attributes that you developed or improved on throughout your career, it can be speed or power...you can excel and be excellent in either or both, yet you still miss that "IT" factor, that makes you go WOW the entire time you watch them. You are definitely very good or above average, yet you are not an enigma entirely. Just because you posses one punch knock out power doesn't make you an enigma (special.)
A special fighter's downfall is their natural ability that causes them to break away from the technical side of the game, relying heavily on their natural ability (ie:using Speed to avoid punches rather than blocking.) They usually peek early and reach the top quick, but when they get old...it's a hard fall from grace...sadly they usually have 1 level (enigma level) so once they lose their special abilities, they look rather ordinary....
Very Good fighter's tend to be smarter because they learned the techniques and always used them because they could not rely on a supreme physical attribute that could bail them out when all else failed. They will more than likely look that way throughout their career, very good...never extraordinary...never that DAMN did you just see that moment....
However there are some fighters i can not classify because when i watch them, i don't see anything mind blowingly special (physically) but their body of work speaks for itself, so i will call them HYBRIDS....since they encompass both but not both entirely. HYBRIDS are special because they encompass both sides (technical ability) and (a supernatural physical ability.) Some Hybrids may possess the power but never use their ability to it's full potential because of their tendency to be safety first, we call those defensive hybrids. Offensive hybrids are the opposite.
also, the special fighter can be defeated by the very good fighter even if the special fighter is in his PRIME, there are no absolutes
ok here are some examples of fighters to fit my theory:
Special Fighter
Very Good Fighter (Above Average)
Special Fighter
Very Good Fighter (Above Average)
