All data is not created equal. All theorycrafters are not either. When someone says, "character x will kill character y with their up-throw at 150% on Final D, with DI and momentum canceling." People don't consider that theory-crafting, but really it is. It isn't elaborate, it requires no real explanation, but nobody would argue that KO% shouldn't dictate strategic choices. You might say, "Well you don't have to use a KO move as soon as its likely to kill." This is true, but using the move before KO% will stale it. So based on this knowledge you may hold back moves until they will work optimally.What should be taken out of this reading is that theory can inspire but shouldn't dictate play-styles.
