It simply means a sequence you have preplanned and practiced.
Oh. I thought Oki was more like that thing Milia (GG) does, where she puts down one of those... invisible... circle things and does something extra as the opponent gets up. I didn't think it was just "attack them while they're getting up". Actually, I'll just go look it up. Not everyone seems to have the same definition here.She's a grappler with the ability to set up a slide knockdown. She's all about the real oki tools. Set yourself a sliding knockdown, get to MGR range, mix up between full range MGR, mix up with dash up c.LK c.MP/s.MK whatever into full combo. That is some basic oki, not including safejumps, crossups, and pushblock baits.
I just don't like the arbitrary usage of Japanese terms by non-Japanese players. Why okizeme? Why not ground hits? Why yomi? Why not mind games? It's not like we don't have words to describe these concepts. And then, why on earth are we using the English word, "setplay," if *that's* Japanese? Why not the Japanese word for that?I generally defer to wherever i first heard a term coined and used widely.
Abare: virtua fighter japanese term referring to attacking from a disadvantage. Later used by japanese slang to refer to mashers since mashers always attack from disadvantage. Mashers are also "random" which is the american take on the term to refer to a characters ability to hitconfirm from "random" starters.
Fuzzy guard: another virtua fighter and tekken term, used to denote switching blocks quickly to option select ducking throws and highs and blocking lows while also protecting against mids. Means something totally different once american 2d players messed up the term.
Okizeme: tekken term for hitting the opponent while they are lying on the ground. Later came to denote tekken wakeup games and would eventually be adapted to streetfighter around the time that sf4 came out.
Wasnt around during the ST era. No one called vega walldive bs "okizeme" they called it cheap shit... And left it at that.
Setplay: "I" first heard this term from japanese sf4 players to describe at the time what would come to be known as akuma vortex, and afterwards would be used to describe some sakura stuff.
Would eventually be widely used to refer to any timing or spacing specific sf4 setup that used timing and/ spacing sequences to hit the setup perfectly everytime. So back throw immediate wiffed cr.mk xx jump is a setplay.
Tldr:
The japs are better than us and THEY coined most of this terminology so they could easily explain different concepts to each other. Setplay is one of them... So if you have a problem with it... Blame them.
