Well, you didn't achieve anything with your planking either. Yass' way of Arrow looping is viable in tourney, and he's like the only one who can do it this good. I've seen him play in France against great players, like Kaak etc. He did all his arrow tricks, they all worked. It would be punishable if he did it like a noob-pit and hold sheild while arrowlooping wich makes him roll or something like that. Yass does it while playing, and I don't know any Pit who can do it as good as him. How can they avoid something as an unexpected arrow coming out of the air, controlled by someone who actually knows how and where to place it to actually hit. Weird.
Anyway, Yass won't win a European national, true. But blame our bad character, not his unique way of playing.
Dude, don't talk if you don't even know my offline results and stuff. For instance I 2-0'd and 2stocked Crysis who placed 17.th at BBI (and he even forfeited), I kicked S!C out of bracket, went 1-2 against istudy.. etc. Also maybe you didn't notice it but this is not about me or yass, it's about if arrow loops are effective or not. Therefore your biased comment is just out of place.
Besides I know how Yass loops arrows since he tries it way too often. And still in most cases it's extremly easy to punish with a decent character and will put him in a bad situation. especially if you're opponent is used to it and there's no "surprising effect" anymore. You make it look like the arrow will loop by itself and he's 100% accurate, which is not going to happen. Ever. In most cases you can punish him before he can even setup his arrowloop stuff because it always creates an opening even if you move around while doing it (which is not even that hard like you say, I can do it by myself and many other Pit Mains as well).
"How can they avoid something as an unexpected arrow coming out of the air, controlled by someone who actually knows how and where to place it to actually hit. Weird."
I lol'd at that part. Seriously, Oh no an arrow coming from above! What should MK do now? Oh right he just has to mash B since the arrow won't go through it anyway.
Arrow Loops does have their uses, if rarely and extremly carefully used. But most time it puts you in a more disadvantaged situation then it actually have uses. And therefore it's nothing else then a gimmick, which is not even worth the effort. I M O
Oh and your last part, is just false.
