This post is based entirely on the read "Art of War" by Sun-Tzu, the section named "Of Making Plans". It was adapted from the context of war to brawl specifically for this post.

Posts in the future will be made explaining other sections of the book in Brawl concept.
There are 12 "chapters", but not all will be elaborated into their own sections. Some are inapplicable or too similar to one another.




Making Plans:



- Five Fundamentals
The Way - Establish perfect use of and uses for techniques
Heaven - Hot & Cold: keep yourself in a balanced, methodic state, and watch your opponent's winning/losing methods
Earth - Stage details, where options are limited, where options are maximized
Command - Control your character perfectly, know his options
Discipline - Continously change and expand general knowledge of the game and meta-game. Be willing to work hard to earn each important win.

"Settle on the best plan,
Exploit the dynamic within,
Develop it without."

"Follow the advantage,
And master opportunity:
This is the dynamic"

"When able, feign inability"

" Lure with bait; Strike with chaos"

"If he is weak, stir him to pride.
If he is angry, disconcert him"

"Attack where he is unprepared;
Appear where you are unexpected"

"Victory belongs to the side
That scores the most
In the temple calculations
Before battle.
Defeat belongs to the side
That scores least
In the temple calculations
Before battle."


Thank you Bardull for the literary suggestion.
