When I say the phrase "time out" I mean intentionally running out the clock with a percent and/or stock lead rather than attempting to actually ko the opponent. One day on anthers ladder I came across a particularly good cloud main, and toward the end of the fight I felt too pressured to try anything risky for fear of being KOed by rage cloud. So I decided to play evasively and wait for him to make a mistake. As a Pikachu main I have a high damage out put, great mobility, and some mild zoning, this allows me to camp particularly easily. So I decided if he wasn't going to give me any openings I wasn't going to try anything risky and that inevitably lead to a time out with me winning. my question is, is this a good strategy? is it a healthy strategy for the meta? is it a looked down upon strategy? what are your thoughts?
If you are a fan of this strategy please tell us your preferred method of time out, how you do it, the characters who are best at it (besides sonic and pikachu), and what you think would happen if more sonics like 6wx started to use this underutilized strategy
additionaly if you hate time outs, what do you feel are the best strategys to counter this lame play
