Some random thoughts on VF

These are some random thoughts about VF.

Imo

One can think of VF as being all about questions and answers. The question is always, "Can you avoid this attack/throw/damaging reversal/etc.?" And the answer is the opponent's response or current action, whether that's a defensive response like guarding or evading, or question of their own. What I love about VF is that the answers can be so diverse and can so quickly become incredibly complex (and technical), and it is a grey scale for correctness, as there is rarely one correct move or action, though you may find an optimum answer for a specific situation. And so often we can answer a question with another question. We can answer slow attacks with faster ones, or use other properties of one attack against another. A great thing about VF is the option selects and ability to maintain multiple answers, starting with the fundamental yutori throw escape system and reaching a point where we have an acronym like ECDTEG and beyond. The fun is in figuring out and utilizing every question and answer available to us.
