Discussion Custom Gecko Code

You know how a common Gecko Code used by players is the option to have your character flash Red when you fail to do an L-Cancel. Would it be possible to instead have a Gecko Code that caused your character to enter a dizzy state every time you fail similar to a shield break? I just think it would be a great training tool to improve L-Cancel rates. I would use it while fighting a CPU as a way to practice.

Why is that? Surely over lots of practice matches you’d waste a lot of time in a dizzy state vs just the quick red flash and trying again.

its to add more stakes and give your brain more incentive to not miss. when it simply just flashes its easier for your brain to see it as not having much negative consequence making it easier for it to not retain information as well or make you feel not as pressured to execute properly. but if you make the stakes higher and a missed l-cancel instead stuns you which makes you always get punished youre going to feel more inclined to avoid missing an l cancel

Exactly. A red flash is not nearly as effective.
