Fighting Game players do this all the time. Not just for Normals, which are usually unreactable.

a Mixup is only good if you can get close.
Zangief's SPD is dangerous, but the best thing isn't to guess SPD/Anti air: it's to keep him out.
Easier said than done, but that's where the depth comes

Yup it's just the mental stack. Strategy players also deal with these sorta probabilistic decisions all the time

I wouldn't recommend FE to someone who hates/is bad at math

but a good rule is "if you need to do Too Much Math, put a unit somewhere else"

Malenia's Waterfowl Dance when activated from short range has this sorta dynamic too if you're not close enough to misdirect and can't pull off whatever esoteric dodges Souls fans are pulling nowadays. Basically the idea is to play around the threat of an unavoidable attack before it comes out

also i like that video :3

Ah I’ve watched that one before. I thought it was quite funny that timer was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I get that it doesn’t mesh well with the rpg gear mechanics, but it made me feel like the rpg systems delegitimize challenges in general.
