Any move that takes minimal effort with maximum results is considered a noob move because it's "cheap" or takes "no skill". Just don't do the same move every round and you should be fine.
See, now i disagree with most of what these people are saying. Some of it is true, yes it's called a noob clap, but that does not mean it's not a good move. I noobclap as my starter in every single mod. Not one person insults me about it. It's not about the start, its how you follow it up. With most of the matches i use the noobclap in, I do win. The noob clap in my opinion is the most flexible, versatile starter in the game. It helps defend you from the hands, keeps distance from the feet, and you can easily move your feet and keep your balance. Most of the starters you see nowadays have a kick added, which makes them very vulnerable to flipping, which is very easy if you clapped first. Just because a move is simple doesn't mean you should be ashamed of using it.

There are always going to be people who call them 'noob' moves. Ignore them, then beat them with it. Or just leave.

Lol, that made me laugh alot.
that would be hilarius.... maybe in the new Karate Kid... anyway, i suggest getting the Unlimited Movesaver and making moves in Single Player and saving them there to practise and such also get some scripts that make Uke move and such to practise on.

however, if your under green belt then i would excuse you as the liklihood is you just got the game and still getting to grips with the controls, anyway, rage quitting is just stupid so he came out looking the fool



This is why people hate noob moves, its simple yet effective, there pride is too large to admit the shovel is pretty good
Noob clap is a GREAT defensive position which allows for very tactical play. Anyone who whines about it being a noob move is not worth your attention, and anything else they have to say (about anything) should be disregarded.

The Noob Clap God has spoken. The noob clap does allow for a variety of defensive and offensive follow ups.

Let me use COD MW2 as a metaphor, it's not the the move may be noobish to you, but to the high ranking better players, they think it's nooby cause thats all you can do. The same is true in COD because noobs and assholes use grenade launchers dubbed "noob tubes" to get painfully easy kills. the nooby ways to beat people may be good, or easy to beat, but it's simply because people don't like them that you get called a "noob"

I agree with Mr Poptart , i dislike it when people spam moves in tourneys, but it doesnt bother me that much, cept when they try to troll you. just try to mix it up a bit. i actually dont use the clap because you have both arms on the enemy, so you cant use one to keep you up if you get of balance.
