[balmy parrot]

so much

[gaunt cloud]

Zoner with resource management

[wicked quarry]

Wait I stand corrected

[faint ice]

We love casting spells

[wicked quarry]

He has 3 additional resources

[balmy parrot]

yeah I'm not playing this game ever again

[gaunt cloud]

Bro i'm so picking up this character

[pearl burrow]

same

[gaunt cloud]

It was tailor made to my liking

[wicked quarry]

How do y'all plan to play while keeping in mind 3 bars, random spells, and another resource?

[faint ice]

Love his stage

[wicked quarry]

Like I cant even see how Id play him while keeping the spells in mind

[gaunt cloud]

Multitasking babyyyyyyyy

[balmy parrot]

I don't understand why he has a blue lining around his healthbar

[pearl burrow]

you know how people play Hero in Smash?

LMAO

[gaunt cloud]

The only thing that saddens me is that the new pc i was gonna get in february got "delayed" to november

And my current pc can barely run ggst without the stage bgs

[pearl burrow]

grateful, I will be, when Guilty Gear Strive is finally Steam Deck Verified

[wicked quarry]

Yeah good luck with that

Idk I like his concept

But I already dont play HC because of his 2 resources

[faint ice]

He apparently has 26 different spells lmao

[wicked quarry]

Seriously though, I wish anyone who wants to play this character good luck

Yall gonna need it

Oh?

Do we have the details?

I don't know what it changes but it leaves after a certain amount of damage, so it might be a spell buff whle he's high HP

ha

hahahahahahahahaha

[wicked quarry]

I mean

That was always going to happen

[balmy parrot]

shut up

[wicked quarry]

Hm? Im just saying, he is That Man

He was always gonna be a hard character

[balmy parrot]

just overall very disappointed in the game's state at this point

[wicked quarry]

How so?

[balmy parrot]

the preference to buff over nerf makes some characters feel really bad to play against and the simplified skill-floor makes it easier to access but they absolutely gutted the skill ceiling so I don't feel any motivation for learning set-ups and combos

and Ky is just not the same character as he was in Xrd and before and I really miss Greed Sever

he's just really mediocre

[wicked quarry]

I ... do mostly agree actually

Idk about gutting the skill ceiling, but its moreso specific characters now

However fuck Greed Sever

[balmy parrot]

okay but they didn't have to give us Foudre Arc instead

like, it's so useless

[wicked quarry]

Its a pretty good move though

Its just not an overhead

[balmy parrot]

most of Ky's kit kinda goes out the window when you realize he's honest and you aren't punished for blocking low

[wicked quarry]

You are though

[balmy parrot]

alright ovven, just disagree with everything I say

[wicked quarry]

No like, Foudre arc on a crouching blocker is + ... uh

12?

[balmy parrot]

sure, when the opponent has shock state

but outside of that it's a good read for jumps but not much else

[gaunt cloud]

Legit

Cannot wait to play asuka

[wicked quarry]

Even without shockstate its +6 on a crouching opponent

And safe on a standing one

[gaunt cloud]

He's so cooooooooooool

[wicked quarry]

Like Ky isnt the greatest, but there is a reason the character got pretty far in EVO Japan

[balmy parrot]

I've played the character since forever, I think I know the strengths and weaknesses of my own fucking main

[lunar depot]

I wish I could say that too.

[shrewd furnace]

Just don’t use foudre arc then

Speaking of which iirc greed sever wasn’t great either other than bad lag wifi

[balmy parrot]

no?

it's negative on block but it has crazy combo potential and it's an overhead

and on counter-hit it has even more combo potential since it's untechable as far as I remember

it's a pillar of ky's gameplan

[shrewd furnace]

An extremely slow overhead that again was pretty much only used in combos or bad wifi spam

But yeah both aren’t too bad

Different moves for different games

[balmy parrot]

I love it when people say things and try to gaslight me into thinking I don't know the guy I've played since I got into Guilty Gear

[shrewd furnace]

I too love fS simulator

[balmy parrot]

please, shut up

I get you wanna be sardonic but this is cringe

[shrewd furnace]

Eh tbf I play faust

[wicked quarry]

Oh Fausts fS is fine

Fuck his 6P tho

[shrewd furnace]

So I actually know how bad my changes were from rev 2 to strive (not to mention strive is well known for people who downplay their strengths)

[lunar depot]

What’s 6P?

[balmy parrot]

do you know what numpad notation is

[lunar depot]

No. I doubt it.

[balmy parrot]

https://www.dustloop.com/w/Main_Page

[lunar depot]

So 236P is a Hadouken?

I assume P means Punch.

[balmy parrot]

yes

[lunar depot]

And then 623P is Shoryuken.

Imma save the image real quick.

Oh yeah

The trailer is very dope

and they’re calling it Mortal Kombat One

Ed

Ed buddy

Stop rebooting this fucking franchise

[lunar depot]

Why just 1?

[austere garnet]

Because Ed can’t stop rebooting it

Repeatedly

This is the fourth or fifth time to my recollection

I don’t even like MK and I know this

[lunar depot]

Wack.

Wait, why are you guys only mentioning Ed Boon? What about John Tobias?

[austere garnet]

Boone has been the one leading the hype cycle for this trailer

Like let it be known because this will be forgotten in like a month

This trailer had one of the worst hype cycles I’ve ever seen

Ever

We sure did have two straight weeks of Ed basically going “IT’S COMING

NOT YET BUT IT’S COMING”

And fake outs and all sorts of shit

[lunar depot]

Ouch.

[late frost]

to be fair

given how MK11 ended

they had planned the reboot all the way back then

[late frost]

Oh
The release date is September 19

Only four months away

[late frost]

So the website reveals some gameplay details

MK1 will have assist characters

So

This is the best Simon in Japan’s matchup chart

My challenge to you:

Why is Mac in slight losing

Answer might surprise you

[balmy parrot]

as in little mac loses or simon loses

[shrewd furnace]

Wait is Steve and kazuya considered an easy matchup?

[balmy parrot]

the castlevania bros have surprisingly good combo game if you do the funny holy water trick

[shrewd furnace]

Because that doesn’t sound right either

I hope I’m reading the chart backwards but hope would second last be slightly losing unless the bottom is even lol

[cosmic forge]

You can’t get TODed from the other end of a whip

[shrewd furnace]

If that’s the direction of the list then dk as very hard sounds wrong too

[cosmic forge]

if dk grabs you your stock is gone

Belmonts’ recovery is so comically awful that DK just has to cargo throw offstage and you can’t come back

and DK generally has more options to get in than Kazuya or Steve do

As for Mac, it’s very simple

Mac’s burst range is longer than the whip

You can’t do stuff like pivot ftilt the same way you can against other characters with lower ground speed

[shrewd furnace]

Huh well checks out

I still remember m2k saying belmonts were too good because just don’t lose neutral and you win

Can’t remember how good they were at launch

[cosmic forge]

They were worse at launch

Belmonts only got buffs in Ultimate’s lifespan

It’s just that at launch everyone sucked

[faint ice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5hHDLCNZLI

[wicked quarry]

8 minute starter guide lets gooo

... oh its not just that he has 3 resources

He also has 3 modes

Ngl

I think Nine does spells as a gimmick better

[small furnace]

nine doesnt has shadow wizard money gang energy tho

[gaunt cloud]

[balmy parrot]

I wanna be happy but we just got Bedman who is also a mix-up heavy setplay control demon

[wicked quarry]

Also the APM check on the super is uh

Wack

[gaunt cloud]

It looks like you will still have to get in eventually which is cringe

But i like his kit

Wait i just realized

Pot's flick is gonna be very funny in the matchup

[lunar depot]

Today I tried playing Tekken again.

I keep losing to Paul.

[balmy parrot]

you know what

screw it all, we ball

I'm learning Asuka

[faint ice]

We're in boys

Ngl game is kinda intensive

I might have to play it on low-medium

[sharp imp]

I mean Kazuya is really bizzare about this because he gets zoned out a lot of the time, and then kills if he ever gets in range.

Really surprised how confident they are against Steve since he has tools to offstage kill belmonts.

This might honestly just be from Japanese players seeing Acola as too big an exception to judge off of

[gaunt cloud]

Ngl

I wonder asuka's full bookmark super will have any macros

Otherwise you would have to cycle between the 30 spells 4 times

oh my god

god damn it capcom now i want that blanka toy now

[late frost]

anyone particularly interested in the leaked first DLC wave for MK1?

[shrewd furnace]

Just put it in spoiler mode since some people wouldn’t want to know

But I’m intrigued

[late frost]

Main Characters
||Quan Chi, Omni Man, Ermac, Peacemaker, Takeda, Homelander||
Kameo Characters
||Tremor, Johnny Cage (also on the base roster as a main character), Khameleon, Mavado, Ferra||

As a big ||John Cena|| fan, will his inclusion get me to buy the game?

No.

But they better ||give Peacemaker some Cena-isms||

[shrewd furnace]

Wait, ||cage is a dlc and a base character?||

Game looks beautiful, hopefully it plays well too

[late frost]

If I understand the situation correctly
||Johnny Cage is base roster as a playable full character. But also, in Kombat Pack 1, there will be another Johnny Cage as an assist option.||

[shrewd furnace]

Oh interesting

Have they had ||assists|| in mk games before?

[late frost]

they've had tag mechanics before

don't know about assist mechanics, though

also @austere garnet
(you will understand if you check the spoilers)

[dreamy mason]

gonna give kim a try

[wicked quarry]

Oh right, this game is coming out soon

[faint ice]

abigail enjoyer

Kim seems crazy cheap, bunch of knowledge checks I feel

[faint ice]

Guile seems CRACKED

Feels like im working hard as a Jamie bro ngl

[cosmic forge]

couple of things:

• cross works like ivysaur razor leaf in that it can do well against minecart
• steve's poor mobility makes it tricky for him to escape some good setups
• the big one: whip breaks through blocks and hits the other side

simon is one of the few characters that can effectively pressure a resource-gathering steve

Yeah the beta was more intensive than I would think

i need some advice

how do you avoid, like, giving up

[balmy parrot]

in what?

[cosmic forge]

any comp game really but fighters specifically

i just have shit mental

one thing goes wrong and i just like stop trying

[gaunt cloud]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FwvM0Y5X0AALlwm.jpg

[faint ice]

I don't know shit about smash neutral
but if I'm playing someone normally and getting mopped up
next round or stock I definitely try to play slower than usual
see what's working, if they're better than me they usually beat me anyway as I can't focus enough to take the entire round, but bringing them down to say 30% is a lot better than just dying to a clean round etc

[balmy parrot]

for all competitive games you need to realize most are not won or lost entirely through a single mistake

it's a sequence of choices based off adaptation that will either secure you the win or let you lose

[lunar depot]

I learned a few moves for Law. But I still lose.

[balmy parrot]

don't let the immediate kickback or feedback of losing paralyze you with fear or despair

if you truly care to adapt, if you work on yourself and your mental, you will see results

[lunar depot]

Just gonna say, it's not fear or despair I feel- it's rage.

[balmy parrot]

it doesn't matter how good or bad your character is, your mental is all you need

NOT THE MOST BASIC CHARACTER IN THE ROSTER ANYMORE

ngl

after these changes i might legit run black/ssj goku/baseku lmao

ssj's 236H's basically has invul until the literal ending of the move

[late frost]

SSJku already had sauce

[gaunt cloud]

trunks also now gets a SKD with jS 236L

so that's cool

for all the 3 trunks players still alive

[late frost]

hey Trunks is still relatively popular

mans got the spin license

[cosmic forge]

I feel like I should get back into FighterZ but I also don’t know

[gaunt cloud]

black's loops are size dependant

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

anyway, tierlist probably doesnt change

good characters are still good, mid ones got 1-2 extra tools

[cosmic forge]

Any bad ones get stuff?

[pearl burrow]

Frieza get buffed?

[late frost]

yes

[cosmic forge]

Assists, purple ball, and other stuff

Purple ball, uh, what’s it called

@wicked quarry Hit nerfs lamooo

[wicked quarry]

.... but why

Wait

Janemba too????

They nerfed those two, for what reason

[late frost]

Janemba is very strong in pro play

Not as popular due to weird routes and having some quirks

But his tools are crazy

[wicked quarry]

Really?

For the longest time he saw no play

[late frost]

My finger isn't on the pulse on the scene like it used to be

But his damage is very strong
His reach is insane
Great mix
Great assist

Oh

Comedy

Ginyu's B assist (Ginyu force call)
Now calls two Ginyu force members

[cosmic forge]

Sick

[late frost]

anyone know how to un-sticky a button

My buttons are sticking

[faint ice]

is this a pad or stick

[late frost]

stick

This is a very old stick

It's a stick for the 360

[faint ice]

madcatz?

[late frost]

Hori

Real Arcade Pro

I think it's a Sanwa button

[cosmic forge]

Decided to install FighterZ on my laptop

[lunar depot]

And?

How was it?

[pearl burrow]

https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2023/may/22/dragon-ball-fighterz-patch-notes/

according to the patch notes here, there's nothing for Android 17

the A17 assist that Android 18 calls got buffed, but not the actual character

[wicked quarry]

Yep

[pearl burrow]

[late frost]

https://www.reddit.com/r/dragonballfighterz/comments/13phyys/i_dont_think_thats_how_its_supposed_to_work/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFiJ9b-ZjD8

decent summary

[gaunt cloud]

Apparently the meter nerf from the new patch stops applying if you spark

Huh

[gaunt cloud]

Oh yea btw speaking of bluegeta

He can now cancel the M autocombo big bang attack into a manual big bang attack

Which now makes him able to do meterless solo 7k dmg in the corner

Character's legit a top 10 contender now

[gaunt cloud]

Wait

I just noticed something

Now that connecting anything with bluegeta is insane damage

I FINALLY GET TO ZONE PEOPLE IN THIS SHIT LET US FUCKING GO

DBFZ IS NOW A GOOD GAME

SSB Vegeta/17/Labcoat looks ok

[cosmic forge]

Frieza be like “how dare that Saiyan primate Vegeta get to zone and I can’t”

[late frost]

Frieza got some buffs to his zoning the patch

Finally

[cosmic forge]

No shot

[late frost]

Yeah
He can adjust the speed of his balls

You can control the spacing of his explosion assist

And the speed of his ball assist

[cosmic forge]

Which ball

You mean like uh

You might not survive this time or whatever?

[late frost]

I think so

The one that travels along the ground

Also his 5M is now full screen

So he can threaten punishes on bad approaches better

[cosmic forge]

This one

236S

[late frost]

Ye

That one

[pearl burrow]

wait, how do you adjust the speed?

[upper ledge]

hold back

[cosmic forge]

So A assist is just the best now right

The “respect my neutral” button

[late frost]

Hmm

Maybe

The slow moving ball lasts longer

[prime forum]

only problem is with freiza is that well his base kit is not good

idk why but it just does but the golden form temporary fix his problem but relying on a install form doesn't help the problem as well because he needs the meter which mean you either stick out using freiza or switch to a different character so you can make freiza do his install

[cosmic forge]

@late frost first game of fighterz in about a year
i still don’t like broly

[gaunt cloud]

Which one?

the one with a grab that's basically a super

[gaunt cloud]

Tatsumaki?

[lunar depot]

Yup. That one.

[late frost]

@gaunt cloud we play DBFZ tonight?

[gaunt cloud]

Can it be on the weekend?

Kinda busy currently

[late frost]

Oh

Yeah that's fine

Need time to reacclimatize

[gaunt cloud]

Actually, @late frost are you available during like, 9am to 5pm est?

[late frost]

you mean normal working hours
Actually, I might be tomorrow or Friday since I'm not working

But a family member recently had a medical scare and I may need to take care of them at that time

[gaunt cloud]

I see

Hit me up if you're available then

[late frost]

Ye

Remind me
Are you South America or Japan

[gaunt cloud]

South america

[late frost]

Okay

The connection will likely be atrocious

[gaunt cloud]

Probably yea

[late frost]

But I've slowly lost interest in ranked modes over the years

If it turns out to be unplayable, it's okay

[gaunt cloud]

https://vxtwitter.com/rauofthedawn/status/1661513080914714626?s=20

Baby looks fun ngl

I could just zone out ppl for like 40 secs then pull out this shit

And ngl kinda hard to find an anchor now

Baseku is a bit meh if you cant link into spirit bomb, fusions/lc21 are too meter hungry now, janemba to a lesser extent

Ssj goku's solo mix is kinda lacking

There's z broly but playing z broly makes me go to sleep, best zoner in the game but he's the most sauceless character in the game

I wonder if S broly could work as a nice anchor tho

[late frost]

SSJ Goku with some of the most honest pressure fundamentals in the game

I think 2L is +0 on block?

[upper ledge]

I don't recommend s broly as anchor

[gaunt cloud]

Yea his universal options are good but he has only that

[upper ledge]

his frame data is too slow and he lacks good knockdown conversions without resources

he shits damage

but he ends up being really unsafe usually

[gaunt cloud]

If the oppoent can react well to dr and 6m you're kinda fucked

[upper ledge]

those aren't even the big problems

people will be looking for his throws

also he can't tap dr

[gaunt cloud]

Ssj goku cant throw

[upper ledge]

which means his dr is inherently slower

[gaunt cloud]

Lmao

[upper ledge]

he can tap dr

also he has pretty tight strings

s broly gets reflected pretty often

[gaunt cloud]

Are we talking about broly or goku?

[upper ledge]

s broly

that's what i replied to

[gaunt cloud]

Because i was referring to goku with that

[upper ledge]

this one

[gaunt cloud]

Ah

I see

[upper ledge]

2mku has pretty good midscreen left right mix with air downwards angled kamehameha

but he needs an assist for that

oh yea also to be fair, he isn't a mixup character

his whole schtick is that he has good frames

[gaunt cloud]

Yea that's fair

[upper ledge]

oh yea and beam assist lol

if you want a good solo mix anchor I recommend tien

if you can tiger knee his chop

it turns into like, a 15 frame overhead with spark

only issue is that he can only convert after with supers

since it gives slide knockdown

remember, you don't always need an anchor anchor to be last

if you play a good control team that cycles a lot then you don't need a good solo mix character

yasha plays both blue fusions and 17 as anchor

it works really well

[gaunt cloud]

Yea

I like to think i'm pretty decent at team cycling

Anyway, having a blast with this patch

Everyone i play/wanted to play got buff

[upper ledge]

I'll be honest, they did not playtest this patch

there is just some really fucking weird stuff that should not have gotten through

like bardocks H lariat hitting after being reflected

or bluegeta basically turning into a one touch character because of medium auto combo BBA cancel

also ssj vegeta having a really weird reset after 236M

[cosmic forge]

@late frost i played against a nappa and am still confused

[cosmic forge]

Is Yamcha any good in FighterZ anymore

[prime forum]

they still broke ssj goku legs

god damn it why WHY must they broke his legs

[upper ledge]

Its better now

Kept the long range while still being i10

Its not a stagger button anymore tho since its -10

2mku has the best ki blast staggers tho so its fine

[faint ice]

Shadow wizard money gang

You can actually just mash all his spells out if you want to try to burst which I wasn't expecting

Broooooo

I forgot asuka came out today

Idk what game to play anymore

[late frost]

he's still too honest
but his strengths are still his strengths
great pressure, strong assists, one of the best lariats in the game
he's just out-competed in his roles

still very fun

I should play with him again

[pearl burrow]

https://youtu.be/vA8u9MZR5ow

[paper notch]

both kreutz and doppelkreutz

[wicked quarry]

Oh

He has a DP

[prime forum]

he SOMETIMES have a dp

idk how well this charater gonna be

he could be well if randomness is good

cause the game could give you the right move but in other situations the game won't give you the right move

[faint ice]

that's what his super's for tbf

I could see him being good after development

[wicked quarry]

So funny enough

My guess is rn he is going to be good with a low-spell playstyle

Because as it turns out, his damage reduction with mana is absurd

And I genuinely mean absurd

Like for context, Potemkin is tied for the tankiest character at 93% damage taken

So about 7% damage less

Asuke with Mana takes 75% damage

He does have a Guts of 0, but even with that

He has like, Nago-level defenses at <10% health

And higher at every other breakpoint

[faint ice]

sub chipp health with no mana is impressive

[wicked quarry]

True, but realistically if youre out of mana youre fucked anyway

I can see him being just played like a tanky rushdown character who sometimes has fucked up options

[wicked quarry]

Played against a friend who got Asuka a bit

First impressions: Yeah his defense is mad silly

Spells are hard to keep track of

Mana recharges surprisingly fast

And I think his buttons are good enough to play him with minimal spell usage

Also his projectile super is actually turbo-cracked

Fast startup, beats other projectiles and, for some fucking reason, is +36

[faint ice]

His health and meter cost charges are fast

the normal one is ass

[wicked quarry]

Oh I meant the automatic regeneration when it breaks

Anyway, early verdict is: Possibly overpowered, but for entirely different reasons than I expected

His spells are the least important part

[shrewd furnace]

Maybe I should play him then, as an old Faust main who was sad at this variant

Also projectile super at +36 is norm, look at Leo super in rev2

[gaunt cloud]

yea

his kit is already good, the spells are just an extra

[prime forum]

im looking back at old rule sets during brawl time for smash man the legal stages are wack

norfair was legal, rainbow cruise was legal, brinstar was legal

[cosmic forge]

Logic was that it’s entirely consistent hazards

It’s why Poke Floats in Melee was a thing

[shrewd furnace]

Just memorize the layout and when things happen and you’ll be fine was the logic

Just like how we have 1 stage available that has a consistent timed “hazard” and an inconsistent untimed hazard

[wicked quarry]

Good old Kyanta

That last clip

Man

[wicked quarry]

So did some more quick maths on Asuka

If he doesnt use spells, you have to take off 80% of his hp to clear his mana

Which, with Guts in mind, means that he takes very little damage for the majority of the healthbar where the reduction matters

Which to me suggests a low spell-usage may in fact be optimal

Thankfully his buttons arent that good though, so its not like you can just play him as a rushdown with extreme defense

I saw a potato mod during the open beta

[faint ice]

Yeah ppl will have low power mods

The beta had me worried for how harsh the game was but apparently it was just like that

[late frost]

Gonna run the benchmark at basically highest settings to start

ooh baby sub-30 FPS

sub-20 in places

Haven't dropped below 10 yet

But also
The game is in slow-mo

[dreamy mason]

i thought a 1070 would do better than that until i saw it's a mobile chip

[late frost]

Okay
Turned the graphics down to what I'd be okay with

Still in slow-mo

so I'm actually running above 30 FPS

The problem is...

Well, you'll see after

(I closed everything else for this last benchmark, including Discord.)

[gaunt cloud]

I think you can

You can buy all sorts of gift cards there

[late frost]

yeah

well, it may depend on where you live

but I just did a quick check and they came up

I don't know if you can buy redemption codes

I think you have to buy a physical steam gift card that gets mailed to you

That would take just as long as waiting for the next check lol

You can. You probably shouldn’t.

[austere garnet]

Hell yeah.

I’m delaying on the game since between jobs, but I hope y’all have fun ❤️

[wicked quarry]

Tbh I might not get the game immediately

Havent even finished the MMBN legacy collection yet

But I know who Im playing once I do

Both of the characters I was curious in are 100% charge-free

Because theyre not DLC

[austere garnet]

I plan on giving Guile a shake as I always do, but I’m honestly mad excited for Dee-Jay’s return

Dee-Jay does look cool

[austere garnet]

The fake fireball on a charge character is so evil I love it

Also Kimberly has an Izuna Drop

So yeah, those 2 characters I think Ill play

JP as more of the slow, calculated archetype with counters and heavy hits

And Kimberly when I want the enemy to block this mixup

[lunar depot]

If the enemy just blocks it, youre eating a lot of damage

Oh my god JP has a very funny dropkick attack out of his teleport

Sis will probably either try button mashing, or cornering and then kicking.

Either way, I can’t remember beating her,

Interesting lore tidbit

JP isnt actually russian

Or at least, not neccessarily?

He is known to have used multiple aliases, the russian one is just the latest

Another one mentioned is Jean Phillipe, from when he posed as a frenchman

Though I do believe he most likely is slavic

His attack names are all slavic-themed

Would you guys want Dan in SF6?

[dreamy mason]

no

[faint ice]

I think he got a good rep in SFV but I wouldn't really want him to come back for 6

[wicked quarry]

Always up for more joke characters

[austere garnet]

Until SFV went full force with making him even more of a Ryo parody I’d have said no

Of all the legacy characters he is by far the one that keeps showing up for the sake of having him be there the most

And similarly until recently with KoF XV doing gangbusters the Ryo joke was hella irrelevant

Now? Sure ig

I’d rather see Sean return if we’re bringing back a joke shoto though

I want to throw basketballs at people

[dreamy mason]

the buckler website lol

[wicked quarry]

Wait

G was supposed ot be the "boss" of SF5?

[austere garnet]

Yesn’t

SF5 didn’t exactly have a main antagonist after Bison

Necali was built up for it and then he was just a loser nerd that got murked

Seth had some potential for it and then they made their storyline surprisingly depressing instead

G was hinted at but they never pulled the trigger on

Mad Gear Gang was vaguely hinted at as well until they just

Went out of their way to establish pretty much the entire gang are just normal people these days

G’s storyline makes this way worse

Because outside of one scene that implies he’s shady

It shows him beating people in fights and then winning them over to his side through discussion and charm?

They basically don’t play him as a villain lmao

[wicked quarry]

Mmh

Just that apparently he is used as the "boss" character in promotional material

Which is wack

Also, apparently Hakan is in the olive oil business in SF6

[austere garnet]

Yes

Except they also didn’t do this lmao

This has confused people for a while now tbc

He’s just

Not the antagonistic boss character a lot of the promo art has and did make him out to be

And while a few characters in game basically say “this dude’s vibes are weird as shit” and Rose/Menat in particular both hella do not trust him

He was never a major story boss or anything

[wicked quarry]

Hm

And it doesnt look like SF6 will pick up from there since he isnt in the roster

Or even leaked iirc?

[austere garnet]

They might bring him back for DLC

I still want to know what’s up with him and Q

[wicked quarry]

I hope

[austere garnet]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VivPApIEa5k&pp=ygUSUSBhbmQgRyBjb21wYXJpc29u

Again, giving him the visual flourishes to mimic Q’s old endlag is what gets me

[wicked quarry]

JP might give us some insight since his name also appears to just be initials actually

[austere garnet]

That is fucking dedication

[wicked quarry]

(Since Johan Petrovic is stated to just be an alias he goes by)

[austere garnet]

Maybe!

One can hope lol

[wicked quarry]

Imagine if they just

Never address G or Q again

"That was weird, huh? Anyway, in SF7 Ken loses all his money on crypto again"

[austere garnet]

Ryuuuuuu they took my funny monkeys again

I would be very mad for very different reasons tbh

I like Q because I play him in SF3 lol

He’s fun

G meanwhile is a very different yet very linked character, and I find his whole presentation very fun

Like Q links aside he’s an oddly unique character

A southern gentleman played for intelligence and charm is a bit of a rare character archetype to see these days

Maybe, though I do think the colours on this are a cute touch

Being the italian flag

[wicked quarry]

@austere garnet watching UMvC3 at Dreamhack

At high level this game really is just

"You got hit once, you lose"

[austere garnet]

Yes

Literally yes

If your opponent’s characters are better than bottom 3rd of the roster you just fucking die

[wicked quarry]

I think the wackiest part to me

Is that you can mix incoming characters

[austere garnet]

It’s like a happy birthday if it was a war crime

I’ve said before but I stand by it

Marvel is a very fun abysmal mess of a series

Balancing is always fucking horrific

[shrewd furnace]

yep i think marvel is fun but i dont think it's really fit for a competitive game due to how explosive it is

but there is some argument that it's the best competitive game due to how explosive/rock paper scissors it is

[austere garnet]

I’d argue there’s probably something to be said about a lot of Japanese players openly considering it a Kusoge

But it’s a good one

Like the FOTN fighting game

[shrewd furnace]

Yeah I consider it a kusoge too

[austere garnet]

Western FGC meanwhile tends to enjoy it as a big spectacle

[shrewd furnace]

It’s fun but damn is it a mess

[austere garnet]

It’s also noteworthy as probably the last FGC with regional tech

With the reveal of Morridoom

Post that, the internet was too commonplace for stuff to not spread like wildfire

[dreamy mason]

damn it's so hard to find a cammy streamer, guess people had enough of her in 5

[faint ice]

Ik Adrian was playing her alongside Ken but idk if he'll commit

[lunar depot]

Nobody probably cares, but I managed to beat Tekken last night.

I’m just happy it was under an hour.

[wicked quarry]

Most people are testing out the new character rn ye

[dreamy mason]

lost 30-0 to a ken but still had fun

[pearl burrow]

That's how you know you're on the right track

[wicked quarry]

Yknow, I dont get some of the alt costume choices

At least with old Cammy there are going to be the usual horny bastards picking the old design, even if the new one is better, but who is gonna pick SF4 Dee Jay?

[austere garnet]

It’s his original design from SF2

[wicked quarry]

Same difference

[austere garnet]

There’s a history with it

[wicked quarry]

Its an ugly design

[austere garnet]

I like his old design lol

I like his new one more

But the old one is fun

[wicked quarry]

Well, I suppose becoming a Skeleton does mean losing your taste buds

Ill give you that the MAXIMUM pants are funny though

[austere garnet]

[wicked quarry]

Especially when you realise why they say that

That being that it lets you flip the sprite without having the text break

I love little details like that born from constraints

[austere garnet]

Ye

His new design is better for sure but I dunno, I don’t hate his old design lol

[wicked quarry]

Fair enough

Tbh I think everyone looks better in 6

... except maybe Ken but that one is intentional

Cammys new design makes more sense and is honestly cooler in action, Ryu really rocks the beard, same with Guile

Zangiefs full-on wrestler attire is just more interesting

... Honda exists

Honestly it feels like the only reason Honda even keeps coming back is because he was part of the original 8

[austere garnet]

I do not think you are wrong lmao

But I also do not like playing against Honda usually so

[wicked quarry]

Like Im not sure I have ever met someone who was a Honda fan

[austere garnet]

@cosmic forge likes him iirc

[wicked quarry]

I even get Blankas appeal to some degree

[austere garnet]

I honestly really didn’t like Blanka until 5

[wicked quarry]

But then the rest of the world warriors are just cool designs

[austere garnet]

5 going “what if he was suddenly a popular mascot character and has little dolls of himself and just runs around doing that” was like

By far a better direction than “angry man in jungle”

[wicked quarry]

Like sure, Ryu and Ken are basic, Chun-Li is basically just hornybait relatively straightforward but Gief is cool, Guile is cool, Dhalsim is wack in a cool way

[austere garnet]

I do not like Dhalsim admittedly

But that’s also in part because I think his replacement(s) in 3 were both way more interesting

[wicked quarry]

Which would be ... Necro I assume?

[austere garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/3rd-strike-street_fighter_3-necro-elbow-uppercut-gif-26535649

Necro and Twelve

~~finding any gifs of twelve that’s not just him swaying is

Not easy lmao~~

https://tenor.com/view/zz-gif-23796918

[wicked quarry]

Music makes him lose control

But yeah I figured itd be those

But idk, as much as I am not sure Dhalsim is very ... culturally appropriate

I find his concept of a guy so into yoga he becomes basically a rubberman who can breathe fire to be amusing

[austere garnet]

Dhalsim and Honda have been the two with nothing to really do for the longest time as well

They do consistently come back mostly because they were part of the original eight

[wicked quarry]

Also, brief aside while were on the topic of designs

[cosmic forge]

Honda has the most fun input in SF

That’s kinda the main thing

[wicked quarry]

I like that Marisa is allowed to be big, strong and still pretty traditionally feminine

[cosmic forge]

HHS is really fun

[wicked quarry]

Like its nice to see a design for a female juggernaut who isnt just assuming strong = male-coded traits

[cosmic forge]

I still have all my pianos in muscle memory and I haven’t touched SF in ages

[austere garnet]

HHS is also a major reason I hate the character lmao

[cosmic forge]

It’s a very fun input

[wicked quarry]

Isnt HHS just a button mash input?

[austere garnet]

Play someone with no good jump ins or projectiles? It’s a wall at that point.

[cosmic forge]

No

[austere garnet]

You have to do it on time

[cosmic forge]

Well, not done right

[austere garnet]

If you mash it, it’ll end

Usually

[cosmic forge]

The thing is, HHS is 4 of any punch

So what you do is roll your fingers

For example

If I’m doing heavy HHS

MLMH

[wicked quarry]

Ah, so its like a mini-rhythm game
