[austere garnet]

Basically

[wicked quarry]

Wonder why they removed that input in 6 then

[cosmic forge]

Yeah, that’s why it’s called pianoing

WHAT

[wicked quarry]

Dee Jay still has a rhythm game input

[cosmic forge]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY REMOVED HHS

[austere garnet]

This isn’t even bitching this is by design

[wicked quarry]

Oh no HHS is still i nthe game

The input is changed however

[cosmic forge]

TO WHAT

[wicked quarry]

Its 214 + Punch

[cosmic forge]

I HATE THAT

THAT’S SO FUCKING DUMB

DOES OLD INPUT STILL WORK?

OR DID THEY JUST DECIDE TO RUIN EVERY HONDA PLAYER’S MUSCLE MEMORY FOR FUNSIES

[wicked quarry]

As far as I can tell

It does not

[austere garnet]

like I said, Raz likes him lmao

[late frost]

I think in V you could mash or do the motion input

[cosmic forge]

This is so fucking STUPID man

[late frost]

that's how Chun Li's kicks worked, memory serve me right

[cosmic forge]

Half the fun of Honda is working out combos that set up for good pianos

[wicked quarry]

Apparently so

Idk why they removed it entirely

[cosmic forge]

I don’t wanna play Honda anymore…

😦

[wicked quarry]

At least Gief looks good

[cosmic forge]

They’re gonna make SPD like

[austere garnet]

@dreamy mason You wanna find out if Honda Piano still works or not for Raz lol?

[cosmic forge]

QCF

…wait.

[austere garnet]

you’re the one person I know who has the game, my apologies

[cosmic forge]

is lariat still 3 punch

[dreamy mason]

for hands?

[cosmic forge]

Yeah

Or is it only QCB

[dreamy mason]

only qcb

[cosmic forge]

FUUUUUUUUCK.

[late frost]

lariat is two punch now

EX lariat is three punch

[cosmic forge]

why though

I mean sure I get it EX has to be one more but

[late frost]

times change

[cosmic forge]

You know what I just realised

You now have to drop charge if you do HHS

[late frost]

Raz we can't be the old fuddy-duddies that complain that they don't make fighting games like they used to

[wicked quarry]

Dont you get the charge since its QCB?

[cosmic forge]

Like you can’t maintain charge and do HHS because it’s a motion input now

Wouldn’t it drop? Either you go full down and lose headbutt or full back and lose butt stomp

[late frost]

yeah you'll lose both charges, ultimately

[wicked quarry]

Oh

I guess you get to keep the back charge at the end

But you do lose the down-charge

[late frost]

you can hold the back input after QCB to start building horizontal charge again

but the moment you do the 2 input, you'll lose horizontal charge

and when you do 4, you'll lose vertical

[cosmic forge]

To be fair I can’t think of a situation off the top of my head where butt stomp after HHS was a very good thing

But it sucks to lose the option ig

[wicked quarry]

Anyway Giefs inputs look mostly the same to me

Other than non-EX Double Lariat requiring only 2 punches now

[cosmic forge]

I can’t fucking believe he kept Tundra Storm

[wicked quarry]

No wait, Tundra Storm was changed

Its 22HK now

[austere garnet]

One of the worst counters I know of in anything

[cosmic forge]

Like I could count on one hand how many times Tundra Storm was relevant in SFV

[austere garnet]

In a game where they took away Green Hand

Again

[cosmic forge]

I got two to top you

[late frost]

He doesn't need green hand anymore
Especially in 6

[cosmic forge]

Blue Nocturne, and uh, Nemesis Level 3

[austere garnet]

Blue Nocturne

Defo

[austere garnet]

I was more snarking about 5

[wicked quarry]

Yeah the drive system actually gives Gief approaches now

[austere garnet]

They probably made Tundra Storm less awful in 6

[wicked quarry]

He also has a grab that makes him run up first now

[late frost]

Drive Rush is your gap close
He's gotten multiple specials to function as combo enders
And do you really want to give Zangief an advancing invincible move

[cosmic forge]

Yes

[late frost]

okay Raz

I played IV too

[austere garnet]

Lmao

[late frost]

EX Green Hand did too much

[austere garnet]

It was funny though

[cosmic forge]

I think Zangief should get an invincible wavedash

[late frost]

Also his SPDs do so much now

[wicked quarry]

Oh EX moves now only use Drive-gauge?

[dreamy mason]

green hand + 180 damage spd or no green hand + 340 damage spd

[late frost]

You legit only need three to do 1000 damage

[wicked quarry]

So basically you want UMvC3 Haggar in Street Fighter

[cosmic forge]

Curious, are there any duds so far in SF6

[wicked quarry]

... admitively that would be funny

Duds in what way, characters that suck?

[cosmic forge]

Not suck necessarily

More like, remember when V came out and there were a bunch of characters that felt really nothing to play

Like, Necalli or FANG or shit where nobody cared

[wicked quarry]

I didnt play SFV

Uhhh

[dreamy mason]

every character has spice but they did nerf kim a lot from open beta

[wicked quarry]

Too early to say, but I think the only characters that people dont really see are the traditionally unpopular ones

[cosmic forge]

So Honda lmao

[wicked quarry]

Honda and Blanka

[cosmic forge]

Surprised Blanka isn’t getting more play, his trailer made it look like he had some spice

with the dolls

[wicked quarry]

Oh he probably does but

Its blanka

His design is not exactly broadly appealing

Not helped by new character bias

Cammy isnt seeing as much play as usual rn either

[cosmic forge]

oh no how tragic

Hey wait

Are any of the Shadaloo guys in

I get Bison being absent but

Sagat, Vega, Balrog?

[dreamy mason]

none confirmed yet

[cosmic forge]

Surprising

Maybe they’re trying to work out a way to not have Vega be complete ass

[wicked quarry]

Shadaloo is officially destroyed at this moment in time so

They might be brought back later

[cosmic forge]

No I get that

But like

[wicked quarry]

But rn there is a new villainous faction

[cosmic forge]

Only Bison is gone

[late frost]

Can't wait for a Bison function that's a hot woman

[cosmic forge]

I’m lowkey let down by a lack of SF3 characters

Wasn’t that the whole point

[wicked quarry]

Speaking of Honda, randomly tuned into Brian_Fs stream and he is up against Honda

[cosmic forge]

Nah nah

We need Seth

[late frost]

We are post SF3, finally

They're kinda shoo-ins for DLC

[cosmic forge]

Yeah but this is bothering me

Like where’s Necro at

Or Makoto

Dudley

Where are the SF3 guys, if this is finally their time period

[wicked quarry]

Yeah its odd that, for the first actual sequel post SF3

[cosmic forge]

You get what I mean

[wicked quarry]

SF6 has fewer of them than SFV

I assume well get them with DLC, at least Makoto (she is a shoe-in) but

[cosmic forge]

Fuck, where’s Elena

[wicked quarry]

Yeah its weird

[dreamy mason]

i wouldn't mind elena without the healing

[wicked quarry]

I know that Spooks would really like Q back

(Im inclined to agree, Q would be cool)

But at the same time I love the newcomers

[late frost]

I really enjoyed G in SFV

[cosmic forge]

The other thing is, according to SFV, Elena’s been chatting with G

Which is a weird as fuck storyline and I wanna see it

[wicked quarry]

The only one Im eh on

Is the wind girl

[cosmic forge]

T Hawk’s kid?

[late frost]

I want Rufus back

[wicked quarry]

Oh shes T Hawks kid?

Yeah her then

Just do not care for her kit or aesthetic

[austere garnet]

Admittedly same

That is a fucking child

[wicked quarry]

Also, damn, looks like JP is just an actual Zoner

Was hoping for more setplay

[austere garnet]

But also I have made the same complaints Raz

They sure are still scared of SF3

[wicked quarry]

Again, its weird that SFV had more SF3 characters despite being a prequel

[cosmic forge]

I mean

[wicked quarry]

Well, set before it timeline-wise

[cosmic forge]

4 had more

[wicked quarry]

... wait

Does SF6 have any

I just realised, Dee Jay is SF2 not 3

[cosmic forge]

Alex is in 6 right?

[austere garnet]

No

[austere garnet]

Also no

[late frost]

Dlc ye

[cosmic forge]

What

Lmaoooooooo

You fucking kidding Capcom?

[late frost]

Oh 6

Ye he's not in 6 yet

[austere garnet]

No Poison either

[cosmic forge]

Poison was SF4

[austere garnet]

5 too.

[late frost]

Abigail gets a reference, I think

[austere garnet]

She was a fucking powerhouse in 5 actually.

[cosmic forge]

Yeah but I’m talking debuts

[wicked quarry]

Oh and as for DLC

.... 2 SFV characters, an SF4 character and Akuma are confirmed

[austere garnet]

Yeah no 3 characters in 6 at all atm. Barely any Alpha characters either.

[wicked quarry]

They really are scared of SF3

[austere garnet]

Mostly 2, 4, 5 & newcomers

[wicked quarry]

Which, again

Weird given that this is the first game canonically after SF3

[cosmic forge]

You know who I’d love to see from 3

[austere garnet]

So the thing is right

3 nearly killed Capcom

… over two decades ago.

[wicked quarry]

... which also means we might not get G closure

[austere garnet]

And they have been weirdly scared to like

Actually do anything with it since

[cosmic forge]

Honestly
And don’t hate me here
Hugo

I miss Hugo

[austere garnet]

I prefer Hugo to Zief as a big grappler man so I mean

Yeah fair lmao

[cosmic forge]

Thing is like

Now they can be distinct

Gief has more showmanship now

Hugo can be more like gritty idk

[austere garnet]

None of the 3 characters have gotten any real plots in ages, their 4 & 5 stuff was basically filler just for the sake of it

So they had an excuse to have them

[cosmic forge]

It’s funny how this game has like so much of the aesthetic of 3 with the street vibes and hip-hop

[austere garnet]

Alex in 5 had that particularly bad

[cosmic forge]

and none of the characters

[austere garnet]

His plot was dead fucking ass just filler

[cosmic forge]

Wasn’t Gill’s kinda important

Like it was straight up his coming out event idk

[austere garnet]

Just as a smidge of setup

Like

I know not everyone likes Sakura’s arc

But god they sure have consistently written new plots and character shit for a character from Alpha

Meanwhile Remy died in an alleyway somewhere ifg

[cosmic forge]

Because she’s literally the most popular character in the franchise lmao

[austere garnet]

3’s cast all rank high as shit too, mostly.

Alex is top 5 males, Q has on and off been top 3

[cosmic forge]

You know who I would love to see return

Rose

[austere garnet]

Makoto is generally top 5 to top 10 females

[austere garnet]

Came back in 5

[cosmic forge]

Rose was actually really fun in V

Like shockingly fun

I wanna see her again

[austere garnet]

I hated that she basically got Alpha combos but otherwise yeah

Or not Alpha Combos fuck uh what was it

Yun’s thing

That I cannot fucking spell

[cosmic forge]

Honestly that last wave of DLC in V was like

so fun

[austere garnet]

Hella yeah

[cosmic forge]

Dan, Oro, and Rose all turned out incredible

Luke was okay too ig

[austere garnet]

I’m kinda glad to see they’re bringing back Ed too

[cosmic forge]

Also uh

[austere garnet]

I may be like the only person who is but

[cosmic forge]

Akira?

[austere garnet]

His gameplay was fun

[wicked quarry]

What ever happened to Gill in the III storyline anyway

[cosmic forge]

Rival Schools girl

[austere garnet]

I am still so happy this happened

Akira yeah

They made air raves

Just for her

It made me so goddamn happy

She also made some Japan only dating sims canon so

[dreamy mason]

damn how long has brian been fighting this honda

[wicked quarry]

On a sidenote, I love how disrespectful JPs victory screen is

Wait wtf

How did Brian find another Honda on ladder

@cosmic forge did sumo headbutt go through projectiles before?

Because it seems to do that now

[dreamy mason]

could be armored

this is for sfv ex headbutt

itazan getting matched up with players from the states lol

[late frost]

I think headbutt was projectile invuln before.

[pearl burrow]

Dotodoya played exclusively E Honda in his first post-launch SF6 video, but afaik he's never been a Street Fighter player- he's not bad, but he's exceptional

[faint ice]

6 Honda has been the most interesting the character has looked imo

And his kit is pretty similar

Also I believe Aki (dlc) has some sort of link to fang

I love Dhalsim being a longcat

[dreamy mason]

cute

[austere garnet]

Alex/Dhalsim/Birdie/Oro & Lucia are the best ones

Lucia being a cop being reflected by her cat riding a Roomba is fucking 10/10

[wicked quarry]

Im fond of Akira, Balrog and Rashidooooo

His hat being a plastic bag that has wind with the w being the :3 face is cute

[dreamy mason]

ryu fridge

[dreamy mason]

wow the credits even has what my character was wearing at that moment in time

[dreamy mason]

how do i instant divekick on p2 side for leverless o-o

[wicked quarry]

Instant divekick?

What character and input?

[dreamy mason]

cammy, it's qcb+K while jumping forward

[wicked quarry]

Ah

Thats an awkward input to TK

You should be able to go 2149+K or something like that

But it might be an annoying timing

[dreamy mason]

i figured out a way but it's different from doing it p1 side

[wicked quarry]

That ... is odd

[dreamy mason]

i piano from right to left on the directional buttons for p1

[wicked quarry]

There shouldnt be a side difference

Ah

[dreamy mason]

but for p2 i input qcb first, then forward jump+K

[wicked quarry]

That motion is less accessible on p2, even though its technically the same motion

[dreamy mason]

yeah

[lunar depot]

I’m getting the snot beaten out of me by Heihachi.

Any tips?

[wicked quarry]

Yeah Im not sure how to do that then, other than trying to see if you can find out a way to piano it on p2

Youre using something like a hitbox I assume?

[dreamy mason]

yeah same layout as hitbox

just wondering if there's a different way to go about this before i commit this to muscle memory

[lunar depot]

I’m playing Arcade Mode on Tekken 1.

[wicked quarry]

Hold on lemme check smthg len

If her cannon strike still has a minimum height

Hm, cant find anything

Im guessing youre using your left thumb for the jump then?

[dreamy mason]

yep left thumb for jump

[wicked quarry]

Yeah pianoing isnt gonna work then

Well literally pianoing is, thats just a basic chord, but shhh

[dreamy mason]

unrelated but i gave my avatar spd and they never see it coming

[lunar depot]

Sorry for interrupting the convo.

[gaunt cloud]

Man

The fact that deejay's lights essentially serve to create mind games is so cool

Really like how he plays

[lunar depot]

I beat Tekken again. And I got 1st place.

[faint ice]

Yeah the feints are cool

Feint kicks feels the best because it just becomes a jump that you can attack with after

[cosmic forge]

they should make tekken
but godzilla

[dreamy mason]

played some wifi warrior yesterday, as good as sf6 netcode is, it can't save 2 bar wifi

will play my friend from tokyo later this week to see how that goes

[late frost]

https://youtu.be/lKMCdp1gCEc

[wicked quarry]

Oh my god there is a wild easter egg with E. Honda in the new World Tour

[wicked quarry]

Also speaking of Honda

I was off on my evaluation, the character is apparently reasonably popular

[faint ice]

Yeah because he's crazy

They gave him the juice for 6

Headbutt is so hard to punish beyond perfect parry

If you drive impact headbutt, he recovers in time from the headbutt to drive impact you in reaction

[wicked quarry]

@austere garnet yknow its funny, if I were to get SF6 now, Id probably play the best character in a fighting game for the first time ever

... but I also dont know if I wanna get the game yet because I expect theyll be nerfed soon enough

[austere garnet]

Lmao

[wicked quarry]

Like JP is just cracked

For some reason they gave the character with zoning and setplay tools also a frame 1 counter thats active for 20 frames and beats every attack, grab and command grab

As well as good normals, good jumpins and crazy supers

[dreamy mason]

avatar battles and cinematic supers is a great combination

||yes that's dante||

[south lantern]

Owo

[faint ice]

I'm unsure about JP being the best character

Yeah his reversal beats everything but it's still a reversal

He's clearly good but you still have to beat the all rounders in a scramble beyond full screen fireballs

Like Juri, Ken, Deejay

But idk who I would even call the best character tbh

[pearl burrow]

[wicked quarry]

Btw have yall seen Zangiefs perfect win animation?

https://youtu.be/tr_vAg09_pQ?t=141

Its hilarious

[gaunt cloud]

I assume that it's because grapplers are the best character in the game in the launch week exactly

[pearl burrow]

Ohh, he's preemptively hitting the grab button lol

[wicked quarry]

Not quite

Im pretty sure thats modern zangief

Which is to say

Zangief using the control scheme that gives you 1 button command grabs

[pearl burrow]

Oh ew

[wicked quarry]

Its not good fwiw

Its just annoying

[gaunt cloud]

Oh yea right modern controls

[wicked quarry]

Lemme check smthg real quick

Ok so, stylish tager doesnt have the standard tager buster as a one-button special

But does have emerald tager buster (i.e. the super command grab) as a one-button special

And he does have wedge catapult as a one-button special (Another command grab)

So this kinda stuff existed before

Its just not good enough to see play

... also I think I might toy around with switching to keyboard instead of pad

Like holy shit this feels so much more precise

[faint ice]

I don't think modern is equivalent to stylish modes of the past

someone top 8ing something with modern could potentially be a reality imo

[wicked quarry]

I mean

I literally dont see what the difference is

[gaunt cloud]

If you run modern controls you run the risk of getting a crab thrown at you

[wicked quarry]

Also BBCF has had people top with stylish every once in a while

Kogotan iirc sometimes played on stylish for fun

The only concern I have with keyboard is that Im not sure how ergonomic it is

Ive got a cheap as hell rubbish keyboard

[pearl burrow]

Instead of 236 light punch or 623 heavy kick, modern controls are 6punch and 4kick

Or sorry, 6-light and 4-heavy

[wicked quarry]

Yeah something like that

[faint ice]

I googled to double check

but I'm seeing bb stylish locks you into x strings

[pearl burrow]

You still have quarter circles in Modern mode, but everything is mapped differently

Ngl I’ve been using it while I’m still playing in the demo, and it’s definitely easier for my Fighterz/Melty-addled brain than the old triple punch and kick buttons

[wicked quarry]

That was in BBCP I believe

In BBCF you should just have normal attacks for the most part

Man I genuinely am wondering if keyboard is just the way to go

[faint ice]

hitbox enjoyer in the making

[wicked quarry]

Nah hitboxes cost too much

Like I cant find any under 200€

[faint ice]

just diy a pizza box

[wicked quarry]

I suck with hardware

[dreamy mason]

check etsy

r/fightsticks and their discord can help too

[wicked quarry]

Im german, the shipping alone is gonna cost a lot

And I doubt there are a lot of people making leverless sticks in germany

Maybe UK but

... yeah

Plus idk

Keyboard seems fine to me

Just need to figure out a layout I like

[dreamy mason]

i def saw some vendors charging euros while i was browsing but i didn't note them

[wicked quarry]

Either have the numpad for the attacks

Or have it be like, idk

ijokpl

[shrewd furnace]

Don’t worry, the hardware portion of it is super easy if you get a kit, they walk you through everything

As for hitbox on keyboard, I have:

Movement:
F : right
E: down
W: left
Space: up

Buttons:
UIO
JKL

[dreamy mason]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fB39iBG0D06-AnQDQDRdm8vyx71XZ_KLHkRnCDCQZRA/edit

[wicked quarry]

Damn, all in the 200+€ range

Im too casual to spend that much on a stick

Played some BBCF with a friend today using keyboard

Definitely a big shift, but I can see myself sticking with it

I actually got a combo I never could do on pad a couple times

[dreamy mason]

i suppose the cheaper leverless controllers would be the aliexpress ones

[wicked quarry]

I think Ill just keyboard for now

See if I cant actually get a hang of it

Still not 100% on the layout

Also needing a specific button for Overdrive/burst sucks

[dreamy mason]

i used keyboard for a while but socd shortcuts made me want to get a leverless

and the shorter actuation distance is nice

[wicked quarry]

Actuation distance?

[dreamy mason]

like how far you need to press down the key to send the input

[wicked quarry]

Ah

The hard part is definitely relearning inputs

[cosmic forge]

I never asked

How are the shotos in SF6

[wicked quarry]

They seem fine

Btw Honda is apparently pretty good in this game

[faint ice]

Luke is pretty solid too, not as popular as Ken though

[wicked quarry]

Btw @cosmic forge since you were curious about character placements

https://i.redd.it/701yq943zl4b1.jpg

Early tier list

So looks like Ken is quite good

[wicked quarry]

Btw how forgiving are SF6s inputs?

[dreamy mason]

slightly tighter cancel timings than sfv, double qcf inputs needs one diagonal out of the two so the socd shortcut doesnt work

[wicked quarry]

Compared to Strive?

[dreamy mason]

idk about strive

does that game have links or is it all cancels

[wicked quarry]

I have no idea what the difference is lmao

[late frost]

a link is when you have to wait for a move to finish completely before you do the next one
a cancel is when you "cancel" a move before it finishes completely to do the next one

[wicked quarry]

Mostly cancels I think

[dreamy mason]

so strive should be easier

[wicked quarry]

Ah, unfortunate

Im trying to do a basic combo on keyboard in BB and its quite unforgiving compared to Strive

Strive seems to be my limit

[dreamy mason]

i dont think the bnbs in sf6 are that bad at all tho, the buffer window is generous like sfv

it only gets difficult in shit like this

[wicked quarry]

Oh wow, keyboard brougt back an issue I havent had in ages

Right side being harder than left side

[gaunt cloud]

SF beginners on twitter when a character does big damage off the opponent whiffing a dp in the corner while having full meter and rage drive bar

[cosmic forge]

Damn, why’s Dhalsim so bad

[wicked quarry]

From what I understand

System mechanics simply screw over his gameplan

[late frost]

"Stay over there" is a lot harder to pull off in modern games

People don't enjoy that gameplay pattern

[austere garnet]

Guile getting modernized out of that has been a slow weird thing

As he can absolutely still do that but he doesn’t have to

[dreamy mason]

meanwhile jp:

[pearl burrow]

JP's moves push you across the screen sometimes lol

...While Marisa pushes you across the stage

[faint ice]

It's tighter than strive the way BB is

Strive was designed to have super forgiving cancels

idk if you randomly own sfv from ps plus or a random bundle u can see it a little there

[lunar depot]

I’ll quickly drop a question: would you guys want Bob in Tekken 8?

[late frost]

he's a mainstay

I'd be surprised if he's not in

[lunar depot]

I wonder if they’ll give him the ability to shift between fat mode and thin mode.

I took a game!

I’m out

But I took one game!

There’s a brand new mechanic called “upblock” where you can like shift your block upwards on jump ins and FULL COMBO PUNISH them on block.

Mindgame is they can empty jump throw you or low you as there is recovery for going for it.

Flawless block is back but ONLY negates chip.

this might be a hot take but my favorite Cammy design is, genuinely, the one from Fortnite

[wicked quarry]

Admitively the Leotard looks silly in this SFW version lmao

I like her SF6 design, its actually nice

[balmy parrot]

it's cool but it doesn't have her beret

which is why I like Cammy

[dreamy mason]

Can we talk about the 919 input tho?

[wicked quarry]

I assume only works if youre buffering

Otherwise youd jump

Or its a TK DP

[balmy parrot]

it's almost been 25 years since Third Strike and we still have not topped Joudan Sokutogeri as the coolest fighting game move

Or chant

[balmy parrot]

which one's that one?

[wicked quarry]

Navy Crusher is

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/blazblue/images/e/e7/BBCF_Nine_NavyPressure.png/revision/latest?cb=20161023174202

Nines Giant Fist

And Chant is Asukas magic

Im also fond of Marisas brutal command grab

[gaunt cloud]

Strive's heavenly pot buster

Just saying

[balmy parrot]

eh

trying a bit too hard

Joudan Sokutogeri is simple, fluid, and powerful

and conveys all three aspects of animation with brilliant use of keyposes and timing

it did it so good that every street fighter after managed to mess it up

[wicked quarry]

Even if we go by relatively simple metrics, Id still give it to Marisas command grab

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OIKtLdw7A4

[balmy parrot]

it looks nice but the mule kick has everything

and it's done in 2d

which inherently makes it more impressive

[wicked quarry]

Eh, as much as I like 2d games

I think SF6 is still the best looking SF to date

[balmy parrot]

sorry but nah Third Strike is the GOAT

[cosmic forge]

WHERRRRE ARE YOU GOING

[wicked quarry]

Marisa is great

Not a character Im likely to play

But conceptually a top 3 newcomer for me

Only one Id put above her is JP because JP is just a great villain

Also give us the wedding dress costume

Speaking of alt costumes I want

||https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fx18GqJWAAAHROT?format=jpg&name=large||

Slight spoiler for Zangiefs bond in SF6

[dreamy mason]

[wicked quarry]

Honestly if they release this alt costume theres suddenly gonna be a lot of Zangief simps

@austere garnet what do you think of this Zangief design

[austere garnet]

Genuinely way better than his regular design tbh

[wicked quarry]

Idk, SF6s 'Gief has grown on me

Turns out he just needed some pants

[gaunt cloud]

Holy shit

Continuing the run of free boss characters

He looks a little odd in 3D, but good

Yes

Much more regal though

He is one of the Kings of Orochi lmao

[wicked quarry]

Oh

What does Orochi have to do with Ioris fighting style

I forgor

[austere garnet]

He has Orochi blood in him

It’s what causes him to go sicko mode

And also let’s him do the stuff with the purple fire

[wicked quarry]

I see

[austere garnet]

He was canonically de-powered for a bit

During the run where Ash was being an overpowered shithead

It was interesting to see his moveset modified to account for a lack of powers

[wicked quarry]

Ah

Your favourite KoF era

[austere garnet]

Clearly

It is far from a hot take to say that was a bad idea tbqh

It was so unpopular they had to release a non-canon DLC version that had his powers properly

That was so broken it snapped the game in two iirc

I don’t hate it in theory, it was just bad in practice

So to do a D-pad DP, I heard I can place my thumb on the lower half of the directional controller.

I press right with the upper half of my thumb, then down with the lower half, then down-right with the whole thumb. Then I press a punch button at the end.

Is this right?

If you can play him, yeah

He's a fairly difficult character since he got reverse beat

Did they implement rollback yet

[faint ice]

what do you think 🫣

[hexed forum]

Uh

Uh

[late frost]

Character is best known as a lab time sink
But as far as actually playing the game, his neutral takes good fundamentals since he lacks unique neutral tools
But his pressure with a few level ups is wack

[paper notch]

https://vxtwitter.com/FilsJeremiah/status/1670582555785953283?s=20

[cosmic forge]

Hey, FighterZ question

I always heard Yamcha was good

Why is he not anymore?

[wicked quarry]

Iirc a few key aspects of his kit got nerfed

[late frost]

So, back at the start of DBFZ's life, Yamcha had a few key things going for him.

• one of the best assists in the game
• extremely powerful pressure tools
• arguably the best lariat in the game
• one of the best post-Level 3 oki
• good enough damage
  (formatting hard)

As the game has developed and gotten DLC, though, his strengths have become less unique.

• After everyone had three assists to choose from, basically everyone had at least one good assist, and many characters had multiple viable options. There were now many more characters you could pick if you wanted an assist like Yamcha's, but wanted a better character than Yamcha.
• Other charcters have strong pressure tools, at least on par with Yamcha's.
• Yamcha's lariat was nerfed, and he's far from the only character with a good neutral skip/long range punish now.
• Other characters have strong post-Level 3 Oki, and the meta has shifted away from that being highly relevant.
• Yamcha's damage, especially for his meter expenditure, became less relevant as everyone's combos improved.

Furthermore, Yamcha has some clearly defined weakness in very difficult neutral and poor DHC damage. Other characters simply didn't have those weaknesses while still having many of the strengths Yamcha had.

Yamcha hasn't been routinely nerfed, but one of his biggest strengths was nerfed, and the buffs he got weren't enough to keep up with the game's power creep. Other characters just did his role better.

[dreamy mason]

CEO is this weekend :O

[haughty zodiac]

anyone got a summary of sf6 character playstyles?

[balmy parrot]

do you want a video format or

[haughty zodiac]

sure though one video i watched was mostly talking about mechanics to very indepth level but didn't really say what the playstyle was and more absolute specifics like some stuff people plus on block or whatever

[dreamy mason]

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs4LjNCY15zMvPPLb8PPoiV6yvR7M9ZPe

[haughty zodiac]

have to say really like the look of dee jay

[faint ice]

I've been playing dee jay atm

He's super fun

he's pretty equipped for any scenario

super fast drive rush, he's got bombos but if u just wanna hit hard you can just confirm into upper

His moves have feints which can bait your opp

[haughty zodiac]

if i played nago exclusively who fits best in sf6?

[faint ice]

Ehhh

Nago's archetype is pretty unique

Like Marisa has the hard hitting part

she doesn't do the infinite special cancel however

[haughty zodiac]

part of why i liked nago (aside from visuals) is having the patient calculating far gameplay and going hyper aggressive between when it suits

more so looking for that

[faint ice]

hmm there isn't really a "time limit" character like nago's don't spill your blood

[haughty zodiac]

oh i don't mean that

[haughty zodiac]

this

[faint ice]

As for aggresive I think blanka also does it well

kimberly kinda waits out neutral before jumping in too I suppose

[haughty zodiac]

isn't he purely aggressive?

[gaunt cloud]

Blanka now has a projectile

[haughty zodiac]

is dee jay rather fitting for what i'm looking for?

[gaunt cloud]

So his gameplan kinda has changed a bit

[dreamy mason]

zoners fit the bill

zone them out for half the round and go in for a mix when they least expect it

jp does this a lot

[haughty zodiac]

hmm might also give him a go, i will say with nago he essentially just goes all over the place

[faint ice]

while jp has a teleport it's not exactly fukyo, you know what I mean?

but you might like a zoner yeah

[haughty zodiac]

i heard someone call dee jay a zoner as well which seemed odd tbh?

[faint ice]

he's just not lmao

He has a projectile and that's nice but dee jay goes in

[haughty zodiac]

i will say i don't really like dhalsim both in aesthetic and also gameplan

he basically just looks slow but tricky

[gaunt cloud]

Dhalsim is more similiar to Axl

Long ranged but commital

[haughty zodiac]

yeah not really just looking at keep it there the entire time sort of thing

like nago can get stupid long normals but will often go aggressive on your ass off any

tbf i'm not looking for similar range because his range is fucking nutty for his design but yeah not looking for just constant going in but rather keeping it methodical and going in when it suits

[faint ice]

you could like dee jay yeah but I just wouldn't compare him to nago really, you can fake out in neutral before rushing in etc

funny thing is, the things you like about nago are not how I would personally describe nago

[haughty zodiac]

yeah i should say not directly comparing but rather like having a methodical gameplan where you go in when it suits

[haughty zodiac]

because ape strats?

CH > 623HH > 214H > 623HH > 214H > 623HH >214H profit 🐒

[faint ice]

Yeah, I'd describe him as a ball of death, he's pretty unique that he gets to be a teleporting ball who's normals get bigger, but he has a mechanic that gives him a time limit etc big risk big reward (supposedly )

[haughty zodiac]

what's JP like?

also same with manon

[faint ice]

JP's a definition zoner
projectiles for all ranges including full screen
has a projectile command grab
like len said earlier he does have a teleport (think testament)
he can combo into super from full screen

[haughty zodiac]

how does he and dhalsim differ?

[faint ice]

dhalsim's a closer parallel to axl (large normals rather than projectiles)
he does ofc have fireballs but dhalsim's unique with both teleport and hover
he can make his fireballs stay on screen/bounce

[haughty zodiac]

there's not really a good strive comparison for jp then?

[faint ice]

testament is the closest tbh

[haughty zodiac]

ahh right ok

[faint ice]

Manon is the lightweight grappler that isn't big boy zangief/potemkin
she not only has her signature command grab but hit grabs
she has a medal system where those grabs increase the medal count which make the subsequent grab stronger
this carries over rounds with her max at 5 medal grabs for like 35% damage

[haughty zodiac]

damn

also what's difference between lightweight and other grapplers?

[faint ice]

you don't know sfv well right?

[haughty zodiac]

i played for like a day

also i see juri is the sol of sf6 lmao

[faint ice]

obviously street isn't an airdasher
but manon doesn't have the slow walkspeed
she can usually get a special off landing a normal which is a privilege zangief doesn't get outside real close ranges
just generally faster while gief has his spd damage immediately and has more health

[faint ice]

yeah juri's mad strong idk if I'd call her the best
she's mad strong but there's so many strong chars
like her,ken,deejay,guile,luke,jp are all clearly strong I have no idea the order tho

[haughty zodiac]

juri prob won't really suit me?

[faint ice]

juri basically fishes for mediums in neutral to cancel into drive rush

but yeah she does everything well

[haughty zodiac]

prob gonna give dee jay, juri, manon and jp a try thanks

[faint ice]

no worries, u might even be surprised which member of the cast u like the most

[haughty zodiac]

yeah strive i only ever stuck to nago

[faint ice]

I probably like deejay/jamie/luke the most atm

[haughty zodiac]

actually do want to ask is the ranked system like your rank is shared between all characters?

[faint ice]

no

characters are individual ranks

you have to do placements again if you switch character

[haughty zodiac]

oh thank fucking god

floor system in strive made me not want to play other characters

@faint ice btw what's the difference between the two control modes?

[faint ice]

classic is traditional fighting game inputs
modern is new scheme which allows specials to be direction + buttons with a 20% damage penalty
it's also a 4 button control scheme as opposed to the classic 6 so some characters lose some normals
in modern you can input a special normally for full damage - e.g. there's no modern input for lily's wind stock so u charge it normally

[haughty zodiac]

ok won't touch modern then

There's so much mental stack in SF6. With drive rush, drive impact, throw loops, command grabs, perfect parries, Jump ins, empty jumps, dive kicks, reversals, invincible supers, instant overheads. And then you add Kurt Angle to the mix? Your chances of winning drastic go down.

[balmy parrot]

those are his special moves

he can totally just rock a knife and do some CQC for his moveset

[wicked quarry]

Sure but I think you want Snake to use weaponry in any fighting game you put him in

It doesnt feel right otherwise

[balmy parrot]

I mean, honestly?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3o80qnra_E&ab_channel=Byakko

he could use grenades and maybe landmines

[wicked quarry]

Yeah as I said, I forgot that characters have weapons in this game

Noctis has his vorpal sword

[balmy parrot]

as long as it's not a gun

[late frost]

After that incident, I don't know if they'll ever put Snake in Tekken.

[cosmic forge]

not if kojima has anything to say about it lmao

[balmy parrot]

?

[cosmic forge]

Kojima has famously repeatedly lobbied to get David Hayter replaced with more "Hollywood" actors

It's why even the real Big Boss in MGS5 isn't voiced by him

[balmy parrot]

well, Kojima isn't Konami anymore

Man, trying to play Street Fighter on a PC emu is hard.

[haughty zodiac]

out of this bunch who are the easier ones to play (not lily heard she's ez af already)? tier list was me rating my interest in visuals and how they seem to play

[dreamy mason]

Everyone easy, other than dj Jamie and jp who are slightly harder

[faint ice]

Yeah, jamie's basically not hard he's just hard working (to get to win condition)

[wicked quarry]

I think Juri and Manon are the easiest here?

[faint ice]

I agree alongside cammy

[lunar depot]

What about Ryu?

[faint ice]

Ryu is not in their picture, but sure ryu is pretty straightforward in 6

[lunar depot]

Ryu is my main, but not in SF6.

[lunar depot]

Why?

Oh, I see he doesn’t really like the game, does he.

[haughty zodiac]

i mean its ltg he be whining

is he still going on about swag characters btw whilst playing a zoner?

[shrewd furnace]

Probably, that’s literally what he did with snake in smash

If Steve in smash looked “cool” in his eyes, I can guarantee he’d play him the lamest way possible and say he’s swag

[wicked quarry]

@austere garnet

The whole video is good but I thought youd appreciate this part in particular

[haughty zodiac]

yeah i remember campy af snake (wasn't even playing well was just throw grenades until luckily got opponent off edge to spam the rocket), strive he played axl

[cosmic forge]

Hit feels so weird in FighterZ

[wicked quarry]

He is unusual by the games standarda

But he is real fun once you get used to him

Weekend was pretty great. TL grand finals was mega hype and congrats again to Dabuz thats my goat. This tourney also made me certified that I will be fully on my SF grind. Will keep entering smash but sf will be the priority

Thanks to everyone I met in the FGC, yall are cool af

Guess I'm gonna start watching SF6 tournaments more often since I follow him

[hexed forum]

My GOAT is distancing from Smash

sadge

[sharp imp]

A bit sadge, but he still does cool stuff

His losers run was nuts and he played insanely good neutral against Dabuz

[cosmic forge]

I’ll accept it

Riddles has a tendency to be a bit annoying

I wish him all the best in SF

[hexed forum]

Honestly everyone clowned on him in the Genesis incident

I have nothing but respect

[hexed forum]

If I hyped myself up for weeks for an event

Only to get knocked out by someone so far below PR using a Low Tier

Having everyone pop off for him

And having a fucking camera take my picture

I would be pissed too

[faint ice]

Riddles' Luke was pretty good

and the game's just starting

[lunar depot]

Rufus vs Bob - which fat character do you like better?

[gaunt cloud]

Bob

[shrewd furnace]

Both were top tier at one point or another so neither

Actually though I prefer Bob because Bob was funny in tekken 6

Daigo adding 3 more buttons to his controller has taken me down the controller ergonomics rabbit hole.

SF6 isn't a 6-button game
Standard arcade stick uses 30mm buttons
Only feasible to use 6-buttons at a time on a 30mm stick
SF6 wasn't designed to be played on stick

Would you guys want Makoto from SFIII 3rd Strike in SF6?

[late frost]

I'd be down

[cosmic forge]

So, what position should I be playing Gohan in?

[wicked quarry]

Point or anchor I think

@late frost should know more though

[late frost]

Adult or Teen Gohan?

[cosmic forge]

Adult Gohan

[late frost]

Traditionally, you don't want Aohan point. His DP assist is great, and ideally you want to DHC into him so you bring him in with levels. I'm not familiar with what characters have DHC synergy with Aohan, but they tend to have long-duration active supers where Aohan can finish his Level 1 while the other super is still going, and then follow up with, say, a DR to get a knockdown.

[faint ice]

Rashid in SF6?

Got a question

Is Majin Buu any fun

Like, fat Buu

[hexed forum]

I've had a good time with him

I like his B assist which is literally just

If you hit it, full combo with anything

[cosmic forge]

Oh right the fat throw?

[hexed forum]

Yeah

[late frost]

@cosmic forge I don't play Majin Buu, so I can't really say how fun he is.
He's best known as a reset/setup character, along with some randomly strong tools.
He's allegedly top tier, except no one plays him because his tools are all funny. Or maybe he is just bad.

Looks pretty dope

That's a sick critical art

[wicked quarry]

Yeah he looks fun

Very mobile

[pearl burrow]

HE'S A STREAMER

Gosh I love him, his kit seems mostly the same (not terribly surprising; and I'm glad he kept the projectiles) but his design is different (no more D-Gazer lol) and yeah the level 3 is NICE

[faint ice]

he looks insane

of course his slide has a crossup afterwards

comboing off his level 2 looks nasty

It’s clickbait, but it works

[wicked quarry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJT1P680jGY

Bro

How is MK still so bad with animations

[austere garnet]

It’s MK

They put all their money into having very detailed realistic models that will look like shit in five years and paying for their traumatized employee’s therapy bills after they force them to look at snuff for eight hours so it looks slightly more realistic when someone pops Sonya’s head like a grape

You think they can afford an animation department on top of that???

[late frost]

okay
to be fair
that Johnny kick has hitstop

he's hitting a dude

the dan kick whiffed so there's no hitstop

kick still looks horrifically rigid, though

[haughty zodiac]

so like its modestly smooth at first and then just takes a massive chunk in 1 frame?

oh yeah that big chunk is from the hitstop moment

[wicked quarry]

Nah thats hitstop

Thats not the issue

Its that the kick itself is unnaturally stiff

[late frost]

yeah

his knee isn't bent at all on the way up

[wicked quarry]

Like compare Dans kick, where it transitions naturally from an angled position to fully stretched out close to the top of the kick

And then naturally goes back to an angled position as it goes back down

Vs MK where its basically a straight leg from low to the ground to the top and back

Its like its angled around

[late frost]

yeah it's much more noticeable on the way down

[haughty zodiac]

something i'm also going to comment on is the angle of the foot

dan actually looks like he's hitting with the top of his foot until he pulls it further back at the apex but the MK1 kick is just keeping the foot in the same position just rotating

though granted johnny boi is in shoes but yeah lack of movement in that foott is weird

K'eeg (@armormodechang)

it's not fair to compare modern Mortal Kombat animation to games like Guilty Gear or Street Fighter. MK is extensively mo-capped and doesn't cancel animations the way those games do, which means we should be talking about how it animates worse than Virtua Fighter 2 from 1994
