@visual kiln
visual kiln
Gonna try taking him to UM or you waiting for Alex now?
lusty pelican
I'm gonna keep playing him for sure, I'm just playing to have fun rather than rank up
visual kiln
Word
lusty pelican
the rank up just comes with putting less pressure on yourself to do well
visual kiln
Of course. Primary goal should be having fun beatin ass

@lusty pelican @analog patrol @opaque musk Actual streaming of tournaments in the Battle Hub coming?
What we think? W or L?
lusty pelican
I mean it’s whatever, strange decision to paywall anyway because they would make more money if they released more content
visual kiln
My calculated, measured abare
Their savage, random mashing
My spaced, intellectual footsies
Their mindless, pointless flailing
My expertly reasoned wake up reversal
Their scrubby wake up DP
lusty pelican
The trick is to do all of those things at once

@lusty pelican @visual kiln finally achieved the thing I’ve set oht to do since I started playing the game seriously, made it into the top 10 of my states sf6 PR
lusty pelican
I went cold turkey with fighting games around the time school started
Needed a break, was fucking with my mental
Not sure if I’ll even play the Alex patch unless it’s actually game changing
visual kiln
You gonna try Alex out at least?
lusty pelican
At this point I care more about core gameplay changes then dlc characters created to make money

fat balance patch
@lusty pelican jp buffs
we rejoice
absolutely criminal change
lusty pelican
It always felt great to time the hit of a normal with the spike pop and now that shits just gone
lusty pelican
Made up word
analog patrol
he lost his throw loop fully, and cant do throw combos anymore really at all
lusty pelican
Oh ok, so those things he didn’t need he doesn’t have. I feel like that’s reasonable
lusty pelican
absolutely criminal change
But idk I think this makes up for it
analog patrol
Oh ok, so those things he didn’t need he doesn’t have. I feel like that’s reason...
for sure
throw just sends you dash in distance and leaves you +1 so no throw loop, and the distance makes it so none of the typical juggle followups work
lusty pelican
I mean
Drive rush throw loop exists I assume
But taking a bar for a throw loop should be universal anyway
lusty pelican
But give a decent meaty if you dash in yeah
I’m assuming that wasn’t a universal change huh
Too good a decision
analog patrol
I’m assuming that wasn’t a universal change huh
nerp
biggest universal change is all overheads are -3 OB
lusty pelican
Yeah I saw that
Idk a hitstun would be more impactful
Like allow for combos still but don’t let people get mediums or heavies off a drive rush overhead
Because even in the last major tournament people getting two touched by Dr overhead after a single hit
lusty pelican
Oh fun
analog patrol
lotta moving parts and moment to moment decisions
lusty pelican
Mmm…fighting game
analog patrol
cuz on every combo u use prowler stance for an ender or to give you god oki, u cant have both
lusty pelican
Oh wait we play JP interaction isn’t something we deal with
Jk, prowler stance looks cool tho
And it’s a grappler with movement
analog patrol
Oh wait we play JP interaction isn’t something we deal with
this my name in my local communitys server LMAO

What’s that supposed to mean

You try him out btw?
lusty pelican
Yeah playing him rn
Tryin to learn how to use this hitbox I got in Japan back in December though
visual kiln
Man you'll be a true terror if you get that down. 
Good luck
lusty pelican
Honestly the only issues I have left are doing supers and dps on left side
lusty pelican
My hands hurt
visual kiln
There's gonna be some break-in pains, yeah. But I really hope it's a good setup for your hands
cyan estuary
What’s that supposed to mean
In the sf6 story Alex marries his cousin
cyan estuary
I think he marries his aunt
No, it's confirmed his cousin
lusty pelican
How does that make any sense
Cousins are the kids of your parents siblings
And his kid is his moms cousin

What the fuck is going on?

The recent patch added incest into street fighter lore

whew big fan of alex but this prowler stance stuff isn't for me i think
Maybe those combo trials were just wack tho. Have to try some more later
lusty pelican
Maybe those combo trials were just wack tho. Have to try some more later
His trails make him seem way harder imo
At the end of the day he’s still a pseudo grappler you don’t need long combos to get your damage in
visual kiln
His trails make him seem way harder imo
that's the vibe i was getting. i honestly have no idea how you'd cancel his OD Flash Chop into a lvl 2 on the first hit
i really have no idea why they keep nerfing akuma though, without putting anything back i feel like the last three patches just made him a little bit worse each time with no benefit
analog patrol
His trails make him seem way harder imo
His trials are p optimal Ngl, and his oki is p tuff which isn’t shown in the trials

Oh he's mad hard? Hell yea, a built in OS
lusty pelican
He’s not that bad
He’s really fun and I like him a lot but he’s got baby neutral options and can kill most characters in 4-5 command grabs if they respect him too much

idk at what point people looked at Alex and thought "Yeah he doesn't look like white trash at all"
trailer park boy in new york
lusty pelican
Oh no he looks like a New Yorker, but I find it funny that only a couple weeks ago the main issue with his lore was him turning heel
But I still think
Kenny Omega mocap/OWA > random sf6 lore
cyan estuary
But I still think
Kenny Omega mocap/OWA > random sf6 lore
Only reason imma play him
Kenny my goat
lusty pelican
It’s so cool his cinematic supers change if it kills
lusty pelican
Only reason imma play him
https://youtu.be/Vxb5BuecXoc?si=qdc54vXYWMyyQiA0 this video was my first impression of him because I don’t really watch wrestling
It’s incredible how much the players matter for the hype of each game
lusty pelican
@visual kiln @analog patrol anyone gamin
Ive come to the realization that because I’ve only been playing Alex on hitbox I can’t play him on pad
I tried it feels too weird
visual kiln
i can't tell if that makes sense or not
lusty pelican
Neither can I
visual kiln
i'll play some tomorrow. just not feeling it tonight

Everyone is gone
midnight around the time lobby dies down yes
lusty pelican
What rank are those guys
analog patrol
1600-1700, some higher
lusty pelican
Really?
analog patrol
mambo is my main arch enemy lol
lusty pelican
What rank is he
lusty pelican
That’s crazy, he must have just picked up Alex and then not labbed at all
analog patrol
yes max doesnt learn combos its kinda his signature
lusty pelican
I was like this dude has clean anti airs and decent neutral but cannot play any defense
analog patrol
his signature "imma learn one combo and be fine"
lusty pelican
I was stuck between him being 1700 or 1400 with how he played at some points
analog patrol
my alex is showing good promise rn, im usually getting fucked in these lobbies but im doing rlly well
lusty pelican
I am winning more than I probably should be
Considering I’ve played Alex and been using hitbox for all of 3 days
analog patrol
none of our top 10 were in that lobby unfortunately
they mayve given u a better fight lol
i got knocked down to 12th
lusty pelican
No I dont want to fight better people rn, the last thing I need is to be worrying about mind games
12th of whatv
analog patrol
our PR
lusty pelican
What’s a PR

Who’s max
analog patrol
What’s a PR
power ranking for our state
analog patrol
juri
lusty pelican
I probably could’ve guessed that
Explains the anti airs being clean, it’s the same input for Juri
analog patrol
hes got an ego on him, which makes me wanna beat his ass in a mentorish way
mf knows how to push my buttons like no other
lusty pelican
Yeah he was playing like I wasn’t gonna punish him for fucking up
Bro holds up on every wakeup
analog patrol
yea i noticed that its why i won my set with him today
analog patrol
heavy knee smash is my best oki situation its just bad news
analog patrol
true i need to use it more
its really good on DR pressure cuz it can go into heavy chop
i believe
lusty pelican
It’s also good in pressure, cr.mp drive rush cr.hp gives you a trade combo and leads into a true heavy chop/prowler stance blockstring
What’s the raccoon guys rank, I feel like he was pretty good
analog patrol
What’s the raccoon guys rank, I feel like he was pretty good
around my rank i think actually

I dont judge rank regardless, I save my judgment for gameplay

last time I played ranked it was with terry and I was losing my shit
the ranked system just sucks
analog patrol
i still havent hit high master

If it’s charged
Don’t mash
If he turns green
Mash sometimes

been a while since i fought akuma i forgot how much this guy reeks of must
visual kiln
i didn't realize you were playing modern until just now
analog patrol
hes a top 3 modern character easy
lusty pelican
Switch mode
To ft3
But yeah very good
And I see the appeal because he already has so many options
analog patrol
he loses st.mk which between me you and the fencepost is a largely useless button besides some niche situations
analog patrol
not that important
lusty pelican

visual kiln
they made sure alex's stuff don't whiff tho
analog patrol
it looks like shit compared to snos alex but my alex is coming together nicely

ppl mash the fuck out of me on that shit why does it not work for me
lusty pelican
Yeah no that’s not real
analog patrol
its +2 yet im always counterhit out of that shit
even on light jabs
but not u ig

lusty pelican
If I pressed it works
analog patrol
imma go play squadra im lwk burnt out on streets for today, yall have fun sets ggs
fuck if i leave doesnt the lobby disolve
visual kiln
ggs
lusty pelican
Idk I think it’s more me getting used to this controller over the character, I don’t misimput as much and my neutral feels cleaner
visual kiln
shoulda went forward
lusty pelican
Nah nevermind it’s the character
visual kiln
?
lusty pelican
I was gonna super anyway
visual kiln
did you just duck a grab
lusty pelican
No
visual kiln
yeah i figured you would
lusty pelican
I played reiko mainly in mk1
Heavy chop is literally reiko b2
And reiko had a stance
And fucked up normals
lusty pelican
Even the characters have similar personalities
Only difference was reiko had a fucked up projectile and could combo off his command grab
visual kiln
I prefer combing into command grabs myself
lusty pelican
I just feel my brain turning to mush as I s.lk drive rush heavy command grab for the 4th time
I see why Gief players do that
I don’t respect it from Gief players, but I get it
visual kiln
they gotta work with what little they got lol
lusty pelican
They got enough tbh, why is every hit a 50/50 that costs 40%

How goes the master grind
lusty pelican
Damn
lusty pelican
Eh it’s diamond losing a winstreak ain’t the end of the world
If you are winning 9 games in a row anyway you’ll be out in no time
analog patrol
not when i absolutely should not be here and this is an absolute slog getting through all of these garbage playuers
its just not good practice
lusty pelican
Yeah I just try to have fun and not play like they are master players who (sometimes) know what they are doing
Just do stupid shit, go for random resets
lusty pelican
Yeah you gotta make it less boring because god knows your opponent won’t
That doesn’t change in any rank btw
analog patrol
ppl play so fucking scared the moment they see i can do prowler stance links
like god damn play neutral
analog patrol
fuck you dyno
lusty pelican
lmao
analog patrol
i will tear you limb from limb
lusty pelican
but I promise you start taking it less seriously, work on execution over footsies, and go for funny shit you’ll have a lot easier of a time
Not once during my run was I like “man this guy needs to play some footsies”
I was mashing prowler stance dive and ex command grabbing mfs
analog patrol
just hard to shake the feeling of it being a MASSIVE waste of time working my way through garbage so i can like, actually learn alex
lusty pelican
I mean, you are get into master and fight
The same people
So it’s good practice
You won’t see a hint of footsies being played until at least 1650
And even then
analog patrol
i genuinely have gotten to 8+ win streaks 7 times and have actually hit a winstreak bonus once
its maddening
like not even salt y
its just insane
from diamond 1 to diamond 4 in a DAY with 1 instance of WS bonus
lusty pelican
Yeah there’s still some skbmm out there, but high diamond players are usually not high diamond on their main character
I didn’t get a win streak bonus on my run
lusty pelican
Granted I only lost like 3 games and they were all on 9 win streaks
Yeah I did also place d5
But d4-d5 ain’t that far off
D5 is just when you start getting master players in your pool and it becomes immediately easier
Lemme watch some of these replays see what’s goin on
(I’m bored)
analog patrol
the last replay is chopped plz dont watch the aki one i beg
lusty pelican
Did you get on for one match and log off
analog patrol
but i just did heavy chop into lvl 3
lusty pelican
I can’t imagine that’s the only reason you lost
analog patrol
Did you get on for one match and log off
no capcom booted me
lusty pelican
Lame
analog patrol
im back on lol it was in menu so i keep my streak
lusty pelican
Aki stance follow up is - btw
Mash on that
Also Alex tc is plus on block in burnout
For whatever reason
Nah I see why you did that combo, it would have killed but modern scaling did you in
You gotta do the super inputs more, you are losing out on a lot of damage
You want some entertainment you should want my replays
Some ape shit going on there
lusty pelican
Can’t end on a loss fr fr

Feel the character out in the lab first, do his combo trails and make you you know what he can do before worrying about optimals
He’s very fun, and despite having a lot of options you only need to boil it down to one or two for most situations
His execution isn’t that high either, it just takes some getting used to
cyan estuary
Hell yea, appreciate it man
lusty pelican
I’ve also been using exclusively hitbox since Alex came out and I think the main reason it’s sticking so well is because I was going into a new character with a new controller
Instead of having to rewrite my muscle memory from other characters I learned on pad
lusty pelican
@cyan estuary if you ever want to hop into a custom I can give you the rundown on the character
visual kiln
New desk
@lusty pelican https://youtu.be/LxMpL3LLw9A?t=122
I have no idea how you accomplish this cancel lmao I can't do it
lusty pelican
I have no idea how you accomplish this cancel lmao I can't do it
The first hit into level 2?
visual kiln
yeah that's crazy
lusty pelican
Tbh you normally don’t want that one
lusty pelican
Unless midscreen, but it’s one of those ones you just gotta mash
Buffer the 214 Input and press the light normal right after the ex flash
visual kiln
I simply cannot go from a 236 to a 214214 that fast
there's too few frames for my broke ass hands to make that work
lusty pelican
I honestly have a harder time getting it on the second hit
visual kiln
I imagine it's wayyyyy simpler to achieve with a hitbox
because you just double tap your left input, while holding down the whole time right?
lusty pelican
It honestly depends on the side, because the difference between double tapping with your index vs ring finger is like night and day in difficulty
And you have the delay your button because the input can come out too fast and only give you the first hit link
Which kills your damage and oki in the corner
That’s the tech to fighting me right now, if I’m on the right side it’s much harder to use level 1 and 3 and in the left it’s level 2
visual kiln
I dunno if poor execution is a reliable "tech" man lol
I kinda hope we get Vega next season tho. I feel he'd be a super fun character with this system
Outside of Akuma he's the other character I've always played a little bit of
visual kiln
Them adding Sagat gave me hope
lusty pelican
He’s gonna have a peak outfit redesign
lusty pelican
Gameplay he’s gonna probably still gonna be a gigantic pain in the ass
But with drive rush
visual kiln
God I hope so. I hope he's the real wall jump champ too
lusty pelican
If he keeps the command grab I’ll play him
visual kiln
Which one?
lusty pelican
Idk any
visual kiln
They'll probably give him MORE if anything
You 100% will never get a Vega who doesn't have an izuna drop
visual kiln
Vega can't share a slot with another king
lusty pelican
Who
visual kiln
what
lusty pelican
I’m tired bruh I’m just getting back from work
visual kiln
smh
lusty pelican
Not even a fan Tekkan sucks
visual kiln
Claw is also the nickname for Vega over in JP because of the name switches during the early translations
Nassim's a Claw main lol
It's been rough, seeing players without their mains
visual kiln
You think that shits gonna break like it did in V
I dunno. I think he'll have a gimmick of some kind, but I don't know if they wanna reintroduce that
lusty pelican
That’s true it wouldn’t make sense in a game like 6 where it only takes 2-3 hits anyway
visual kiln
Yeah. Opening drive rush combo puts you in health range of losing your claw at round start lol
That would be wack
Especially because claw has it's own moveset that you can get legit locked out of
lusty pelican
You know what would be cool
Make it like nago in ggst
Really strong but if you overuse it for a cash out or a crutch on neutral and it doesn’t win you the round you get put in disadvantage
Like blood rage
visual kiln
That's actually not a bad idea, especially considering his less than stable mental
lusty pelican
Really big normals, do a lot of damage, new links, but it has durability so he has to use other buttons like kicks to make sure it doesn’t break
Like reverse Jamie drink level
visual kiln
Blood rage would be a better idea tbh. Game design wise, SF6 doesn't feel like a game that wants you to ever "lose" a part of your kit
Or like, get worse over time
lusty pelican
Blood rage you lose all of your kit
visual kiln
That's just a self-stun
lusty pelican
But you get giant normals and a super that does a billion damage
visual kiln
Yeah but that's still gaining something
lusty pelican
That's just a self-stun
Nah you can use it in combos for setups that 2 touch
visual kiln
You know what I mean?
lusty pelican
Yeah idk if irl should be a stun
But he should be able to get it back in the same round if it goes on long enough
Like burnout
visual kiln
Hmmm...
lusty pelican
Would be cool if he like changes archetypes when it broke
Goes from a mid range monster to a grappler
visual kiln
Maybe Vega will be the first character to have 3 bar moves or something like ex-chains
visual kiln
Lily now, technically, too
lusty pelican
What can Lily do
I don’t pay attention to her she’s not in the game
Nobody plays her
visual kiln
She can condor dive twice in a row now
visual kiln
More damage in combos and her DPs
lusty pelican
Getting in wasn’t her problem was it? I thought it was not having like 4 normals
I still think they could have removed wind stocks entirely and she would have stayed bad
visual kiln
I honestly don't know enough about Lily to know where her problems are beyond her binary gameplan
lusty pelican
She has too many requirements that need to be fulfilled in order to play the game
You need stocks, drive, good spacing, your opponent to not have enough drive to reversal out, and super to make sure you do damage
And you need to condition your opponent the entire time so you can start using your command grab
Too much work not enough reward
Especially in a game with Ryu
visual kiln
My man
cyan estuary
I simply cannot go from a 236 to a 214214 that fast
Did sf6 remove the ability to do the 236214 shortcut?
visual kiln
I'm unaware of that shortcut
lusty pelican
Did sf6 remove the ability to do the 236214 shortcut?
no
I dont think any shortcuts have been removed from past games'
lusty pelican
yknow heavy punch uncharged is super cancelable still?
analog patrol
oh thats neat
lusty pelican
on modern its probably pretty crazy
no buffering and its a big ss button that cant be DI'd because you super anyway
analog patrol
@lusty pelican finished it off with an 11 win streak

that was my impression during our fight
lusty pelican
Why finish a combo when grab hurts so much more
He doesn’t get good oki off most things midscreen anyway
Unless it’s od dp or some prowler stance gimmicks
visual kiln
not like he struggles to move around the screen or get in either lol
lusty pelican
I can’t think of a character who does
visual kiln
Every grappler can turn green
i didn't say their feet were cement bro lol
lusty pelican
You did not
visual kiln
but you can't tell me his mobility is not greater than both manon and gief
lusty pelican
I mean he’s not really a grappler either so it makes sense
He’s closer to Marisa
Idk if prowler stance should be that low profiling though
It’s like JPs level 2 being overheads and lows
He don’t need it
visual kiln
what're the odds lol
I didn't know KojiKog was still playing this game
I was just thinking about him earlier when we were talking about Lily's design

The rashid one towards the end is really funny
lusty pelican
@analog patrol you play in the Mr system yet at all
I’m at like 1586 right now and have yet to adjust my gameplan
visual kiln
I think you underestimate how far you've raised your floor since the start, SNO.
But we can always just say Alex is OP
analog patrol
<@701672399833137152> you play in the Mr system yet at all
Yea I went to like 1530 then dropped to like 1470
visual kiln
Well my sagat is 1700 rn so it’s not like I’m skipping all the neutral
Yeah, like I said. You're kinda good
lusty pelican
Yea I went to like 1530 then dropped to like 1470
That’s like 3 games up and down though you’ll get it back
analog patrol
Who knows
lusty pelican
Yeah, like I said. You're kinda good
I think I’ve made people break things with this character
His light chop being a tick throw into heavy command grab is evil
visual kiln
Nothing will tilt a casual player harder than an American grappler reset bro, I promise you
lusty pelican
I’m putting so much American in this Japanese game it’s crazy
visual kiln
There's a reason American resets are both rage inducing and hype as hell
lusty pelican
The character is just built for hype with all the cinametics
If you are playing him that is
visual kiln
too true
I mean you were stomping my ass but I was still enjoying the show
But that's just me
Big grappler fan
lusty pelican
I do like having demon flip
visual kiln
It felt like fighting Akuma if he didn't have a fireball
lusty pelican
And if his command grab actually was scary
visual kiln
+Stance
visual kiln
And if his command grab actually was scary
I've been praying for buffs this whole time bro I can see a vision but they won't let me achieve it
visual kiln
Talking about his command grab
visual kiln
I know he got fireball buffs that's not like, huge to me
analog patrol
im so sick of alex mirrors my GOD
lusty pelican
You gotta just do the funny stuff first
I’ve always liked mirror matches though that might explain why I’ve been having more fun
analog patrol
i absolutely despise mirrors matches in 90% of context
lusty pelican
I think so, it’s also in the videos I sent earlier
visual kiln
I posted that desk vid yesterday lol
visual kiln
I mean... I applaud the focus but you should still scroll a bit more even when you're pinged
lusty pelican
You ask too much
visual kiln
You're like a laser lol
lusty pelican
I was most definitely procrastinating something else at the time
visual kiln
Anyway, yeah I checked it out, but with as resource intensive as it is, I'm gonna have a hard time implementing it into my gameplan.
lusty pelican
Fair
visual kiln
It's nice being able to dump meter in other ways than drive rush combos for damage, for sure tho
But on the other side
It doesn't grant me a new Demon link or anything either
All the pieces coming together slowly
lusty pelican
Does demon do more damage than CA?
visual kiln
Does demon do more damage than CA?
Upfront? Yeah. Depending on the full combo routing? No
lusty pelican
Scalings a bitch
It’s always funny seeing Akuma players whiff a bunch of shit for frame kills after a knockdown for a demon setup
visual kiln
Scalings a bitch
It's not just scaling, it's access. If I wanna combo into Demon I gotta only keep you on the ground. If he had a restand or an OTG to bounce people up it would be a much better option
The same for not being able to cancel into Ashura Senku, despite it not having any vulnerability, and depending on who i'm fighting's walk speed, might be less than useful lol
They feel just a bit disconnected in his kit
just a bit 🤏
Didn't start out that way, but that's how it's starting to feel as they've changed him since launch
lusty pelican
Yeah I imagine demon and his command grab aren’t that useful right know, but I also understand their hesitation to buff the character who’s other tools are already top class
They don’t want another ryu situation
visual kiln
I understand the hesitation as well, but also 
If you aren't, gimme 10k health bro because this ain't feeling like a strength anymore lol
lusty pelican
Im gonna be real chief with the damage in this game 10k heath would not change much
It’s fun to clown on Akuma 9k health but it really doesn’t do that much
I was honestly hoping for like a 15% universal damage reduction in the latest patch
Or at least up the scaling on counterhits
Too much random shit does way to much damage
visual kiln
Well, that's my point though?
Starting every single round basically a throw's worth of damage down, you do feel it
I don't mind high damage, but I don't think Akuma has the strengths to offset that kind of drawback anymore
lusty pelican
@analog patrol https://vxtwitter.com/i/status/2036255117700374633
I feel there’s a running theme with Alex where people find some new shit and I’m just like “why does he have this”
Bro was in development for how long and they didn’t catch that?
analog patrol
<@701672399833137152> https://vxtwitter.com/i/status/2036255117700374633
I…
Idek what to say
lusty pelican
Welcome to street fighter 6
Y’know what this reminds me of
Og Overwatch 2
Before marvel rivals came out
There’s no competition for sf6 right now so they don’t feel inclined to release new skins or listen to the playerbase because it’s still gonna clear tekken and mk1
And yeah it’s a good game but it’s clear they aren’t being pushed to make big changes
lusty pelican
THROW LOOPS LETS GOOO
It’s a little worse then the usual because he can’t block in prowler stance, so anything invincible blows him up
But yeah still a loop if you respect it
lusty pelican
@analog patrol I hit 1600 with Alex
analog patrol
<@701672399833137152> I hit 1600 with Alex
hell yea nice
analog patrol
ive done nothing but fall today so yayyyyyyyy
maybe im just not built for this game man
i always feel so motivated to get on then just like get shit on
like dude i dropped to fucking 1430
my GOD
yea just idk
i feel no improvement even across characters
i just rlly suck and its frustrating esp being teased so much upon it though i think its funny in the moment
visual kiln
<@701672399833137152> https://vxtwitter.com/i/status/2036255117700374633
Gief has a throw like this too
lusty pelican
ive done nothing but fall today so yayyyyyyyy
Ok bruh imma check your replays again, you gotta stop letting yourself get in the way of improvement
I’m not gonna look for execution but how you play when things don’t immediately go your way
analog patrol
i hold up too much i think
lusty pelican
That’s issue one, you don’t check your own replays
How will you improve if you can’t see how you play
analog patrol
true\
lusty pelican
Issue 2 is mental, who has ever improved from saying they do nothing but fail
You put too much of yourself into mr
Mr means nothing
analog patrol
yea thats why im quitting ranked for a while
i cant play ranked and not care abt mr it just doesnt work, so im just not gonna for a while
its not healthy and makes me hate sf
so im just not gonna
lusty pelican
I have only ever uninstalled sf because of ranked
analog patrol
lobbies are plenty of fun anyway
lusty pelican
That’s 90% of people’s reasons for stopping
Ranked isn’t healthy, improvement comes from playing and not whether you are 15-1600
I’ve fought some shitty 1700 players who just put all their time into ranked
I’ve fought some really good diamond players who just play customs as well
visual kiln
I'll take a night with SNO over a week of ranked for improvement any day tbh
Really it's about how you treat ranked more than ranked as it exists on it's own.
If you don't mind a small flex from me for a bit. I'm a fucking actual demon in Rematch. To me there's no real difference between a Ranked/Casual/Custom. The game/round/match is the same, and in the moment. And I use every moment in those games to practice, implement, and improve my game, bit by bit.

if i were an alex main i'd be fishing for OWB finishers always

that was hype as fuck tbh
i didn't know mai's lvl1 counted as a projectile
lusty pelican
Mai level one is unironically one of the stupidest supers in the game so it’s nice that there’s counterplay with Alex
lusty pelican
i fucking love neutral raaahhhh
visual kiln
opaque musk
Just sending these so I remember how to do these
lusty pelican
Those are sick
I feel like viper and chun make the most sense to be played on modern just because they have such high execution
Makes it easier to focus on fundamentals when you don’t have to destroy your hands for a bnb
opaque musk
Those are sick
Yeah, I figured some stuff out early on but I redownloaded the game and couldn't remember anything lmfao
The only combo that I have engraved into my psyche is Chun-Li's bnb.
I can do that shit with my eyes closed.

<@432678092536938496> <@128595800837062657> Yo Alex is 🔥
Yeah he’s the only character I’ve played since he came out
Not because I don’t want to play anymore else, but because he’s the only character I can play on hitbox rn
opaque musk
Yo Manon got some good shit in modern now
analog patrol
@lusty pelican how the fuck do you beat sagat
im so tired of this ignorant ass character man
lusty pelican
<@432678092536938496> how the fuck do you beat sagat
What are you struggling with
opaque musk
Why the fuck is Alex plus on everything
opaque musk
Maybe I shouldn’t try to use Manon against Alex or anyone for that matter.
This bitch sucks. And that sucks.

The music variety is too peak

this makes me very happy
you need to make Johnny's VA back to JP
you're not getting full power Mist Finer without CELL saying it

you're not getting full power Mist Finer without CELL saying it
That’s true but I like the cadence of his English Va
It feels so out of place in a game like this and it’s very funny

lol true. I do love Liam either way, no knocks against him
just can't compare to a legend

The first Vs Chipp match up comments were killin me bro I love the GG community
https://youtu.be/uuxnQdRu4jc
analog patrol
@visual kiln @lusty pelican they took my main out back and shot them
for GG
like testament might be unplayable until they hotfix and compensation buff them
why did we get not only actual nerfs but various shadow nerfs on a character that was bottom 4 pre 2.0

So the only part of this that looks intentional is the Hs grave reaper stuff
Reading through the patch notes they ment to decrease the frame data and launch angle of HS grave reaper so it wasn’t a plus on block launcher
The rest looked like they were meant to be buffs but they didn’t implement them that well
I know the point of this entire patch was the lower the overall power level of they game but they might have overdone it for a few characters
Asuka, HC, and Testament being the worst hit
Sin also got hit decently
lusty pelican
@visual kiln has this always been possible
analog patrol
Reading through the patch notes they ment to decrease the frame data and launch ...
Ngl though make it either minus or not a launcher
Not both like they did
analog patrol
Asuka, HC, and Testament being the worst hit
ABA got hit rlly rlly hard
lusty pelican
@analog patrol Diamond in ggst is legit worse than diamond in sf6

@lusty pelican testament is so cool i wish they didnt suck ass, im loving them though look at this badass combo into optimal oki
lusty pelican
<@432678092536938496> testament is so cool i wish they didnt suck ass, im loving...
The combo was pretty cool, I think the oki part got cut out at the end tho

oh yeah I love the J.h J.d 236H setups
I'm glad that combo lived through the patch

Try it
It’s a deep ahh safejump it doesn’t even look real
+10 jump in
lusty pelican
@analog patrol general idea I just came up with. I do S.Hs after the J.H because its 13 frames and you are +10, because they changed all the fastest normals in the game to 5 frames there enough of a gap where you wont accidently get a true blockstring with C.s
lusty pelican
as for pressure after idk you'll know more about that then me

ohhh i see i see

But seriously
If we seriously get to have Tifa, Chun-Li, Kimberly, Manon, Cammy, Mai honestly just fuck the street fight twin I wanna see a twerk off already

What does that mean
If I were to choose the next collab for SF I’d be Ivy Valentine
She’d be worse than JP
Lowkey I think the SF character I’ve always had an attraction to (not freaky but gameplay wise) has been Manon but she’s so god damned fucking awful I can’t be arsed.
