SNK Matchmaking

[autumn ibex]

And yeah I figured it’d be faster but I got like…6 sets an hour during the beta which was decent

[elfin ice]

SF6 I don't wait more than 30 seconds for a match on a bad day

[smoky comet]

Pretty regular, tbh. I don't usually have to wait longer than a couple minutes at most

[autumn ibex]

I should specify about the wifi comment, that’s for ranked I can deal with it for casual matches

[autumn ibex]

Good to hear thanks! I need to mix in some ranked just so I’m playing complete randoms as well as the usual suspects

[covert torrent]

I finally get champion rank then

I'm tired of looking at my rank 29 now lmao

[sand furnace]

Should be quite easy for you

[covert torrent]

I'll only play a wifi warrior if I know them if it's a random I'm gonna have to pass

[autumn ibex]

That’s that’s what I mean zero good point

Reading all the freak outs over the SF6 wifi indicator was high key hilarious

[covert torrent]

It exposed so many people lmao

[smoky comet]

Tbh, there's no reason you can't get that Champion rank. Unless you wanna enter another rookie tournament, but those are beneath you at this point imo

[covert torrent]

I doubt I'd be entering any other kof beginner tournament so it be nice to enter some actual tournaments

[timid dawn]

@fossil burrow I gotta make this my last set bro

[fossil burrow]

good call

[timid dawn]

||be on later tho if u wanna SF6||

[fossil burrow]

[timid dawn]

[fossil burrow]

[timid dawn]

Dino

[fossil burrow]

well that mu is tough too, but i could have had him survive longer lol

i did pick up dino

[timid dawn]

Yeah Dino is so cool, but I don't feel that way about Clark.

Wonder why...

[fossil burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/vortex-clouds-sky-gif-14924221

[sand furnace]

Let’s go Dylan

Ft10?

[sharp yew]

Hol up lemme beat up thus chump on ranked rq

[sand furnace]

290579 when you’re ready

[sharp yew]

Nevermind, that was the laggiest whip I'd ever fought

[sand furnace]

You coming?

Dyl just flaked on me. Well time to walk the dog then

[sharp yew]

Sorry, I had to walk my dog and now my dad wants me to do dishes

[sand furnace]

Okay no worries. Next time

[sharp yew]

He does this all the time😔
I sit down to play something, and he gives me a whole list of things to do

Sorry broski

[sand furnace]

You good. Go beat up raitguy later instead

[sharp yew]

Ok I'm back

@elfin ice you on rn?

[drowsy silo]

I’ll play

[sharp yew]

Bet

940693 @drowsy silo

[drowsy silo]

Hold up

Hold on I need to put Ethernet

[sharp yew]

Ok

Brb, gotta grab groceries

[drowsy silo]

Bet

Actually I think I’m done playing ggs

[sharp yew]

Ggs

Yeah I gotta be done too, I thought I had more time, but I do not

[drowsy silo]

[elfin ice]

ducking me Dyl I was ready! 🤣

[sharp yew]

Lmao, that just gives you more prep time

[grim talon]

Ah hell naw

[timid dawn]

I was lying

[grim talon]

Stop playing games with me bro

This shit aint a game!

[timid dawn]

It is a game

I’ll hop in on there when there’s actually an incentive for me to

[grave summit]

<@&1057859264267436092> Can anyone help me figure out how good or bad i am? Lol

I've only played online twice before, both times with champions, so i didn't really learn much

[sand furnace]

@elfin ice is our resident test

Looks like @sharp yew is online?

[tight moon]

How much do you know about KOF?

[grave summit]

I think a good amount but not that much

I've played a lot of them but always by myself against the standard cpu, i only started trying to learn with XV

[sharp yew]

I wish I was online rn😔
Boss called me in tonight on my day off because of how short staffed we are smh

[tight moon]

We can play if you're interested

[grave summit]

Sure! Right now or later?

[tight moon]

I can do either or

[grave summit]

Then rn is ok? I'll make a room

[tight moon]

alright

[grave summit]

416165

[sand furnace]

I can try to play later with you tonite when I get home if you are free

[grave summit]

That'd be great! Thank you

[sand furnace]

Who’s your team?

How new are you to 15?

[grave summit]

Like a month and a half, i think

[grave summit]

For now, Kyo, Kim and Sylvie

I think i figured out that i am, indeed, not very good lol

[covert torrent]

Another Kim enjoyer

[sand furnace]

Those are all strong characters!

[grave summit]

Yaaaaass, best boi

[grave summit]

In the right hands lol

[sand furnace]

We’ll see later when we play what your level is but if you are beginner, I hope you stick around and train with people here, you’ll level up fast!

[grave summit]

Yup, i'm on baby level, but it's been fun even while losing, so i'll stick around and see if i can learn

[smoky comet]

Likely better than at least me. Welcome.

[sand furnace]

You def got the right attitude! Btw did you discover this server from a reddit invite?

[grave summit]

Yup, a reddit post

[sand furnace]

That’s likely from me! Yay!

Btw I’m learning Sylvie as well so we can learn her together! @covert torrent can teach you Kim and @spark valley and @timid dawn can teach you kyo

@smoky comet plays Sylvie as well!

[spark valley]

My Kyo wack

[smoky comet]

I have nothing to teach that Waffle likely doesn't already know

[grave summit]

I already knew that i was bad but, after these matches with Breaker, i see that i most likely am worse than you, sir

[smoky comet]

I don't know you. I don't know your level

[sand furnace]

What rank was breaker?

[smoky comet]

But I do know that someone did earlier this week change order after beating me too hard

To make things "more interesting"

[grave summit]

It doesn't show, i think

@smoky comet let's play sometime, then!

@tight moon what rank are you, btw?

[tight moon]

I don't play rank, but the last time I played I reached 22

i only played ranked like 2 times to test stuff for snk loool

[grave summit]

Whot lol

[sand furnace]

You’re also rank 28 which is higher than most people here

[smoky comet]

Most are Champion rank, yourself included

[simple axle]

I'm not

I think 28 is really high

[covert torrent]

I just got rank 30

[smoky comet]

Smoke, Bubbles, Oli, Luna, Daru, Mac, Tiago, Jalen, Zero is not but may as well be. Cherry is not but may as well be.

Tricky was but left

[grave summit]

I mean, if you're that bad in comparison to the rest and are rank 28, i probably shouldn't be here yet loool

[drowsy silo]

Trip

[sand furnace]

No don’t listen to him. There are are tons of beginners and intermediate as well. And the vibe is casual as people will teach you instead of matching and leaving

[smoky comet]

Rank means nothing. I'm s paper tiger

[sand furnace]

This is not the type of server where people beat up newcomers for fun

Which is most other KoF servers

[sand furnace]

Lou here just have these occasional moods where he’s hard on himself

[simple axle]

Are the other KOF servers really that rough?

[grave summit]

No worries, as i said, it's been fun all the same, i don't mind losing, and i've only played with one person so far

[simple axle]

They'll treat you pretty nice here and it's pretty easy to get feedback

[sand furnace]

Yeah the vibes are more competitive instead of being a community

[sand furnace]

And Tyler is an example of someone who leveled up playing here

Everyone here started at low level

We just help each other get better

[tight moon]

They are if you're new to the game

[smoky comet]

You'll learn a lot from most people here

[tight moon]

but that's a byproduct of several things, not just one thing

[grave summit]

I'm optimist about this, i sometimes, too, joke too much about being bad and all, but i honestly don't lose spirit over losing

@tight moon gotta go make dinner, thanks for playing with me!

[tight moon]

ggs

are you open to advice

[grave summit]

Yes, hit me

I did realize i fcked up a lot lol

[sand furnace]

We have #1049832371895152700

[grave summit]

I hit the autocombo on accident like 7 times

[grave summit]

@sand furnace in the end Breaker didn't say anything but i did play really poorly. If we do play later, i'd really appreciate criticism, even if we play just for fun

[sand furnace]

Will do! I should be available in around 90 min or so!

[grave summit]

Nice! Looking forward to it!

[covert torrent]

I might be able to play tonight as well so if you want some Kim tips I'd be more than happy to help

[grave summit]

That'd be great!

[elfin ice]

We need a benchmark match? lol

[sand furnace]

Yes and it’s you

[sand furnace]

Play against @grave summit now!

[elfin ice]

gimme a sec to get on my computer.... let's do it

[sand furnace]

Seems like they are new

[elfin ice]

Let me get my excuses for losing out of the way
I didn't warm up, not using my main team 😅

[grave summit]

Lol

It's fine, i can almost guarantee you'll win

[elfin ice]

Ok I'm ready, do you have a room?

[sand furnace]

Waffle uses Kim that’s your excuse

[elfin ice]

welp definitely no Maxima then lol

[grave summit]

169823

Sorry, i was checking some stuff

[elfin ice]

No ranked record, I'm really scared now lol

[spark valley]

Trying Krohnen out online

[grave summit]

@elfin ice as i said before, baby level

[elfin ice]

Kyo was beating me bad so I had to andy elbow spam

[grave summit]

Lol

[elfin ice]

you have the combos lol

the rushdown Kyo is taking my lunch money

[grave summit]

Damn, i'm failing the Kim gods

[elfin ice]

you got that Kim combo off on me tho lol

[grave summit]

Small victory

I'll take it lol

I swear i have a great personality

@elfin ice so, your thoughts?

[elfin ice]

you're closer than you think to destroying me

you have the moves, but you're so aggressive I just throw moves in the air and you run into them

[grave summit]

I mean, if you say so, i'll keep that in mind

[grave summit]

I'll keep this in mind, too

[elfin ice]

This is how I played most of season 1 lol

[grave summit]

If i'm completely honest, at points i get nervous and start mashing lol

[elfin ice]

you're actually helping me here. I'm learning to be patient

[grave summit]

Well, at least i'm doing something

[elfin ice]

More matches under your belt gets the nerves out. I think you'll beat me soon

That Heidern jump C crossup is nasty

Ok I slipped in one of my mains this time. My ego will be crushed... lol

[grave summit]

I can't seem to punish moves that i block correctly

Any tips?

[elfin ice]

Any in particular?

[grave summit]

Specials, for example

[elfin ice]

I'm trying to use moves that are fairly safe, another thing I'm working on

[grave summit]

I blocked a few before, but i can't punish any of them

[elfin ice]

In fact I should use King with you... I leave myself wide open after trying a Tornado Kick. A bad habit I'm trying to kick

[grave summit]

King is my nightmare lol

[elfin ice]

I'll tell you what, I'll pick characters and do moves that are reckless

[grave summit]

No no

This is fine

[elfin ice]

ok

no King

[grave summit]

Go for it, it's okay

[elfin ice]

about to get the dub?

[grave summit]

Nope lol

[elfin ice]

I'm not good with any of these characters have at it. Punish K'

[grave summit]

One thing

[grave summit]

Noooo

C'mon

[elfin ice]

Im going to try

[grave summit]

I taunted

I'm done lol

[elfin ice]

ok no problem

[sand furnace]

@grave summit I’m home. I can play in 15 min if you want

[grave summit]

Sure

[sand furnace]

Looks like you’re having fun with raitguy though

How did you like raitguy as an opponent?

[grave summit]

All positives

[elfin ice]

I'm trying to tone down the trolling lol

[grave summit]

I mean, i'd like a break from fire balls but all's fair lol

[elfin ice]

I play gimmicky

ok no more fireballers after this

[grave summit]

It's no problem

[elfin ice]

I have no idea what I'm doing with her

[grave summit]

I keep doing orochinagi in between rekkas

[simple axle]

I'm here to invade for a game

[elfin ice]

@simple axle all yours

[simple axle]

I'm on a B team in progress

[grave summit]

Be gentle

Lol

[simple axle]

If I get folded like origami I swear

[grave summit]

No, really, i beg of you, be gentle

[elfin ice]

idk that Kyo is dangerous 😄

ayo that Ramon is CRACKED

[simple axle]

Ramón is one of the coolest characters I've ever played

[sand furnace]

@grave summit looks like you enough people playing with you for now, so I’ll eat dinner and see if you’re still free later and still want to play

[elfin ice]

I'm itching to run away so come on when you're ready lol

[sand furnace]

Tyler is there

[elfin ice]

Waffle's getting a dub on me soon 😂

we got advanced combos too!

[grave summit]

I wanna thank my agent

And a hug lol

[covert torrent]

You running the gauntlet @grave summit lmao

[sand furnace]

Welcome to the server moment

[grave summit]

I won 1, i can die now lol

[grave summit]

Lol

[simple axle]

You want the main team before I go?

[grave summit]

Yup

[grave summit]

I'm probably gonna take a break after this, so send me a message if you still want to play later!

[sand furnace]

Let’s play an hour from now

[grave summit]

Okay!

Beaten by Shingo is an honor

[simple axle]

GGs

[grave summit]

Ggs

[elfin ice]

ggs!

[grave summit]

Thank you both, i had a lot of fun!

[elfin ice]

I'm glad you did, you're going to be dangerous

[grave summit]

I can dream lol

Thanks!

[simple axle]

Your team is very dangerous, the second you become a dangerous player you'll be a weapon of mass destruction

[sand furnace]

@grave summit I’m ready to play now

[grave summit]

@sand furnace hey! Sorry, something came up

[sand furnace]

No worries. Still interested in playing?

[grave summit]

Yeah!

[sand furnace]

Okay let me set up room!

[grave summit]

Idk how much time i have before i get called again but it should be some solid 30-40 minutes

Is that enough?

[sand furnace]

Should be more than enough 420935

I’m about ready for bed anyways after this. Are you in NA?

[grave summit]

I think so, yeah

South America is the same server, right?

[sand furnace]

Close enough haha. Which country are you from?

[grave summit]

Chile

Isla fan lol

[sand furnace]

Nice we have someone from SA here. @quick aspen is from Brazil!

[grave summit]

Hey! That's awesome!

[sand furnace]

You play like @elfin ice

[grave summit]

How so?

[sand furnace]

All offsense

[unreal wadi]

Hello everyone!

[sand furnace]

What’s up man

[grave summit]

Pretty much, yeah lol

[sand furnace]

That’s okay, we can correct that 🙂

Funny ending

[grave summit]

Yeah

Was a win in my heart lol

I tried playing more defensive there

[sand furnace]

True! You’ll get there!

Let me switch up some characters

I’m learning Sylvie too

[grave summit]

Oh no, Sylvie

Can i ask for a small favor?

[sand furnace]

Sure

[grave summit]

Could you put Meiten as point?

[sand furnace]

Okay, how come?

I use him anchor usually

But I’ll use him point against you

[grave summit]

I've always wanted to learn how to use him but never got the hang of it, so it would be really insightful to see you use him

[sand furnace]

Okay

[grave summit]

But i don't think i'll reach the anchor lol

[sand furnace]

I can teach you Meiten. He’s my main

I’m better with him at anchor though

[grave summit]

I'd really appreciate it

[sand furnace]

Since I use his supers a lot

[grave summit]

Any insight is good, and as i thought, i wouldn't reach the anchor lol

Got the call

[sand furnace]

Okay no worries! Ggs!

[grave summit]

Gotta go finish work, sadly, being an adult sucks

[sand furnace]

Totally understand! We can chat tomorrow!

You murdered Meiten in that second game

[grave summit]

GGs!

I redeemed myself to Kim lol

[grave summit]

Looking forward to it! I had a lot of fun, i really mean it!

[sand furnace]

Appreciate it! I’ll teach you Meiten! And maybe share some Sylvie insights too though you have the combos for her already!

[sharp yew]

Aw man, I missed the new member welcome matches😭

Since I'm late though, welcome and welcome to le server

[unreal wadi]

Welcome!

[sand furnace]

I’m trying to remember, are you from SA as well?

[unreal wadi]

SA?

I am Dominican.

[sand furnace]

South America! But I see your not!

So only luna and waffle are from South America

[smoky comet]

Waffle still running the new server member gamut, I see?

[sand furnace]

After playing waffle, I can most definitely say you are better than him. But waffle has a lot of potential

[smoky comet]

Idk if that's the case until we do a 1v1

I don't doubt he has a lot of potential

But I can imagine his neutral is likely better

[sand furnace]

He doesn’t. That’s the area he needs to improve on the most. He plays like raitguy. Constantly going for offense

[smoky comet]

We'll see

@grave summit let's do a set later today

[sand furnace]

He’s consistent with combos though once he gets a hit which is really good

But he will throw out specials in neutral and leave himself open for punish which is a bad thing

[simple axle]

Sounds like me, I respect it

[elfin ice]

Yeah Waffle has the execution down, it's just the when. Reminds me a lot of me except I don't have the execution lol

[sand furnace]

He actually does sound like you when you started but your neutral is much much better now

[simple axle]

I'd be probably better if I only played 3 characters but I like a lot of them so I play a lot of them

But it's good to hear that my neutral has improved

[sand furnace]

Concentrating on 3 characters makes you better with them instead of spreading yourself thin

Learning other characters does help with matchup knowledge though so you won’t get knowledge checked as much

[simple axle]

It's mostly just how I have fun

I have the attention span of a squirrel

[simple axle]

<@&1057859264267436092> I'm messing around with a new team

[timid dawn]

What’s the team

[simple axle]

Rock, Ramón, Isla

Had a very STRONG pull to make a team with characters I liked but not enough to move around my main team

[timid dawn]

Yeah it’s cool bro that’s why u can have many teams

@simple axle so when we gonna ft10

||skullgirls||

L me

U saw it didn’t u

[simple axle]

I only have it on PC

I keep missing the sales

[timid dawn]

No crossplay?

I don’t own the game anywhere

[simple axle]

Not yet

[covert torrent]

Surprisingly no

[timid dawn]

I could buy it anywhere

[simple axle]

It's on sale for like 5 bucks I think right now

[covert torrent]

You still looking tyler or did you already find a match?

[simple axle]

On steam

I am still looking

[timid dawn]

I think I do have it on PS I think. I could grab on steam tho

[covert torrent]

Ok I can boot up right now then

[simple axle]

I probably got time for like a FT5 then I gotta make lunch

[covert torrent]

Fine with me

[simple axle]

This adult shit is lame I tell you

[timid dawn]

Turn back time then

[simple axle]

I wish, I'd tell my family to become landlords

670369

[timid dawn]

||I would defeat the head of my family and prevent both my exile, and the rise of a tyrannical monarchy||

[simple axle]

I just wish food would cook itself

That would be great

For you I'm using my main team though Zero

[timid dawn]

Nah bro don’t fold

[simple axle]

Nah I gotta fold for Zero

He an animal

[timid dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/tiger-roar-gif-11804661

[sand furnace]

Hope you read what I wrote for zero’s team

[simple axle]

Here's on an alt rn

He is no longer on an alt

Was that FT3?

[covert torrent]

Yeah

You had to FT9 I believe for a FT5

[simple axle]

Okay

I thought it was still set to that

Well GGs

[covert torrent]

Do you know why those sweeps hit you so much Tyler?

[simple axle]

I didn't think I got hit by many sweeps that game

I at least literally didn't notice them

[covert torrent]

I hit you with same frame traps 3-4 times with Kim while Isla was in the corner

[simple axle]

Oh, I tried to DP so many times there

[covert torrent]

And every time I didn't go for it you pressed 5A because you still are anticipating the jump still instead of reacting

It's good that your looking for the jump

[simple axle]

Oh I was more or less trying to just have a hit box out I should say

Since a lot of people say light buttons have low recovery

And I try to only press it once

[covert torrent]

You pressed it at least 3 times in that situation

[simple axle]

In that frame trap? Not me trying to EX or something like that?

Well I'll take your word for it regardless

[covert torrent]

I can't tell what you exactly pressed but from the interaction earlier in the set I can just assume you pressed 5A

[simple axle]

I mean I'm just about to slap this shit in an air fryer if you want to go once more

[autumn ibex]

Hey don’t worry about this we’re the fun cool server. Welcome aboard

[simple axle]

And I'll keep it in mind, I just gotta check the food in like 20 minutes

[autumn ibex]

[autumn ibex]

I’ve heard bad stuff about the main server, mostly Smurfs and people berating new players. The FT10 server is pretty welcoming as long as we have the right attitude but it’s very much get a set and say our ggs

The boomer server is full of all types of levels and they have a zero tolerance policy for toxicity

[simple axle]

@covert torrent did you want to go again?

[autumn ibex]

It’s the most like this one imo

[covert torrent]

Sure why not lol

[simple axle]

I see, I pretty much only interact with this server. When I feel like I'm doing buns I'll go to one of the beginner servers to get a handle again

It is a another FT3

224112

I don't ever go to rough up anyone since when I'm there I still tend to actually lose

[autumn ibex]

This is definitely one of the best ones

[drowsy silo]

Hi smoke

I’m waiting on the isla tech

[simple axle]

I definitely don't think I can react to hops. It's so hard for me

[drowsy silo]

I don’t think you’re suppose to react up hops tbh I could be wrong

I try to and I’m slightly off and get smoked as oppose to preemptively checking for it

@timid dawn @autumn ibex

[simple axle]

That's always what I thought you were supposed to do

Since I tend to get guard broken looking for them

Apparently

[covert torrent]

The thing about preemptively trying to stop a hop is that if someone knows they're just gonna keep frame trapping you

Which leads to said guards because you are to focused on trying to stop that hop

[autumn ibex]

We can if the spacing is right but it’s still a gamble because if we’re mid screen and press 5A to check a hop but they went for super jump cross up it could be a bad time

[simple axle]

I'm not on Adderall or 12, so then hops are just so damn quick. So it's hard to block and keep looking out for them

[autumn ibex]

5A is good if the opponent is spamming hops

[autumn ibex]

You only have to look for them when you’re within hop range. This is part of the reason why you see high level players back off and reset neutral so often

[drowsy silo]

What are the ranges is there a diagram or sum

[autumn ibex]

Not that I know of. It’s like…close but not close enough that a standing attack would connect it that makes sense

[simple axle]

I'm in hop range, like in the corner

[autumn ibex]

To add to this, the thing about trying to preemptively stop hops (or poke out of every single pressure) is that it makes the player super predictable and easy to bait

This is one thing I notice with people who primarily play SF they try and AA and poke every single thing and it makes it easy to get them to overextend

And no shade to SF, I’ve been loving that game. But a LOT of stuff has started to make sense after playing 6 for the last month, like I can tell when someone has a background in SF

[autumn ibex]

Thanks for bringing this up because in the corner it becomes a bit safer to check hops with 5A. Although tbh this is when you’ll see a lot of players start full jumping because a lot of DP’s whiff in the corner same with vertical buttons like 2C

[autumn ibex]

Cross up > yolo swag > that man has a family > 60%

[simple axle]

One sec I gotta flip this chicken

[covert torrent]

See I reacted to that hop Tyler

It can be done lmao

[simple axle]

No actually wait a bit I gotta clean the pan

What's the relationship between these 2 anyways

[covert torrent]

No clue

The only KOF lore I know are the characters I like lmao

[simple axle]

Damn I tried to block a cross up there

Am I supposed to react to the animation?

[sand furnace]

Don’t. Roll forward if you see him jumping. I gave you the notes man!

After Heidern command grab, he always goes for the crossup mix

[simple axle]

The special

[covert torrent]

Far C is special cancelable with Isla

[simple axle]

Yeah I know about it

[covert torrent]

It's one of her important buttons

[simple axle]

I definitely only picked up last night,

I'm gonna eat

I'll be back in like 20 if you want to continue

For a new team it ain't terrible at least

[covert torrent]

I'm probably gonna go eat myself

[simple axle]

That's mainly why I'm not really worried about how I do I'm just trying to feel out positions

I'll definitely figure out Isla at some point, as I just keep playing the team. I learned like light confirm, light EX confirm, then the same for heavy confirms and called it a day

[covert torrent]

I hate being rusty with geese lmao

[simple axle]

Also side note, I definitely have been gripped out of my forward roll by the command grab

It was a hard read I get that, but it just leads to a very similar situation

[sand furnace]

Yes that’s why see if he’s jumping first

[simple axle]

No he did jump I rolled and he gripped me

[sand furnace]

Okay then he did a hard read

[autumn ibex]

Then he was too far away to cross you up

[simple axle]

I need that damn chart of jump arcs

I still don't know them

Like on a sight read at least

[autumn ibex]

There’s an audio cue for super jumps

[simple axle]

Is it only super jumps that cross up

[autumn ibex]

No

[simple axle]

Hmm

I'm not gonna worry about it specifically today, because I know I'll give myself a migraine just trying to figure everything out at once.

I have definitely rolled in the Heid set up

So that's at least something

[unreal wadi]

Most crossups it's all about timing.

[simple axle]

That's exactly how I feel with Ramón believe it or not.

[unreal wadi]

Timing and setup*

You just can't do it willy nilly.

[simple axle]

<@&1057859264267436092>

[smoky comet]

Sure

[simple axle]

I think I'm out of my lab phase and into my learn by losing phase

As in I just want to play

You wanna make a room

[smoky comet]

Sure

439059

[sand furnace]

Streaming?

I wanna watch the rematch

With Sylvie now of course

[smoky comet]

Only if there's a high demand

My streams don't save, unfortunately

[simple axle]

I can steam

Full stomach and all

I am ready

[sand furnace]

Thanks!

[sand furnace]

Did this happen?

[simple axle]

Yeah

Hen-ty1er

[elfin ice]

https://www.twitch.tv/hen_ty1er

[simple axle]

Yeah he's got it

Thanks Rait

[smoky comet]

I am TRAGICALLY bad

TRAGICALLY

[simple axle]

These games are quite close

[smoky comet]

LOL

No, no they arent

I keep losing to Shingo

[sand furnace]

4-3 seems close to me

[smoky comet]

Yeah I had him beat with gimmicks for 3 matches

[sand furnace]

There’s always two sides to the equation. Instead of saying you’re bad, note that Tyler is good

[smoky comet]

Are you not watching these matches now?

I SUCK

[sand furnace]

I just saw the last 2 matches

[smoky comet]

All you have to do to avoid getting hit is block low

[simple axle]

You were doing really well at the start brother

[smoky comet]

So you know I'm trash

[sand furnace]

Again instead of saying you’re bad. Acknowledge how much Tyler has improved and become better then strive to figure out how to beat him

[smoky comet]

No, I used gimmicks at the start

And you adapted

[elfin ice]

I need to find this music playing now

I'm assuming from Maximum Impact?

[simple axle]

They worked though, that's Shingo

[smoky comet]

And then I couldn't adapt because I have fucking hummus for brains

[sand furnace]

Yes he adapted so you need to adapt back

[simple axle]

I got it on random

[smoky comet]

You don't think I tried?

You don't think I kept saying to myself to block low?

[sand furnace]

Play more with the goal to figure it out instead of winning

[simple axle]

I didn't adept first try Lou

[elfin ice]

I'll find it

[simple axle]

This song is pretty heat Rait, if you find it tell me

[smoky comet]

You don't think I tried to figure out how to avoid making my fucking jumps that readable?

[sand furnace]

Don’t get frustrated. Play more

You can even request just to do 1v1 versus Tyler’s Shingo

Don’t get frustrated

[smoky comet]

I haven't won a set in months

[sand furnace]

Again if you say you are bad, then you are ignoring Tyler’s improvements

[smoky comet]

Months

[simple axle]

I'm in the middle with my improvements, my 2 mains I'm kinda content with them almost

[sand furnace]

That just meant you stagnated while Tyler improved

[smoky comet]

AGAIN

FOR THOSE IN THE FUCKING BACK

I SUCK

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING GARVAGE DEFENSE

FUCKING

HUMILIATING

[simple axle]

Pal, it's alright to stagnate though

[smoky comet]

No

No it is fucking bot

[simple axle]

Especially if you were playing a different game

[smoky comet]

When I've been working this much the past month, no, no it is not

[smoky comet]

What other game was I playing?

[simple axle]

The WWE one right?

[smoky comet]

I've literally just been playing this for months

Aew was broken

So I havent

Just been back to back OCVd

[simple axle]

Oh I thought you were playing that for like a month though, my B

[smoky comet]

Apologize to all these newbies for saying I'm better than them, Oliver

[simple axle]

It ain't bad to stagnate at all, you just gotta find what's keeping you.

And you certainly ain't bad

[smoky comet]

I am if I can't adapt

Which I am not

Can't even punish a fucking DP

I FUCKING SUCK

[simple axle]

Holy what was that damage

[smoky comet]

Ggs

Sorry I'm such a trash opponent

[simple axle]

GGs, I'ma tell you I don't think you did poorly

As the guy who gets hit with the OCVs from a lot of other people here.

Don't @ people for me

Please

[smoky comet]

I mean, are you done playing?

Or no?

[simple axle]

I'm running ranked with my sub team to fall down some

[smoky comet]

If im going to leave I at least feel it's my responsibility to have my place filled

[elfin ice]

I can't find the song and I forgot how it sounds already 🤣

[smoky comet]

@grave summit lemme know when you want me to lose to you

[elfin ice]

Waffle don't fall into the trap, he will hurt you 🤣🤣

Lou come fight me

I'm calling you out! @smoky comet 😀

[smoky comet]

439059

[elfin ice]

oh crap what have I done lol

[grave summit]

Here i am, sorry, i was eating

[smoky comet]

Gimme a sec

[grave summit]

No worries

[smoky comet]

Inedd to lose to raitguy

[elfin ice]

stop

[drowsy silo]

@simple axle what’s your main team

Ramon and isla rock?

[simple axle]

No that's my second

[smoky comet]

@elfin ice sorry to cut this short, I need to fight waffle

[simple axle]

My main rn is Yamazki, Shingo, Joe

[elfin ice]

all good I need to step away anyway

[drowsy silo]

Oh ok

[grave summit]

@elfin ice wait, don't leave me here alone, i'm scared

[smoky comet]

You'll win

Don't sweat it

[sand furnace]

Did Lou win?

[drowsy silo]

https://tenor.com/view/shagarita-shalymar-shalymar-rivera-shalymar-rivera-gonzalez-shaly-rivera-gonzalez-gif-23747552

Counting yourself out already?

[elfin ice]

of course I got clarked and shermied. I stole 1

[sand furnace]

Then Lou just invalidated what he said earlier

[elfin ice]

It's not the total asskicking domination it would've been if he had Dolores lol

But he still won

[sand furnace]

He used Clark Shermie Sylvie?

[elfin ice]

no sylvie I forgot who the third was

[sand furnace]

Athena?

[elfin ice]

no

[sharp yew]

<@&1057859264267436092> taking a break from fatal fury to play some kof

[smoky comet]

Orochi Yashiro

[elfin ice]

yeah that's it, it was OP Yashiro

[smoky comet]

Overly Predictable Yashiro

[sand furnace]

I think he fits you. All grappler team can work

[smoky comet]

I'm benching Shermie

[sand furnace]

You can join Lou and waffle

[simple axle]

I'll do that after this ranked

[sand furnace]

Sylvie o. Yashiro Dolores?

[smoky comet]

As far as I'm concerned, mo one on the team is safe

[spark valley]

Lou a master w/ the grapplers

I need Lou to teach me the grappler mindset

Teach me Vice in 13!!!

[elfin ice]

I'm still in the room but I can't play too serious today. I gotta do some trolling and experimenting

[simple axle]

@sharp yew you got a code?

[sharp yew]

Not yet

You can make one rq, I'll be a sec

[simple axle]

748409

[sharp yew]

Omw

[calm ember]

ALMOST like he only focuses on negatives

[sharp yew]

I hope my wifi will work with me today lmao

[calm ember]

how bout that

[simple axle]

I'm running my secondaries before I run my mains

Hope that's alright

[sharp yew]

No problemo

[grave summit]

@smoky comet no need to holf back, i can take the losing XD

[smoky comet]

I'm not holding back

You had a win in your grasp and backed off

[calm ember]

OR you made the most of an opportunity

you saw the hesitation and went for the win

[smoky comet]

No

[calm ember]

great analysis skills mid match, lou

[smoky comet]

He literally just started walking a way

[calm ember]

and you made the most of it

[elfin ice]

It was a strange standoff lol

[calm ember]

you punished Waffle for their mistake of alleviating pressure

[elfin ice]

I think Waffle is trying to practice backing off a little

[calm ember]

then whether they succeeded in their own goals is up to them

idk, unfortunately

[grave summit]

I thought he wasn't blocking so i backed off and we didn't do anything for like 5 seconds

[simple axle]

Man there's so many characters I really don't know how to block against

[sand furnace]

Dyl is knowledge checking you hard with Mary

Neutral jump after his block string

[sharp yew]

Yeah, you can jump it

[simple axle]

Jumping in block pressure?

[sand furnace]

It’s fake

[sharp yew]

Fake as Spiderman's Jordans

[sand furnace]

Just a scratch

Mary is so funny

[calm ember]

not all pressure is airtight

its how you steal turns back

[sharp yew]

Nice! Ramon was cookin for a bit

[sand furnace]

Use your mains Tyler

[sharp yew]

"Release the Lions"
That's what I'm hearing

[simple axle]

I will next run

Only thing I dislike about Ramón are his light confirms suck and he has no real anti air

Otherwise I just gotta learn Isla

[grave summit]

Tried to do a cool kid quick max combo but couldn't pull it off

[sharp yew]

Alrighty, let's see that Joe cook

[calm ember]

yet*

[sharp yew]

NOOO

That was clean though

[sand furnace]

Very evenly matched

[sharp yew]

I totally thought I had you

[drowsy silo]

dyL throwing hard asf rn

Lock it in bro

[sand furnace]

Looks like you both found your training partner

No more raitguy for dyl

[drowsy silo]

Raitguy getting dumped

[sharp yew]

🫡

[drowsy silo]

Damn looking at how solid the connection is I think mine is a problem

[simple axle]

Yamazki is back in the saddle

[sharp yew]

So he is

Gahdayum Tyler went and got cracked

[sand furnace]

Tyler is super strong

I hope @smoky comet is taking notes of this

[drowsy silo]

Yama is a bitch to deal with

[smoky comet]

I dunno what you're saying, I'm too busy losing to Waffle

[sand furnace]

I doubt it

[smoky comet]

I literally just lost our set

@grave summit can confirm

So can @elfin ice

[sharp yew]

Hey thanks for giving him my anti-Mary tech Oliver

Lmao

[sand furnace]

Well Tyler is up 4-0 against dyl and just OCVed him

[grave summit]

I mean, no offense, but i would believe he was holding back a tiny bit

[smoky comet]

That's incredibly disrespectful

I was going all out

[simple axle]

PATIENCE

Damn

[grave summit]

I'm sorry, i thought you were being nice to me

[calm ember]

mentality affects ability

[smoky comet]

Well. No. I wasn't

Why would I do that

[elfin ice]

Lou I gotta say something is a little off about your play today

I mean hell, still beat me

[smoky comet]

We split the set

[elfin ice]

but there's something different today

[sharp yew]

😳

[simple axle]

Alright that's gotta be it from me

[sharp yew]

Ggs

[simple axle]

GGs extra hard

[sand furnace]

Damn Tyler about to be a killer

[simple axle]

The hell I am

[drowsy silo]

Run back from yesterday dyl

[simple axle]

Yamazki is just stupid

[calm ember]

no, he's insane

[smoky comet]

Why is this night different from all other nights?

[sharp yew]

I wanna be killer, but I just got 5-0'd so I'm putting that off until I can send Tyler to the shadow realm😅

[simple axle]

Someone say I'm carried by him

[elfin ice]

Tyler put that main team in and started cooking. Might be an addition to my duck list 🤣

[calm ember]

bc people fluctuate

[smoky comet]

On all other nights we eat leavened products and matzah, and on this night only matzah.

[sand furnace]

Good attitude. Also Yama is new for you

[calm ember]

no one plays 100% all the time

[smoky comet]

On all other nights we eat all vegetables, and on this night only bitter herbs.

[sharp yew]

748409 pull up

[smoky comet]

On all other nights, we don’t dip our food even once, and on this night we dip twice.

On all other nights we eat sitting or reclining, and on this night we only recline.

[sharp yew]

Nah, Yama is an old nemesis of mine.
@quick aspen used to beat my ass with him all the time

[elfin ice]

Damn, I see how it is

[timid dawn]

You're looking at a guy who went 0-2 in the latest Rookie Rumble as a matter of fact

[elfin ice]

233211 please take it easy on me 😅

[sand furnace]

Raitguy is a great welcome opponent!

[shadow crystal]

You will be surprised

[sand furnace]

The newbie squad is growing!!!

[shadow crystal]

Ayyyy

[bitter elk]

Hooray

[shadow crystal]

I'm in brother lets rock

[sand furnace]

@grave summit you can join in if you are online

[sand furnace]

Who’s your team?

[grave summit]

I'm taking a quick break from work rn, but i'll join when i'm done with it later

[shadow crystal]

Meitenkun and Terry for sure

Been trying Haohmaru too

[sand furnace]

With @spark valley @simple axle and @sharp yew graduating from the newbie squad, we welcome a new newbie class!

[shadow crystal]

But I'm still floating really

Also ouch I just got rocked

[sand furnace]

Eyy! I main Meiten!

[elfin ice]

I'm still in sweaty mode from Ranked lol

[shadow crystal]

Yoooo sleepy boys

[sand furnace]

If you really want to learn him, I can teach you

But don’t be afraid to explore the whole cast to see who really fits you

[sand furnace]

Rait the newbie squad leader hazing the new members

[shadow crystal]

@elfin ice GG!!

[elfin ice]

yeah that was rough

[shadow crystal]

You're good dude

Admire the Terry lol

He's def my favorite so far

[elfin ice]

Newbie Squad is going to be competitive

[shadow crystal]

Hell yeah

[elfin ice]

I like Antonov lol

on snap imma lose

[shadow crystal]

Antonov rules

Daaaang I was closer

[elfin ice]

King is my main anchor, you're a real threat lol

[shadow crystal]

King is one of the characters I struggle against most!

[elfin ice]

This is my main team... I'm scared lol

[shadow crystal]

Ooof

I don't think I've ever fought a Maxima since I started this game

Lmaoooo double KO

Good games my dude

[elfin ice]

ggs!

[sharp yew]

Another Terry player
Love to see it

[elfin ice]

I struggle with Athena

[shadow crystal]

I apologize

She IS obnoxious

[elfin ice]

beat me

[sand furnace]

Never apologize for using Athena. She is best girl

[elfin ice]

I use King, no apology needed lol

[shadow crystal]

Oof what a monstrous Robert

[elfin ice]

Tatsu spamming lol

[shadow crystal]

I feel like I'm actively getting worse by now

[elfin ice]

I gotta run, GGS

[shadow crystal]

GGs bro! Play again sometime!

[elfin ice]

No I'm playing more responsibly than normal

I'm sitting back and waiting for a punish. I'm slowly starting to do it

This is totally new for me 😂

@shadow crystal you're a threat like the rest of the squad, there's going to be some heated games around here 😂

I got so scared I pulled out Maxima lol

[shadow crystal]

Well thanks! I'm tryin my best

[smoky comet]

<@&1057859264267436092>

I have to end this losing streak sooner or later

[sand furnace]

Didn’t you win against waffle?

[smoky comet]

No

[sand furnace]

Like the set

[smoky comet]

No

[sand furnace]

Wow

[smoky comet]

It was 4-5

Yeah.

[sand furnace]

I’m honestly shocked

[smoky comet]

Like I said, I'm not mid-tier

[sand furnace]

It could be a one-day thing

[timid dawn]

lets play

u got a mic tho?

Im kinda tired rn ngl

[smoky comet]

Nacho Rivera joined on the RR server 😦

[sand furnace]

You don’t have to fight them

That’s a losing set

[smoky comet]

I know

[sand furnace]

And won’t help your psyche

Wait didn’t you win against raitguy?

[smoky comet]

No

[sand furnace]

Like earlier today didn’t you guys play?

[smoky comet]

We split the set 10-1

[sand furnace]

You can play Daru but you need to do it over VC cause you have to know going in that it’s a learning set not one where you are trying to win

[smoky comet]

*1-1

[sand furnace]

Well looks like rait ran away before you can win the set

[timid dawn]

yeah u really dont have to play me

I can just hop on Trails its cool

I'm prolly gonna KO soon anyways

[sand furnace]

Maybe @shadow crystal ?

[covert torrent]

I heard that game series is pretty long right?

[timid dawn]

they have a new one, Trails of Reverie which literally combines the arcs of 6 whole games... I'm just now starting one of them after it sitting in my library for years lol

[sand furnace]

Aren’t there like 5 of them? I heard it’s great though

[bitter elk]

I've heard that as well

[covert torrent]

That's really convient if I ever decide to get into the series lol

[smoky comet]

Playing again Nacho makes me wonder why I EVER entered RR LOL

[sand furnace]

Cause they’re not a rookie

[timid dawn]

well nah, it's like you need to know what goes on in the other games. Its the ending, but combines all the arcs. So it's best to play them or have some sort of background knowledge

[sand furnace]

Hopefully one of the newbie squad members here take your offer soon!

[smoky comet]

They're not invincibl

[sharp yew]

Dang, we got a lot of folks on today.
Maybe enough for a party match later?👀

[sand furnace]

Yes but they’re better

[sand furnace]

Newbie only party match

You’re not newbie anymore dyl btw

[sharp yew]

[covert torrent]

Ah ok that clears things up then

[sharp yew]

Suffering from success over here

[timid dawn]

I'm enjoying Cold Steel 1 though, cant wait to do the sequels. If u like Persona, or like FF Type 0 I recommend

[smoky comet]

I'm going to lose 5-0 😂

[sharp yew]

Oliver gatekeeping me smh
||I'm just poking fun lmao||

[covert torrent]

I never played type-0 but my brother loves that game alot so maybe I'll give it and trails a try at some point

[sand furnace]

Well you knew that going in fighting him

[smoky comet]

He's probably laughing at me rn

[sand furnace]

Most likely not

Unless he’s an asshole which I doubt

[smoky comet]

I'd laugh at me.

I'm getting crossed up by everything he throws

[sand furnace]

You’re sounding a lot like @patent crypt

Maybe you can try fighting @sharp yew again instead of nacho

[smoky comet]

So I can get swept there too?

[sand furnace]

Weren’t you winning last time you played?

[smoky comet]

no

It was tied

1-1

[sand furnace]

Also do you want a fair opponent that feels rewarding when you win or do you prefer to fight a newbie that you have a bigger chance of winning?

[sand furnace]

Sounds like you are close in skills then

[shadow crystal]

I can go later!

[smoky comet]

I don't even know who I can win against anymore

[sand furnace]

I feel your mental affects your gameplay

[smoky comet]

749624

[sand furnace]

Which isn’t uncommon

[smoky comet]

I have lost

EVERY

set

for the past month

That's more than a mental problem

I don't understand myfucking problem

I was starting to make progress

Or maybe I wasn't

Maybe I wasn't

I don't know anymore

[sand furnace]

That’s possible

[smoky comet]

Then people I've been playing have been lying to me

[sand furnace]

Let’s try to do an objective analysis here. What do you say you progressed with?

[sharp yew]

I'm hella rusty rn cuz of all the fatal fury grinding I've been doing, so I'd say you have a good shot at besting me

[smoky comet]

749624

[sharp yew]

Oh shit rn? I'm not even home right now

Sorry, I should've clarified

[smoky comet]

idk. I was going to say neutral, but I sucked in my matches today with that.
Anti-airs? No.

Combo consistency? No

[sharp yew]

I'll be back later tonight though, although I don't know how long that's gonna be😔

[smoky comet]

Low confirms? lol

[sand furnace]

Are you able to hit them more?

[smoky comet]

LOL

[sand furnace]

Oh you were being sarcastic

[smoky comet]

My low confirms are lol

My mixups game is trash

Can't crossup

[sand furnace]

Pressure?

[smoky comet]

Nope

[sand furnace]

What things have you succeeded in for the games you’ve won? And you have won games, not sets

[smoky comet]

Get this: I guard break Tyler twice in a round AND STILL LOSE THAT ROUND 😂

[shadow crystal]

Ayy I'm back

[sand furnace]

Like in the 3 games you won versus Tyler, what did you do to get the win?

[smoky comet]

He made mistakes

[smoky comet]

749624

[sand furnace]

What mistakes?

[smoky comet]

He used a punishable move as Shingo

[sand furnace]

So you were able to do a good punish. That’s a positive

[shadow crystal]

Time to get stomped lol

[smoky comet]

Doc D's here to beat my ass

[shadow crystal]

False XD

[smoky comet]

Don't count yourself out just yet

I actually don’t hate any character I just be talking shit

[sand furnace]

Only howl hates Shermie

He has an irrational hate for her

Wonder if he’s still playing sf6

[calm ember]
