SNK Matchmaking

[timid dawn]

if she jumps

assume one is coming

be ready to block or duck

etc

[elfin ice]

sometimes when I run in I toss a random roll or jump. If it works I'm in 😂

[simple axle]

Sheesh, rushing down might be too complex for me

[timid dawn]

When you run forward this is when you get hit too. Like when you run towards me, you don't defend

[simple axle]

Also is that a low projectile?

[timid dawn]

yes

ppl will be mashing always

[simple axle]

I wasn't even mashing anything I was just stand blocking

[timid dawn]

No no no

I mean your opponent will mash as you approach

So as you are just closing in on them be ready to either block or hop something of that nature

[elfin ice]

if you get in.. punish city

[simple axle]

Ah yeah that's why I don't understand how rush down even works without like armor moves or just some wild read

Since 2As and just buttons beat like hop

[timid dawn]

It's not really reads and all that. Try something and watch what they do in response

A lot of 2As you can hop them

[simple axle]

And if I block I just put myself in block stun

[elfin ice]

yeah like run in and stop to see what they do lol

[timid dawn]

Then block its ok to block

You wont get immediately guard broken from blocking lol

its going to be ok

[simple axle]

If I do run and block, what was the point of me rushing me in and all of that

[timid dawn]

See how I played? I blocked and watched you

Antonov is big and slow I cant just mash out

always

[simple axle]

I assumed I lost because I can't block to save my life. Since I just can't

[timid dawn]

Try to focus on defending yourself

But like watch what I do as you approach me

Also, I'm going to become an Antonov main

gotta use your good far pokes to stop the run ins and the like

to stop the run ins

yep use the Leona privlege buttons lol

[elfin ice]

I can't stop Leona pressure, free OCV

[simple axle]

My DP

Why

[timid dawn]

that was pretty much what was up though

that was good

[elfin ice]

https://tenor.com/view/maxima-king-of-fighters-snk-kofxv-kof-gif-24373373

[simple axle]

I don't feel like I'm rushing down

I'm just kinda backing off constantly

[timid dawn]

yep

You did stop some approaches though

this is good

keep doing that

but dont be afraid

[simple axle]

This shit is gonna make my head set on fire

[elfin ice]

run in - it's fun! 😂

[simple axle]

Like there's no "line" to me opening someone up with my characters

It's like command grab or grab

[timid dawn]

go low

run up 2b

hop in

you've already grabbed me

[elfin ice]

idk about running in on Haoh though, that's dangerous af 😅

[timid dawn]

also, use your plus buttons

to extend pressure

your 2a's 5as

you can keep it going like this

you've kinda gotten the gist of what I've said

[simple axle]

See I tried that and got hit in the face

[timid dawn]

just need to keep doing it

[simple axle]

By Sword brother

[timid dawn]

hmm ok

nice qm

[simple axle]

As always, if I only have one thing at all. It's combos

[timid dawn]

good

now have pressure too

[simple axle]

That's the 2nd hardest part

[timid dawn]

"the hardest things in life are usually rocks"

nice

[simple axle]

Man I keep forgetting this input for the counter

Since I don't use it often

[timid dawn]

is it HCF K?

[simple axle]

There really is NO dash blocking

[timid dawn]

Also for Leona I know it can be kinda rough on that end

[simple axle]

Man, I swear I need someone to send me a 4 hour video on why King isn't the best zoner though

[timid dawn]

she is

in our hearts she is the best zoner

[simple axle]

Just there not being dash blocking is very goofy to me

[timid dawn]

you need to run and stop

or just walk

[simple axle]

Since like how else do get through that wall of projectiles

[timid dawn]

I do the EX one cause its super fast and changes her air movement

[simple axle]

Unless I jump, I promise I'm holding back for at least some of these fireballs

[timid dawn]

usually when ppl jump I do the EX one in the air

cause its fast enough to meet them

I see what happened nw

you try to jump the air ones too

[simple axle]

King just mind floods me so hard

[elfin ice]

That robert tatsu combo is there

[simple axle]

I'm gonna start calling King Bullet hell

[timid dawn]

she is

[simple axle]

Since like I'm reacting to the fireball

But it's in the air

[timid dawn]

Nah dont do that

[simple axle]

So I just jump into it

[timid dawn]

dont jump into it

it wont give you life back

also Robert fireball vs King

good luck

[simple axle]

I just don't understand what I'm missing. Since smoke says zoning isn't that strong in this game. But King feels like the final boss every time she's on screen

[elfin ice]

King is a scrub killer 🤣🤣

No seriously, block 2-3 Venom Strikes and the King player will go to plan B

[calm ember]

Your zoning defense needs more work, is what that tells me

How confident are your projectile hops?

[elfin ice]

if they don't have a plan B, they're screwed

[timid dawn]

EX Crackshoot is overhead

[simple axle]

I know that, but I was trying to charge DP

But it just wasn't happening

I DID NOT BACK DASH ON PURPOSE

[simple axle]

I have them but King has one that's in the air

Like I just kinda headbutt her fireballs

[elfin ice]

my air fireballs are all hard reads

[simple axle]

I swear to you, if I were to ever take a break from KOF it will definitely be because of either King or a grappler

I just feel so powerless

[timid dawn]

Nah dont fold over a King player wtf

u almost had it tho

[simple axle]

MY INPUT

[elfin ice]

that was stressful af lol

[timid dawn]

round start ARE U OKAY?

Imma start doing that

[simple axle]

King just hurts my brain I swear

[timid dawn]

Why dont u just play king?

[elfin ice]

How? You're winning

[timid dawn]

there are times where I get hit with something and I got to go right to the source

except o yash

[simple axle]

I definitely have no interest in playing King

[timid dawn]

but u have interest in her fireballs.... hmm ok

[simple axle]

But it's because these fireballs are too much for me to think about

[timid dawn]

dont overthink them

[simple axle]

Like Athena doesn't give me this headache

It's only King

[timid dawn]

how doesnt Athena give you the headache

Athena actually got mix

[simple axle]

Because she just runs and acts like sonic

[elfin ice]

See and I can't handle Athena, not because of the fireballs - because of everything else lol

[simple axle]

That's whatever

[elfin ice]

See the beauty of King is the guessing game of which venom strike is coming

you could get good and prepared to dodge a strong one and I throw a weak or EX 😂

[timid dawn]

dont back away from me

dont let me get away

[simple axle]

Wow she jumped my 2B

[timid dawn]

she will keep shooting

smother her

cause like theyll keep on regardless u know

[elfin ice]

baited the parries!

[simple axle]

My command grab

I gotta use the bathroom one sec

[timid dawn]

It kicked me down lol

oh

im not crazy about kokodesuka

rugal better

this is team fireball spam fr

[elfin ice]

hahaha 😂😂😂

[timid dawn]

LOOL

WHAT IS THIS GAME

I genuinely forgot the Sylvie combo

[simple axle]

But King isn't the only zoner that I despise. Ash is there to. And I guess Sleepy boy

It's like just king specifically, shits on me because I can't stick on people

[timid dawn]

use your anti fireball stuff

u have one too

KOF 94

[elfin ice]

tf I look like blocking? 😂

[simple axle]

Right, but like then I'm stuck in place and can't move. Since like King's and most zoners seems to throw out fireballs faster right?

[elfin ice]

double strike!

we letting them thangs fly 😅

[simple axle]

My supers are not happening today

[elfin ice]

I had dropped the controller, thought I was dead

[simple axle]

I tried level 3

[elfin ice]

it keeps giving me DPs

[timid dawn]

all i hear is

zaneiken

this man just did a 70% combo

[elfin ice]

That's exactly how I play Andy in ranked

[simple axle]

It's like I can deal with Athena's since like she only has ones that's travel on the floor at different speeds

[elfin ice]

https://tenor.com/view/elbow-foul-basketball-los-angeles-lakers-oklahoma-city-thunder-gif-17278316

[covert torrent]

Andersson be doing damage just like his brother Terrance

[simple axle]

Why she got her hips out like that

[elfin ice]

you took out my king with ease

[timid dawn]

I should play some O Sherm

[covert torrent]

Trying to make tyler more mad LMAO

[simple axle]

Man I hate how bad I am at inputs though

[timid dawn]

honestly bro, idk whos worse

King

or OSherm

[simple axle]

I can't actually get 6B or 4B as Leona

I sherm is fine

[elfin ice]

O Sherm has JP tendencies 🤣
I hate her

[timid dawn]

yeah thats who she is

JP

[quick aspen]

Now I like JP even more

[elfin ice]

JP is Otama=Raga

[quick aspen]

Jotama=Praga

[simple axle]

It's like I just can't stay near anyone

[elfin ice]

It's harder to get in on Rugal than King

or maybe that's just Daru 😅

[timid dawn]

Rugal the best zoner?

[elfin ice]

plus the reward for getting close to Rugal is a Genocide Cutter 😂

[timid dawn]

so u have mods on PC

@elfin ice

you have ultimate Terry mod?

[elfin ice]

Nope my game is 100% vanilla

[simple axle]

Like O Shermie is rough only because I keep just running into buttons. But Rugal is just like hold down and block low and jump at your own peril

[timid dawn]

what is king

[simple axle]

Not that

Because she only has 2 fireballs

[elfin ice]

I'm more afraid of King's kick combo than venom strikes

[simple axle]

And that air one just messes with me

[timid dawn]

why?

[simple axle]

Because that eliminates one whole option

[timid dawn]

they will be leveled based on her jump height

[elfin ice]

The air venom strikes are no different than air pillows from Sleepy Boy

[covert torrent]

Not necessarily

[elfin ice]

except for the EX 😅

[covert torrent]

If you get close to her and she jumps back 9/10 the king player is probably throwing an air fireball

[elfin ice]

....and I am exposed 🤣

[covert torrent]

Shit I wasn't even planning on too lmao

You're over thinking the fireball a little much Tyler imo

[simple axle]

Chris has a command grab?

[elfin ice]

air fireballs only work when the King throws them at the right time. It's usually a read with me

[timid dawn]

yes

[simple axle]

Who decided that?

[timid dawn]

I did

[elfin ice]

Chris is the best troll ever

[timid dawn]

the conversions

CD

u got that stuff down at times definitely

[timid dawn]

Chris they say hes one of the worst in the game

But he is the best at what he does

whatever that may be

[elfin ice]

I just like people saying wtf

Chris does that well

[simple axle]

Sorry had something come up

[timid dawn]

so

i was gonna say

like how do u feel so far

[simple axle]

Like I probably need a break after this game.

[timid dawn]

ok well make this one your best

[simple axle]

I ain't exactly tilted but I just feel dejected.

[elfin ice]

Burn to Fight!

[simple axle]

Like this game is impossible to play

[timid dawn]

maybe with that kind of thinking things will be harder

[simple axle]

Neutral and offense just are killing my brain today

[elfin ice]

Bro you're fighting Daru and you kicked my ass

[simple axle]

My QM?

[timid dawn]

your qm?

[elfin ice]

I thought the EX fireball would chip 😂

[timid dawn]

@simple axle alright

I see now

[simple axle]

Nah that was a run of me trying not to think

But it like doesn't work

Since when X and Y doesn't work I start thinking and get mind flooded really hard

[timid dawn]

hmm maybe you should start labbing certain scenarios then

so you can have a brief expectation on what you would like to see happen

[simple axle]

I don't know what to lab fella.

[timid dawn]

its cool bro

[simple axle]

Feels like when I get to that point the whole game feel like a 9×9 rubix cube

Only reason I think I did alright on that auto pilot is because there wasn't much zoning and Robert hard carried

[timid dawn]

well there are multiple things each of the characters are specifically capable of, but there are also the universal basic things everyone can do

which one are you more worried about?

[covert torrent]

<@&1057859264267436092> back to learning K' who wants to run a couple of games

[grim talon]

Luna won 2 games out of 10+ games we played

[unreal wadi]

She won 4 of 10 vs me.

[quick aspen]

In my defense, I didn't have any Shermie against Zero today

I probably would've done a better job with main team

[timid dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/geese-geese-howard-parry-predictable-predict-gif-24092146

[wet hatch]

[timid dawn]

[wet hatch]

The K' combos? The Leona sauce & neutral cmmmooonnn

I might retire permanently

[timid dawn]

Yeah Dunc was going crazy with K

[simple axle]

Man I don't know what I did with Leona there other than not think

[spark valley]

I do fr

[spark valley]

DP

[wet hatch]

Combos were nasty

So sick 🛸

[simple axle]

Excuse me?

My 2B got jumped?

By this man's regular ass 5D?

[timid dawn]

Meiten is really goated

people just SLEEP on him

[simple axle]

Love that fish

You never see it

[timid dawn]

rng

robert dmg

L

[simple axle]

Robert your damage

[grim talon]

[simple axle]

Robert your damage

I've got to use the bathroom

One sec

[timid dawn]

ok

[simple axle]

Also I hate Andy, he adds a lot to my mental stack by him having so many options

[timid dawn]

I think one thing about lockdown pressure, keeping people where you want them, make them uncomfortable with even leaving from where they are, and if they do they'll still have to worry about u one way or another

@fossil burrow Is really good at this

I remember he would have mfs (me included) just jailed

[simple axle]

I'll do it occasionally, at least I try it with Robert but like people just kinda leave

[timid dawn]

No fly zone

[simple axle]

Well more like they kinda mash out

Or I jump in and they roll under

[timid dawn]

then get em again

And again

it's really like, one thing doesn't work, on to the next

No need to stress it

sometimes shit just doesn't work out, but have to keep seeing wassup

sometimes u may have to yeet n retreat

[simple axle]

I'm back

I'm out here really thinking, if I replaced Yamazki for Ryo what would happen

[timid dawn]

How u feel about the graphics in this game?

[timid dawn]

you'd win more

[simple axle]

They're graphics

I don't really care about them

[timid dawn]

Ryo is really that guy

[simple axle]

I think MBAACC looks great so eh

Man I hate this rat

[timid dawn]

that game does look good though

for its time yes

ok

KOF

[simple axle]

That exact frame

THAT'S WHY I DON'T BELIEVE IN HOPS BEATING 2As

[timid dawn]

Play smaller characters

Yama is a big body

Also

Jump attack changes hurtbox

[simple axle]

Man I feel this game activity hates the characters I picked

Alright I tried to GC roll and missed every time

Literally every time

[timid dawn]

your hop beat my 2A each time with Dino

[simple axle]

My run up throw

My god I just don't know what to do after a blocked 2A.

Since my throws just kinda decided to no longer work

[timid dawn]

don't forget about your knockoff move

the blowback strike one

[simple axle]

I'll go one more set than I definitely have to take a break

[timid dawn]

that one is really good to get them off u temp

but they'll come back so be ready!

[simple axle]

My command grab

[timid dawn]

I have the same issues with command grab a lot too

[simple axle]

I absolutely never want that fireball input

Is jab that plus on block m

[timid dawn]

lol we've already established this

the jabs are your plus buttons

[simple axle]

Nah listen, I jabbed jumped and landed and you were still throw invul

That's my question

Wow

I hate this game

[timid dawn]

might've mistimed the jump

[simple axle]

Nah just me getting guard broken and I just didn't see a way out

[timid dawn]

use your meter if it gets rough

@simple axle tbh bro steal some of my blockstrings

[sharp yew]

Not before I snag yo terry king crown😤😤

[timid dawn]

literally

Like the shit you do like this it can get the same results for the most part

With Ryo at least

[simple axle]

I'm gonna be honest, I don't think Ryo is for me just looking at him he seems you gotta be real immaculate at the game to play him

[timid dawn]

LOL

He's literally Dan

You play Ryu

[simple axle]

I'ma be real, like I'm too busy looking for a way out I don't notice the block string

Like I can watch the replay

[timid dawn]

yes

this is what i mean

the replays!

watch the Ryo pressure

watch the variants

[simple axle]

Since all it looked like on my end was you just reading me like a magazine

[timid dawn]

🧢

[simple axle]

I jump you hit me with like 5D

[timid dawn]

That's what you do with Robert

[simple axle]

It try and DP, you block

[timid dawn]

You literally do the same thing

Tryna blame me smh

[sharp yew]

He needs em

[simple axle]

Yeah, but people don't fall for it

People are too patience

[timid dawn]

patience is good

but KOF is like

a second of patience

then foot on the gas pedal right after

then ease up a bit

[simple axle]

GGs nevertheless

I had fun but I just am in my head about how well I'm doing

[timid dawn]

Bro you’re a lot better than most

But I’m being fr watch the replays

And see what Ryo was doing

You can do that same thing with a lot of characters

Especially Leona

you just gotta try things out

[surreal zodiac]

[surreal zodiac]

I don't vibe with KOF in it's current state tbh

It's very eh

[timid dawn]

What's that supposed to mean

[quick aspen]

Play Melty Blood

[surreal zodiac]

The first year I loved it. I still love it but I can't get matches unless it's discord

I do play Melty

[unreal wadi]

Yeah, the Matchmaking is a big issue

[surreal zodiac]

Lmao

[unreal wadi]

and they cant figuere it out

[timid dawn]

@surreal zodiac lets play

[surreal zodiac]

No I'm on Sf to zone e people

[timid dawn]

ugh

[unreal wadi]

I can figuere out SF6 at all, that game dont vibe with me at all.

[timid dawn]

yeah cause it sucks

[unreal wadi]

I like to watch the Tournies tho.

[sharp yew]

I just play sf6 to troll

I didn't pay $60 to respect my opponents neutral🤣🤣

[elfin ice]

me too, I spent $60 for throw loops and Drive Impact

[sharp yew]

Would should play sometime on random

[simple axle]

<@&1057859264267436092> is there anyone would like to play against my day one Ryo in single vs?

[covert torrent]

<@&1057859264267436092> anyone up for some games

[simple axle]

If you let me finish this Naraka match sure

Also play Geese maybe? I kinda wanna fight him more. To get a better idea of what he does

[covert torrent]

Sure

[covert torrent]

Just ping me when you your free

[drowsy silo]

I know what should be your pfp

[covert torrent]

I'm listening

[drowsy silo]

https://tenor.com/view/poki-gif-22811481

Just think about it

She’s carrying the fgc

[covert torrent]

Don't know about that one trip

[drowsy silo]

Why not

Ok how about this one

https://tenor.com/view/kekw-pokimane-gif-21421511

[simple axle]

@covert torrent I'm good to go

[covert torrent]

177420 @simple axle

[simple axle]

You know, I was inputting it, but didn't mean to press triangle

[covert torrent]

I believe it

[simple axle]

I do not like this man's speed

It feels too slow to like, get close

This is the last one I gotta watch the Eva movies after this

Considering how stubby his light confirms feel

[timid dawn]

how

[simple axle]

I don't think I can play Ryo.

GGs though

[covert torrent]

It's literally day 1 lmao

[simple axle]

Having to look out for parrying and all that is rough

[covert torrent]

You don't have to parry everything or anything at really

[simple axle]

So day one of like the other characters I've played so far, I've gotten a good idea of "what to do" from like just watching them or just how they feel. But Ryo is like "Be offensive by playing defensive KOF" and I'm kinda completely cheeks at that

Like from what I understand, you play Ryo to block out people's options to get away from you. Suffocating them, I can't do about any of that. Unless I'm completely overthinking it

[drowsy silo]

She’s making evo more well known

Which then makes the fgc more well known

[timid dawn]

ok

[covert torrent]

Yeah she owns part of evo now

[drowsy silo]

She is evo

[simple axle]

Is she gonna playing Skullgirls?

[drowsy silo]

Naw but evo getting mad views now

Way than before

[covert torrent]

I never committed to ryo so I can't really say but maybe I will for week we'll see

[simple axle]

Since he isn't exactly a shoto, so I can't play him like Robert so it just feels off like I can only open people up by blocking

I mean I ain't gonna give it up yet, I definitely gotta fight someone my level to begin with. But so far he does not feel smooth and good in the hands

Oh and fighting Geese, thank you indulging in that request. I'm just trying to understand how he gets anywhere being so slow

[unreal wadi]

Hello Everyone

[covert torrent]

Think of King but leagues better

[simple axle]

I'm used to the
"slow character slow buttons big range" Geese seems slow character really good buttons and like fireball. But he's just kinda pokes you with buttons. Until he kills you

[simple axle]

I'll try Geese out probably after I mess around with Haohmaru and Ryo some more

I mean he just seems like button harassment like Joe but better

[smoky comet]

<@&1057859264267436092> I might regret this but, matches?

[covert torrent]

I can give it a go if you don't mind

[smoky comet]

As long as you're not keeping score.

919750

I need work against Heidern anyway

[covert torrent]

I don't keep track of the score?

[smoky comet]

I mean like, if folks ask how I did

Yeah, I literally don't know what to do to counter him

Like I am trying fucking everything

[covert torrent]

He has bad whiff recovery so if you see me whiff any button for the most like 2C for example you can whiff punish him for free

[smoky comet]

I have been OCV'd by him for three straight matches.

[smoky comet]

I am trying.

Rn all I can do is Dolores Things to win. That's not good

How embarassing

[covert torrent]

Your having trouble against heidern it isn't

The same thing would happen to someone like Luna

[smoky comet]

I just don't know what to do

I know you're saying whiff punish

But like

I need to train that

My current skillset isn't one where I can counter-attack like that

I'll lab that for sure

But as it is, it's a losing matchup for me

Like I am trying all kinds of workarounds

It's just not dropping

Maybe I need to work on qm confirms

Idk

But whatever I'm doing now just isn't working

[covert torrent]

By nature since heidern is a charge character if you see me holding down back that's your signal to move

Unless you jump the only other move I can do is fireball

[smoky comet]

No, of course. It's similar to Kim

Idk why my safejumps are so slow to come out. I gotta work those out more

Sorry, idk why I lost my cool there

I'm just so... with Krohnen I have a gameplan. Kyo. B. Jenet. Even Isla I have a gameplan

Heidern is just... idk what my problem is.

I'm not getting plus frames from frame traps. I'm not getting that Range 1 strategy down

Anyway, enough complaining. Better just lab this shit.

Ggs

[covert torrent]

It's fine Lou

While I'm still on the game <@&1057859264267436092> anyone wanna play for a bit before I go

[sharp yew]

You playing the goose??
You on the list now bro🫵😤

[simple axle]

I'm just trying everyone out that was on my list Dyl

[smoky comet]

Update: I think the big issue is I don't have proper command of my superjump distances or punishes. So I'm not making the most of my movement options and/or pressing buttons too early.

Like. Everyone has a superjump punish.

https://youtu.be/tXL7xZlVVF4

It's not hard

I just don't have control of my movement options

[covert torrent]

You'll get the hang of it eventually Lou

It took me time understand movement options as well

[sharp yew]

<@&1057859264267436092> anyone wanna beat the rust off of me

[covert torrent]

I can in a couple of minutes

Just make the room and I'll be there

[autumn ibex]

Mind if I pop in for a couple? Testing something out with my PC

[covert torrent]

Yeah we can play some games smoke

It's be awhile since we played

[autumn ibex]

It has

Y’all got a lobby up?

[covert torrent]

Yeah 489322

[sharp yew]

Omw, I was in le training room

[covert torrent]

All good Dyl

[sharp yew]

Weird, I keep getting a connection error with the room when I try to enter

[covert torrent]

I can remake the room after this

[autumn ibex]

Any lag on your end?

[autumn ibex]

Is your crossplay enabled?

[covert torrent]

No the connection felt fine

673860

[autumn ibex]

Awesome same for me. You on a 4 or 5?

[sharp yew]

Yeah

[covert torrent]

4 because I don't like the PS5 pad for fighting games

[autumn ibex]

Is it a pro or regular?

[covert torrent]

I tried it once and was like nah lmao

PS4 pro

[sharp yew]

I'm on a 5

[autumn ibex]

Ok thanks last question you’re out on the east coast right?

[sharp yew]

Another connection error tf?
Imma restart the game rq

[covert torrent]

Yeah I'm on the east coast

[drowsy silo]

[sharp yew]

I'm on the north coast

[autumn ibex]

Ok thanks. My buddy and I are having the worst time lately and I think his PS may be dying

And we’re closer than you and I

[covert torrent]

Oof

[sharp yew]

Aight, I fixed it, I'm in le room now

[drowsy silo]

Tell his phase 1 ps4 to lock it in

[autumn ibex]

Still good?

Yeah ping was twice as high and totally fine

[autumn ibex]

🫡

[covert torrent]

Yeah connection was fine still

[drowsy silo]

Also don’t forget depending what area you are spectrum will fuck you over

My cousin has od internet and he’s a bit more into the city while I’m by the fucking border of Mexico

And he got spectrum

10up 500 down type of deal

[sharp yew]

Well, that went about how I thought it would😅

[autumn ibex]

This is OD internet?

Shake it off Dyl you’re fine

[sharp yew]

Yeah, ik

After this set, could I do a set with zero?
After that, I gotta dip

[autumn ibex]

Yeah I gotta take off anyway

Holy wifi lol

Ggs guys I’ll be back on Tuesday or maybe tmw

[sharp yew]

Yeah I honestly gotta stop playing online this wifi is breaking my damn ankles

[covert torrent]

GGs smoke

[sharp yew]

Ggs

[autumn ibex]

Idk if you saw anything zero but it straight up froze a couple times over here

[drowsy silo]

I mean PlayStation puts a cap on your up and down it’s not like pc

Pc master race rodeo

[covert torrent]

Yeah I saw it stutter a couple of times

[drowsy silo]

Console sexist

[autumn ibex]

Mine shows the speed my router and PC show

[drowsy silo]

I’m talking about ps4

Ps5 they upped it the cap

I’m not sure if there even is a cap on ps5 I think there is from a video I saw on it for whatever reason

[sharp yew]

Ggs

[covert torrent]

GGs Dyl

[sharp yew]

I almost had yall a few times with my lights, but spikes done ate my inputs and I dropped like all of them😔

[simple axle]

Dyl if you're on tomorrow you should come beat up my day week 1 Leona

[sharp yew]

I would if I wasn't rusty from not playing for 8 days😅

Ion even know if I'll be on tomorrow at all cuz my boss got me working a huge shift tomorrow

[simple axle]

Oh good luck brother

[autumn ibex]

Nah PS5 plays nice with fiber

Had no idea there was a 🧢 on 4 tho

[covert torrent]

Yeah if that lag spike didn't happen that light confirm would killed

[sharp yew]

Yeah, and ive been practicing my light combos too

So I know its not an inconsistency on my part although that does happen sometimes

[drowsy silo]

Never said It didn’t just because there’s a cap on it doesn’t mean it’s gunna be ass if you have good internet then there’s nothing to worry about then again there’s a lot of factors to online play

[autumn ibex]

Yeah I know you didn’t, just meant that if we have gig down/up the 5 gives that

I don’t have that but honestly thinking of moving to get it

And you’re right seems like netcode is the big factor

Thought maybe KOF was fucked up because I’ve only been playing my buddy nebular storm and then brackets and it’s been straight ass with NS ever since gonuts came out

With like around 50 ping. Even more annoying cause of how he plays, it’s just all gas no brakes and all of the sudden fake stuff like rehop pressure is real

HI Everyone!

[simple axle]

Hello

OG!!!!

[timid dawn]

@PC KOF

@PS KOF

[elfin ice]

@32X KOf

[spark valley]

@SEGA SATURN KOF

@DREAMCAST KOF 99 EVOLUTION MATCHMAKING

[timid dawn]

<@&1057859264267436092> playing for fun

[simple axle]

Damn right as I started watching one piece

[timid dawn]

so you'll be watching for another couple years

[simple axle]

Nah I'm on episode 932

Been watching for about a year and some change I think

[timid dawn]

oh my

[simple axle]

Currently just thinking about how much I like Geese, I'm still not use to the defensive style of KOF. I was comparing him to Rock and how Rock felt really easy because he was good at offense and KOF in general. But he's the opposite

[timid dawn]

Geese can be aggresive

[simple axle]

But not in the same way rock is just made for that playstyle right?

[timid dawn]

you can literally run down on people with Geese, watch his highlights

the man buttons are stupid

I've fought many Geese players

lotta stuff he can do

[simple axle]

His buttons are stupid, but he feels really heavy, not like Rock flying at you

[timid dawn]

Geese is 'graceful' not heavy

Shipukken

Look at his backdash lol

the man slides its epic asf

Like he's roughly gentle

Oxymoron.

The way he tosses you in his back throw its his old command grab I love it

[simple axle]

Like he runs slow and falls not at a speed I'm used to yet

Well I at least had trouble since I was trying to do offense with him the same way I do Leona and Rock. Which is jabs into like empty jump low or just overhead, maybe 2A into a throw. But he's too slow for all that

[timid dawn]

He's really not

[simple axle]

Damn, I'll keep playing with him but those are my first impressions after like day one of using him against someone who's really good

[timid dawn]

He can do stuff like 2B, 2A, 5B maybe light rekka ender 1st hit

and like 2A -> 6A

or like more telegraphed blockstrings like cl.C, 6A to end in light DP or heavy DP for crossup

he's very raw but super floaty. Jump in shippuken, but mind how slowly he floats back to the ground

sweep, repukken...

6B spam spam

Geese is very fun

[simple axle]

Like he reminds me of Ryo of just instead of bringing the fight to them they both are kind of a moving wall

[timid dawn]

hmm yeah that's kinda it

[simple axle]

Oh also Haohmaru is definitely replacing Robert even if I literally can taste how bad Haohmaru is within the first like 15 seconds of a game.

He's so fun

[timid dawn]

yes have fun

[simple axle]

It really is unfortunately that I just don't like top tiers

Sylvie and Geese are like the best characters I like

[timid dawn]

top tiers are for tryhards

[simple axle]

True that, after I try Gato. I'll probably just play Haohmaru, Shingo and I'll figure out the 3rd later

[timid dawn]

play Antonov

[simple axle]

Absolutely not

He seems fun but once again slow

If I could super out of a charge input DP I'd just run Leona anchor and meter dump like crazy

But I've only done it once

[timid dawn]

yea idk how to do it like that either very consistent at least

[covert torrent]

wanna know the shortcut for it

It's the same with heidern

[simple axle]

Absolutely

[smoky comet]

https://youtu.be/LqxBEUKhrbk

For context

[simple axle]

Yeah the one KOF channel told me, it ain't eazy but I can do it

I just kinda wish

It was easier

[smoky comet]

It becomes easier with practice

[simple axle]

I haven't been spending much time in the lab as I've just been wanting to get a feel for Geese/Kyo

Ryo*

But I'll keep practicing it I suppose

[smoky comet]

You only really need ten per side per day to get it locked into your muscle memory eventually

It's more a product of consistency than intensity practice-wise

[unreal wadi]

Good Morning.

[covert torrent]

The video Lou showed you is a pretty good example

[simple axle]

I got it now, I just gotta get used to it still

[covert torrent]

Usually what I do is chareg 2 slide my thumb to 7 then slide it to 6

so it should be 2147236

If you get a special move when sliding your thumb to 7 that means you aren't charging long enough

[simple axle]

Yeah I would just get a TK input when that happened

[quick aspen]

<@&1057859264267436092>

[drowsy silo]

Go to sleep

[quick aspen]

Play SF6 with me

[patent crypt]

@quick aspen Still interested in some matches?

[quick aspen]

I am!

Omw

124654

[patent crypt]

Alright.

I'm in.

Want to voice chat?

[quick aspen]

Sorry, I don't VC

[patent crypt]

Okay. I'll put on some Judas Priest or something.

[quick aspen]

Lol
Cool
I'm listening to Kpop
Lmao

Glhf!

I like how you play

This is so cool

[patent crypt]

I'm playing like a dumbass.

[quick aspen]

I like the movements

[patent crypt]

I need to do better.

[quick aspen]

It's fine, you'll do better with time

You're not bad tho

[smoky comet]

Is it cool if I rotate in?

[patent crypt]

Sure.

[smoky comet]

Right on

[quick aspen]

We should make another room tho
This is ft3

[smoky comet]

Either/or

[quick aspen]

After this one new room then?

GOOD ONE

Lmao

[patent crypt]

I still fucking lost.

[simple axle]

<@&1057859264267436092> anyone want to bully my Geese?

[patent crypt]

I'm not worthy of using Iori, am I?

(Since I got clobbered in the last round.)

[wet hatch]

I'll throw hands

[simple axle]

You want to make a room?

[quick aspen]

We might wanna make a party

Or not

[smoky comet]

Ooooo, party room!!

[patent crypt]

I'm not opposed to it.

[quick aspen]

And you were doing well
Remember I'm one of the strongest players here
