Can't wait until they get it implemented properly. I can pick the game back up and start getting bodied by @Mattatsuagain.

I don’t ever remember bodying you friend, but I’m down to try again

Sounds right - you still playing Cammy? Still have a char crisis ongoing, but practised a few DR combos as her and starting to enjoy, might try maining her for a bit if I ever get over this hump

No, I’m pretty much locked onto Cammy.

I’m starting to think I only had a character crisis in V because that game sucked 😏

Just a hunch, but I think we may find out in a few months, if @Bigtochirosees us as worthy

That’s what I was thinking too. Dude just smoked me lol

Who’s Deacontochiro here?

Is Rage not white people music? I’ve never listened to them or heard their music so I have no idea. But from the name it sounds very white

It is “white people music”, the issue some people had is that the guitarist is black, and singer/rapper is Latino.

They also do a lot of hip-hop influenced music, with the rapper being a great lyricist (and nothing comparable to Limp Bizkit or shit like that, actually really good music).

A lot of their music is about equal rights (especially praising pro-black movements, criticizing police, etc), but at the end of the day, it is music typically listened to by white people

Yeah, I think the default colours thing (and lack of drive tickets) is shitty.

I don’t mind the fighting pass because you can get all of your fighting coins back and you can buy it near the end of the pass so you’ll know if it’s worthwhile to buy I not. I do think most items in it suck, but now that the TMNT theme has taken over the battle hub, I’m glad I’ve earned some SF2 themes I can add to playlist and play instead.

the TMNT skins and anything related to your avatar is pretty gross greed, but I think outfit 3 and future outfits will be reasonable so I don’t care too much

I am not talking about dropping combos and not timing stuff right.  I'm not talking about making mistakes.

 

I am talking about having a short term memory and not letting things like that stay around on my mind and put me on tilt for the rest of the match, and even some of the matches after.

I already posted my help for the rest of the match, but I also don’t start a new set if I’m already tilted. In those cases, I watch the replays of the last match (or matches) that upset me to see what I did wrong (or could do better) and lab it, or focus on applying fixes in future casual matches 

@purbeast definitely easier said than done, but you just got to forget it and move on. Don’t even think about it, and if you think about it for a millisecond tell your brain to shut up and focus on the current events. It’s hard at the start but gets easier with practice.

one thing I do is sort of add it to my mental checklist and tell myself I’ll watch the replay later (if you’re playing on PS4/5, saving the last 15 mins of video after the match is helpful here). By adding it to a mental checklist, so to speak, I find it easier to move on.

I grinded that new tournaments they added to World Tour Mode. I had forgotten what it was like to have a challenge for my avatar. The blew through the majority of it, but the last  few tournaments were actually challenging. There are 12  total and you get a key (4 bronze, 4 silver, and 4 gold) after completing each the unlocks a room with rewards. A few of the rooms have fake versions of Boxer, Claw, and Sagat in them as optional fights. Buff Alo was the Boxer one IIRC. Claw was named Claudio. Sagat was named Lane Sagat.

Were any of the rewards Drive Tickets?

Damn, I liked Densetsu a lot. He was one my biggest inspirations to get a Hitbox several years ago. He was a really nice and funny guy, and a great player and musician as well. That’s very sad.

What kinda asshole determine that JP needed a fireball feint lol

Would they pronounce his name the right way (rye) or the wrong way (ray)? Lol

Regarding the battle pass, in hindsight I’m glad it doesn’t have colours and outfits.

I was worried those were going to be limited-time offerings only received through battle passes.

instead, I’m assuming they will be individual shop items, which is my preference anyway

next shill pass just dropped 

Not extremely pleased that you have to pay real for the music, and it’s the only thing in the pack remotely interesting to me.

how do premium battle passes work generally? Do you have to pay money in advance just for the option to earn the rewards (but it’s still on you to earn them or not)?

also, I hope the free rewards include drive tickets. I need more colours

Were there really people concerned that Modern controls would have taken over Classic ones?

I was playing Ranked last night and a Manon reacted to my somewhat-close neutral drive rush with her LVL1 super, and I didn’t see a buffer…

I told myself I needed to pay more attention to when I was playing someone with the dreaded “M”.

I watched the replay later and she was using classic, lol. I guess she did the input during the screen freeze.

I think off his sweep target combo into drink and ex rekka into drink hes + on the knockdown. Ex palm also seems to let him get two drinks on a lot of the cast without a punish. That said base Jamie definitely is not very strong, and people always gravitate to whats stable. He looks really fun though, and the drinks do pay off...if he gets them

I heard someone translate the discussion on that tier list and it came down to "down down motion for a dp is actually bad because it means she has to stop moving to use it. Good input defensively, but not good for advancing and keeping ground" and "not having a throw loop in the corner in this game really sucks". They all seemed to agree she has a lot of potential though.

I also heard that with the down down DP motion, you have to stand to do it. You can’t maintain crouching and do DF, D, DF like you can with a normal DP motion, which may allow you to get hit, but to me it seems like you’d probably get hit anyway as you’d be too late at that point, I don’t know.

This distraction alone bumps her up a tier

They’ve could’ve changed the control scheme. Maybe they’ve finally ditched the useless stance switch button 

that would be great

The backgrounds yes, those are exquisite and possibly the most detailed ever, but the models themselves and how they animate are so flat. Like the way the bodies move in some combos is so off even by MK standards.

The base designs are also so similar with so little variation. A bit too simple.

Raiden and Kung Lao look so similar in shape, proportions, size, and clothing. Mileena and Kitana also. Scorpion and Sub. And then Cage and Kenshi. Couldn't immediately tell them apart until I saw Kenshi's specials.



Like this is a step down in terms of character designs from MK 11 and MK X.

edit- I will give them credit for the music choice in the trailer btw. Very nice departure from previous games and I hope the game music is this good.
 

The game looks great graphically, but to be very honest, there were times where some of the models felt like they were coming out a mobile game to me.

The gameplay didn’t impress me either. The assist function should be something I like (but it just seems like an MK11 modifier) as well as the air combos, but I don’t know, it just reminded me way too much of MK11 (especially in regards to movement and neutral flow) and I got turned off.

The story/reveal trailer was a disappointment to me, but I was hoping this reveal would turn things around but it only confirmed that I’ll be skipping this game…

kinda sad since this has been one of my favourite franchises since I saw my first OGMK cabinet 30 years ago, but it is what it is.

Seems like SF6 will be my main FG for some years to come (and I’m definitely okay with that).

(edit to add) also, since the assists seem to be able to come in with different attacks, it will likely use the right analog stick like MK11 did, so RIP stick/leverless players - which if true, will probably prevent me from buying this on a flash $10 sale in 3 years

@Hawkingbird(or anyone who has played these games) help me find a main in SF6 based on my past mains. 
 

SF4: Vega

SFV: Nash

Injustice 2: Supergirl

MK11: Frost

Xrd: Baiken

Strive: Nagoryuki

 

I love SF6 but so far nobody is scratching the itch

Based on this list, I’m going to say Cammy, Ken, or maybe Juri… Or you may be a Rashidoh main

Yeah I’m hoping it doesn’t take forever to get blanka in world tour. And my avatar looking like a straight cornball is definitely motivation to grind it more😂

He’s found pretty early. Maybe the 4th/5th character, iirc

“I’ve been awake for hours and my wrists are sore. 1/10. Shit game”

Been grinding WT Mode to see Cammy’s ass in a G string (joking, not really), and decided to try out avatar battle for the drive tickets rewards today… I didn’t realize your stats from WT Mode carried over (like health, drive gauge amounts, abilities, etc).

I understand the special moves and stuff carrying over, but I feel like these avatar battles should be even in terms of stats.

like yeah, I can see some people really grinding WTM and would want their hard work to pay off, but who doesn’t love a fair fight?

How you unlock jukebox mode and the tracks? Not a big fan of the music in this besides a few standouts

I heard you’ll need to unlock music with the fighting (battle) passes. I hope that’s not true because while Cammy’s theme is one of the few I really like, listening to it for hours in training mode is going to make me hate it

How did you get s many so fast? I just got to 1000 earlier this morning and used them to buy a single colour.

You get drive tickets with the deluxe/ultimate versions. Buying the ultimate version gave 7700 drive tickets out the door (the deluxe version was less but I don’t recall how much)…

I’d imagine you’d get them when you buy the season passes as well, but idk for sure
