Shamelessly asked for Manon buffs and new Darkstalkers. Also Capcom is by far my favorite dev. I like Street Fighter but Megaman Battle Network is actually my favorite Capcom series.

Most of my disinterest in SF6 is the result of irl stress. I redownloaded it a couple weeks back bc I want to get back in but man I just don’t have the energy to play the game. When I do occasionally find the energy to play a video game I tend to go for something more relaxing like a single player game. I got Megaman Battle Network Legacy Collection as a Christmas gift and I’ve mostly been playing that. Playing SF6 is a lot more stress and mental involvement, and that’s after the fact the only character I like isn’t very good haha.

Jesus Christ that was some of the sloppiest non-Philly playoff football I’ve ever seen by the Ravens tonight. Reffing towards the end definitely feeds the “NFL is rigged/WWE vibes”, but really Baltimore was just bad. Also I need a Lions upset I cannot watch a Chiefs/49’ers Super Bowl. Absolutely 0 interest in seeing that matchup. Edit: Already glazing tf outta Reid and Mahomes as if they put on some kind of elite performance when it was mostly just the Ravens offense imploding. Ravens held them to 3 points in their last 9 drives lol

I tried out Chun-Li finally and it’s weird. On paper this character has everything I’d want (fun/unique combos, fireball, DP, long buttons), but actually using her idk she just doesn’t make it for me. Just doesn’t have that *it* factor for me. Guess I’ll just wait to see with Manon in S2.

I genuinely do not think devs aim for real balance, at least not in the colloquial sense. It seems to be me they start with an idea for what they want to do (regardless of how healthy it is) and work backwards to make it passable.

I actually wanted Ron Rivera but at this point I’ll settle for anyone with NFL coaching experience. As soon as I saw Patrica dropping our best pass rushers into coverage I knew we were cooked

lol this paragraph is exactly the issue I have with SF6’s balancing. You have characters like Jamie who need to make meaningful choices during their gameplay loop with actual weaknesses in mind. Then you have other characters where it seems like the design ethos was “lol give em everything”. It feels like there is two different philosophies at work here. Also actually looking at the roster it bugs me how with the exception of JP pretty much all the SF6 newcomers are mediocre.

Funny thing is that I don’t really see asking for those characters to be top tier, just for their glaring flaws to be fixed. The meta isn’t gonna be broken by Gief getting a functional level 1 super lol. Answering the original question, I think Jamie or Kimberly are the biggest contenders for “most likely to be over buffed”. Edit: I agree with twin lol. I don’t think he’s secret top tier or anything but I definitely do not think he’s as bad as ppl are trying to say he is. Just having a DP, cancelable low, and usable drive rush puts him above the actually bad characters

Is it worth it to jump back into SF6 now or should I just wait for the balance patch? Thinking about giving Chun-Li a spin.

I do not like Ed, but credit where it’s due…his look in 6 is WAY better than SFV. Pale and a bit washed out color wise really suits him, and his new outfit is perfect imo. Street clothes with no shirt >>> Shadaloo reject rags. Also I might be reaching, but I feel like the trailer implied a greater reliance on boxing vs Psycho Power for his fight style. Would be an interesting development. Ngl I watched this trailer ready to make “when’s Akuma” jokes but I’m genuinely impressed. Reserving final judgement for gameplay footage but trailer to trailer I’d say he’s the best looking DLC character so far.

I’m curious to see if they stick with the 4 characters per season thing. I really like it this way but I know a lot of people aren’t happy with it. Hoping for Laura in S2 I think she would be AMAZING in SF6. Unfortunately I don’t expect to see Vega or Charlie in this game.

Ed pick is legitimately baffling to me. Even if we ignore the fact SFA and SF3 are unrepresented, SFV is overflowing with amazing original characters and top tier redesigns…and we get Ed. Shadaloo-at-home flavored generic white blonde guy. Even if I give Capcom the benefit of the doubt and assume they are saving the real SFV heavy hitters like Laura and Menat to drive sales in later seasons…you gonna sit here and tell me Ed is better than G? Kolin? Fem Seth? Zeku? lol no

These dudes are hilarious their vids legitimately have me hollering. They have a lot of skits just like this for basketball lol this is the first NFL one I’ve seen lmao. Hood Olympics 3 and the one about horror movies are classics lol

I watched probably 90% of our snaps this year and there is a few things going on. Spoilers for length Finally, because we were a 10 win team a lot of valid criticisms were ignored. As mentioned the Eagles were failing the eye test as early as week 2, yet you got the feeling a lot of it was brushed of bc “hey but the won right?”

As a birds fan this has to be the one of the worst collapses I’ve seen in team history. Actually insane how bad we are compared to our record and (on paper) talent. The time is 10:42pm and by this time tomorrow I’m hoping every coach on this team is gone.

This was an ok video. Adding delay getup: From a purely visual standpoint I absolutely HATE DWU because I think a fighter just laying on the ground to “dodge” an attack looks ridiculous and unintuitive. With that out of the way…I definitely agree with Justin saying that oki is a little too automatic in 6. I also like what he said about DWU making the other person miss their drive rush meaty. They can still meaty you after, but as we know most buttons in SF6 aren’t plus with DR so it would be interesting. Nerf parry: Agreed, but only if we are also toning down some offensive options as well. Parry in its current implementation is dumb but I feel like a lot of offensive options in 6 are built with the strength of parry in mind. Just nerfing parry with no other adjustments would have a pretty big unforeseen domino effects. Drive Reversal faster and refunds some bar: I agree with Justin that doing both of these might be overboard, but I’m not sure. Could work with the right number tweaks Make some level 1’s more invul: yes god please. Hard disagree on Justin’s counterpoint about seeing level 3’s less being a bad thing. Nerf the heavy>drive impact checkmate in burnout: lol no. I actually that this specific situation is dumb, but I fundamentally disagree with improving burnout in any way. Being burnt out and close to the corner means you goofed up majorly earlier in the match. Hold that lol Refunding more meter during supers: again lol no. 6 is already extremely generous with drive gauge the is 0 reason it needs to be upped even more

I think Charger is pretty damn good name for an EV lol. Joking aside, it’s all but confirmed it’ll have both an EV or TT I6 powertrain. Not sure how popular it’ll be but If it does flop I’ll happily buy one at a discount.

Cool video on the new GR Yaris. Not available here in the USA but theoretically a lot of these changes should make it to the GR Corolla. New torque converter auto, more driver centric interior, revised diff (read: shouldn’t overheat anymore), and a couple other changes. https://www.instagram.com/p/C2ASmjCMkR1/?igsh=OHZ3cTExN3oxNzFy (Finally) a good look at the new pre-production Charger. Gorgeous front but that rear is funny looking imo. Also lol at most of the comments being “lol no V8”.

Funny enough the thing that broke my drive to play SF6…a week before (iirc) my last tournament I was training in ranked and at one point I had fought Ken like 8 matches in a row. Then at the tournament my last 3 matches were JP>Ken>Ken. That was last week of September and according to Steam I haven’t played the game since lol. I really miss Manon but then I watch footage of SF6 or remember my last experience with the game and I don’t play. My last go broke me mentally.

People acting big over a video game will never not be corny to me lol. One thing I appreciate about gaming with people in person is that the fear of getting chin checked keeps people respectful.

I might agree with all of this on a track/weekend car. Talking purely recreation a bit of drama is fun. I’m mostly talking about a car as a daily driver though. Between traffic, merging, imperfection road conditions, and generally just unexpected variables, I want to be able to go hammer on anvil with my inputs and the cars goes with no fuss. No wheels spinning, no rear stepping out, no transmission taking 10 years to downshift, etc. Talking purely in terms of personality, I’m very much a “all or nothing/it just works” kind of guy and I’m not a huge fan of things that require lots of finesse or precision. I go for layups over shots in basketball, 100m dash is my favorite sport, shotguns are my favorite guns in FPS games, I use the most straight forward characters in Street Fighter, lifting weights is my favorite activity, and so on. One of the reasons I enjoy working on cars over something like electronics is because of how heavy handed I can be with parts and tools and not worry about breaking anything.

lol I’m going back and forth on the RWD vs AWD thing. The main thing I’m not enjoying about RWD is all the wheel spin when I want to accelerate hard. Breaking traction is fun when I’m purposefully trying to kick the rear end out, but the other 90% of the time when I floor it I want the power to go down as clean as possible. The rear stepping out because I got on the throttle half a second too early coming out of a corner or bc it’s rained at any point in the last 12 hours irritates me. The issue I’m having is that the selection of fun AWD cars feels super slim compared to RWD. Like Darc said I want something more visceral than my Mustang and outside of the WRX and Lancer it feels like all the options are isolated, worse sounding (than my 5.0) luxury cars. Right now my shortlist of cars I’m looking at is: Brembo/Track Pack/Boss 302 Mustang Pursuit Package Charger Twins WRX (regular or STI)

A guest character feels inevitable at this point. As much as I don’t want that I’ll admit it does feel odd to have all these hyped collabs that don’t actually deliver any content that players would want lol.

Yeah my dream car Pursuit V8/AWD Charger is ~4500lbs, so an EV being even more than that is nutty to me. Some people laugh but to this day so far the most fun car I’ve driven is my Ex’s clapped out 90’s civic. Small, light (2600 range iirc), fart can exhaust, no power steering, and slammed on the cheapest coilovers money can buy. Car had like 150HP and would scrape the ground if you so much as looked at a driveway or speed bump, but fuck did I love that car.
