The first thing is to not try learning all of this stuff at once. There is definitely more to learn than in 5 but don’t overwhelm yourself trying to do it all at once. The most important things are to learn your character and get used to countering DI. The rest isn’t immediately necessary.

Wtf is going on with DeeJay’s overhead f.mk? It’s plus on block, gives a combo on hit, reaches far, and AA’s lol. The only weakness is that it hits a frame or two slower than other overheads. Here is a comparison: Deejay f.mk: 22f (first frame it can hit crouching) startup, +6 on hit (+5 standing), +1 on block - Juri f.mk: 21f startup, +2 on hit, -3 on block - Ryu/Guile f.mp: 20f start, +2 on hit, -3 on block - Manon OD Degage: 23f (hits crouching), +6/7 on hit, -3 on block - Marisa charged df.hp: 31f startup, +5 on hit, +2 on block It’s only marginally slower than the avg overheads yet is comparable on contact to a Marisa charged heavy or Manon burning meter…

I literally got put into losers after getting my pockets ran by DeeJay. Dude was A LOT better than the DeeJay’s I was used to and I wasn’t ready. Gonna lab him tonight I was struggling super hard. He was the only character I fought and had no idea what to do.

Definitely doing it again. Super fun, casuals against real people are great! Seeing and being on stream is hype, etc. supposedly they do these like every month or so. The biggest thing is that im in a room full of people yelling and bumping my seat instead of the comfort of my own home with no distractions. Pressure was getting to me I couldn’t think clearly smh

I’m out 😞 2-2, down to the last round. Couldn’t stop eating Rashid’s DP’s

I lost on stream 😞

2-0 so far. My guy was late but he came.

https://m.twitch.tv/shadowroyaltylive/schedule I think my first round is a no show 😞

https://www.start.gg/tournament/shadow-royalty-presents-king-of-shadows-2/details About to head out for this event in a little bit. 25 entrants so far. This is my first time going anywhere so I’m curious to see what it’s like 🙂

This is exactly why I wanted Haitani (?) to win EVO. I don’t have an issue with anyone playing modern but Modern vs Classic is completely dumb and there is a lot of ppl still pretending that isn’t the case.

At they actually doing server maintenance on a Thursday night? At a quarter to 11 no less? Fuck me for only being able to play after work I guess

1 button raging demon is coming Hope y’all got the Vaseline ready.

Gief is fun for me because it’s basically a race so see who will break and lose 40% off a mistake first. Both stressful and hilarious. Guile is just kinda middle of the road for me. Don’t dislike him, not a bad matchup (imo), but nothing about him is exciting or fun to watch/fight either. Feels like a basic bitch SF match lol. Yeah Jamie is pure knowledge checks and I really don’t enjoy fighting him. The only reason he’s in neutral is because I don’t fight him enough to actually dislike him. I’ve thought about using him for maybe a week or two just so I can actually learn the matchup. The drink thing makes him a pain to lab.

The fun to fight tier list List is ordered left to right as well. * Rashid is below Kim in Not Fun * Manon is in Not Fun because I hate mirrors * Frequency also plays a role. Marisa and Ken would be higher if they weren’t so damn common. * Jaime was almost down in Not Sure with Luke. I don’t fight them enough to have a solid opinion.

I’m with Hawk JP doesn’t really bother me much and I actually enjoy fighting him. The only thing I don’t like is that I think he gets too much damage/setup off of his counter on hit.

On god I hate this shit so much lol. Even suggesting a character should have throw loops in 5 got you sent to the gulag now niggas want to change up and act like they never hated it. Outside of that I don’t like throw loops either. To me it’s in the same box as drive rush: I understand why it’s here and I don’t HATE it, but it just does absolutely nothing for me as a viewer or player and I think the game is worse for having it What does irritate me tho is that characters with throw loops and good damage conversions or offense are better grapplers than the actual grapplers. Absolutely guarantee Ken is getting more work done with his back throw than Gief is with SPD.

Red is the part that hits. Green is what gets hit.

On the flip side, can we take a second to appreciate how much better hitbox are in SF6 compared to SFV? In 5 JP’s cane would be missing a hitbox for half/the entire stick and Chun’s arm would have maybe 2 pixels of forward disjointed hitbox.

Are SFV’s stages meaningfully smaller than 6? They feel like the exact same size to me but I wouldn’t swear to that.

Nah big stages are perfectly fine in SF6 where characters are using DR cross damn near the whole screen for 1 bar or act like Ken where they can pick what corner to put you in off pretty much any touch. Also parry isn’t needed to protect drive gauge. You regain at least half of whatever meter you spent on hit, and outside of very specific characters/circumstances like Honda/Marisa or big hit into SA nobody is getting burned out strictly from opp actions unless they were already (over)spending meter. Edit: Even taking out DR out of the equation there are wayyyy too many characters with moves sending them full screen to talk about shrinking stages/slowing down walk speeds. Talk to me about that when Blanka, Rashid, Honda, etc get looked at first.

This sounds like mid design decisions covering up bad design decisions lol

Grapplers in SF6 are being treated like FANGS poison in SFV where they are preemptively afraid of it being too strong so it comes out the gate already throttled. Atm they feel like the only archetype where they are punished for reaching their goal. It’s pretty disheartening seeing a bunch of other players drop your main.

1. You only take chip damage on burnout 2. specials and supers deal chip, not normals.

Holy shit what is the scaling on perfect parry? I was perfect parrying Blanka ball and I had to burn meter to get like 1 heavy normals worth of damage lmao

It is actually crazy to me that even after EVO some people still think drive impact is stronger than drive rush. Like are we playing/watching the same game?
