  1. I’m so jealous of everyone here who has internet and can actually play rn. It’s gonna be a few days before I can play again 😭 

     

     

    Also on AKI’s poison…

    When she strikes an opponent who is already poisoned with moves like Serpent Lash, a Toxic Blossom triggers where the resulting explosion can open enemies up to follow-up attacks.“

     

    So AKI’s poison still depletes health like FANG, but with the side effect that she can literally blow you up if she hits you with certain attacks after. Not specifically what I was hoping for but as long as it’s better than FANGs it’s great.


    Not sure if I’ll be dropping Manon for her like I originally planned but I’m def gonna try her out.

    What is the counter play against dragon lash? And before someone says uhhh duur just lab it I already have. Every version of the move is gay as fuck and trying to react to it or perfect parry it is whack. Regular parry is also whack too. Someone give me hope to show that I’m just fucking retarded. 

    First thing you need to know is how to differentiate between versions. 
     

    Heavy version (+ on block) has Ken say a voice line (“how’s this” iirc) while light and medium are kinda generic grunts. Heavy is also much slower and reactable and can be jabbed. 
     

    That’s the basics. Me and Pert discuss that move a bit here

    TLDR: 

    1. jab/parry/whatever on reaction
    2. Recognize the sound check for heavy

    3. L/M lash stuff is unsafe and probably fake anyway

    4. If you’re gonna block it, block standing (treat it like a dive). 
    5. Dragonlash has low crush hitbox

     

     

    Also like Hawk said you can drive reversal the heavy version if you’re too late trying to stuff it.

    no drive rush

    What I don’t understand is how grapplers can’t get oki off command grabs but then also have to have a terrible drive rush. Like cmon isn’t that double dipping? 😆

     

    Juri gets to place a fireball then warp across the screen into my face but grapplers get sent to another zip code for doing their main gimmick?

    Wonder what they can do to help Zangoef too, seems lowest in most tier lists 

     

    Never liked Banishing Flat because looks retarded though, would like if they find way to help Gief without it lol

    Gief needs a command grab that doesn’t leave him a mile away and for Lariat, SA1, and SA2 to be actually functional. 
     

    Fix that stuff and he would be significantly better without needing to give him a whole new move.

    You want actual advice or memes?

     

     

    Ah yes another clip of JP spending more meter than he actually has to ape someone. 
     

    I’m really not sure what to blame here. On the one hand I think the meter meter system is flawed when someone can spend 6 bars of Drive on 4 drive rushes in one sequence despite starting with only 2.5 blocks. On the other hand, I see JP in these cracked out “lol meter management?” clips more than any other character so I’m not sure how much of the problem is him specifically.

    The main issue with ryu to me isn't that ken does everything better etc. it's that his denjin charge or whatever you call it almost feels like a nerf, I remember reading somewhere that it actually makes ryu worse in a way because you lose pressure,oki,etc. by stocking it. 

    Yeah Denjin is terrible and easily the worst “resource” in the game. The opportunity cost to stock it is super high (loss of time/reposition/oki) and for your trouble your reward is wasting it on a poke that probably won’t do anything or losing access to one of your best pokes so you get to run better offense. Jaime also has to give up something to drink, but he also stays buffed for the entire round AND has a super that gives him temporary max level. 

     

    The strange thing is that the other characters who have stores that buff multiple moves (Lily, Juri) can stack up to 3 at once while ryu only gets 1. Those characters also have attacks attack to their stores lol. Honda only can hold one sumo spirit, but unlike Ryu he doesn’t have to manage what move he uses it force since it only buffs HHS.

    But I can't help but feel like maybe the learning curve is steeper than at least SF5? Reacting to and countering DI, DR combos and getting the perfect parry timing is gonna take time.

    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.

  8. 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.

    I caught the Dee Jay game, it came close. How did you like it? Reckon you'll go again?

    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
