I hope the actual balance patch shakes things up more than this,  guess we’ll see in a couple weeks.

I've played BG3 over 2.5 times as much as I played my PS5 all last year. I've played a game this much since Fire Emblem Three Houses but the playtime on that gets padded by the atrocious load times.

I bought it last week on a whim because of reviews and I had psn cards from Christmas. I’m getting my ass kicked but I’m having so much fun.

Man, I am continually shocked at how bad strategy conversations are overall on twitter.  Legitimately don't know how people can claim this is better than SRK.

 

The neatest thing has been, surprisingly enough, how great twitter is for being nice to people. Also for dispersing tech on accident, twitter is pretty great. Overall though? The social media era has not done as much as it could to really help people get better.

I feel this way about just about everything not just fgc, forums are superior. Or maybe I’m just old.

Happy Turkey day everybody

Was really hoping blanka would get an actual costume and not blanka Chan 😑, but there are some good ones in there.

I think parry in this game is kind of silly buy I don’t know if I’d say go straight to 3s style. But at the bare minimum having to choose low or high would be appreciated.

After playing a couple good Luke’s I thought about switching to him. But my ptsd from sfv and pride won’t let me lol. 
 

I always liked these graphs in sf5. 
 

Seems pointless to do at a video game event. Maybe they just wanted publicity but it just comes across as shitty and selfish.  Maybe if the tournament was sponsored by big oil buy they just look like bitches doing this.

Says a lot that a top Gief player is dropping him for Lily. Or maybe he's just learning Lily to counter Gief's bad matchups. She's 8-2 against A.K.I., after all...

Capcom is never gonna make gief top tier maybe not even decent. Remember all the pro gief players dropping him in 5.  
 

I’m curious to see what the balance patch looks like

They posted a snippet of it on Twitter a couple weeks ago and I saw comments and had to agree, they should have gotten actual hip hop artist like Benny instead of the kids bop stuff we got.

I need to stop building/upgrading PCs and playing RPGs to play more SF6. I've barely touched the game lately. I've been on a real technology kick as of late. If anyone is building a PC. The Fractal Meshify 2 is an AWESOME case.

I’m jealous I’m wanting to build a pc or even buy one, also thinking of getting a mini pc to plug into the main tv in my house to play old fighting games on fightcade.

Random as fuck if you are, but are you the same lilwill that we used to run Halo 2 from the IGN forums back in the day?

Nah not me lol

Imagine a Ken player taking the 'my-character-is-low-tier' route. Was it LTG you were playing?

I couldn’t believe it when he started going that route I tried explaining why he was wrong,  he replied “the only thing Ken has is throw loops and if he lost it he’d be bottom 5”.  I considered sharing it all the scrub quotes but said fuck it.

 At that point I knew he just didn’t know what he was talking about and didn’t wanna waste my time talking to a brick wall. 

Glad to see I’m not the only one with reversal trouble it tilts there fuck out of me when that happens. Plus I play blanka so it’s not like ex vertical ball is a hard input .

I haven’t been playing the game at all really but decided to get drunk and play some casual matches. Run into a master ranked Ken I barely win but scrape by with a win almost every time. I get a friend request and he ask if we can play in a custom room..sure.  
 

I know he’s low key salty and like a pansy i try the nice guy route and tell him I’m just a drunk guy trying to shake off the rust then the cockiness starts “yeah I can tell lol you’re not reacting to anything just being random”  I  3-0 him and start talking shit and the excuses start rolling in😂. I could have played him more but he was being a condescending bitch after every match.  “You’re only winning off throw damage, Ken is negative on almost everything, you’re playing blanka wrong etc etc”

i know I suck but the amount of delusional people who think they’re gods is kind of funny.

I would settle for DR not eating inputs. I think it's perfectly doable to react to them with a long range normal, provided it actually comes out when you press the button. Cr. fw. xx DR is still annoying, but I can live with it. 

 

 

It’s frustrating as fuck and on top of it dr seems to put me into some weird ass  twilight zone where if I manage to get a light button to come out it’s too early whiffs and I eat the drive rush or bigger button it doesn’t come out in time and I eat the drive rush lol.

 Patch notes seem to only be small tweaks but that was already confirmed that we’re not getting a balance patch until after cpt I’m pretty sure.

Yeah hopefully this is just the start because on wake-up I felt like I was already having to input super stupid fast in comparison to v and it still doesn’t come out .  And also random upball sometimes even after standing for a split second.

That idom clip was amazing, coincidence he’s in this one too lol.  Probably one of the few if only times I’ve seen him frustrated even if only a little lol.

CEOTaku is this weekend sf6 pools.

Who here getting master with all characters?

I don’t know if I’m capable of handling that lol.

 Just ran a bunch of sets with a pretty good jp, why are y’all lying saying he’s zoner lol.  In a game that requires most characters to power up or have limited stocks of the good shit JP just having unlimited access to portals is kind of nuts, on top of great buttons etc etc.

I had my sights set on getting to 2K MR, but this system makes it so hard. On top of getting the same exact people, I'll get a stretch of players that give me 2 MR or 1. Sometimes 0.  Then I'll get on a nice couple streaks and lose all my progress in like 4-5 games. I kinda just starting to care less about it.

Not that I’m good enough to get 2k mr but it’s so fucking tedious getting points after master the most I was able to get was 9 points and then if you lose yeah.. I played for a while and gained 2 points in the end so it’s probably accurate lol.

I took a break and played other games and came back a couple days ago. Ranked is rough but casual matchmaking is horrendous I’m fighting platinum ranked players and lower Diamond which is fine but if it does find someone near my rank it’s the same 2-3 people all day. 
 

between matchmaking and the input reader idk if I’ll put as much time into this as I did 5 and if I do it’ll be a slow burn with breaks in between.

General trick that has won me many matches: AA with st. roundhouse into fierce ball for over 2000 damage.

 

This x2. Being my first charge character I spent and still sometimes do too much time worrying about charge but this aa beats so much stuff. If it doesn’t send them flying too far you can get coward crouch into lift off of it too. Sometimes even on trade you can get something after like slide.  You can also do sa1/sa3 off of it

I have a feeling Ed is going to be a lot different in SF6. With Modern Controls being a default option, I think that's going to effect the input method of his moves. Honestly I hope they give him more boxing techniques.

I didn’t really care for him in 5 but as time has gone on I’m curious to see what he’s like in 6.  And I’m hoping he is more boxing focused, we ain’t got balrog or Dudley so it feels like we’re missing that

@ToreyBeans I sent you the blanka Google doc from discord it covers almost everything lmk if you need help with anything else
