bnb’s- lk,lk, lightning I use this a lot you can switch it up and throw. Also after certain knockdowns to pressure on their wakeup. It can also go into SA2 if you use od lightning instead. b.mk/mk dr. Cancel hp, coward crouch wild lift you can sa1,upball, or for oki df.hp and dash up and be plus 7 I think. How do I deal with di’s? I try my best but honestly watch your long range buttons lots of them lose to di. F.mk does even when plus I’m pretty sure. I’m just now getting used to reacting to them it cost me alot still. Counter hit combos I honestly didn’t focus too much on and just used standard block strings. Hardest match ups? For me personally guile,Ken , deejay no particular order. i could have added more but it’s already a wall of text😅

thanks! Anything specific you need help on with him?

I struggled a little around Diamond5 I still haven’t learned any of the fancier sa2 combos but I can’t lie I’m proud of myself lol.

I love watching snake eyes play but also hate it already seen a bunch of knee jerk reactions of people saying git gud look at snake. Same thing happened when he won that strive tourney with Potemkin last patch.

Good try @Vhozite you definitely put up a good fight.

Good luck @Vhozite !

After evo and the Saudi tournament I’ve seen a lot of competitive players decide to check out modern. And I don’t blame them either with these big money tournaments on the line. Not sure if it’s a hot take but unless they make changes I think by the end of the games life cycle I think way more pros will switch to modern.

Yeah the Saudis suck but they’re giving out the bag right now and I enjoy seeing players get money. They just made a couple posts about performance bonuses Mena got one for going undefeated in the group stage and daigo got one for most dominate when he got 3 perfects on luffy. Each bonus is 10k. I don’t know how sustainable this all is but hell get it while you can. Some of the comments from players really puts it in perspective how little the payouts are. Arslan ash commented that the performance bonus was more than he got for winning evo.

It’s been exciting watching punk go from almost being eliminated to right now having 100k guaranteed. The splits are better than evo and cap cup just gotta hope they actually send the money😂

Okay that makes sense

JP got the best command grab in the game unless you’re paying attention to audio cues you get conditioned to block his bs and surprise lol. Zangief needs buffs they took the stupid route of big damage but left him with no way to really use it. i understand they don’t want him OP but he needs SOMETHING. The only character I don’t understand needing buffs is Jamie. I see people everywhere saying he’s weak but I get shit on by Jamie. I feel like I have to block for days and this nigga got a command grab that goes into more shit. His dive kick is ass though.

Roll me up one of what you’re smoking

I’ll be honest I don’t even know how to do DR lol. But you’re absolutely right about DR being needed at high level. I’m almost at Diamond 4 and realizing the entire system is needed and being aware of when and where to use it. I don’t really use drive gauge for anything besides OD moves and combo extensions. But the fact that parry just blocks mixups for you reminds me to use it more. I just know my meter management is ass so I try to be frugal with it lol.

Shit I’d give just about anything to be able to use ds4 over the atrocity that is the ds5 . I’ve learned to tolerate it but it’s ass. Considered buying the victrix fight pad but 200$ for a pad is kind of nuts to me

$15 dollars?? we got tmnt at home…

Looking at the battle pass I immediately got flashbacks to apex. I guess we’ll find out if it works later but for now capcom is definitely going after this as if they were a triple a shooter. The battle pass is full of random bs Knick knacks to keep you going then anything you’d normally unlock in a fighting game is locked behind coins. Only having two colors available on the default costume is gross af. I think they should have given a little more content because at the end of the day this a game I payed 60$ for I shouldn’t have to buy some of this shit. Grind for it.. fine but I shouldn’t get nickel and dimed for every little thing

The amount of drive impact’s eaten makes me feel better about my reactions. With a million on the line it seems like such a liability when playing people of this skill level

E-sports but yeah I don’t know why we need all these breaks. Run the sets my guy

They dragging this shit…

I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s why they are commentating maybe an announcement

That trailer was hype and I’m not a nrs guy.

No that’s not me I think there’s a few other illwills maybe I needed a more unique name lol. A couple times I’ve gone to a old school nyc fgc players stream they’re like “oh shit what’s up illwill how ya been?” I feel like a disappointment everytime😂

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one watching that. He played Ken in sfv I’m still amazed at how much awareness he has without seeing. But yeah that L gotta be emotional damage

Tachikawa using modern too I’ll be rooting against them😤

I’m more shocked that it was decided this late
