Volt

Friendly reminder the devs still haven't said if she's underage or not 

Dislike: Heights

I gotta give it up to these guys. They look like they legit love street fighter. Everything about it feels like its them wanting to bring something they love in a new light.

Rose of Versailles Manon and fem!Urien Marisa.
SFVI costumes are already looking good.

So THAT was it.
 
It'll probably be just fine when you get wired up. 👍
 
Got Dhalsim. Makes sense.

Hmmmmm do you play SFV? 

THEY GAVE MANON THE SOUL CALIBUR 2 ALT!!!! IM BACK ON WHITE WOMEN ALERT ALERT IM BACK ON WHITE WOMEN!!!!!

Here's some important bits:







Tried to get as clear as possible but you can see many characters and alts,

First pic: Damn'd and what looks like Retsu Alt at the bottom left. Guile and Manon Alts in the middle left.

Second pic: AKI, JP, and Akuma alts are visible. JP in trench coat and traditional Nayshall outfit.

Third: Another Akuma Alt is seen and the bottom half of Rashid.

SF6 test just being gentle trying to get you used with the idea of play as a large ape, Blanka was their best pick for that
 
Stop resist @Daemos, the days as wannabe Karate Mussolini are over
 

Yoooo Marisa alt outfits. Urien suit and Greek hoplite helmet hair. And double boob window pog.
 

Damn I didn't know you were sponsored by @TWINBLADES👀

Ryu has a throw loop, he was the closest thing to a grappler this beta. 🤣
 
As for my impressions...
 
First things first. The netcode is good.
 
I played pretty much everyone, the matches were playable, and I honestly suspect that my setup is what made it laggy for me. Misterbee actually called me out because I was talking about it and he was like "It's 1f delay with 150 ping, wtf are you complaining about?" For a Rio-NYC connection, that's actually kind of absurd. The only one that I didn't have a good connection with was @Counterstrike
 
The game itself is really nice, I pretty much hate most of the Drive mechanics, especially Drive Impact because it's so damn unintuitive to counter now that I haven't played SF4 for over a damn decade now. No armor break specials suuuuuuuuuck.
 
I played Ken and Ryu. 
 
Ryu feels the best he's been in a loooong time. It's actually unsettling to actually have offensive options with him after SFV. They did take out a lot of stuff I used with him though, playing him felt like writing with my left hand. Throw loops are life. I'm 100% not playing him if I can help it tho.
 
Ken feels weird and is kind of a regression compared to SFV when it comes to his specials. Vhozite plays a lot better than me so he can get into better detail why like he did in another post. The Tatsu regression is probably the worst IMO. His new specials are alright, but I'll need some practice to get them down, EX Dragon Lash is great.
St. HK is damn near useless. St. MK covers the exact same range but it's a lot safer in general. I can't cancel Cr. MK into Jinrai to save my life, Lost a bunch of matches trying to stuff Impact with Jinrai and it got bonked too. There's definitely something I gotta iron out in my setup. His lv. 1 is kind of a bust. The range is just too short, he kicks too high, I hate it.
 
The cool thing about both of them is that they're clearly going to be wildly different from Akuma. Ken's new Shippu Kicks are great to differentiate him on offense, though the EX follow-up shouldn't have been locked to EX.
 
I like that they did not have any Grapplers in this beta. That means they won't be nerfed before release. 
 
The cabs need a little more streamlining. Having to manually spectate every match sucks. Training mode is absurdly good, you even got presets for AA practicing and everything. Can't wait to get my hands on the full cast, but I'll have to since I only get paid on the 10th 🤣
 
The character creator is overwhelming, that thing is C R A Z Y.  I had a good time with the game in general.
 

So THAT was it.
 
It'll probably be just fine when you get wired up. 👍

The quiz gave me Guile. This quiz is a lie

I knew I would get JP as soon as I started the quiz because the all the answers are so binary lol. We need that guy who made the quiz from Xrd. 

I figured at the end of the quiz you'd get this....

Apparently, I should be maining Honda or JP on Classic. @EvilCanadianshould be proud! 

thing gave me ken
 
its obviously broken, send it hte fuck back

We should love it as long it last
 
After enough internet whining Zangief Season 2 patch devs notes be like
 
"Mostly buffs, we wanted to improve Zangief striking game to make him more exciting to play"
+ stLP range slighty increased
+ stMK hurtbox fixed to avoid being accidentally hit on tuesday by moves that in theory should not hit him
+ Tundra Storm can now counter also Guile crMP during second round
- Zangief normal and special throws have been removed

its always weird to me when I see people treating me like im some kinda big deal
like, I never stopped being the same guy ive been for the last forever

Seeing random people mention Evil Canadian will never stop being weird/hype.

Bold of you to think I know or pay attention to anything.
 
All I do is push random buttons and arbitrarily DP/flash kick...and it breaks people.
 
🙂
 
I don't see why anyone would complain about the crack, especially people who have been in the scene a long time.
 
Are people just forgetting how Japan got many games up to a YEAR earlier than the US?  During the SF4 days all of North America had to rely on a few cabs in SoCal and like 4 cabs in NYC.  Japan basically played for an entire year before the US even got a chance to play the console release.  For older games the time and knowledge gap was even worse since there wasn't nearly as much easily accessible and reliable info on the internet, and sometimes the US never even got games at all.
 
Shit will sort itself out in two months after release anyway.  These days people learn and share tech so fast any knowledge gap closes very quickly.
 
People are losing their minds but let's be real - FG competitive scene has never been 'fair' and it doesn't even matter.  The only people who will be able to rise to the top will be the ones who grind a ton anyway, with or without a head start.
