The only time I've used her target combo was when it came out by accident. I legit forget that shyt is even a thing. I really only use F.HK when I'm doing my corner drive rush combo. Outside of that, sometimes I like to throw f.HK out to catch people whiffing certain normals from a distance. Both are very forgettable.

Yesterday would've been PianoDensetsu's 30th Birthday. Happy Heavenly Birthday.

Street Fighter 6 was a banger. The best top 6 by far. You could feel the intensity from the comforts of your home. All of the grinding was showcased at the highest level. I'm so glad SF6 had a strong finish. This game is only going to get better going forward.

Yo, the MR grind is friggin rough. You can have stretches where you'll be lucky to gain 3-4 points from winning a set. Losing a single game will drop you by a good amount. They haven't specified, but I don't think "Legend" is a Warlord type of rank you acquire with a certain amount of points. I think it's awarded to the top 3 or top 10 on the leaderboards once the 3 month period ends. It definitely does a good job in showing your overall rank, but it can be hard to maintain with the win/loss gain. Another annoying thing is matchmaking seems slower than it was before they added this. I remember when I'd be queued up for a match immediately after finishing a set. Now the wait times are longer... I'm just gonna keep playing normally.

The new system reminds me of Super SF4's system. League Points is SF6's equivalent of the Battle Point system. As everyone knows, BP was a per character thing. "Master Rate" is more akin to Player Points. Unlike BP, these are your main points regardless of who you're using. So LP kinda feels like it's in the background now.

Rashid's Story

Rashid to Luke: “Good game! We gotta do it again sometime, either in real life or with a controller!” Luke to Rashid: “Good games, bud! Wait, you were recording that? Nice, I want to see!” Rashid to Jamie: “You’re a peacekeeper? Good to hear it. We all must help people in need.” Jamie to Rashid: “Bro, your wind is awesome. At helping me sober up.” Rashid to Manon: “There’s something about you...Wait, you’re a model? That explains everything!” Manon to Rashid: “Oh, you wish to film me? Sorry, but I’m fully booked.” Rashid to Kimberly: “Wow, for a ninja you’ve got some STYLE. I bet your moves would look good on stream!” Kimberly to Rashid: “You got all of my Ninjastar moves recorded? It’s all based on Bushinryu, you know.” Rashid to Marisa: “You really know how to lay on the pressure. Good thing I have the wind on my side.” Marisa to Rashid: “Not even the wind can stand firm against my fists!” Rashid to Lily: “Your wind is also amazing. It’s like a mini-hurricane!” Lily to Rashid: “I believe your answer lies within the wind. Perhaps start there?” Rashid to JP: “I’ve decided I’m not a fan of you or your power. Real bad guy vibes from you.” JP to Rashid: “Don’t approach me with fairweather ambitions. Next time they may be the end of you.” Rashid to Juri: “This isn’t some “you should be more ladylike” thing, but...shouldn’t you take it down a notch?” Juri to Rashid: “You better upload this video of where I kicked your butt too!” Rashid to Dee Jay: “Yeah, your beat’s a real crowd-pleaser! I’m glad I recorded the whole thing!” Dee Jay to Rashid: “Dry wind drifting across a rolling desert...I like that vibe! Very ambient.” Rashid to Cammy: “You were looking for your sisters, right? I hope you found them safe and sound.” Cammy to Rashid: “I have matters to attend to. You’re filming fights for entertainment? Find someone else.” Rashid to Ryu: “It’s always a sobering experience fighting you. I learn something new every time.” Ryu to Rashid: “We need a rematch where you’re more serious. I know you’re capable of much more.” Rashid to Honda: “It’s crazy that sumo wrestlers can fly like that when you’re double my size! Haha!” Honda to Rashid: “Being light on yer feet is all fine and dandy...Until you get slapped away! Gahaha!” Rashid to Blanka: “Your electricity broke my camera! What’s gonna happen to my vids!?” Blanka to Rashid: “You took a video? Let me see! Am I there!?” Rashid to Guile: “Your defense is on point, just like your hair. But this time, my wind was the deciding factor.” Guile to Rashid: “Sorry, but that kind of wind can’t even mess up a single strand of my hair.” Rashid to Ken: “Heard all the rumors about you, but I’m glad to see your fire still burns.” Ken to Rashid: “Gonna have to ask you not to upload that one. I don’t need any more media coverage.” Rashid to Chun-Li: “You’re teaching kids kung fu? You’re not teaching them THOSE kicks, are you?” Chun-Li to Rashid: “You fought hard when we took down Shadaloo. But you’ve neglected your training.” Rashid to Zangief: “No one can hold down the roaring winds of the desert!” Zangief to Rashid: “Neither the wind, nor the clouds can escape my arms of steel! I’m just built different! Gwaha!” Rashid to Dhalsim: “Your stretchy stuff always throws me for a loop, no matter how many times I see it.” Dhalsim to Rashid: “Yoga is not just about stretching. Its essence can also seize your wind.” Rashid to Rashid: “I leave it to the wind to see how far I can go.”

Back to (imaginary) Ultimate Grandmaster with Cammy. What a fun grind. I wanted to at least hit 100k before the inevitable reset, but I see the developers said there won't be one. No complaints from me.

Blanka took my 42 streak. I ain't even mad.

Got my first 20 and 30 streak today. I'd always get close to 20, but would lose around 18 or 19. Not sure how I jumped to 30. I doubt I'll ever match my SFV streak of 86 straight wins. I also somehow won 99 of my last 100 matches during that run. That was insanely difficult. Ran into Jebailey's Blanka and Art's Sim earlier (before the streak) as well. Might jump on World Tour now.

Jerry Bogard in the Battle Hub.

My situational awareness has improved a good bit, though I still find a way to burn myself at the worst possible times. That's something I gotta get in order. Other than that, I just gotta keep playing. Ready for some World Tour Mode.

Rashid got his Hot Boy Summer glow up. I can't wait to try him out.
