Seeing JP players raging about other JP players is the most funniest shyt ever. 

Joey was a Mika player and I guess he's not finding that in Manon. 

 

Regardless of how you feel about SF6, there's no way anyone can say SFV has it beat in player expression. Even with the low forward DR, it's not even close.

You know, I was a bit salty the other day because I played like shyt.

 

Then I realized...I felt this same exact way playing SFV early on. Well, a bit later. I was pretty ass early on.

 

Looking at some of my fav players, many of them have been getting their asses handed to them in ranked as well. They'd be at 2k MR and then suddenly back down in the 1900s. I was watching Brian F's stream yesterday and he was getting smoked ALL day.

 

I'm obviously not on their level, so it should be no surprise that the 1800-1900 is a sticking point for me. It's expected.

 

I guess my main point is that this isn't a race. I need to stop acting like it is. MR gets reset every 3 months anyway. Improvement remains. 

 

Overall, I''m still playing more Battle Hub matches. I feel like I can unwind and try out new stuff there.

 

That TMNT song was getting on my last fukkin nerves, but I'm used to it now.

Saw your match against Shine today on stream. Yeah seems rough once you get to the higher MR ranks and have to keep playing the same people. Same thing is happening to me in the lower MR ranks, same people over and over and a lot of them one and done for some reason.

 

In SFV once you hit diamond you were thrown to the wolves fighting Warlords. There was a huge group of players in the same pool. In SF6 every rank seems more protected but the downside is you'll constantly be getting matched up with the same players, especially at higher ranks.

 

I'll see a lot of Master players not run it back with Diamonds or those who don't give anything more than a few MR.

 

Personally, I run it back with all Diamonds because I just wanna play. I'll take that over fighting the same people multiple times within the same hr. 

 

I remember back in SFV when a player had just reached Diamond and were paired up with me almost immediately. I felt so bad lol.

Do what I did: Switch characters and go kick it in the battle hub.

 

One thing that I learned from the Strive experience is that the social portions of the tower made the whole experience of playing more fun. Just going to  the battle hub and playing randoms with characters I don't know kinda lessens the sweat aspect and allows me to vibe better.

 

 

 

I started chillin in the hub last night and I did find myself enjoying it.

 

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.

The past couple sessions have been awful.  I just can't vibe with this game at the moment. Feels like I hit a wall. Can't stop people from doing dumb shyt.

 

The matchmaking is supposedly fixed and yet I fight the same exact people MULTIPLE times within the same hr. No matter what time of the day I play. Too many people are playing this game to be paired with the same people. I don't want to have to blacklist players so I can have an actual fresh session.

 

Man, I'm just having less and less fun playing SF6.

What's the combo? Is it optimal or just a "I like it because its fun/looks cool" type of combo?

Man, Cammy gotta be the one character who gets better if you literally take moves away from her. Why she has that shitty St.HP target combo for forward HK is beyond me. They don't do shit other than randomly give you input errors.

 

@Doctrine_Dark Do you use her target combo or f.hk for anything?

 

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. 

 

 

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.
