I'm guessing it's frustrating for top players like Knee, who won on movement and defence to now have to deal with aggressive game mechanics that mitigate those strengths. Legacy players want to win with the fundamentals they've been using for the last 25 years.

Level 2 Super makes sense, could potentially also have it recover drive meter. To be honest though, even if she didn't have the healing mechanic it would be fine by me. Something about healing in a fighting game makes people super salty for some reason 😂

Elena would be cool. If she made it, I'm sure they wouldn't have the healing mechanic work the way it did in SF4. So far SF6 has excelled at character redesigns. Somehow they even managed to make Ed really awesome.

Not that I'm ever cheering for JP but have to give props for anyone escaping a level 2 Rashid situation. I'm usually taking damage 90% of the time. And for him to not only escape the mixups but end in level 3 is godlike.

Imagine being this good.

I remember there were a lot of people on SRK saying the 30th Anniversary port was ass. I owned the game and it seemed fine to me. Mind you I didn't have any other versions to compare it to, but it felt great offline in training mode and the online had rollback and was comparable to other games with rollback at the time.

Take a break or play for shorter periods. That's what I usually do if I feel my gameplay is going downhill. Play other games, even other fighting games. Watch replays of top Dee Jays like Fuudo. Sometimes coming back with a fresh mind and clean slate makes everything feel better for some reason.

It's a good list and my list is somewhat similar. I'd substitute Hugo for Sodom since he's a grappler that I feel we've been talking about for a while but he's never been added for some reason. Sagat, Makoto, Menat and Cody all bring the hype. I think Capcom will definitely have a slot for a new character. Every season barring the 1st DLC season of SFV (which was more of an extension of the launch roster) had at least one new character and they did the same with the first season in 6.

People complain about fighting games being hard and needing modern controls to play and this dude was playing USF4 with his mouth.

Kain was absolutely busted in MoW. Only character I've ever seen jump backwards while chucking fireballs.

Dude this looks so fucking sick. I was worried it might look like KOF but I'm loving the stylized graphics. I'm going to be playing this alongside SF6 and be a very happy man.

Cammy is perfectly balanced to me and I don't think she really needs big changes either way. There's clearly a group of characters that are slightly stronger but she can hold her own against most of the cast and doesn't have too many lopsided matchups.

He put up a great fight. AKI is cool.

Happy there might be 6 characters but hoping this leak isn't true because no Cody or Karin 😭

I got Sekiro vibes watching that. Really looking forward to Akuma.

For real. Wasn't this done and dusted already?

I have PTSD from Ryu players mashing that V-Trigger during my block strings. It was like Ed players mashing 3 punches for his reversal but worse because it led to 50% damage with his super.

I know it's not going to happen but I wish Ryu and Luke could swap spots in the tier list. Ryu is the true poster boy and deserves to be S tier for a change.

Every time I see a Bafael video it reminds me of when KingTubb said, "his voice makes me want to stuff him into a locker. "

@EvilCanadiancame through with the visual change guide:

I don't think Jamie got that much to be honest. The free drink off the forward throw is nice but every Jamie main just went for oki in that situation - I guess it's nice to have the option. The SA2 change where he keeps his drinks level after is nice but is more of a bug fix. And then he just got a minor damage buff and longer more plus after SA1. Nothing to write home about. Ryu's changes are much better, they actually affect his pressure with the hashogeki buffs and solar plexus proximity block change. A.K.I got a buffed crouch jab which is already an amazing normal and more active frames on st. medium punch. Gief getting the Alex treatment now with those Lariat buffs.

UMA played awesome. Surprised a Juri won with all those Luke's to go through. Was hilarious when Rob tried to take the trophy and he wouldn't let go 😂

UMA in Grand Finals with Juri. Hoping he takes it!

I knew LCQ was bound to be more hype with how whack the qualification process was this year and how many Luke's made it in to Capcom Cup.
