EVO Japan, now starting at 3AM for Europeans viewers!

Let's fucking gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

At least you can watch top 8 (0r 6?)  on Sunday.

Just had someone in twitch chat tell me that, "Jamie absolutely beats Gief". "If you grind your AA's and play lame it's an easy win for Jamie". When I presented the catcammy data proving the contrary, all I got was radio silence....

Macro for short hop is craaaazy.

 

 

 

Looks like you can hold R1 + jump to get a hop. That's a nice addition since a lot of people struggle with hopping. 

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.

Yeah they could re-imagine it in whatever way

Maybe as Level 2 Super (where lot have an install) that make her gradually recover health little by little up to let's say 33% and can be stopped successfully hitting her... still powerful help but not as dominant as SF4

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 😂

I'm really hoping Dudley and Elena return

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.

Gonna find the post where I said JP being able to level 3 you from full screen was dumb shit so the non-believers can appreciate my gift of "sight."

 

That said, Rashid deserves it.

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.

Per random fightcade users (both good and bad players), the console port of 30th is considered to be "slow" and "feels off." I have never had a solid explanation as to why 30th anniversary is reviled so much for offline 3s. The 30th anniversary port is allowed by Jazzy Circuit, the grassroots 3s tournament series ran by the most dedicated 3s players. In terms of port quality, it is very good compared to every other port.

 

3s online edition is also pretty good but there are some issues with the balancing and the game running too fast. Yun's genei jin not scaling properly is one of the most glaring problems. Many players consider it to be a different game.

 

Everything else is either too slow, the sound queues are off, or straight up the wrong version of the game. They are also all very old.

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.

Well I've been dabbling in ranked a bit more recently and moved up from like 22k to 23.4k.

 

However I only go into ranked every now and then depending on how I am feeling.  I will do casual first and see how I'm feeling and I'm feeling good, go into ranked.

 

But I haven't been going into ranked much recently BECAUSE I'm feeling "off" when I am in casual matches.

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.

Sagat - Fei Long - Makoto - Hugo - Menat - Cody

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.

I think we all figured as much. I mean the lack of Cody is telling. Nakayama made it clear that he pushed for Cody to be on the Season 1 roster. I can't see him not being in the Season 2 DLC.

Kaine is gonna be the JP of this game and I'm gonna hate all of the edge lords that are gonna main him.

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

I’m 100% sold this look incredible holy shit 

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.

Its crazy to me still how good Cammy is but how other characters are just...way fucking better.

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.

AKI bros, we got matched against Mena.

 

Destiny is cruel. 😔

He put up a great fight. AKI is cool.

So the Season 2 roster may have leaked via Reddit by a leaker named shinvergeben back on March 9th. It wasn't until a week later where he/she provided further details on these characters. Take this with a grain of salt, of course:

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.

This whole situation is so corny to me, I feel like I shouldn't have known this was happening.

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

Tbh just for the fun factor would like Ryu get one more special 😁

 

Visually Hashogeki has been most boring shit ever (Lv2 SA is badass though), who the hell thought would have been cool give him as new move a fucking short hadoken with slight modified hadoken animation

 

I understand was already kinda like that in SFV as reversal but still shit idea... lore wise they got the timeskip to justify redesign that thing differently to be fresh and new

 

Give me back this shit, was pure hype😆

 

 

 

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'm pretty sure even with the nerfs that Luke is still top 1. I think he dropped from S tier to S  tier. 

 

I just wonder what are the chances of characters hit during the Ed update getting more balance changes once the big patch drops. Because I don't mind if characters are good (I'm not an NRS dev) but I don't think my eyes can glaze over any more seeing Luke being the unequivocal best character  in two games back to back

 

 

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.
