Tried to punish heavy Blanka Ball with Manon's Level 1. She stops dead in her tracks literally 1 pixel in front of him, it felt like Capcom was just trolling me.

 

Went to training mode and unless I'm missing something the only way to punish that move with her is perfect parry into QFB LK which does almost no damage. I think Ono's ghost is still lingering in Capcom HQ.

According to jmcroft's video the only way to punish heavy Blanka Ball - outside of perfect parry, is Guile's level 1 super.  Most characters can do nothing about it on block.  The other options are interrupting with an invincible move or jump back cross up.

Lily is so basic she almost feels like a SamSho character, minus the damage.

100% this character belongs in SamSho: slow walk speed, big buttons with a weapon, limited combo options.  She's also in the air more than on the ground most of the time.

Hey so is anybody actually in the Kim army? I've looked at like 50 different players so far and only Damascus and Diaphone are trying her, everybody else didn't even touch the character 

Shine uses Kimberly. He just got 2nd at Dreamhack with her.

Why did they buy the Ultimate Pass and then complain about it lmao. It clearly stated what you were getting....

Completed all of Jamie's and Lily's trials. They feel harder than V but easier than 4 - which is kind of what I was expecting. Think I'll do Cammy and Manon's as well just to see if I really take to one of them. 

Honestly can't see myself playing anyone else other than Jamie though - at least until A.K.I arrives. Even spent all my drive tickets on colours 3-9. There's no going back after that lol.

He was that guy who left the forums because of some drama involving Vesrius or however you say his name. 

Oh that Blanka player that thought SFV sucked and Xrd was the best game ever?  I remember him being kind of a dick to a lot of people.  

@VhoziteBased on your character history I would have thought you'd be playing Juri.  She's most like Nash in my opinion in that she's more of a hit and run character that controls space well and can also zone a bit.

Also, JP is fucking absurd. I really like how each of his fireballs clearly has a purpose. He can't set up a void and then throw the command grab fireball, that's important to remember in that matchup.

I felt the level of challenge was just right anyway, and I actually got my ass handled to me by a couple Silver players, especially a JP one who I had no idea whatsoever how to handle his zoning.

Dude got the Zappa thing where he can do overhead, low, mid and command grab from full screen, what the fuck is this Guilty Gear shit? He's going to be an absolute noob killer and I'm glad he's on the harder level of skill because otherwise he would have already committed a few war crimes on unsuspecting casuals.

JP out here getting everyone.  Just happened to me, got bodied in a set by a JP player.  Jamie is never allowed to take a drink unless it's baked into a combo ender.  This character is downright degenerate.

I thought I was the only one who absolutely hated that “motion”. It’s rare for me to say something like this but that shit should stay in Mortal Kombat. Hated it there and I hate it here. 

The double down motion is awful for some reason.  It's the motion for Jamie's drink and I mess it up way more often than I should.  I'd rather do a double shoryuken. 

If you ever see me full screen punching the air for no reason, that's what's happening 😅

I’m in Sacramento and I asked my local GameStop if they would have a early or midnight release. Their answer: 

 

NO. 

Geez did they yell at you? lol.

It's not the same as a season pass. A season pass is what you buy to get access to dlc later on.

 

A battle pass is something where you pay for content that you have to unlock as you go within a certain timeframe. Fortnite does this. (A free game.)

 

I have nothing really against battle passes but I think it's kinda dumb to have paid content you need to unlock in a game that costs full retail.

Hmm.. is long as it's not characters I don't really have a problem with this.  If there's a costume I really like I'll buy it anyway.  

I'm more concerned with this Denuvo thing affecting the PC version.  I hope it's a non-issue but I've never played a game with Denuvo...

Battle pass for a game you buy is cringe unless there is a free version of the game.

What is this battle pass?  It's not the same as the season pass we get with deluxe/ultimate edition?

Ingrid - final answer.

I never played that game with Ingrid so I'm not going to even try and understand why people either love her or hate her.  

I will say though that the Ingrid Karin costume in SFV is top tier.

Just to be safe I ran the demo on my PS4 and my PC since the benchmark thing wasn't working

I couldn't get it to work either until I realized the shortcut from the desktop was faulty. You have to run it directly from the app.

Highlandfireball?! How's SF6 been treating you?

Ready to rock.

What does this do? I'm still new to the whole PC gaming thing, do I need this to play the game?

It's just a benchmark tool which tests if your PC can run SF6 smoothly.  You download it and run the program and it'll give you a rating out of /100.

 Unless I completely missed it they haven't specified how costumes are unlocked and how they are tied into DLC, have they? My guess is this means you have to buy pretty much all of them and the currencies you earn through challenges (and presumably in WT) are only for Avatar accessories. Would love to be proven wrong though.

According to this article https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2023/may/24/sf6-fighter-coins-dlc-chipotle/ there's Fighter Coins in game that can be exchanged for costumes and characters.  I have no idea how they're earned besides this chipotle promotion though.

its linked to the same button, not separate instances, and its so I don't hurt my hands like on a normal hitbox layout. I use rightside jump 95% of the time anyways, I just like having the option.

Its also cheating explicitly allowed at the CPT despite the rules, because I have already seen more than 1 ergobox at a CPT event.

You're in Ontario right? How did you go about finding a hitbox that isn't insanely priced?

I'm lukewarm on the SF6 roster.  On the one hand the new characters seem awesome, which is great and kind of its savings grace. However.....having 0 Alpha and 3rd Strike characters for not only the launch roster but for the entire first season of DLC stinks.  Especially when we're only getting 4 characters for an entire year.  I don't want to have to wait 3-4 years down the road just to play my favourite characters.

I got Kimberly. Annoying character...

That Manon costume is 10/10.  Hope it looks that great in game.
