Big difference between "best in V" and "best in all FGs" don't ya think? 

Maybe that was a hot take but to me in games like SF, Tekken, Mortal Kombat she's up there near the top.   Maybe not if we're comparing this to ArcSys games.... but those games kind of feel like there own thing when it comes to graphics.

My guy, is you serious with this? Menat?

You don't think her animations were good?  They were the best in SFV easily.

Are Aki AND Rashid now lowkey the best animated characters in all of 6? This kinda makes me think that maybe the DLC charas are given a bigger budget or perhaps don't focus on mocap as much as the rest of the roster 

 

A.K.I has the best animations I've probably ever seen in a fighting game. Menat had the title until now.

Hello my dudes, how are you enjoying SF6 so far. Why is blocking bad, why is Ken, why does Honda have better corner carry than Fei Long!!!

 

This game 🫠😘

Despite the existence of JP and Ken, I think SF6 is great.  First season of SFV had its issues and even SF4 a personal favourite of mine - the vanilla version was fun but kind of broken.  SF6 is just a really solid game right out of the gate.  

I'm actually looking forward to a balance patch though.  The new characters outside of JP are all underpowered.

Why go through the effort of this and then not show all the characters?

I gotta say after watching World Warrior Japan top 8 I don't like how people stopped talking about Dee jay. Ken and JP are public enemy #1 and 2, sure, but Dee jay is just creeping around the corner, biding his time and that concerns me.

 

Rashid too. All the Rashid mains stopped posting tech on twitter about a week into his launch.  Now I know why, they were cooking cuz we got guys like Gachikun putting round start tornados on screen and putting people into Killer Instinct combos until they die.

SFL Japan has Dee Jay all over the place.  He's tied with JP and Luke for most played.  He's definitely hiding in the shadows of JP and Ken - think there's a chance he could avoid the nerf bat and emerge as top 1.  

Can someone explain this A.K.I. 'fix' thing going on?  Why am I reading this everywhere.  

I was a bit worried she'd play similar to FANG but outside of the poison mechanic, she looks a lot different.  Just hoping she isn't charge 😂

That slither across the ground looks amazing. She might be a counter to JP let's go!

September 27th less than a month nice.

Pretty cool that Snake won a CPT event with Gief and against JP too, that's got to be like a 7-3 matchup at least.  Also had a Ryu player win a World Warrior event in Germany.  Low tier representing this week.

I'm not that far behind you and funny enough, I wanna switch to Jamie when I get Cammy to Master.

Was kind of funny because I got one win away and got matched up with @Doctrine_Darkand his Cammy put a stop to me getting any farther 😂

That was a lot of sweaty ranked but we made it.  Time to do what any Jamie main would and celebrate with a drink.  

During Naruo's stream I asked what his thoughts were on Jamie's matchups.  And the Japanese chat responded with "he often talks about the rigors of fighting modern players.  And he likes big tits."

What's funny about Ken is how much he basically invalidates Ryu as a character. Because the guy has basically all around better normals that cancel into more useful things.

 

Ken is kind of like Luke in that they're good for bad reasons. And TBH its kinda funny.

And if you removed Ken from the game than a lot of people would be complaining about Luke since he's also just a way better version of Ryu.  Once they add Akuma there will be three shotos straight up making Ryu obsolete.  

It's funny though because I don't think Ryu is bad at all.   He's way better than his SFV version in my opinion, he just lacks some of the top tier cheap stuff.  As a Jamie main, the Ryu matchup is hard.  

That chart kind of confirms how dumb Ken is in this game lol

I could hit confirm Karin's cr.mk in SFV and that was 17 frame cancel window. 

Why is anything below 20 considered too hard?

Modern will NEVER replace classic, yall should know this by now lol. 

Probably not but it's definitely something that's going to be around and be controversial.  We're at the beginning of SF6 and someone already placed top 8 with Modern controls at EVO.  That's a far cry from what people were saying a few months ago that pro's won't ever be touching modern controls lol.

Yeah being able to do motions on Modern to skirt the damage penalty was always dumb. If SF eventually switches to Modern, I'll shift to other games. I don't care that modern is in the game, it's cool that other people get to play but it aint it for me. There are more games than I have time to play, so I'll just spend time elsewhere.

I mean Fatal Fury is looking pretty good.  It's my backup plan if Modern takes over SF 😂

do think they should get rid of the hybrid input system though. If you pick Modern, you should have to live with the damage reduction and not be able to input a classic SPD motion and get full damage instead.

Yeah, Haitani was definitely taking advantage of this by doing motions for full damage combos and then using the simplified inputs for reactions.  If you pick Modern you shouldn't get the best of both worlds.

On top of also randomly being able to level 3 you from full screen

This coming from a Cammy player 😂

Jamie is fine. People got stop memeing that the character is bad or has a hard time getting drinks.

 

 

It really depends on the matchup how easy it is for him to get drinks.  Zangief incredibly easy to get to level 4.  JP incredibly hard to get to level 4.

I would eat this world alive if Karin made it into 6. Stop being cowards Capcom!!!!!!!!!!

Wholeheartedly agree!

Not sure if you guys saw the Nemo video but it basically explains how to punish people who constantly fish for perfect parry.  People tapping parry in the corner open themselves up to DI because there's 29 frames of guard state after using parry where the player cannot DI.  If the cornered player senses DI coming they can Drive Rush from parry into DI but the other player can counter this by using long ranged crouching normals.

"I won't play the game that has the smallest degree of things I like the least about fighting games."

Who is this clown?

A Tekken player.  A game with probably the most amount of combos.

The only character I don’t understand needing buffs is Jamie. I see people everywhere saying he’s weak but I get shit on by Jamie. I feel like I have to block for days and this nigga got a command grab that goes into more shit. His dive kick is ass though.

He loses to characters with fireballs because he has no decent way through them besides ex breakdance and that's a guess not a reaction.  Unfortunately most of the top tier are projectile characters that can either zone him pretty well or walk behind slow fireballs.   I think he even loses to Ryu.  

His best matchups are against non projectile characters.  I think he fights Cammy and Marisa well and also maybe Dhalsim.
