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.  

I'm not one to push for balance patches but I think at this point I could write a novel on changes Jamie needs.  

Then there's Ryu over in the other corner with just a slightly better fireball.

Ken continues being the scrubbiest character in this game for basically free. That character does so much with so little effort its ridic.

How's this?1 

Comin' At Ya!

Bringin' the Heat!

I could tell like two weeks in that Ken was going to be a problem.  They made a character with extremely powerful moves and no weaknesses lol.

I got a question for you guys about a mental hurdle I have with SF6 and have always had with fighting games.

 

When I am playing, and I think some BS happens or something, like I feel my move should have came out on wake up but doesn't and I get stuffed, even if it has to do with me pressing the wrong buttons, or if I feel like I blocked something but I didn't, I can't just let it go immediately.  Like it semi puts me on tilt for the rest of the match and makes me play worse because I am dwelling on it.

 

Any of you the same way or were the same way, and figured out a way to get over this  mental hurdle?  I feel like this is one of the mental aspects of the game I just can't get to grips with but know it is something that will help me if I can just forget it quickly and move on.

 

EDIT:

 

Perfect example was last night I won round 1 against my buddy and I was about to win round 2, but I dropped a special move after a normal that would have lead into CA and win, and he supered me and won round 2.  Then the entire round 3 I was salty about it and it definitely hindered my play in round 3.  I want to figure out how to clear that up.

I think even pro's struggle with this honestly.  I remember Brian F talking about it being something he was trying to get over.  

I think they did a good job with the groupings.  The players that have had the most success in SF6 are all split up: Mena, Punk, Big Bird, Angry Bird and Kakeru.  And the groups seem pretty well rounded.

Is anyone else bothered by the lack of drive reversal at EVO? I didn’t watch every match over the weekend stream but i can count on one hand the amount of drive reversals I saw. People don’t use it even when there is 0 risk. 

Torimeshi who plays Sim and got 17th, uses drive reversal a lot.  I noticed JP players do it too, I think it's more important for zoners just to get some breathing room. 

Oh shit reset!

Punk tweet incoming.

So, that's all Japan eliminated?

 

😱

I guess SF6 is scrubby after all.

Welp,

 

We might have to get ready for the Saltiest Tweet from Punk. Everybody get in position for how angry that tweet is about to be.

Mena already knows Punk is salty about Blanka from their match at CEO.  I think we know who his character pick will be...

By Mena Punk GF I meant Losers Final.  

Another classic Tokido match.

Mena Punk Grand Final.  That's what I'm sensing.....

Why does Tokido always have the hypest matches lol

Modern got wrecked.  Punk looks on point tonight. 

Remember the games are too slow, that's why we have a top 6 now.  

Harder to play than Chun Li?  Sounds like A.K.I might be the most technical character in the game so far.

Definitely the best match I've seen so far.  

@Illwill88saw your name in the bracket, you at evo?

Haitani playing on Modern.

 

Street Fighter has fallen.

Can't wait to see the blowup if a Modern player wins EVO.

Anyone just catch that Mena vs OgMike match on the main stream?  Three of the rounds were perfects and the one round the Lily player got he landed a single condor dive.  The set was over in like one minute lol.

Chen is fine, but there are a lot of competent commentators out there.  Having some rotation in who gets called up to the big show each year is probably a lot healthier than treating it as a lifetime appointment.

I'd be fine with Yipes, Sajam or F word.

Gonna be weird not having Chen do the last Sunday on commentary.  Usually it was him paired with Seth Killian or Ultra David. Those three worked well together.

New propaganda just dropped 

 

This was bound to happen. However I want buffs for season 2. See I acknowledge that Lily is actually pretty decent but I don’t want the world to know this. So I’ll be going into to overtime with the Lily is bad counter propaganda. This will work of course. You saw how much I said Kolin struggled. You remember what happened when VT2 came out? Yeah it’s time to work my magic again. 

I think Jamie is pretty decent too and he's often put in the same tier as Lily. I feel like a couple tweaks and he might actually end up top tier.
