That's a future I don't want to live in lol.

I hadn't lost a set to a modern player until the other night when I came across a modern Juri who was reacting to everything with DP or level 1 super. Felt like I was fighting a level 8 CPU or something.

A.K.I. is the only DLC character I'm interested in this season. Ed is meh. Akuma will be a cool addition, even if I won't be playing him. Want to see what others like Tokido can do with him.

My take: SF3 more fun to watch than play. Probably my favourite older game to watch. SF4 more fun to watch than play. SF4 was the goat for memorable matches. As much as I loved playing it, the game was even better to spectate. SFV more fun to play than watch. SFV tried to be esports but kind of failed. Was more fun to play especially after season 3. SF6 undetermined...I'm enjoying both right now because it's still new.

The Honda matchup is probably my least favourite in SF6. If the player can perfect parry it becomes a joke, but if he can' t - he gets mopped by headbutt and buttslam. The Blanka matchup is tougher but also more interesting for me since there's a lot more going on.

So in GBVS Rising they're making technical and simple inputs with no power differences. No idea why they're doing this when they had the perfect hybrid of simple/technical already baked into the previous game. I think they utilized simple inputs better than any other game including SF6. Oh well, guess I won't be touching this after all.

That's great to hear. I was worried about the game turning into buffered lights all day. Didn't want to go down that road.

Wow, didn't know I shared a birthday with Ryu lol.

The Lone Dragon actually complaining about a Capcom game? So he really was just a SFV shill.

Looks like he doesn't have the double heavy slap cr.HP from SFV. That normal haunts my dreams.

So they basically made it like KOF 14's max mode, hit the button's get the cancel with no dash input required. Not sure how I feel about this, DR cancels are going to be easier but might be unintended consequences....

I was wondering the same. Is that actually a person?

That explains Jamie's level 1 super and breakdance randomly coming out while trying to execute crosscut DP's.

I have a few minor gripes but think the game is great. I don't like to keep comparing it to SFV but I just feel it's so so much better. Depending on how the later seasons develop this might end up being my favourite SF, even better than IV.

There's no reason to one and done in this game with how good the netcode is. SFV I could understand it, but if you're doing this in SF6 you're just a bitch lol.

Not sure what this guy is getting at? SF6 is literally designed around whiff punishing. Normals are big, hurtboxes linger - whiff punishing into DR is huge in this game.

servers are down hnnnghhhhhh.

Yeah, her gameplan is simple but effective. She can fly in constantly get plus frames and then you're stuck in a 50/50. Even if you spend 2 bars to get her off she can just full screen windstock again and it's a wash. She definitely has some terrible matchups where condor spire is probably useless, but if your character doesn't have good ways of dealing with it, it's going to be a pain.

Look at that range though. Platinum 1 is considered Ultra Silver in SFV and Platinum 5 is considered Ultra Plat. The difference between an Ultra Silver and Ultra Plat player in V is absolutely massive, and all these players are 'Platinum' in SF6. Kinda crazy.

Wow, they're really sneaking Rashid in last minute before EVO huh. Oil King to take it?

Yeah, just my 2 cents but I think Ken is the best character in the game. Spits out damage and corner carry plus his neutral is amazing (why are his normals so good lol). No real weaknesses from previous games he just seems to have everything in 6.

Oh boy Rashido. Hope we don't lose every Jamie main to the turbulent wind.

There's scheduled maintenance in a few hours might be because of that. I'm also getting kicked/errors trying to connect.

Bruh Juri moves at the speed of light - it's insane how fast she is. Remember when she was a zoner in SF4 lol

Haitani's tier list. Probably the most qualified of anyone on the current meta since he's ranked every character to Master.
