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.  

Speaking of Marisa BigBird thinks she has 0 losing matchups.

His Ken matchup chart has losing matchups

Modern is absolutely the future and I’m basically at 75/25 on modern being the standard and no classic controls. 

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

Not gonna lie, this is how I feel about modern controls. With some characters, it just feels like people get to do weird cheater style stuff in a game not meant for it.  Modern controls as a means for my daughter to have fun? Fine and that's great. Dudes taking that to ranked or tournament is beyond silly.

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.

Honda Headbutt doesn't bother me. I have shit reactions but I parry it almost every time. Hell, I had one match where I kept Perfect Parrying it and the Honda player seemed completely lost. The Honda players I have the most problems with rarely headbutt.

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.

Ah, the Rashid patch dropped?! Nice.

 

EDIT apparently if you buffer rush in a light, the rush still comes out after the light even on whiff. 

 

That's a relief. No stupid OS.

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....

Bro how much photoshop did she use on herself she looks like fucking AI

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.

Man hopped on after not playing for a couple days gained quite a bit then started losing but even without that I have a lack of motivation with this game.  
 

Some shit with this game just puts a bad taste in in my mouth. I’m not gonna bash it and definitely not gonna claim sfv was better but idk i just ain’t feeling it that much, there’s not a character I’m interested in that much aesthetics or gameplay wise.  
 

maybe gonna look into other characters I made it to Diamond  2 with blanka but maybe he just doesn’t work for me

 

 how’s everybody else doing so far?

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.

I thought Honda’s not rematching if you have an answer to headbutt was just a meme but so far it’s true lol all 1 and done’s lmao

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.

I know I'm a bit late but I watched that Problem X vs. iDom match from the Redbull thing the other day. I know people say Lily is bad and whatnot and I can see why she would be on paper, but I think that 5-0 (!) was a very good demonstration as to why on paper and in practice is sometimes a big difference. The fact that she can consistently put you into a 50:50 from full screen away without using meter is extremely powerful. 

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.

Platinum really is the new Silver LOL

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?

I can back this. Character is legit dumb. I made it to Diamond in 10 matches only knowing SF5 ken. Then I hit training room. Character has literally everything possible. Frame traps, Combos, side switch, Damage, throw loops, you don't even need the style stuff as it's barely optimal. 

 

Makes lily feel like I've been playing with one hand. 

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.

Anyone having matchmaking issues today? It's taking a while to find matches and when I do they are in EU or Caribbean.

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