Phone has been spying on me again and I've had plenty of "Excellent Adventures" videos being recommended again. I hope something like that comes back for sf6. Streaming is all fine and well but I think some of this new blood need to know how gdlk it was (still is!) to hang out in a living room playing games together and shooting the shit.

Someone told me that Kimberly nerfs are inbound day 1 but didn't have any sources other than someone got an early copy 😑 Something about the bomb and the teleport getting nerfed tho

My internet has decided to be ridiculously slow today and the 15gb benchmark tool is taking forever to download 😞

ruh roh Just so I understand this correctly, the glitch is caused by doing the teleport and then the opponent blocking F+HK? Cause if that's the case... that's CHEAP! lol

I'm out of the loop, what is the glitch?

He's talking about combos that only work in certain situations Ex: Hitting an opponent in a standing state vs crouching state

I can already picture the reveal trailer for Bison in sf6... the laugh will give it away. I think it will come within the next year and he will probably look cooler than ever.

It would be cool if Necro was in a new SF game but I don't think he would be the same in SF6. I think they had a real opportunity in SFV to add him but didn't despite the model being there in the Halloween stage.

I get the impression that Kimberly is only annoying and seems strong because we don't know how to fight her. Although, I was surprised at her walk speed and neutral game being pretty strong for her archetype.

Yeah I ended up winning the whole bracket

From tonight's locals (we capped out our 3rd strike tournament!) I'm Necro lol https://clips.twitch.tv/CuriousTolerantCrowTooSpicy-mkxoM1zGbtxHmjwZ

I got Kimberly. Annoying character...

Nuggets vs Heat has an interesting storyline going into it. First franchise finals with the guy who arguably got shafted for MVP by a notorious choker. Jimmy Butler coming up and potentially getting a ring finally. I think that's way more interesting than watching LeBron again tbh.

He's going to the NBA finals

All I saw Jamie do this whole beta was drink and PALM

What mixups can he do? Didn't get to play against Jamie very much.

When we get to the point of drive impact becoming consistently called out, maybe that's when we will see drive reversal being used. Just seems too costly and easy to deal with right now. Pretty sure it is punishable if done too late.

I tried to mess with the system mechanics the most as that is what will most likely carry over into the full release, at least how I think it will be. Almost everything I found while I was playing against other people. Didn't spend too much time in training mode. Some characters like Chun-Li have strings that will not only recover in time to not get hit by drive impact, but also react in time to use your own against the opponents. Chun-Li st.lp, st.mp recovers in time against a drive impact and lets you punish theirs with your own. Compared to Luke who has higher recovery on certain normals, I think this could be pretty powerful because it gives you two hits to confirm drive impact is coming rather than one. Parrying I've noticed stays in sort of a "parrystun" state during certain moves such as wake up shoryuken. Basically, you can't do anything until the opponents attack animation has finished. Not sure if this was intentional and I did not test it with perfect parry. I could barely find anything useful for alpha counter. Maybe I need more time with the game.

Sorry I had to leave very early, I had some guests come to my house. Hope we can do this more come sf6 release!

We're in NA 244 if anyone wants to play. Got a good amount of people already 😃

Getting knowledge checked by Kimberly players who DEFINITELY didn't grind the crack beta for 5 months lolol. I'm getting used to the full screen 17 frame low mixed up with 22(?) frame overhead, EX spray paint teleport (anti airing it without whiffing a button takes patience), and the little hop thing she does after f+HK. I've seen some dirty sequences on Twitter like this one.

https://clips.twitch.tv/BumblingWimpyGarbageCharlietheUnicorn-QDcIINov_wXT60hM Idiot mashes out a custom combo in alpha 2 lolol

Chun Li st.hp is really solid for taking away the opponents meter, that's the main reason I use it so far. I haven't really played the other characters yet but it seems to be the only reason to use those normals otherwise.

Link to the discord?

I've accidentally played modern controls Luke 3 times already by mashing request fight lol
