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

Juri up there for annoying fast characters in this game. Dee Jay and Kimberly there too 😆

Hooligan is so mid in this I end up mashing jab whenever I see it most of the time lol

I have a friend who is trying to learn sf6. He has really limited experience in playing fighting games in a competitive setting and I just spent like a solid 10 minutes explaining why you shouldn't hard commit to run dp to deal with fireballs... and now I see this clip smh

Yeah to an extent. It depends on the situation. If I meaty someone and they decide to drive impact on wakeup, it gives me some additional time to react. The first step to dealing with drive impact is telling yourself that it's always there lolol

The only time I really have an issue trying to drive impact is when it's done raw in neutral and I'm not anticipating it or when they drive impact my jump-in. I'll need to start mashing it when I land to make sure the hitstop doesn't eat the HP+HK input.

I haven't had much time lately to play since I was on vacation and now back to work. Played a match on ranked. I'm in Platinum 4 and it feels like I'm fighting silver players lol

I went to a tournament in Toronto and entered way too many games but it was fun to finally see actual good players do things in sf6. I went 1-2 in sf6 lol

Even something simple as using parry against headbutt and butt slam is so effective. You get one decent combo worth of damage and play not to lose (aka lame) and they have no idea what to do most of the time.

Who are you playing?

Been playing ranked and it really feels like Platinum is the new silver or something (I stopped play sfv ranked at the end of season 1.) Good news for everyone looking to get to higher ranks though, you can grind it out and get there with enough time!

SF players: "haha u suck" Anime players: No disrespect to Kensou though 🙂 I don't think Woshige being the battle director for SFV is a very big flex lol

The Joker baby! https://news.italy24.press/trends/625855.html "In an interview with ESPN he declared: “I drank more than 3 liters of Coca Cola a day”. One of his nicknames was, in fact, Fat-Cola. When he showed up in Denver he was 22% body fat. At the end of a dinner at an executive’s home that first night, he ate a one-pound tub of ice cream by himself, to the shock of those present."

lol

I haven't really played too much ranked but I'm starting to try and climb out of platinum now that I'm comfortable with the game and learned a few things. It takes soooooo long to get the points but at least the matches come quickly. Does the points multiplier thing happen in platinum when you go on win streaks?

This is me irl tbh

Delay Throw/Parry OS This was in some other games but I made a video showing how to do it in Street Fighter 6. Input: block (wait) throw~parry Ideally you want to enter this OS during blockstun. True strings will be blocked. Non-delayed throws will be teched. Untrue strings (ones with gaps), will be parried. The main reason this all works is because the throw tech is input during blockstun which will allow it to only be used defensively and not be counter hit in these situations. If you are delaying it properly, you will block first, tech second, parry third. The parry comes out during gaps in pressure where the throw can no longer come out. This very obviously will lose to delayed attacks that target the OS inputs (shimmying).

I can't stop making stupid videos.

I wish we could have played PC. Unfortunately, PC often has controller issues and requires more space on average for our venue. Not the most economic solution either.

It takes forever to set up too. We had to set up a PS4 at locals for SF6 and it required downloading the game and then the offline versus portion separate, including an account creation. This was all while using the venues public wifi. It sucked lol.

It's been a week and Chun-Li definitely plays like Chun-Li in most of the other games. Can't complain.

JP ex parry is quite the tricky move to deal with. It seems that if you have an EX fireball, it becomes a bit easier to deal with. Crazy that it beats normals, throws, and command grabs. If you delay the EX hazanshu, I think the hitbox on the first bomb blast misses her or something? Works both in corner and midscreen.

Snake Eyez on team sfv bruh...
