Holy shit do people mash a lot in this game. No wonder a lot of these fuckers couldn't play strive. You explode for getting CHed there. Here with everything negative

Tell me you've never played Strive Ky without telling me... 😭

Today's the day my wife finally returns home from out of country. I haven't seen her in person for nearly three months.  Kids are excited, and I might get some gaming time on my PC.

But which to play: Strive or SF6.   I still really like Strive and don't have a main in 6.

Juri fireball into Drive Rush might be one of the top 5 scrubbiest moves in this game.

 

Why is it like this? 😂

Uncle Iroh mode ON:

 Why did you let her store that fireball to begin with?

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

 

 

Her forward dash in 4 was amazing too. It could low profile stuff.  In fse it was nuts.

It's her backdash that's always been ass. 

If she's overtuned in 6 ok but those aren't the reasons.  

Like, why's it so much easier for Juri to grab stores but not for Jamie to get drinks. She's -4 without the kara movement and worse with.

Not sure if you guys were familiar with this guy. He was consistent streamer during SF5. Played Sagat.

 

Terrible situation.

How old was this guy?  JFC

How you guys feel about throw loops in this game?

Throws have 5f startup, 30f total on whiff. 

Backdashes are what 23f total.

Backdashing a perfectly timed throw should still leave you +2.  At worst +0 vs perfect meaty. 

They're annoying but not terrible. Could use three more whiff frames tho. 

Holy shit he covered a FG

Oh @EvilCanadianyou should probably cover that asap 

EDIT

Man finds the perfect defense OS tech in a million dollar game, still drowns in pools. 

It sounds like an Onion article.

dumb question but can you safely buffer drive rush into normals when fishing for a hit?

You can with HP and HK for sure, assuming they're special cancelable ofc. 

Idk about lights the buffer in this game is huge.

Is platinum in this game like Bronze in SF5?

nah I got bronze in sfv

fr tho, and actually related, I'm enjoying the hell out of Breath of the Wild. Stayed up til 1am trying to stealth my way to spectacle rock with 4 hearts and a bobkin club for no other reason than it was there.

I need to find a use for this

 

The previous pic was of Juri's butt so I think you already have. 

Deep dive on Asuka spells, in case you haven't messed with them personally.

The background color on each card is a category of use. 

Blue - staffs 

Green - mana regen

Yellow - bookmark

Orange - attack

Red - unique (teleport, random, reuse)

Purple - leveled attack

The problem with his counter is the situation he gets off it not that it beats throws. 

This. It's Smash 4 Bayonetta again. The counter being immune to grab isn't the problem, it's the massive effing punish the counter grants because the aggressor took their turn.

Imagine a fully invincible DP that also grants a nice combo, possibly with oki, and resets to your preferred range.

So we have already had a lengthy discussion about this clip in discord, but I’m curious what to see what the rest of y’all think.

What Reticently said.  Marisa in particular has moves that tank single hits when she's cornered in burnout, and JP won like 5 touches even with full resources.  It's fine.

Grabbing her on the last frame of her install ending glitches her x coordinate

Not talking about but just you specifically, but it’s crazy to me that I see so many complaints about Drive Impact when Drive Rush is easily twice as dumb. 

On the input reader fuckery

I've only had two hours of ranked so far, enough to go from base iron to base bronze. Then it's been sharing training mode with my own daughter who thinks Juri looks like a princess.  🤐 

Like darc I'm looking forward to getting some time with the game later and drive rushing some peeps with my one punish combo.

@TWINBLADEScongratulations! 

Yeah everywhere I look has Lily bottom one. I was watching jiyuna yesterday wondering if Lily has combos longer than two moves. 

Someone's getting carried hard to Plat but it ain't you.

Take over a server. Being out in the public lets people know this place exists.

 

Plus it makes it feel like everybody is going somewhere together. That shit is hype.

This.

Also Blacktwins using negro/nigqa as his pronouns is funny, and it biting Hungrybox of all people is even funnier.

Hbox will be fine tho. If he can survive a flying crab he can survive this. 😂

Think Cammy might be underrated. She can dash up and be +2 after MK spiral arrow. Her st.mk is long enough to fight the people who have cancelable st.mks.

Topanga had her mid tier until mago updated it and put her top 5. 

Imagine a speedwalking love letter to frame data possessing a DP and a lowcrush command grab that lols at Drive Parry The Destroyer Of Mixups might not be a great character.

Even if her damage is poor so she needs an extra touch, I sure hope her tools allow winning that touch in neutral, poor girl. Poor, poor girl.

I'm getting serious SF5 vibes from this.

That has got to be a typo for SF4 and or is massive trolling.  Bleeding to crush counters until V-Trigger cancel is just about the only mechanics it doesn't have.

Even then, there's no links smaller than 5f window nor crouch tech os nor vortex nonsense.

Are you having a shit week irl or what?

Nothing too surprising here. 

JP just seems like a character that simply won't exist at certain ranks depending on whether his player "gets it" or not. He gets his ass beat free by literally everyone until the player gets it, then immediately rises three ranks in an hour.

Top 5 or 6 characters, no surprise. 

Lily's popularity seems strongly tied to region. NA and JP seems to be her only home?  But it also seems like the bloom is coming off the rose as people aren't winning with her. Lots of complaints about move input overlap, feast or famine normals, etc

I'm happy I didn't choose a popular character this time around. Even if he is as dumb and op as reddit says maybe he'll escape the nerf bat on being rare enough not to be a bother.

Its weird so far. Ryu has good normals, but he feels like he is fighting a bunch of mutants. There's about as many ways to get around fireballs as there were in 5 too (on top of system stuff).

 

Gonna need like two days in a row of just going over through things. Feels like you gotta know a lot about characters to fight them properly. Probably why dudes are losing their shit.

I didn't see the part about "but I think he's really a slept-on top tier". 🤨
