The Slick Tony

Insane that SF6 is already on track to break 2.5m copies in barely 5 months, that is a MASSIVE difference in financial performance compared to V
 
I think by 1st anniversary it'll easily cross 3 million, if not more. Which also means it's a guaranteed spot in Capcom hall of fame 

I’m over here struggling to reach Diamond went on a 8 game win streak in platinum 4, the game stops giving me matches I wait and even check my settings. Next match is against a master rank JP 😂😂.
 
I win the first match and get 163 points which is nice but after that he downloads me and I get blown up.
 Then matchmaking goes back to normal. I think this game really pays attention and is trying to constantly adjust your opponents instead of just climbing the ladder like normal.

Alpha 2 at the Battle Hub!!

So, my early impressions on some of the matchups in this game so far.
 
I feel like Manon is probably winning the Zangief matchup, possibly even rather decisively, at least as far as my experience with the Giefs I've played go. The way I play that matchup is that I can basically zone Zangief out with my normals, Manon got the god anti-air to shut down any jump-in, if he ever whiffs a big button I can punish with stHK and then combo in QCBxMK, sending him way back and undoing whatever progress he made in trying to walk me into the corner, and then on top of that I also get to mix Zangief whenever I land a vacuum target combo or he gets too comfortable with me getting in range of light command grab. The things to check out is that Zangief can still kill you very fast with a few guesses, if he actually manages to walk you to the corner it can get scary, and most importantly one needs to check how much each Zangief likes to throw out Drive Impact, because Manon's heavy buttons are the best to keep Zangief away and potentially mix him with stHPxxHP, but they're also very vulnerable to Drive Impact. In the Cammy matchup I'm pretty satisfied by how EX Wheel Kick manages to handle divekicks. It has enough air invincibility to bust even a low divekick that almost hit, it hits far away enough to punish divekicks that would have whiffed in front of you, and it hits high enough to hit Cammy out of the air even if she doesn't go for divekick by tries to mix it with regular jump-in or late divekick. French long legs saved the day again. I've grown to enjoy the JP matchup a lot, and I also like fighting Guile, probably because I'm a freak who likes to fight zoners. Especially with JP it feels like the more I play against him the more he feels pretty approachable and counterable. Strong, sure, but nothing impossible. In contrast I haven't met many Guiles, and the few I met I usually beat. There are very few Jamie online apparently, so the few that I meet end up steamrolling me because I have no idea when to check his pressure, handle his gimmicks, and Jamie looks like a character who specializes in punishing people who press at the wrong moment and converting off single jabs. I've grown a little more accustomed to him now, but I need way more practice. Ken is a fucking bitch, I'm happy his life is in ruins. 😠 It's very funny when you meet a Honda players who doesn't rematch because you manage to land semi-consistent perfect parry and get free medals off it in a single round, although the more solid ones are harder to deal with. Manon's worst matchup so far seems definitely to be the Manon one. I rate it roughly 7-3 or even 8-2 in Manon's disadvantage. Aside from the fact that the whole thing looks like two flamingos in a mating ritual, it's really infuriating when I'm there trying to play honest footsies and perform my clever mixups with my exquisitely looking French supermodel while that other Sideshow Bob-looking motherfucker is out there just throwing out random long-ass buttons and forcing unfair braindead guesses. Really infuriating. Fuck Manon, it's Manon's worst matchup. Capcom pls, nerf Manon and buff Manon instead. 😔

Posting  some pics of what got done so far
 
I still consider this stuff pretty in "beta" phase waiting the good items, but at least got something to show 😄
 
On some lot of reinterpretation going on lol
Again, consider almost none of these complete, but we have to start somewhere

Forgive the shit quality of cuts/pics, but again this stuff is not definitive, so at the moment we go like that lol
 
Even just getting stuff that already is on WTM but they keept locked would improve a lot
 
 

I love Blanka in SF6!

I just discovered you can only save 10 gear sets. WTF. I have 100 character slots and I'm already out of gear. Slots...., oh and preliminary Urien. I need to adjust his feet they are too small. Unless I'm missing something, you can't do a dimpled chin.
 

That reminds me, anyone seen Jerom lately

I'm not a fan of the breast enlargement on Cammy

Another reason I don’t like Babysitter Akuma: He would never put a child in harm’s way.
 

If they really want to ground Akuma a bit and give him more facets, then they should canonize him as a fruit seller in Nayshall. Show him making a living in between being a troll.

Pad and Hitbox players looking at this dude right now...

There's different system mechanics between game and they're irrelevant because HC don't give a fuck about any of them.
 
No way is JP worse than HC. I get Nemo wants some hot takes with SF6 out but HC us legit the stupidest shit made in the last 10 years. The guy whiffs a button, you go to whiff punish, he can still shoot, he randomly hits you and you lost.
 
Oh and he has Chun Li length normals.
 
HC is so ficking stupid that he single handedly demonstrated to me that ASW has no fucking idea what they are doing and people probably shouldn't play their games until they as a company start making sense.

The dialogue you get from leveling up mastery/bond is fantastic. So many little lore tidbits - like Edmond not being Honda's name, to Gief dragging a submarine 🤣. Oh, my favorite is the fact that Chun-Li and Ryu went with Guile once on one of his trips to Nash's grave. They're actually friends.
 
Also, to add fuel to the CaC speculation from a few pages back, Manon actually goes on a long winded speech how we are a freak of nature. She is absolutely flabbergasted how we can train in different styles for a short amount of time and learn so much while it has taken extreme dedication for her to master Judo. Maybe there is something up with the CaC 🕵️‍♂️?

SF6 World Tour story mode DONE. Man things were going great until I ran into Psycho Bosch and right after he forced me to use up all my healing items and buffs, then came JP to pick up the scraps. 16 continues later, he finally went down.
 
Nakayama was in his Neogeo boss bag when it came to Psycho Bosch. What the heck is with that inescapable Deadly Rave move!?

I find strange how Blanka is a family friend to Sean and Laura and recommends you train with them. I'm curious how that meeting went lol.
