Lmao, best tweet. Hands down
 
 

Of course Sol is a pad player.

That Nickelodean thing is probably the closest we'll ever get to having a Last Airbender/Korra fighting game.
If one of them is in of course but I think they put them in their cart racer so it's safe to assume at least one of them is.
 
Which of course means I'm going to buy that thing no matter what. Throwing all four elements in Spongebob's face is my new most wanted experience for 2021.

I can't believe I'm about to say this...
But robo ky is my favorite character for.... lore reasons... 
 

Put "Lily" on loop for maximum chill. That came up as a random spin when I was playing Martian and it was the most chill I've ever been fighting Nago (relatively speaking).

QCF MAJOR DISCOVERY
 
If you move your stick from down to down-forward to forward as Ryu in Street Fighter 2 and then rapidly press any punch button some kind of fireball projectile will come out, and it goes full screen!!!
 
This totally changes the meta and gives Ryu way better range!

Took Ram for a spin last night and she's pretty nuts. Her corner pressure is insane. 
 
Played a set with a milia in the park that was obviously doing the same thing I was, just trying someone else out. 
 
Whooped her pretty good, so the dude dips out and changes to his main, Sol. 
 
Cooks me like Sunday dinner, but I'm starting to close the gap after 5 games, so I decide to switch to May for some more competitive games and homie refuses to rematch me. 
This renob ducked me in broad daylight. What a bum 🤣

Chipp is absolutely insane in Celestial. I fought a lvl1000 JP Chipp that utterly destroyed me 9 matches in a row. I seriously don't know what Nago can do if the Chipp player is patient and not twitchy. Chipp can punish any H whiff at almost any range but just running forward, and his fS is way faster than any of Nago's buttons with similar range.
 
And the 2S>2H whiff cancel is ridiculous.
 
Nago can't do shit about Beta blade if he ever jumps as well, Chipp literally gets to do it for free because Nago has no air actions.
 
Feeling pretty lost in the match up.

I've seen a Giovanna and a Nago (!) using 6P to low profile Ram's fS and HS. The upper body invincibility that move grants is no joke.

Online Sol does his command grab super at full screen.  I already have a 5-hit fireball on the way. 
 
Nope, I lose. 
 
Online Sol does his command grab super at half screen. I've already inputted my invincible super. 
 
Nope I lose. 
 
PRC in his face on my offense for the throw. 
 
Nope I lose.  He can just walk out. 
 
Online Sol gets out-neutraled in ranked, one combo away from him losing the set. 
 
Nope, game soft-locks in the middle of the fight. Both characters just stand idle, the controller doesn't do anything.
 
I'm done for today. 

I was watching a Sol vs Millia match recently and it struck me that the difference in tiers in this game is probably related to ease of damage.  Millia has great mixups but has to work so much harder for damage that Sol gets from basic shit.  

I was once lectured on Discord about how Strive was going to be a total failure.  The person claimed that he was an Xrd player and went into all sorts of reasons why Strive was bad and a huge step backward from Xrd.
 
I found out shortly after that this person didn't even know how to air tech.  They were writing essays about game mechanics but didn't even know how to do one of the most basic things in the game they claimed to play.
 
You can't trust people online. 🙃

Fighting game player stay wack. 
 
I will never understand when people campaign the hate they have for a game or series. We get it, you don't like it. Then shut the fuck up and don't play it. This genre is niche enough already, we don't need you're dumbass trying to firebomb every game that isn't the one game from 2002 that you say is the greatest game of all time, but your ass never plays  

So, I made the mistake of looking at Eventhubs comments in an article called "Is Strive the Street Fighter V of Guilty Gear?".
 
"100%. Roman Cancel is just FADC or V-Trigger activation." - Self-describing
 
"Game is not creative. All I see is the same combos and mixups" - Literally a DBFZ player, who probably can't eve play Strive because there are DP motions in the game
 
And a whole crew of guys questioning whether this is a real/good Guilty Gear game or not even though I question how many of them actually played older Guilty Gears.
 
I can't wait for offline tournaments to return in full form because the only good thing that site was for is giving you timezones and links for tournament streams, until then it's just r/Kappa but unironic and without the occasional self-deprecation.

No worries. I didn’t have much time anyway. Fought a good Chipp anyway.
 
also, and unrelated. I played 3S for all of 5 minutes before getting bored and booting up strive


 
* well, when I have the time, which i don’t have a lot of this month

Wish I could. Thursdays are an outstanding IRL friend meet up day (now virtual due to distance and The 'Vid). If you guys do get together, rock on. 🤘

VIVA LA MEXICO
 
 With him being a no show for Team Agent, this may be a confirm for both Angel and Ti- King of Dinosaurs.

Yeah it may just be Rams options but my experience is similar to Phantom_Miria's.
 
6P works a lot of the time. What I've found is that I actually hit it way too early. I sort of AA with SFV normals timing but you kind of need to use 6P like a DP otherwise it'll whiff before they even get to you.
 
For anything funky A2A P is usually a good answer. Ram's j.P is real good so maybe I'm spoiled. But there are definitely angles or approaches you need to meet them at if you don't have a DP or something like that.
 
I need to use 2H more for far jumps now that I think about it. Even though Strive is a lot less aerial than previous games I do find that half of the AA battle in this game is just identifying the angle and knowing how best to respond. Something I still need to work on.

It's coming, and Pertho will be the first to like it!
 

 
 

If its anything like Injustice the "banner" characters will be some level of gross - Batman and Superman were always good and Supes was real dumb out of the gate. 
 
Some dude with guns will show up and be busted AF for about 2 weeks before NRS nerfs them into obscurity. Get your troll zoning in while you can! Considering it is NRS and they love The Edge someone like Punisher might actually fill that role. I'd almost be tempted to pick the game up in that case just to enjoy that while it lasts.
 
Someone will be that game's Aquaman. I.e. "why is this jobber so good?" Its a little weird to pick because Marvel's 2nd tier bench is pretty wide. Wonder Man maybe?
 
I think part of it is that when you're fighting randoms you are getting that unknown factor, which is valuable, but you also don't know what kind of opponent you are going to get. 
 
Its not even about skill though that is part of it. Especially in the shorter sets you don't always get people who adapt or really change up what they are doing which can lead to situations where you kind of have them figured out and they just keep on doing the same stuff over and over. Just harder.  While you can definitely still use those as opportunities to practice it doesn't push you as much as when you have an opponent who is shifting their game up.

Tonight's scoop. 

KOF trailer this week.
 
 
And if you guys didn’t see it in the KOF thread, here’s what platforms KOF 15 will be on. 
 
 

Good news, everyone!
 
You may remember that some time ago it was revealed that the native input lag on PS4 was way higher than that on PC, with PC having less than one frame of input lag and PS4 having around 4 frames. Some people were concerned that the PS4 version would have been the worst version of the game because of it, and were looking forward the results on PS4Pro and PS5, and now that they're out we can bring forth the good news!
 
As it turns out previous fears were dashed, the PS4 version of the game is no longer the worst version of the game because the PS5 has even more native input lag!
 
 
5,62 long frames VS 4,80 frames on PS4Pro VS 4,72 frames on regular PS4.
Imagine paying 1200$ to scalpers in order to play Guilty Gear with one more frame of input lag compared to the old console.
 
The regular PS4 has redeemed itself and gained the enviable position of least worse way to play Strive on consoles!
 
Yay her!
 

Started God of War (2018) yesterday. 
 
Holy shit... If this game stays this good, it might end up being one of the best games I've ever played. 
 
It's absolutely gorgeous, the combat has been a lot of fun so far, and the story seems pretty interesting. Granted, I'm only like two hours in, but it's been a hell of a two hours.
