    @GetTheTables I'm always down for games on the rare occasion I'm home. It has been a minute.
     
    Yeah and I feel like I'm missing alot of mu knowledge like you said.  Hell I just fought my first decent axl the other night, it was a nightmare but that's too be expected given his archetype. 
     
     
    @Pair of Rooks you're probably right that playing pot doesn't help in things feeling lopsided lol.

    I think its just that the player base is all over the map. Partially because the game is still new-ish, and partially because players are just that way.
     
    For instance in SFV even playing across the same ranked level of players you're going to run into people all over the board in terms of skill/approach. We've all started matches against people in various games and thought "Oh, *that* is how you got here. Gotcha." Throw match up variance into the mix and yeah it can definitely feel a little all over the place. But I think that is normal. And possibly exacerbated in Strive where people can be dodging certain match ups and/or not have much experience with them depending on who they've played to get to where they are. Like I'm on 10 but my match up experience is still relatively shallow, with Pot being an amusing example considering your character choice and experience (you've almost certainly fought more Rams than I have Pots).
     
    I think some of that gap smooths out over time, personal and in terms of the community of players. We're still kind of in the wild west, though honestly if playing SFV for years taught me anything its that you'll always be dealing with cowboys so keep your 6 shooter loaded. 
     
    GG usually has some match ups that feel awful, depending on your char. This version of Strive has some offensive god-beasts walking around so yeah playing the tanky grappler is going to lead to some matches where you just die in the corner (or feels like it anyways). Hell even not playing a tanky grappler it feels like that; my strat with in most cases is just "murder them/wall them out and not have to deal with their shenanigans". If a Sol/May/Chipp gets loose it can all go south real quick. 
     
    Once I get some time to get back into this we should try to find a time for matches. We haven't played since ye olde SFV days with its Dreamcast era netcode.

    I agree with his feelings on Strive but the comparison to MK11 is super revisionist history lol. The biggest complaint about that game is how garbage the variation system is in practice compared to the idea, even after two years of incremental improvement. In fact MK11 specifically prevents you from mixing certain move combos and outright bans others in PvP.
     
    Most characters in that game have one decent loadout and you’re basically throwing if you pick anything else. I say this as a big fan of the game.
     
    Edit: Also ffs every game Strive is being compared to has seen years worth of improvement while Strive itself hasn’t even seen a single balance patch. Give it some time.

    I honestly find it really worrisome that it takes one Twitter take to throw the community into chaos. 
    SonicFox said he's a bit dissatisfied with Strive right now and suddenly FGC Twitter becomes the purge, like one opinion suddenly invalidates others. Or validates their own thoughts.
     
    "I SAID STRIVE WAS TRASH FROM THE START!"
     
    "NAH SONIC IS A SCRUB JUSTIN SAID ITS GOOD"
     
    Like, what am I listening to lol.

    RE the Strive conversation, it's hilarious that now that Strive is about a month old, the honeymoon period is over and people are actually starting to look at it behind the hype and people are starting to dislike/drop it. FGC is like clockwork.

    PlayStation blog has some unlisted videos showing some different matches of Oro v Oro and Akira v Akira.
     
     
     
    The CapcomChannel also posted the Oro vs Akira match without any commentary.

    Imho, it's just you. Pot is a scrubkiller and a polarized "tank" archetype so of course you're gonna get matches that are free one moment and rekt the next.  10th floor is also where you can't advance without completing a gauntlet, so there's a backlog of sorts of people who "should" have advanced by now but haven't.
     
    I've found floors 7, 8 and 9 to be pretty consistent, excepting perhaps playing at odd times of the day, i.e. early morning.
     
    I'm a fan of the floor system and how fast rank changes happen, though I can't seem to articulate why.  If I wasn't in a lobby visualizing other players at my skill level fighting each other, how's it different from any other ranked system?

    I say this with all due to respect to SonicFox as a player and a human (fox?), and with all due respect to how anyone feels about Strive (positively or negatively):
     
    I have never given a scant fuck about what SonicFox thinks about most anything and I certainly am not going to start now.
     
    I agree wholeheartedly with Vhozite's point about tribalism, though it isn't just the FGC. I've seen it in every one of my hobbies over the years. The internet just makes it seem worse/gives it a platform.
     
    Play what you love, love what you play. Life's too short for anything else. 
     
    To that end I hope SFV players get a fucking info bailout.

    With this being the final SFV character
    That means T.Hawk dodged all of SFV
     
    and thus is guaranteed as starting roster character in SF6

    Luke looks like he brings a spotlight when he goes deer hunting, and drives a pickup truck with a pissing Calvin decal and an opague sun shade over his license plate.

    Jesus Luke has got to be one of the corniest FG characters I’ve ever seen. 
     
    Capcom walked into a gym and made the first fuckboy they saw into a character

    This is good, guys, I was just thinking the game didn't have enough blonde people.
