Hmm...I feel like comparing the difficulty of FGs to other games isn't a helpful conversation. Its like I'm trying to justify whether something is hard based on whether or not something else is also hard.

 

Both things can be hard to do.

Fighting games are hard but it can be difficult to define the 'hardness" because so much of what makes then genre hard is granular. There's a reason why pro FPS players don't run in these games. People like fighting games. They like the idea of being Daigo. But most people recognize that the walk is long and hard. Being the best dude in your state means jack shit in this genre. Fuck being the best in your country doesn't mean much. For ultra casuals there's really no easy way to get people in that hasn't already been tried. I usually dislike the doomer mentality people parrot about getting into this genre but if you don't already have the hunger it's never gonna work. The only reason I put up with getting my ass kicked in SFV back during the betas and launch year is because I grew up playing Souls Calibur 2 and CVS2. I grew up watching Latino kids playing Marvel Super Heroes on PS1. The shit fascinated me. I had to see more of it and play more of it. And I mostly played them by myself. And I'm fucking dog shit at these games so imagine someone with less fucks to give that doesn't want to put in the effort. 

The absolute state of Capcom Cup.

So it looks like we are getting a trailer of some type for the outfits #3 pack.

I finally ran into a few AKI's in rank but only after getting into Plat. She was nowhere in gold. Getting outplayed with your character is some shit man. My AKI is so dry. I always feel like if a character doesn't have a meme button to use in the mid range I feel like I'm at a loss for what to do. I kinda wish AKI's stand feirce wasn't a target combo because I like it's range but the first hit cancels into nothing. Her level 1 is also really bad as an anti air. I already knew her defense was bad but when you play her you really feel that shit. She does have the most fun conversions I've ever seen in this game though. Every time I land something with her from improvisation it makes me feel big brain. I had a few moments where I'd be juggling people but then get scared and wonder if  I can close then round. Then I'd just drive rush while they're in mid air and mash out level three and it connects. Got me looking like the Antonia Banderas meme. Her extended hut boxes on her nail whips is monkeys paw shit. I get it, they didn't want a poison Dhalsim. But that's what I needed, that's what we all needed. Outside of her weak defense though she's my girl. SF6 is fun again. Now I just need to actually learn how to apply the sauce.

Never in my life have I gotten more one and dones than playing AKI HAHAHAHAAAA

These niggas are fucking ass heated and I don’t even know how to play this character hahahaaa!!!

So yeah I'm having crazy fun with AKI. I boot up her intermediate trials with matches on just so I can run through the basics to warm up. It's funny as fuck being in Gold with my fundies and seeing people soy rage over this character. Ran into a Honda that kept headbutting into her poison ball. Dude was getting heated and started spamming butt slam. Still won to hahaha! I'm watching Hikarus replays to get a better idea for how to play neutral. Her combos routes are so fucking awesome but you have to be on point with capitalizing off every potential poison burst. Her corner loops are amazing. Also her stand heavy kick is probably one of my favorite buttons in the game. Just feels good to hit. Gonna grind this chick out for the foreseeable future.

My AKI is trash. Landed in gold for my placements. Don’t know any combos but gonna grind it out. Goodbye for now Lily.

@Darc_RequiemI figured I'd ask you this because I figure maybe you'd have an idea. Why was Poison and Roxy's implementation in FF 1989 so controversial that localizations had them being potentially trans (new-half) but only 2 years later Chun-Li didn't get this same treatment? Just a random thought that came up.

TLDR;

 

Twinblades: "I can fix her guys!" 😉

When make it to Plat in 5 years I'm coming for you!!!!!!!!!

Finally got around to playing the AKI update since I've been off the game for a while now. I decided to play her trials, tutorial and arcade mode. She's fantastic. She's also really fucking hard to use. Everything about her is built on being able to either precog your game plan or be constantly in a position where you can capitalize off of the most situational stray hit. I was worried that her combo trials would filter me but after an hour split between 2 days I got em. I'm gonna go full in and drop Lily for her. She's gonna help me expand my understanding of SF6 and fighting games in general. I've never played a character in any fighting game that demands this much from me. I don't care if she sucks. Her routes are fun and her skill ceiling seems limitless. Gonna take her into rank later this week and start all the way from the bottom. Lily will be my side unga character when I wanna be a retard but AKI is gonna be the main from here on out. Maybe for the entirety of the game baring Kolin doesn't come back (please god please).

Do we have official confirmation she isn't charge?

AKI not being charge I think puts the nail in the coffin on charge characters. It's over 

If you play Juri or Cammy your personality is literally being a coomer

SFV wasn't even close to being as player expressive as 6 is but I still like neutral in 5 more than 6. Cr.medium into DR is aids. DJ/Juri/Marisa/Ken random DR is aids. DR eating your jump inputs is aids. Defense is aids. V-Shift was fucking based and V-Reversal actually fucking worked. SF6 is obviously the better product this is objectively fact but my issues with 6 were never that it lacked sauce. I just think the game has cool ideas but how they were implemented feels like darts were thrown at the wall. Why doesn't everyone have the same DR speed? Don't give me some BS reason about muh balance. Why does Lily have no cancelable fucking medium? Why does she not get a combo into light spire off of cr.light combo without meter? Why does Marisa get to two tap you? 

AH SHIIIIIT MUH NIGGA BUT DAH SAUCE DO LOOK AT THIS TWITTER VIDEO OF MARISA JUST SAUCING YOUR LIFE BAR OFF 1 HIT BRO. YO MUH NIGGA MY JP SO CLEEEEAN I DID OBSERVE AND THEN I DID OBSERVE AGAIN BRAH LOOK AT DAT SHIIIIIIT

I'm playing AKI because I'm gonna make everyone seethe. ALSO PLEASE CAPCOM BRING KOLIN BACK FOR SEASON  2 PLEASE

SFV slander should be an IP ban @misterBee

Idc if it’s salt cr.mk xx drive rush is insanely strong.  You cannot convince me that shit is balanced compared to characters who don’t have it. 

Lily's is poopy dog shit! Fuck this game!

MK stan culture is so fucking aids. It's just a bunch of yass queen who listen to sexxy red and bottom gays calling Kitana a bad bitch. Holy fuck nuke MK.

Finding the prefect color and corresponding title to use with it is one of my favorite SF past times. I got the perfect combination with Lily. I love her white/gold alt for her default outfit. Also who wants to play me this weekend? I could use a thrashing. Hawk already gave me the Marisa work but I thought you guys were all sweating the game.

She’s not ugly but Megan Fox looks like every other insta-thot. Hyper mid as far as famous women go.

 

Also I cringed listening to her talk about Nitara is MK1.

 

”She’s a vampire and that resonates….for some reason” 🤣

On god I hate listening to normies talk about fighting games. I was afraid saying this would make me come off as one of “those” players but fuck it’s so fucking cringe. UHHH YEAH DUDE HAHA GET OVER HERE!! UHHH YEAH DUDE REMEMBER THE GREEN GUY FROM SF2 THAT WENT RAAAGH AND DID ELECTRIC MOVE?! HAHAHA XD

Made it to Diamond 3 with Lily. Still don’t know any frame data or combos or optimization and I’ll will keep complaining about Ken but I’m having fun. I don’t care if Lily sucks I’m having fun!

I just lost to a Ryu who’s name was FkBLM and was apart of the club named “no trans allowed.” We really be doing the most huh lol

>Slightly move my analog stick a few mili inches in  neutral to gain my footing 

*LEVEL 3 SUPER LETS GO AAAAAAGH*
>Actively buffer and constantly scroll to stop some incoming DR meaty set up 

*heh imagine using your super here you fucking scrub, heh that’s gonna be a no from me buddy*
 

I fucking hate this game

The phone and desktop versions are the same exact website.  If you shrink your browser window while on  your PC you'll see that it 'transforms' into the mobile version.

 

It definitely worked on mobile, and I didn't even need to clean the URL.  I just tested it on my Samsung S10 Lite using Firefox.

When I post twitter links from my iPhone it does the same thing that happened when Bornwinner posted it. Could be Musk cucking apple who fucking knows.

Ed looked like a clown, moved like all his joints were broken and talked like a brat (suppose technically he was) in V. He was a complete mess from a visual standpoint, nothing cool about that guy IMO, just a throwaway character design from head to toe.

 

But there's potential for him with this new team and QA they're having for 6.

The NeoShadaloo fits were peak you guys have 0 taste.

Everything about his design feels like it’s sponsored by your local school shooter. 

The character in your PFP was turned into a zombie and cucked by Bison in 3 games hold that
