Ngl I actually love the Fortnite x SF crossover. The fact they added so many little extras like hot Ryu, Chun li super art emote and had Shinkiro design the promotional art shows they are actually big fans. I think its cool

Yes, I'm conveniently ignoring I lost the other 10 of the set, gotta get rid of your bitch-ass negative energy.

You got 10-1'd to in the pre-Twelve random select era 👀

I'm glad of it because it introduces FG characters to a new generation of gamers. 

 

Nothing pisses me off like hearing FGs called a boomer game. 😠

Beta Backdash Frame Data
https://twitter.com/kedako_faital/status/1363371645344256000?s=20

All backdashes got full invul on frame 1.
Can't tell what the 2nd part means, but the key thing to remember is that with the Dash Macro, you have a legit evasive option at a button press, keep that in mind at all times.

Monkey man working overtime

 

Ok I was previously whatever about this character, but after Roofie formally introducing me to the wicked witch of the warble I'm suddenly kind of interested.  What's the playstyle here? She's got a fireball / air fireball like Ky, but presumably better mix-up.  How's her damage output?

I'm guessing

1. Total frames

2. Iframes (4-6 depends on character)

3. Airborne frames

 

May and Millia have the least iframes on backdash, which makes sense given their rushdown.

So I wasn't really interested in Strive until I played the beta and actually had fun. I'm still really not into the super fast, crazy mix-up based rushdown of anime fighters though, so are there any other zoning based characters in this roster besides Axl?

Thats a clichee stigma attached to anime, mainly coming from SF players.

 

Also try Faust, Ky is pretty good for zoning too.

Or zone people out by picking Pot and having everyone shit their pants as you start moving.

[Volt]

Seconding this. You also get legit options for defense and close-range as well. Ky seems really strong in this game.

[Jurassic]

Ramlethal has some zoning tricks, as does Faust.

 

I'm having fun with Strive and definitely plan to get it.

[Mr.Cipher]

Ram will never be a Zoner, the Swords are nothing you can just yeet willy nilly, since you lose a lot of range (and damage) without them. + it takes time to get them back if you don't stand right next to them when they land.

[Yiceman]

I'll try Ky, Faust seems a little too goofy for me.

 

Also I did not mean to disparage anime fighters. Let's just call them "fast games." I preferred to play zoners in a fast game like MvC3 as well.

Not in the "chuck plasma" sense, but she got some bigass buttons to play with. Kinda similar to Nago in the "putting big hitboxes on the screen". That does slow the pace of the game a bit.

I know this is a joke but this is basically how I played him lol. He zones people by merely existing since nobody actually wants to be near him lmao

This. Sword zoning is a thing since it's pure disjoint.  Swordies have a distinct range in Smash, between cqc and mid-range / burst range.

You should play these games more, the "everything is rushdown unga bunga!" comment pops up all the time, I'm somewhat desenzitited to it by now.

It's just a sign of inexperience and quoting the wrong people.

Tell me more about that, while I look at a bunch of BB and GG Hitboxes.

 

Usually you get hurtbox extensions for throwing swords around, if not even having the swords themself hurtboxes.

There are more examples of entire limbs having no hurtbox, while whole swords having them.

 

And as I thought the swords are generally accompanied by either extended hurtboxes or have enough space behind the disjoint to whiffpunish effectively.

This is true, but you're still controlling space with some big buttons. Just because there's risk involved, it doesn't mean it ain't a thing.

Remember I'm an Es player, throwing the sword around is the only thing I do.

I’m so glad I’m not seeing a lot of May players yet besides myself. Anchor hitboxes are disgusting. She gives you no time to breathe if played right. Only Pot players have been giving me trouble atm.

Me too. She's my least favorite. 😂  At least the general de-anime-ification of Strive makes her barely tolerable. 

 

The older games having a 8 year old May fighting a gender neutral Ky to Grr Heavy Metal always seemed like a very Japanese misfire on the devs' part.

@KingTubbis also a May gorilla.

 

Alki, you PC or PS4/5?

Ngl, low key hoping you're a PS player so I don't need to hear TOSHOGEKIIIIIIIIIII every 2 seconds.

 

This kid is worse than Athena, good lord.

My head hurts. 

 

 

Really glad I watched even though I won't attempt the character, I like to know what I'll be up against.  (Also mad respect to Zato mains.)

[GetTheTables]

I was gonna play May until I realized Ram got revised the way she did. Even though I like the way she plays I still want to try May at some point. She seems like a saucy little fucker. And her redesign is one of my favorites visually.

Ty all that watched the stream. The struggle is real to juggle 5 characters but slowly improving with all.  

 

Day 2 of mostly Laura gameplay managed to get over 5.5 K points 

 

 

PS : I like the character, but i really need to learn her setups and stuff. 

 

PS 2  : Laura mains, i now know your pain vs zoners.

 

Fuck it's nice to have a cmd grab though....

Zoning is more than just chuking plasma, you can also zone by using big ass normals, like how Litchi does/did on BB.

You can also zone by setting up stuff on the screen, since it forces your opponent to maneuver around the tools you put on the screen.

If you ever need practice against a really basic (and I mean very basic) Guile I’m down. I don’t care for him in 5 but I used to play him in 4.

I know what I have to do. Just don't have any margin for error. I need to say within sweep range at all time. Other wise he boom me for free. Have to be close enough to make him think twice about chucking one.

I don't expect anything until the patch drops at the earliest. They don't ever drop patch notes before the update IIRC. Honesty it's kind of cool to figure shit or see what people figure out.

BTW, every time I try to play an anime fighter I sit there in training mode unable to do a basic combo because I'm used to links.  Then everything clicks once I realize I just need to press buttons like a madman.
