Street Fighter 6 Lounge: The FGC has a crack problem.

I'm annoyed that sweeps are still unsafe. That should have stayed with SF5

I haven't encountered much jabbers. The constant crossups for pressure is the most persistent SF4 tactic I've seen used.

 

 

That's what it was like early on in SFV.  Two hits blocked, crossup.  Rinse and repeat.  

 

BTW, I heard someone paid $3,800 for a beta code 🤣

[Hecatom]

BTW, I have to say that I find funny how Capcom decided to copy the great lobby system that ASW started, all while ASW decided to not use it for their flagship franchise for some stupid reason, lmao.

 

Also, this is mostly on me for not reading the mechanics before the beta and just learning it as it goes, but I like how the Parry works more like the shield on the French Bread games, although a more easier version to use do being an all catch parry instead of worrying about high and lows.

 

 

Edit

 

Another thing, I don't know if is just me, but I could swear that there are times that the game eats my inputs.

Dunno if any other one has felt the same thing.

Is not often, but there are instances that I am almost sure it is what is happening when I am trying to do a super mid combo for example.

With parry being a core mechanic of the game it's not a strategy long for this world. Then again, it seems most people are using drive for EX and drive impacts. Most haven't figured out rush and I doubt anyone knows alpha counter is in the game

First two weeks I'm going to do nothing but alpha counters just to fuck with people.

There is something on that matchup that tells me that Juri will struggle against Kimberly.

The few matches I had, I felt that none of my  buttons or specials worked as an effective answer while her buttons and specials always felt like worked most of the time at any given moment.

Actually!!! The option is in the game! If you go up options, under language there's "character specific settings". It's just grayed out during the beta. Vocal mixing is back y'all!!!!!

Finally labbing. Could barely do much of it in the packed NA servers.

 

So I went to an empty ass Asia server to train.

 

So peaceful. 

[Yiceman]

I'm just catching up on everything after working all day, but it sure seems like this beta is...shockingly functional given how ambitiously packed with features this game is trying to be.

 

I can't wait to play this goddamn game.

[BornWinner]

Don’t know if this was posted already, but you can avoid the scaling after perfect parrying.

 

Edit: Turns out that it was training mode fuckery so the guy took down the video.

It finally reached a functional state. When it went live the servers had connection issues. They still happen on occasion

There's complains that scaling is too harsh when activating FSE during a combo

I haven't had one bad game online today. Just about every game felt as smooth as can be.

 

Very happy about that.

I'm mad that I keep getting blown up by drive impacts. I know they can be beaten with parry and throws but I still get wrecked when someone just throws it out.

Nah man im with you

Feel like every other option has some kind of sensible trade off, parry isn't great at stopping offense unless it's perfect, perfect parry is hard to do, alpha counter unsafe on block

 

Drive impact though i can't react to and it gets big returns on CH and close (not even all that close sometimes lol) to the wall. Doesn't demand any timing. There are plenty of answers that make it risky like jumping over it, throwing it, doing fast multi hit moves, and it does just hang out there for a long ass time if it whiffs.. so it is probably just a skill issue on my part but right now they feel obnoxious.

Impact is the new focus attack, shit's gonna be just as annoying to deal with. Doesn't help that both have armor and cause crumple state on hit

How do you guys feel about the throw tech in 6?

 

It pushes players s far away from each other it almost looks like a glitched interaction

As someone who can't tech for shit I like it. There's a slight delay that makes it easy to tech. I managed to be somewhat consistent with it.

@The Slick Tony

 

What's great about that combo is how mechanically simple it seems to be. I could never perfect his boom loops in V but I think Drive Rush cancels are going to be easier.

[Darc_Requiem]

@HawkingbirdSounds like Manon may be the character for us fam. Based off those voice clips. Although I didn't care at all for Abel in SFIV so not a guarantee.

I've been eyeing her and Marisa as my potential main. I need grabs and a big body. If Lily ends up being a t hawk replacement I might put her in the rotation too.

[Flackaveli]

 

 

Ok im starting to see the vibes of SF6

Hadn’t even thought of this but everyone in SF6 has the same health?

I feel this. The one Saturday I have totally free for like a month in either direction…few errands to run, house to myself, nobody asking me to do shit, and I’m here playing Civ 5 like a bum 😭

[Chun-Li_Forever]

Thanks to a PSN friend, I was able to download the beta from an extra access code they got. 

 

My impressions on Chun after playing her for a few hours.

 

I think my problem n playing 6 is that I'm playing Chun too much like SF5.
I'm not utilizing the stance as well as I should.
I only know and use two combos "st.mp, cr.mp, MK SBK" and "cr.mk, OD Legs"
I'm not using her Tensho kicks as real AAs, only sticking with her st.mk AA which doesn't do that good of dmg. I play on the PS5 controller, so I'm trying to get used to inputting "down,down" while moving around the screen. It's not something I'm used to, and I'm always left thinking should I use the analog stick or dpad
I'm not starting or utlizing light attacks they way they should be used in the game, I'm stuck with always relying on "medium, medium" to start my strings. And when I do use light, I'm timing them like I time chun's "cr.lk, cr.lp, cr.mk, Kikoken" block string

I'm still having fun with SF6 Chun. I don't think I've unlocked her true potential just yet. It's gonna take some practice, learning more combos, learning the right strings.
and even still, i'm not using Drive Impact properly. Like those who know how to read, counter, and punish the drive impact will be better off than those who spam it or use it predictably
So far, the character I've played against the most is Ken. He's still Yolo as ever
buttons in this game def feel heavy, and recovery on moves can feel like an eternity.
I've never been great with whiff punishing in 5. but i def feel that's something you need to be competent at in 6

Okay to absolutely no one's surprise, Marisa has a lot of super armor. That's good to know. Also...

 

"Explosive fighting style"

 

"Goddess of the hunt"

 

"They're about to get a BIG KNOCKOUT KISS"

 

"Those boots are made in Italy"

 

"LOADS UP THE JAVELINE AND BLASTS 'EM WITH THE GOOD STUFF"

 

Oh yeah. I need to see some gameplay NOW.

Listening to the leaked audio and Lily and Manon are definitely going to be my mains. @EvilCanadianLily has completely replaced T. Hawk. 

[BornWinner]

“Sunrise Festival! Can they ride the beat?”

 

”Sunrise Festival! Can they ride the beat until the end?” 
 

“Sunrise Festival! They gotta nail the inputs to keep this one!”

 

Sounds like Deejay got a Deadly Rave. Appropriate for a music based character.

I really like the combo of judo+ballet. I can only imagine she's gonna look very graceful in game. And it looks like Manon and Lily both have stackable resources too

T.HAWK HAS REPLACED LILY HAHAAAHA

 

SHE COULDA BEEN HER OWN CHARACTER BUT HIS DNA IS TOO STRONG AND OVERWROTE HER

 

T.HAWK LIVES FOREVER AND IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW

[delete_me]

Manon seems to have a power-up feature for her command grabs that carries over between rounds. I wonder if it's just a pure numbers boost à la Mika V-Skill (damage) or Hakan oil (range) or if it actually changes how the grab works as they did with G's presidential level.

 

Either way she sounds really interesting, but so do a lot of newcomers.
