HeavensCloud Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I think they did a good job with the groupings. The players that have had the most success in SF6 are all split up: Mena, Punk, Big Bird, Angry Bird and Kakeru. And the groups seem pretty well rounded.

purbeast Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) I got a question for you guys about a mental hurdle I have with SF6 and have always had with fighting games. When I am playing, and I think some BS happens or something, like I feel my move should have came out on wake up but doesn't and I get stuffed, even if it has to do with me pressing the wrong buttons, or if I feel like I blocked something but I didn't, I can't just let it go immediately. Like it semi puts me on tilt for the rest of the match and makes me play worse because I am dwelling on it. Any of you the same way or were the same way, and figured out a way to get over this mental hurdle? I feel like this is one of the mental aspects of the game I just can't get to grips with but know it is something that will help me if I can just forget it quickly and move on. EDIT: Perfect example was last night I won round 1 against my buddy and I was about to win round 2, but I dropped a special move after a normal that would have lead into CA and win, and he supered me and won round 2. Then the entire round 3 I was salty about it and it definitely hindered my play in round 3. I want to figure out how to clear that up. Edited August 8, 2023 by purbeast Quote Link to comment
Mattatsu Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 @purbeast definitely easier said than done, but you just got to forget it and move on. Don’t even think about it, and if you think about it for a millisecond tell your brain to shut up and focus on the current events. It’s hard at the start but gets easier with practice. one thing I do is sort of add it to my mental checklist and tell myself I’ll watch the replay later (if you’re playing on PS4/5, saving the last 15 mins of video after the match is helpful here). By adding it to a mental checklist, so to speak, I find it easier to move on. Shakunetsu, Jurassic, HeavensCloud and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment

Even pros drop stuff bro, and they practice 10 hours a day, Evo sf6 top 6 had pro players drop combos etc. nobody's perfect so this is the first thing you should learn to remember. If a move should have come out on wake up but didn't, then go into training mode and spend time until you get like 30 out of 30 wake ups etc. it's all practice and repetition. The important thing here to remember is that the more you play the more you'll get better and make less mistakes but that at the end of the day we ALL make mistakes so remember to just don't waste to much time thinking about what you did wrong etc. just faken play again and have fun.

Oh ok I didn't understand your post then my bad, so your problem is you getting tilted because of a mistake etc. for a long time, including matches after? Yea honestly that depends on the person, his character, the way he handles issues etc. some people just get over things faster than others. But I'm pretty sure you can definitely learn to not care so much eventually, pretty sure that's what's gonna happen one way or another. Quote Link to comment

Sonero Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Sligthy better fireball, an install that takes forever and he has to give up oki for and a situational special for combos. Hooray. Ken's sweep alone is fucking criminal. How he has the audacility to have a safeish on block special that he can just cancel into and easy peacy confirm into level 3 is baffling. Oh and he gets to side switch at random too. I don't get why he does so much. I'm playing cammy who is really good. And every time I play a Ken, it just feels they can do more random shit at all times and its always inordinately dangerous. On top of him having long range normals that convert into things too. Ken is good for bad reasons. Shakunetsu 1 Quote Link to comment

Sonero Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Don't know if its going to be the same for all DPs yet, but Jamie and Dee Jay, if you block their EX DPs you can punish with a full jump in combo. On Jamie's OD DP you can start the punish with a Drive Impact to take away an extra bar of drive, but it scales the combo more. Depending on the meter situation, might worth going for one rather than the other. On a a similar 4 hit combo, the jump in start gets you around 300 more damage than the Drive Impact one.

delete_me Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Are fighting games big enough to work under that assumption though? The concept of whales works because the games you mention each have a playerbase that is well beyond anything a fighting game can ever hope to reach. I wonder if it's something that can be profitable in the long run in this genre. I do agree though that for us it's a good thing that they're bleeding the casual Avatar audience dry to bankroll development of the real stuff. I was surprised to see the battle pass having basically nothing interesting in it at all, too. Quote Link to comment

Idk dude, marketing guys do big gambles (usually based on anti-consumer greed lol) and often lose too Only because the model exist within some areas of videogame world, does'nt mean is automatically going to work on every game player base This does'nt mean i believe you and i are smarter than them, just that gaming history and other stuff (think big movies/series bombing hard) show these slimy shits have far from 100% win ratio lol While i admit it's just narrow perspective, what i see in battle hub give me the impression large majority of people that would be the target audience for that is not buying shit In last 24h i think i seen like 2-3 TMNT, wich at current scam price of 15$ each is a grand total of 30-45$ in a sea of people wearing mostly free 0$ items or few dollar stuff If they made these like 5$ each and all four at bundle price of 15$, i'm pretty sure you will see LOT more around Personally i love editor stuff (as semi-casual mostly love the thing i can recreate SF characters that did'nt made it to SF6), would have bought fuckton of it if quality/price was there Bought just some, and i will give zero fucks at pay much more, but price is holding me back not for the $$$ itself but because what they offer is blatantly not worth the price Plus you have other hints they're handling it brainless Marketing wise whole current avatar thing make no sense if you want to push most of your DLC $$$ there, simple stuff that allow to use it elsewhere in Fighting Ground (I'm thinking Arcade, local VS, non-ranked VS online) whould have given huge incentive for people to buy items, but just to use it in WTM and shit BH stage vs random people make it waaay less appealing under consumer pov, and tbh while Capcom it's at their first experience at it, the smart nerds we speak about had more than a decade of Soul Calibur to copy to boost DLC sales lol Quote Link to comment

I guess we’ll find out if it works later but for now capcom is definitely going after this as if they were a triple a shooter. The battle pass is full of random bs Knick knacks to keep you going then anything you’d normally unlock in a fighting game is locked behind coins. Only having two colors available on the default costume is gross af. I think they should have given a little more content because at the end of the day this a game I payed 60$ for I shouldn’t have to buy some of this shit.

Mattatsu Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Yeah, I think the default colours thing (and lack of drive tickets) is shitty. I don’t mind the fighting pass because you can get all of your fighting coins back and you can buy it near the end of the pass so you’ll know if it’s worthwhile to buy I not. I do think most items in it suck, but now that the TMNT theme has taken over the battle hub, I’m glad I’ve earned some SF2 themes I can add to playlist and play instead. the TMNT skins and anything related to your avatar is pretty gross greed, but I think outfit 3 and future outfits will be reasonable so I don’t care too much Jocelot 1 Quote Link to comment
