The SF6 Thread: Back in my day we had to tick before throw!

elliephil · June 9, 2023

JP ex parry is quite the tricky move to deal with. It seems that if you have an EX fireball, it becomes a bit easier to deal with. Crazy that it beats normals, throws, and command grabs.

If you delay the EX hazanshu, I think the hitbox on the first bomb blast misses her or something? Works both in corner and midscreen.

Sonero · June 9, 2023

Why are Manon normals so fucking long? Goddamn, I can't think of a good way to even start approaching the broad.

Then between long ass normals, Drive Impact, PArry and jumping, I don't even know why Ryu has a fireball.

😭

She can also spin through his fireballs too ala SFV Balrog. Even has an attack follow-up from it like he does.

I forgot to use it because I like spamming drive impact lol

Right now I'm just going through SF6's World Tour mode and arcade mode at a comfortable pace. I'm full-time BCBA until the weekends and then I'm journeying to locals either as a TO or to get sets in my favorite games that my locals don't play (SFxT etc). All SF6 trials done!

Heartwarming.

You can check your friend list to use who's on and where. Check the member list in the megashock club.

Sonero · June 9, 2023

Its weird so far. Ryu has good normals, but he feels like he is fighting a bunch of mutants. There's about as many ways to get around fireballs as there were in 5 too (on top of system stuff).

Gonna need like two days in a row of just going over through things. Feels like you gotta know a lot about characters to fight them properly. Probably why dudes are losing their shit.

HOT TAKE!!

Don't want to spam the SF chat with Mk stuff but personally i'm hating on the in game character models! Everything else is ridiculous. Beautiful backgrounds, cool music, nice effects on all the fire, ice, electricity and blood, gory fatals ,new x rays, very cool stuff. It's just something about them in game is rubbing the wronggg way!!

Yeah, I don't want to derail it either, but I thought it was an improvement. It's still far from perfect, but the previous games looked a lot rougher and stiffer.

@Hawkingbird(or anyone who has played these games) help me find a main in SF6 based on my past mains.

SF4: Vega

SFV: Nash

Injustice 2: Supergirl

MK11: Frost

Xrd: Baiken

Strive: Nagoryuki

I love SF6 but so far nobody is scratching the itch

Based on this list, I’m going to say Cammy, Ken, or maybe Juri… Or you may be a Rashidoh main

You guys don't know how hard Imma hit up Rashid when he comes out.

Frame 1 you know the man is about to be dumb as shit in this game.

-PVL93- · June 9, 2023

If they leave his kit more or less unchanged from. V Rashido is gonna be the most annoying character in this entire game to constantly out you into burnout from blocking. And that's with Blanka existing in the same roster.

In my experience, just drive impact through stHK and stHP.

Once she's scared of using heavies, her mediums are underwhelming on their own.

Sonero · June 9, 2023

Maybe but she can poke pretty well with cr.lk and a few other low commit buttons. Also I gotta keep in mind that I'm not really playing this like I did Strive so that affects my ability to learn how to fight things at all.

😂

Gotta get myself on the work out plan I deviced for improving. Don't have a lot of time do things in this game.

delete_me · June 9, 2023

Do you think they'll show/tease Rashid on their showcase on Monday? I feel like it's a bit too soon, but on the other hand it would be a good way to keep the current momentum going.

Sonero · June 9, 2023

They don't need to show anything. Unless they are getting ready for the first DLC, not much reason to show that over just clips of dudes styling to further show how cool the game is.

Why do they need to keep momentum wound what’s already happening? The game has been out 1 week and everyone loves it.

I wouldn’t be opposed to a Rashid showcase but that feels unnecessary right now.

Don't expect him sooner than August

delete_me · June 9, 2023

It's E3 season, Mortal Kombat just had a big presentation, the internet moves fast. From this perspective I could see why they would want to show something.

But on the other hand, waiting until all of that stuff has cooled down and then getting back into the discussion with Rashid might even be a better strategy.

yeah I’m thinking they will release the trailer at Evo probably then add him a day or week later.

I think they'll show Rashid. He's the first DLC character with the summer 2023 window. He would be perfect for the showcase

Evo should get AKI. Her release window is closer to when Evo takes place.

Jocelot · June 9, 2023

Oh dang, I almost forgot Rashid is coming to the game.

I wonder how his ummmm, Rashidisms will translate to SF6. I had a dream about him once, and I foresaw him becoming C tier.

Interesting how that doesn't represent my experience at all. I barely ever see Juri or Cammy for example, which surprised me quite a bit. Marisa, Ryu, Ken and, oddly, JP are all over the place in my games.

Hawkingbird · June 9, 2023

I don't run into Kens often. I have encountered lots of Zangief, JP, Manon, Marisa and Dee Jay.

Daemos · June 9, 2023

I love Flashgitz! Millions of people are potentially gonna watch these!

HeavensCloud · June 9, 2023

I've fought every character except Honda, Blanka and Dhalsim. Not looking forward to fighting them either lol.

Phantom_Miria · June 9, 2023

I think the characters I met the least are Lily and Dhalsim, followed surprisingly by Guile.

Also surprisingly, JP seems pretty common.

Illwill88 · June 9, 2023

I’m kind of shocked at not playing against any guiles so far, maybe people were bored from the beta?

I didn't see the part about "but I think he's really a slept-on top tier". 🤨

Nothing too surprising here.

JP just seems like a character that simply won't exist at certain ranks depending on whether his player "gets it" or not. He gets his ass beat free by literally everyone until the player gets it, then immediately rises three ranks in an hour.

Top 5 or 6 characters, no surprise.

Lily's popularity seems strongly tied to region. NA and JP seems to be her only home? But it also seems like the bloom is coming off the rose as people aren't winning with her. Lots of complaints about move input overlap, feast or famine normals, etc

I'm happy I didn't choose a popular character this time around. Even if he is as dumb and op as reddit says maybe he'll escape the nerf bat on being rare enough not to be a bother.

Proud to say that after many years of hosting SF tournaments, CEO this June will be our biggest ever. 1,000+ players are kicking off a new era with us. It makes me excited to see the giant numbers CPT’s Offline Premiers will help create if this is what our non-CPT event can do!
