As someone who doesn’t know much about VPN’s, is there any risk of the Capcom’s kicking in my door if I do this?

 

Unless the TOS explicitly says so, it shouldn't be an issue.

I play a lot of games with a VPN on my end since I use it for work and at times I forget I had it on on my laptop.

I fucked around doing this with VPNs just an hour or two ago, and they all screwed up after a 15 min period then download/decrypting time going to shit. Check Discord for @misterBeeinsights, he knows far more than me about this

Works fine.

 

I just spent 2 hours in training mode.

 

Just let the game decrypt/unpack. It'll keep giving you wildly different ETAs but it doesn't matter.  Leave it on and eventually it'll finish.  All it's doing is extracting the files it downloaded -- Steam doesn't even connect to the internet while doing it, so your VPN has no effect on the process.

You should be fine, for all they know you flew to Japan for the launch.

I've done the Cammy, Manon, Marisa and Zangief trial so far. Now I'm into training mode with Manon.

 

Fun fact: her crLK is -5 on block. Don't ever let her press stuff after blocking that button.

[Vhozite]

WE lN TBIS BITCH LIKE NEWBORNS BABY

[Vhozite]

It’s a really small thing but I love how when you’re doing trials and you finish it brings up the menu that lets you immediately jump into another character without going back to the main menu. 
 

Great UI design. 
 

Lol jeez Lily forward dash is not great

My man went from from “y’all sure I’m good?” to “fuck it we ball” 😂😂

[Vhozite]

Ngl some of these trials are harder than I was expecting. Some of it is fatigue on my end, but you definitely need to be on point for some of these, especially if it’s your first time using the character. I’m doing Ken’s Advanced 4 right now and the timing on the combo is very tight even though it’s not hard to understand. Definitely had to watch some demonstrations. So far I struggle with the Drive Rush combos  from lights the most.

 

As of this post I’ve finished Marisa, Manon, Cammy, and I’ve don’t all but the very last on Ken and Lily.

What’s the reason Manon’s heavy wheel kick does less damage and starts slower than the medium? Maybe I’m sleepy but I can’t figure it out 

 

Edit: Her s.hp is easily confirmable into the target combo. Safe on block too at -3.

Edited June 2, 2023 by Vhozite

[Hecatom]

Damn, Cammy's dashes suck ass on this game

 

Edit

 

And why the game keeps being in english despite me changing the voices to japanese already 😠

Edited June 2, 2023 by Hecatom

[Vhozite]

Cammy’s dives seem ok. You can make the meterless versions plus as long as you’re hitting below the waist. Hitting them in the feet I could manage +3 on block and in the head it’s -5. On hit they are at worst +2, and perfect spacing they can be a whopping +9 on hit. EX has a tiny bit more advantage on block and is always safe (-2 at the worst). But advantage seems the same as meterless, tho it’s worth noting it’s cancelable into air SA2. So if you want to be cute Cammy can jump at you and do j.mp xx EX.Strike and hit confirm into super. On block she’s +2 or +3.
 

As you’d expect her buttons are pretty good, though the only one that’s plus on block is cr.hp (roughly same animation as SFV).

 

Spin Knuckle is legit. Light and medium are both safe on block, medium has fireball invul, and heavy has the fireball invul and is plus on block. 
 

Also FYI the overhead from hooligan is safe but not plus. Take your turn if you block it.

I do hope that the scene at least learns to be more healthy than on the sf4 days, and other games still manage to shine as well.

Having only 1 or 2 games dominating is not healthy for the scene at all.

 

The last current years were actually in a way good for the scene, without SFV being the obsession we had a great variety of games being played.

Last post then I’m turning in for the night.

 

Juri’s dives can be made safe,  it for the most part the are unsafe. Best I could manage was -3. Anything above the waist can be punished. 
 

Not a fan of light wheel knocking down here.

 

Idk if I’m the only one who didn’t know but all Juri’s store kicks are unsafe up close. 
L/M/H/EX are -4/-6/-8/-12 respectively. She does that shit in a block string her turn is over. 
 

Her overhead is -3 on block and before you no she doesn’t get links from it in FSE. It is however +1 on block from a drive rush. 
 

Her cr.mp is +5 on hit, enough for her to link Tensenrin on hit if she’s close.

 

Her dash travels pretty damn far. It’s 22 frames but it goes far. Two dashes from full screen buts her in throw range. Far as I can tell it’s not buffed in FSE tho. 
 

Speaking of that, FSE in addition to the chain combos it makes every button besides overhead cancelable. She can do shit like sweep drive rush for pressure.

HAPPY SF6 DAY Y’ALL!!! Let’s all let loose and have a fantastic time! I’m excited to see what y’all do with the game in even the next few hours! 

[delete_me]

One thing I forgot to mention yesterday is that I was a bit flabbergasted when I realised that JP has a counter. This might have been known beforehand but I only noticed it by accident. So in addition to his nutty keepaway game and the three defensive system mechanics at his disposal, he can also use a counter which summons a bomb onto his enemy that works a bit like Bison's Trigger II in SFV (if I'm not mistaken).

 

If that guy doesn't end up being Über S-Tier I'll never look at Cammy's butt ever again.

[elliephil]

I've noticed with a lot of the divekicks that you basically have to hit the feet on most characters to get any kind of conversion. Dhalsim drills placement is the difference between taking or losing your turn. You practically have to be hitting the opponents feet.

 

 

If Dhalsim hits Ryu's waist on block, -4 at least.

 

Even if you hit with the drill in seemingly the same spot, it can vary the frame advantage between something or nothing.

@BornWinnerParis stage theme. Proper, all rounds mix.

[Totalsagat]

Spent probably 6 hours straight on Lilly. 

 

She's a really top character with windclad stocked. She's a really bad character without windclad stocked. 

 

Your whole game with her is to get stocked. Her EX spire into level 2 will probably keep her competitive, can reaction fireballs for 400.

I know this is a dumb question to ask on this board due to possible bias and the game literally releasing today, but is it good so far? Better than V? I'm thinking about picking it up just because a lot of reviews seem to be good for it and my gaming drought is real right now. I'm not liking the character designs and artstyle that much, but if the game is good I can overlook that.

It is fun and most of us enjoyed the beta a lot. I think if you didn't like V, you will really like 6.

This game shits furiously on SFV in almost every possible way

[Vhozite]

SF6 has already reached more than 3x SFV max concurrent players on PC. Blew every other FG out of the water too.

It certainly leaves a significantly better first impression. Even though I enjoyed the early days of SFV there were still things that made me scratch my head from Day One, like the input lag, the bad AAs and the uneven V-Trigger strengths. 6 has none of these immediate red flags or faults that jump out of the screen, it's just fun to play and see what you can make of it. Whether people will still be positive about it in one, two or three years, nobody can say, but if you like fighting games there's really no reason to give this a miss right now.

I'll be picking this up later today. For anyone that pre-ordered through Best Buy, did you get the Steelbook at pickup?

 

 

[axeman61]

Thanks guys. That's all I need. May pick it up later if I'm up for it.

[Vhozite]

So far I’ve narrowed it down to Cammy, Marisa, or Manon. Cammy I felt right at home but Marisa and Manon I need help or more time figuring out a gameplan. I will say Manon requires more brainpower than i expected.

 

Lily and especially Gief were a bit too slow for me. I know the former has a safe advancing special but I couldn’t cope. Ken is better than I originally thought but also just not for me since he doesn’t very little of what I actually like.

Juri I’m really on the fence about. She doesn’t seem bad necessarily but I also found her to be really boring outside of FSE. Probably need a dedicated Juri player to show me the way. I will say I LOVE that store is a proper special now with EX, different versions for every button, and can be done even while stocked.

As predicted they realized being trolled only after they got scammed hard into believe SF bent to their bullshit, when was just the surface made to grab 9.something score everywhere in the west

 

Show once more how retarded western "gaming journalism" became, anybody with minimal knowledge/competence would have seen the whole SF6 being woke as a VERY thin mask lmao, but competence is something they never had, just their politics and mouth full of shit

I'd say restraint and patience rather than brainpower. You have to pick your openings carefully, but other than that she's pretty straightforward I think.

Ultimate Edition and I'll do it for 2 months and only play Blanka on the first big lobby we do.

What's up folks, I keep forgetting there's a whole ass different section to this site because I'm so busy shitposting in GD. I played for a couple hours last night and I'm loving the game. Mostly fucking around with Ryu just to learn the system and mechanics. Feel free to add me if you want to play some matches. I'm old balls and slow but I'm invested in learning and getting better.

I only really play in the evenings though. Not a whole lot of time with a 3 year old running around these days.
