If you're Iron and in need of tips then that means you have absolutely 0 fundamentals and specific character tips should be the last of your concerns
Just focus on the most basic of basics like getting your execution consistent, learn your combos, learn to anti air (you don't need to be consistent yet just try to do it), learn to react to DI (same as above consistency comes later)
Think about the buttons you're pressing and why you're pressing them. Every button should have a reason behind it not just to press something for the sake of pressing something
Stop jumping so much I guarantee you jump nonstop because you feel nervous on the ground. Stop that
Only throw out one fireball at closer ranges until you start to get in the groove and feel you're pressuring your opponent well enough to throw multiple. Jump ins are the number 1 killer for lower ranked Ryus
I think that just speaks about how weak Platinum is. Being able to win streak into it without properly building your fundamentals kind of devalues it. I'm hoping Diamond is stronger in general.
This. Platinum is basically SFV gold, it's for people that found one or two gimmicks that are hard to deal with and have little to no deep knowledge of the game mechanics.

If you're stuck in gold you have no property to comment on other people's gameplay, just saying.
The only problem with SF6's rank system is the fact that you can skip most of them by selecting that you're a veteran when first queueing for ranked. I literally won 6/10 placements on day one and got sent straight to Diamond

Probably the zangief got sent straight to Platinum based on his placement matches, that's the problem I was saying.
im not stuck in gold, Ive had the game for like 3 days and can only play 2 hours at a time and realize I should have picked Veteran because I got placed in gold for getting like 7/10 and picking the one below Veteran.
Meanwhile scrubs like you who picked Veteran don't deserve diamond rank, and now I have to fricking grind matches against scrubs in ranked until I can start properly being matchmaked with equal skill level players. Sometimes I run into other Gold players who have the same problem and actually have good matches

You misunderstood me. I am not saying avoid anything. You have to treat different levels of player differently.

You should be jumping multiple ranks in Gold, or all the way to plat in 2 hours due to win streak bonus. Unless you're going 2-1 in sets, which means that you're exactly at the ranks you're supposed to be.

Hilarious that you could double down on such a stupid argument that's both moronic on paper (guy with a 66% winrate doesn't deserve to climb, guy with a 50% winrate does because he went on a lucky winstreak) AND while literally being able to play the game's ranked mode and observe the consequences of a broken system (braindead players spamming knowledge checks and going on lucky win streaks sitting in the 3rd highest rank in the game). All for what, winning a Ganker argument? What a pointless thing to do.

A 2-0 winrate is a 100% winrate, but I'm not the one creating absurb hypotheticals where somehow one player is somehow in the wrong rank but also matched in equal sets, but the other undeserving somehow only gets shitters.

Are you really this stupid? I'm describing a person with a 50% total winrate, or even a slightly negative one, who goes on a lucky winstreak. Below plat, you can literally climb with a negative overall win rate. I'm talking you hit a 4-5 win streak, you need like 10 losses to lose the LP you gained. Do you think that's a rare scenario or something?
Also there's nothing "absurd" about going on lucky winstreaks, it's an online 1v1 game that's incredible volatile. You could get 4 people in a row who are low gold even though you're high gold and farm them. You could get 4 people in a row who are tilted and play poorly. You could get 4 people in a row who don't know how to play against your character and you just knowledge check them (e.g. Honda, Marisa).
Like I said, this isn't a hypothetical thing. You can literally open a gold 1 replay right now and watch a bumbling moron on Honda who doesn't know how to block, then pull up a Jamie in silver 3 who clearly has a better understanding of how fighting games work. I've never seen anyone defend this game's ranking system until this very moment, and yet here you are doing it because you want to double down on a stupid argument on Ganker. Incredible.

This shit is such a mess. Platinum is the new Silver and Diamond is the new Gold because they just gave that shit away in placement matches to make people feel like they're accomplishing more than they really are. Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold are fricking filler tiers now that only exist to inflate the egos of Plat and Dime players so they'll stay subbed to the Battle Pass.

Ranks in this game are a fricking mess. In upper gold you don't know if you'll get someone competent or a complete shitter that got lucky with a win streak. People complained about 90% of the playerbase being below Silver in SFV but at least you were likely to get a match against an equal opponent. Win streaks should be capped at giving 200 points max, and even that is too much.
The game is not even a month old, ranks need time to mature and stabilize. Also, that's the downside of character based rankings, you'll always risk getting some Diamond trying a new character and stomping morons like
>or randomly do Drive Impacts after empty jumps or whiffed buttons
I'll stop doing it when it stops working.
You can't winstreak into plat 4 though, winstreaks die as soon as you hit plat 1. At that point you get slightly more points for winning than losing, and I don't think DSP has played enough to climb to plat for with a 50/50 winrate, so he probably has a positive one. DSP isn't an awful player, just a salty b***h who's incapable of adapting. He's definitely better than the normalgays playing SF for the first time (which is like half of this game's playerbase right now).
Well of course you can't winsteak into plat 4, but those that do end up in Plat 1 and 2 make for fine fodder. You still net gain when you win a match then lose the next match. It's an actual grind vs an actual test of skill. I'm interested where the hard cutoff point is.
I'm almost in Plat 4 with Modern Ken and I'm not even playing well, I'm playing like a spastic that spams Dragonlash, Hadoken, autocombos and mashes EX Shoryu out of everything. It's a mess. It feels like Diamond is where the ranks actually start to get serious.

You think he would just lie like that? I think it's funny how LTG seems to have more relevance culturally despite having the nickname Black DSP forever.
Just hit Platinum 2. It feels like there's an immense amount of nonsensical shit I see for the first time in each match from characters I don't play against constantly.
Plat 1 - 2 took me a week. It very much feels like a scrub place considering the bloated ranked system. It’s my first SF and reaching Plat in under 30 hours feels pretty moronic, considering there are only 2 ranks above it. But yeah, opponents feel either extremely bad trying to hold onto their rank or extremely good grinding their way up. See ya at Plat 3 anon.
Only because they don’t have the Win-streak bonus. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s 2 ranks. Gotta give it to them tho. It’s a smart move making Plat easy to achieve so more casual players can feel like they achieved something without having to go through the grinding/extensive learning of a fighting game.
But it's not just two ranks
It's 10 sub ranks too
And the lack of winstreak bonus means you need consistency to rank up. It's not a free climb to master if you aren't better than the average player at your rank. Even if you're breaking even at a solid 50% win rate you still need to win hundreds and hundreds of matches while keeping that level of consistency
I’m not denying the grind moron, nor am I taking away from the skill needed to do so. I’m saying that as an outsider playing SF for the first time seeing only 2 ranks above the casual ceiling feels stupid. Learn to read autist.
Hard stuck in gold 5, can't react to DI, my cognitive crumbles when my opponent starts mixing approach, miss my oki often, get counter thrown. I don't have The Gene™.
no, usually in fighting games you block attacks and tech throws, DI is the rare occurence where if you dont do anything you can get fricked up alot worse than "taking the throw".
here we go with the "ive been playing since-" but this is the first SF game that makes me feel like a moron for not being able to press 1 button. i can AA, AA super even fairly competently but i see a raw DI and i crouchblock
>not plateauing, actually playing worse than I was the previous days >lasts for 2 days every time then go right back to improving, ranking up and doing things I couldn't do before
Is it possible to be skill manic-depressive?
Take 1-2 days off in the middle of skill grinds of any kind every time you hit the wall.
Works all the time. Your brain needs time and sleep to integrate what it's already learned.
This. I've been playing Next Fest demos the past few days so I can start climbing Platinum again fresh this weekend. But many fighters in there, but Resistance 204X is a great premise that feels good enough.
i have switched mains every time i deigned to finish my placement matches. not even on purpose. ive been through Marisa, Gief and now im onto Manon. havnt made it past Gold on any because the pleb i am chose Intermediate then got sandbagged when i didnt know my frames
>havnt made it past Gold on any because the pleb i am chose Intermediate then got sandbagged when i didnt know my frames
here's a secret
neither do your opponents in gold rank
honestly might just play ranked exclusively and get over the idea its for me to gain ranks in because every pleb with a rank under Plat that ive played just walks backwards while i stand dead still and the New Challengers are all varying degrees of autopilot monkeys.
i want to get my shit kicked in not clipped with a spare DI because theyre new and its their main tool. i know- >just react
cant cancel out of a HK poke in neutral like that, i have to learn to play SF6 now and i might aswell learn it from people wh oare good at it
TL;DR i aint learning shit from Cammy walking backwards
Just hit Platinum 2. It feels like there's an immense amount of nonsensical shit I see for the first time in each match from characters I don't play against constantly.
and I feel like even in Plat 1 people spam DI at random. It's significantly less in upper Plat 1 and Plat 2 altogether but you're talking as if Plat is the be all end all.
just speaking from experience. dont want to veer into scrub huffing about "puss plat players just baiting DI" or something but anythings got to be better than people refusing to play the game with me
Gief is such a fun character, shame that JP completely kills any reason to play him. Not a fan of the rest of the cast.
JP can frick up just as hard as anyone else. i ended this dickheads 19 winstreak and he immediately quit

nah. LTG is actually really good looking (which is partly why he's easy to meme as his good looks combined with his toxicity creates a type of ironic whiplash comedic effect). average Ganker user is probably average to goofy looking with SOME people on Ganker being better off but not by much.
LTG also has also manage to actually get laid. Ganker is full on WIZARD in most cases due to lack of confidence from lack of trying to look good.
>Doing Ranked placement matches >Land my level 3 super and about to win >Opponent quits before it finishes >They receive no penalty >Meanwhile I get slapped with a "No Contest", hurting my placement
You know shit about suffering, with tools like DR you can destroy any JP just as well with a bit of patience. Grappler players these days just want coinflips on a button and forgot that by design they were supposed to work to get there cause they got used to hammerfall mash working against bads as Potemkin or something.
You are mentally moronic if you think any match up in 6 is anywhere close to Super Turbo's Gief vs Dhalsim.

Lariat catches roundstart shenanigans and is a decent combo ender. White woman monkey brain and Cocowomen monkey brain. Hooligan combination aint shit and never was
Any spicy tech to share? Got kicked outta Diamond with Gief and Ive been tumbling down to Plat 3 where Im kinda getting my footing again. Learned how to poke-> cancel into grab to deal with the DI spam.
However I still have issues getting close enough to apply Headbutt, Hellstab and gief's ticks & traps. Im being solely being kept afloat by doing walkup SPD in neutral, catching jumps with TK Borsch Dynamite and solid poking.
charged j.dropkick on CH will get you a fullscreen wallbounce you can OD Borscht into, if that isnt the definition of a neutral jump punish i dont know what is.
also try holding parry after anything unsafe, best case scenario is they try to jab you and you can SPD them for pressing too many buttons but you can just as easily get grabbed
I prefer hellstab into lariat after CH charged j.HK cause you dont reset fullscreen after landing it. charged j.HK is unsafe as absolute shit and I have no idea why no one punishes it. I even have to throw it out as an absolute hail mary coin flip as its too slow to actually punish someone on reaction with.
Regarding parry into SPD when tanking jabs. SPD has a 5f startup so unless I do a perfect parry it feels like I cant grab em. Would a normal throw work? I know parry into 2LK->5LP/5LK allows you to set up a SPD/Siberian express tickthrow, but my execution is so shit I drop that one often.

its less that the SPD is safe enough to do and more that youre gambling theyll try and commit to pressure, like you said, unless its a perfect parry they can basically frick off and do something else while youre sat there or worse yet, continue to press buttons. normal throws seem to work well but at that point if i was going to just throw parrying was a waste.
idk if youre execution is the problem so much as the timing just being naturally off-kilter same as anyones 5LP,5LK in this game. either that or i have fricked up execution aswell and not liking doing it on Manon and Ken either is just me being shit

Seeing as Im surrounded by Giefbro's, ya'll manage to implement the Smegmata Dropkick and Tundra Ankletwister counter into your gameplan or do you just ignore em?
They feel so shitty to use that I only use Tundra to counter DI's. Ive tried using em in neutral or for low crushes but it seems there are better tools for the job.
i have never once even thought about attempting to input ankletwister because fighting games have told me i have a 90% chance of eat a full combo from move-specific-counters because i am shit at reads.
even if im fighting Juri or Ken i aint gonna do it because itll be the one time they go into burn out off the LP or MP Drive Rush starter and kill me
if you're fighting jury and you notice they're using kicks to fight you at range - ankle twister.
same for the drive impact, its a kick lmao. if they're using it too much in the corner, learn the pattern, and grab ankle. it'll make them scared of you, but realistically it'd be better to punish with your own drive, unless you are near burnout.
Probably gonna get it when the summer sale starts, even if it doesn't get discounted.

>why are Zangief's so wholesome?
Gief players are just the most chill and laidback ones. Often they're just really into wrestling and just like Zangief because he's big, that's really it.
It's easier on fightstick, you usually have to buffer it with another move or by crouching. Charge a headbutt like normal, then quickly tap forward back forward instead of shooting it off right away.
Then put effort into learning classic controls. I did, and I'm shit at the game, but I can still do the moves. Only takes like a week at most to get the basics down and then it's just muscle memory.
Pressing right + punch will never be as inherently satisfying as hearing the three clicks on the stick when you do a fireball.
Keep it up guys, i'm not an SF fighter but good luck
Elaborate. She seems to be only missing like one move with modern controls. All the most important moves are still there with modern when it comes to Juri.
>release ranking update later down the line so that there actually is a skill division after eveyone has gotten comfortable playing at different ranks and the push higher is basically its own ranked system of competent players only
kind of makes sense
I'm an abare unga bunga player so yeah. The key is to just pump the breaks and not go full offense constantly unless you're someone with cheeky plus frames other players don't know about like Blanka.
i'm hardstuck at the bottom of gold right now
i'm good about blocking, anti-airing, parrying projectiles and dealing with throw pressure
BUT my combos are terrible and i can't ever react to getting DI'd in the corner in time so i eat shit too much to make up the difference
diamond is inflated
watching masters play sometimes feel like I'm watching silvers
the only rank that's honest is iron as you have to be absolutely new or moronic in order to be an iron
the ranking system is fricked
>watching masters play sometimes feel like I'm watching silvers
I think people who say this forget what actual silvers were like since they haven't been that rank in so long
I was super plat in SFV and I'm currently plat 2 in SFVI. Guy I know was ultra plat and now he's plat 1. I don't think it's as inflated as people think, it's mostly just letting people reach the higher ranks faster. When V started it took a while for people to reach higher ranks, this lets people rank up faster between placements and win streaks in lower ranks.
tell me how it makes any fricking sense that the game thinks that's a fricking DP input
I'd like to see how clean your fricking motions are when doing a single move into a super
Yeah it’s like if this game sees any 3 directions+attack and can’t figure out what it is, it just defaults to DP >I'd like to see how clean your fricking motions are
Frame perfect everytime of course
In a strict game you wouldn't get neither fireball nor DP since you're missing the clean 2 input.
SF has been extremely lax with it so I wouldn't be surprised if people coming from slightly stricter games are getting misinputs out the wazoo.
Also looks like hitbox since skipping 2 is a common issue when learning.
My suggestion would be to try starting the halfcircle from forward rather than down forward. That + have a moment where you're holding all 3 buttons to get the down input in there.
Black person I'm on a stick, I literally did a stand fierce into a level 2 super and it gave me a fricking DP
there is no fricking excuse for that level of input Black persony
I'm spinning the stick in the complete fricking opposite direction
Some games just are like that.
Like for example if they register the 4 cardinal direcitons and you have a 360 move they'll give it to you even if you input a QCF at the end
Same thing happening here
Double HCB especially when done that fast has all the ingredients needed for a DP, that being some forward input followed by down then another forward, it's why 626, 323, 636 work as DP inputs.
I'm just explaining what is very likely happening. Whether you agree with that or not is up to you.
Is anyone else struggling to get into 6?
Lots of the time playing I just wish I was back playing V. Idk if its because I'm still adapting to 6 or if I just preferred V. Its an awkward feel though
Only thing I miss from V is the roster, personally I like how returning characters get both their v skills or a better version of their best one, they feel more feature complete. Honda is especially nice now that I don't have to chose between better combo routes or higher combo damage, now I just have both outright.
6 currently haSs one single flavour of everything. Its extremy basic at the moment. No Vega, Menat, Boxer, Sagat- not even Akuma yet.
Its just gonna be a long ass ride until im even half as happy not knowing who to pick. There is ONE character in the game with a non standard direction projectile and i mained Gill so i had to make do with Marisa til i gave up because its not the same
I'm a Vega main, so I'm feeling that right now. Fortunately Honda was my secondary, but it kind of sucks knowing certain playstyles were just straight up deleted.
>have 1/3rd of the boss's hp and deal 1/6th of his damage despite being roughly the same level
alright I guess I'll go frick myself and grind menial tasks
Currently hardstuck on Plat 3. I started on Silver (presumably because I answered Novice before placements as this is my first SF). Playing Lily only, I'll probably drop her the moment they reveal a Final Fight character but for now I'm sticking with her
I played a lot of SamSho 2019 up until S2, other than that only Smash seriously. I'd like to expand from SF6 eventually and maybe get into older games on Fightcade
ethernet elitism had its place in the olden days but honestly the sf6 netcode is pretty good, i only run into connection hiccups in like 1 out of 50 matches and they're usually momentary at worst
WiFi is still too unstable and the ingame indicator way too unreliable. I can have 4 bar WiFi matches with a few very minor hiccups, or ones which are on constant 7 frame rollback
Man, frick Juri's drive rush. I won't defend that shit and frick the Black folk that main her. Genuinely gets my blood boiling when I'm matched up with one.
Still a fun game and I'd happily fight another one though.

I want to go back to playing fricking Zelda, or any of the other games in my backlog I haven't started or finished, or read threads I've had bookmarked for weeks, or organize the images I've had saved in a disgusting pile for months, or watch anime episodes I've missed because I can't stop being consumed by this fricking moronic game
>Can't wait to get out of Iron let's see who I'm facing today >Modern Ken >Modern Ken >Modern Jamie >Modern Ken >Classic Cammy
like I'm not necessarily hating Modern players, but I'd like to filter them out more than filtering players by PC or console. As a new player I'm still learning my inputs, basic combos, and timings. Meanwhile this dude is just throwing out screen to screen combos and applying pressure with the weight of an ape
Dunno bruh i never do it. There's almost no reason to as it barely adds anything to your damage. I can't think of a situation where you need to do it where you can't raw super or just heavy fuha into super.
>all the rankgayging itt
Is there anything more embarrassing?
Rank has never and will never be an actual indicator of how good you are at a fighting game.
I literally got made fun of in a previous thread for losing in ranked and then bodying the Black person in a long set in a lobby so hard he quit before it was even over
homosexuals who post here are fricking deranged and have never been to a tournament
bro that's literally all we have. what else are we gonna brag about? our slimer rush combos or our World Tour characters? there's not even much point in rostergayging since we already know every character getting added for at least a year, and because the Season Passes are so small that we're looking at like 12 more returning characters before they retire the game if we're lucky. the other 4 slots probably go to other Newcomers like AKI.
>5 Seasons at 4 characters each makes 20 characters >we already know 4; Akuma, Ed, Rashid, and AKI >that leaves 4 Passes and 16 slots >if every Pass includes only one Newcomer, that only leaves 12 slots for returning characters
if you think Capcom are gonna go back to giving you more than 4 characters per Season after 1/3rd of the playerbase happily fork over $50 for the 4 character Ultimate Season Pass you're smoking dust. if you wanna buy 7 or 8 Season Passes at this price point and size to match the rosters of the last two mainline Street Fighter games, you're bugged the frick out.
I guess it's a coincidence then that great fighting game players are all master rank? Surely you are master rank as well? Tell me you are at least diamond
you sound like a guy who can't cope with losing and is a mental midget. at least you had the foresight to figure out ranked is not for you so you don't end up running your head through a wall
>the character designer's barely concealed hypermuscle fetish
i hate this b***h for stealing a slot from an actual strong girl who represents both strength and femininity.
Dude that's all it takes to be a woman to actual women. They cake the shit on even when they do not need it, and it makes them feel better. I have told plenty of women they look great without makeup, but it doesn't stop them from pursuing some near-kabuki level of done-up.

that's the sad part, I dont even blame troons for that mindset because women brought that shit onto themselves

all it comes with is some premium currency and a couple alternate costumes for each DLC character. it's honestly kinda annoying considering SFV gave away costumes with the regular Season Passes instead of relegating it to a Premium tier reward. shit is starting to feel like i'm subscribed to Capcom's Patreon.
I like to play arcade mode on my Deck while watching random stuff on Youtube and I swear it loses connection to the online servers all the time now. Is it the servers or is my Deck just finnicky?

It would be cool if Li-Fen was actually Ryu and Chuns kid but Ryu is too much of an autistic manchild who only knows how to fight and Chun is too much of a career woman so they just pretend.
I look like this and do this, but i do sandbag vs noobs pretty often because there's no joy in frame trapping them to death when they can't even reversal with modern.
Is there any good supplementary (preferably canon) material? I glanced at the Cammy Udon comic and it was ass. The SF6 comic was surprisingly good which set me up for unrealistic expectations for sf6's actual story.

have you never just searched a character tag + some notable tags (in this case, animated) and gone on a wank adventure to find the grail you seek? There’s not a lot of animated stuff to sift through if you got a character to search with it.
if you haven't seen every single result under "animated + waifu tag", is she really even your waifu? lmao
this is such a wild time to be alive as a fan of animated smut. Blender/SFM and high quality, niche, 2D, smut animation only began to emerge in mass within the last 5-10 years. being alive right now as a fan of this stuff is like having been a fan of music 5-10 years after it was invented. there's still billions of hours of animation that haven't even been conceptualized yet that'll be produced at some point in the next 100 years. it's crazy.
been playing jamie for a week now and still losing 60% of my matches
i know all his moves, combos, know what is safe, can manage my drinks level fine but im getting annihilated by drive impact and people just blocking everything i do
i dive kick for the shins = hit by di
i crouching med kick for the combo = hit by di
jump towards with hard punch = hit by di
i cross up = everything is blocked
i wake up attack = blocked or thrown
and absolutely frick his command grab, when are you supposed to use it because i just get wrecked jumping in with it, trying to grab on wakeup or as a punish
the only thing i can do consistently is his anti air but that only goes so far
it feels like even if i win the first game im getting wrecked in the next two because the player has figured me out
I don't think there's any deranking until you get to platinum. I started at the bottom of gold and have been firmly entrenched there.
How are you getting hit by drive impact homie all your moves are fast and multi hitting it's like just hit hp bro
HP and target combos are the only reliable armor breakers, and they both have issues when it comes to optimal combo damage. Bakkai's too slow to start hitting and is an easy punish if they block instead. His light kicks, despite being their own little attack string, are too slow to break armor. And his EX DP is only one hit when blocked, after which he just flops on the ground. Compare that to Ken's DP that just blows up armor.

Sorry that you have to learn to bait out DIs, Jamie players. It really is unfair that you have to mix in cancelable normals like everyone else 🙁
Yeah I've had the target combo break the DI a few times, one of the bigger problems im having is actually my own fault though, ive conditioned myself to target combo into drive rush kick that launches, into mid air HK into either arrow or crouch kick for the drink
but as a result my drive guage is just gone half the match, i need to just ditch the flashy combo
>fr*nch Plat Blanka kept spamming blanka balls and jumping like a tard >gets obliterated and has the gals to ask for a run back
No footsies, no rematch.
It's sad. Also it might be just an opinion but i don't see that many people inmersed in modding in general like before.

i think SF6 just has a very small roster and a weird look that's a departure from the series traditional Japanese aesthetic, so it hasn't been a huge hit with the same people who liked SFV. Jive got a lot of mods, especially as more characters came out. people are still making mods for Jive, actually.

If you have a fireball that can contend you can always have a fireball war, trying to win it with a well timed EX or something
Always parry fireballs or you'll get burnt out. Advance in as you parry and if you can read their timing jump in for a full punish >throw loops
Either read the throw and tech or backdash if your backdash recovers fast enough and backthrow them into the corner
Alternatively read that they're not going to throw and maybe try to mash your quickest button and stuff their pressure, try EX reversal, you have to learn how to play while cornered
tbh what's funny is smash is like 1000x harder than this game
neutral in this game is so easy i can still win games doing my 5% combo just because I win neutral 10x as much as my opponent. my issue is running into people who do 50%+ every combo since i just cannot output enough damage to even it out
>is the only way to get really good just googling and memorizing combos for specific scenarios
Every once in a while, if you feel like your play is stagnating, pick one new thing to learn and try to incorporate. "googling and memorizing combos for specific scenarios" helps but this is something done over a long period of time. e.g. you could take your 1 combo you know and say "Okay, now I'm going to learn a slightly different one for when I think the opponent is going to end up in the corner afterwards", and then "Now I'm going to learn a slightly different one to blow through more resources (cough drive rush cough) when I think it will close out a round", etc.
>play dee jay vs cammy >antiair her divekick 3 times at the start of the match including one with an accidental st.hp when I was trying to throw a fireball >she stops divekicking the entire rest of the set

No it's not
Getting punished for an option doesn't mean you abandon that option. Adapting would be doing it at a different timing that they don't expect
What that person did is get scared
Suspended in Plat 1 territory, which is fine I've only logged 18 hours in it on Steam
Here are my hot takes
Drive Impact in about 3 months time will be a lot more interesting of a mechanic, I can almost immediately spot who is newer to SF by how well they play without it, you can tell they're still adjusting to having such a powerful mechanic available all the time. Skilled players who cut their teeth in 4 tend to overuse drive rush, it's not FADC. I'm running into Masters and Diamonds who blow their meter immediately on what ends up being a protracted blockstring JP is fraud, you know it in your heart to be true
I really enjoy that they brought setplay to the forefront of playing it, starting every match with full meter means it's a psychological battle from the first second, it also gives people a lot more flexibility as to how they play their character; everyone I've run into has their own spin on how they play and it's much, much more interesting already than V ever was. Unless you are JP, then you and I both are well aware of your flowchart, don't lie to me
I want to see if anyone is playing with modern controls 3-4 years down the line, I want to see their shenanigans; I'm expecting some clippable bullshit soon enough
I think Juri is the strongest character in the entire game. No-one has her completely figured out yet but her skill ceiling is heads and shoulders above everyone else in the cast, given time I think there will be some feng shui madness going on in brackets
If the normal throw is active first yes, it'll grab the grappler out of the startup of their grab. Sometimes command grabs will be throw-invincible, particularly EXs. I remember they took that property away from EX SPD late into V's life and everybody complained.
the counter they gave him is still so fricking funny >oh yeah we gave zangief a counter to help him deal with getting outpoked in mid range >but it only works on kicks >specifically, only standing kicks >and only CERTAIN standing kicks that hit at a specific height and angle
Just looking at Zangief's SPD which is just as fast as normal throws, it doesn't have any special defense against normal throws and will lose if they'd land on the same frame. One quirk it does have is that his standing jump frames from the 360 input are throw immune, so he can punish counter normal throws that come out before his SPD activates.
The only reason to play this was the fricked up state of Ranked with touch controls. This game is literally why Modern charge characters still need to hold down/back. You think Honda & Guile are bad in 6? Them and Vega were fricking menaces when this shit was still being played.
>he wasted his time grinding the filler ranks to get to nu-Gold instead of placing their from the start by choosing Veteran when asked his experience level with fighting games and performing well during his placement matches
>go up in ranks >have immensely less fun
this game is so fricking bad
everyone just fricking stands still and mashes jab when you get close or does their epic BEATS EVERY MOVE YOU HAVE AND LE DRIVE RUSH INTO MINUTE LONG LEVEL 3 EVERY ROUND LMAO
this shit is so fricking Black person cancer
I'm dropping this garbage
Look I'm going to admit I don't come to Ganker often but when did you frickers start constantly talking about WEG? There's like a thread every time I come here.
Scrub Zangief here. What should I be doing if my opponent knows they can just jab me out of the knee tick throw? My own jab is often too slow
>meaty setups
forward standing HP
standing MP 3x
standing down down kicks(foot stomp move)
jab them first
SPD light or medium(havy too slow)
get good noob
Mix charge timings of gladius and heavy buttons to throw your opponent off. Don't solely rely on specials in neutral, but show your opponent that you're willing to throw them out. Oki with drive rush. Rush in with drive rush once the opponent starts looking out for specials too much. Make copious usage of st.mp target combo.
i don't feel like starting until i know my character perfectly. i'm starting to get some of the basics down but i still haven't even labbed oki.
i don't get people who jump into ranked right away. if i did that, i would actually have trouble beating low rank players consistently.

Small tourney with that mad Marisa that was beating pros yesterday Unrelated but I trust the opinion of people from these threads more than the ones dedicated to it, how's battlebit
I'm going to be honest, I don't understand the initial question and don't feel like jumping back into training mode to lab stuff for another person. Isn't the entire point of a tick throw that your opponent doesn't have time to jab you out of it? Sounds like you're just depending on bad match knowledge to correct your error.
Marisa is the cutest.

Got any tips for an Iron ryu?
Is Iron the rank below Bronze? Does that actually exist?
If you're Iron and in need of tips then that means you have absolutely 0 fundamentals and specific character tips should be the last of your concerns
Just focus on the most basic of basics like getting your execution consistent, learn your combos, learn to anti air (you don't need to be consistent yet just try to do it), learn to react to DI (same as above consistency comes later)
Think about the buttons you're pressing and why you're pressing them. Every button should have a reason behind it not just to press something for the sake of pressing something
Stop jumping so much I guarantee you jump nonstop because you feel nervous on the ground. Stop that
Anti-air
Counter DI with your own
Just block and let your opponent kill themselves with one of these options
how viable is ryu's fireball game? can I play that style?
Only throw out one fireball at closer ranges until you start to get in the groove and feel you're pressuring your opponent well enough to throw multiple. Jump ins are the number 1 killer for lower ranked Ryus
You can get a little damage in, but no, you can't just zone people out
DSP is Plat 4. Rank means nothing in this game.
sure kid, and DSP is diamond, he can easily rapes at very least 90% of Ganker on 6.
I think that just speaks about how weak Platinum is. Being able to win streak into it without properly building your fundamentals kind of devalues it. I'm hoping Diamond is stronger in general.
This. Platinum is basically SFV gold, it's for people that found one or two gimmicks that are hard to deal with and have little to no deep knowledge of the game mechanics.
Basically the morons that start rounds with Marisa Superman Punch or randomly do Drive Impacts after empty jumps or whiffed buttons
>or randomly do Drive Impacts after empty jumps or whiffed buttons
I'll stop doing it when it stops working.
That's the funny thing, you won't because you don't know anything else. This is how people stay in shit elos forever

Im Gold and I have fought other Gold players a million times better than any Diamond or Platinum player.

>Im Gold and
If you're stuck in gold you have no property to comment on other people's gameplay, just saying.
The only problem with SF6's rank system is the fact that you can skip most of them by selecting that you're a veteran when first queueing for ranked. I literally won 6/10 placements on day one and got sent straight to Diamond
Nah he's right, I've met Plat Giefs with less braincells than a Silver scrub.

I want to learn to play this game properly, and I do not want to stop using Marisa while doing it. I wish to climb out of bronze and into higher ranks. Am I foolish to dream?
No but you picked the wrong character to do so. You will get to high platinum by doing scrubby Marisa shit, then you can start learning the game.
What should I avoid?
You misunderstood me. I am not saying avoid anything. You have to treat different levels of player differently. You're just going to get disrespected at lower ranks so come out of the gate with disrespect gimmicky shit of your own. Once they start to check it then you have to play more conservatively.
You'll have to learn the game regardless of character if you really want to get good and keep climbing ranks.
im not stuck in gold, Ive had the game for like 3 days and can only play 2 hours at a time and realize I should have picked Veteran because I got placed in gold for getting like 7/10 and picking the one below Veteran.
Meanwhile scrubs like you who picked Veteran don't deserve diamond rank, and now I have to fricking grind matches against scrubs in ranked until I can start properly being matchmaked with equal skill level players. Sometimes I run into other Gold players who have the same problem and actually have good matches
I purposefully placed in gold and got to gold 5 in like 2-3 hours. You just suck
I got fricked in my placements and got silver. Went to plat In like an hour because of the win streak bonus. Don't worry, you will be fine
You should be jumping multiple ranks in Gold, or all the way to plat in 2 hours due to win streak bonus. Unless you're going 2-1 in sets, which means that you're exactly at the ranks you're supposed to be.
>Unless you're going 2-1 in sets, which means that you're exactly at the ranks you're supposed to be.
>a 66% winrate means you're at the appropriate rank
Yes, if you're not winstreaking in the win streak ranks then you're in the appropriate ranks and need to settle for the slower climb.
>if you 2-1 everyone you play, you should be climbing slowly
>if you 2-0 4 wifi kens who don't know how to play the game, you deserve to skyrocket up to a different tier entirely even if your overall winrate is barely 50%
You don't seriously think this ranking system is functional, right?
>If you 2-1 you deserve slow climb
>If you 2-0 you deserve shortcut to plat
Correct. Any further questions?
Hilarious that you could double down on such a stupid argument that's both moronic on paper (guy with a 66% winrate doesn't deserve to climb, guy with a 50% winrate does because he went on a lucky winstreak) AND while literally being able to play the game's ranked mode and observe the consequences of a broken system (braindead players spamming knowledge checks and going on lucky win streaks sitting in the 3rd highest rank in the game). All for what, winning a Ganker argument? What a pointless thing to do.
A 2-0 winrate is a 100% winrate, but I'm not the one creating absurb hypotheticals where somehow one player is somehow in the wrong rank but also matched in equal sets, but the other undeserving somehow only gets shitters.
Are you really this stupid? I'm describing a person with a 50% total winrate, or even a slightly negative one, who goes on a lucky winstreak. Below plat, you can literally climb with a negative overall win rate. I'm talking you hit a 4-5 win streak, you need like 10 losses to lose the LP you gained. Do you think that's a rare scenario or something?
Also there's nothing "absurd" about going on lucky winstreaks, it's an online 1v1 game that's incredible volatile. You could get 4 people in a row who are low gold even though you're high gold and farm them. You could get 4 people in a row who are tilted and play poorly. You could get 4 people in a row who don't know how to play against your character and you just knowledge check them (e.g. Honda, Marisa).
Like I said, this isn't a hypothetical thing. You can literally open a gold 1 replay right now and watch a bumbling moron on Honda who doesn't know how to block, then pull up a Jamie in silver 3 who clearly has a better understanding of how fighting games work. I've never seen anyone defend this game's ranking system until this very moment, and yet here you are doing it because you want to double down on a stupid argument on Ganker. Incredible.
You suck lol. My friend who is a tournament player placed gold because he went into ranked without playing the game at all. 3 days later he was diamond.
he's right. Plat is full of people that over-rely on catching you with a driverush dice roll. Yet to find a Platinum player that can anti-air or tech throws

>you can skip most of them by selecting that you're a veteran when first queueing for ranked
This shit is such a mess. Platinum is the new Silver and Diamond is the new Gold because they just gave that shit away in placement matches to make people feel like they're accomplishing more than they really are. Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold are fricking filler tiers now that only exist to inflate the egos of Plat and Dime players so they'll stay subbed to the Battle Pass.
Ranks in this game are a fricking mess. In upper gold you don't know if you'll get someone competent or a complete shitter that got lucky with a win streak. People complained about 90% of the playerbase being below Silver in SFV but at least you were likely to get a match against an equal opponent. Win streaks should be capped at giving 200 points max, and even that is too much.
The game is not even a month old, ranks need time to mature and stabilize. Also, that's the downside of character based rankings, you'll always risk getting some Diamond trying a new character and stomping morons like
You can't winstreak into plat 4 though, winstreaks die as soon as you hit plat 1. At that point you get slightly more points for winning than losing, and I don't think DSP has played enough to climb to plat for with a 50/50 winrate, so he probably has a positive one. DSP isn't an awful player, just a salty b***h who's incapable of adapting. He's definitely better than the normalgays playing SF for the first time (which is like half of this game's playerbase right now).
Well of course you can't winsteak into plat 4, but those that do end up in Plat 1 and 2 make for fine fodder. You still net gain when you win a match then lose the next match. It's an actual grind vs an actual test of skill. I'm interested where the hard cutoff point is.
I'm almost in Plat 4 with Modern Ken and I'm not even playing well, I'm playing like a spastic that spams Dragonlash, Hadoken, autocombos and mashes EX Shoryu out of everything. It's a mess. It feels like Diamond is where the ranks actually start to get serious.
He probably lies on the questionnaire thing at the beginning to inflate his real rank because ive seen him drop to gold over time.

God I wish Marisa would hug me.
Just hit Platinum 2. It feels like there's an immense amount of nonsensical shit I see for the first time in each match from characters I don't play against constantly.
Plat 1 - 2 took me a week. It very much feels like a scrub place considering the bloated ranked system. It’s my first SF and reaching Plat in under 30 hours feels pretty moronic, considering there are only 2 ranks above it. But yeah, opponents feel either extremely bad trying to hold onto their rank or extremely good grinding their way up. See ya at Plat 3 anon.
>only 2 ranks above it
those two ranks require thousands of matches at a 50% winrate
Only because they don’t have the Win-streak bonus. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s 2 ranks. Gotta give it to them tho. It’s a smart move making Plat easy to achieve so more casual players can feel like they achieved something without having to go through the grinding/extensive learning of a fighting game.
But it's not just two ranks
It's 10 sub ranks too
And the lack of winstreak bonus means you need consistency to rank up. It's not a free climb to master if you aren't better than the average player at your rank. Even if you're breaking even at a solid 50% win rate you still need to win hundreds and hundreds of matches while keeping that level of consistency
I’m not denying the grind moron, nor am I taking away from the skill needed to do so. I’m saying that as an outsider playing SF for the first time seeing only 2 ranks above the casual ceiling feels stupid. Learn to read autist.
Hard stuck in gold 5, can't react to DI, my cognitive crumbles when my opponent starts mixing approach, miss my oki often, get counter thrown. I don't have The Gene™.
this is me. you can spam DI all match long and I wont react to it. I dont know wtf is wrong with me. am I moronic bros?
no, usually in fighting games you block attacks and tech throws, DI is the rare occurence where if you dont do anything you can get fricked up alot worse than "taking the throw".
here we go with the "ive been playing since-" but this is the first SF game that makes me feel like a moron for not being able to press 1 button. i can AA, AA super even fairly competently but i see a raw DI and i crouchblock
>not plateauing, actually playing worse than I was the previous days
>lasts for 2 days every time then go right back to improving, ranking up and doing things I couldn't do before
Is it possible to be skill manic-depressive?
Yes
Take 1-2 days off in the middle of skill grinds of any kind every time you hit the wall.
Works all the time. Your brain needs time and sleep to integrate what it's already learned.
This. I've been playing Next Fest demos the past few days so I can start climbing Platinum again fresh this weekend. But many fighters in there, but Resistance 204X is a great premise that feels good enough.
Dashing Smashing troony
i have switched mains every time i deigned to finish my placement matches. not even on purpose. ive been through Marisa, Gief and now im onto Manon. havnt made it past Gold on any because the pleb i am chose Intermediate then got sandbagged when i didnt know my frames
>havnt made it past Gold on any because the pleb i am chose Intermediate then got sandbagged when i didnt know my frames
here's a secret
neither do your opponents in gold rank
honestly might just play ranked exclusively and get over the idea its for me to gain ranks in because every pleb with a rank under Plat that ive played just walks backwards while i stand dead still and the New Challengers are all varying degrees of autopilot monkeys.
i want to get my shit kicked in not clipped with a spare DI because theyre new and its their main tool. i know-
>just react
cant cancel out of a HK poke in neutral like that, i have to learn to play SF6 now and i might aswell learn it from people wh oare good at it
TL;DR i aint learning shit from Cammy walking backwards
I'm
and I feel like even in Plat 1 people spam DI at random. It's significantly less in upper Plat 1 and Plat 2 altogether but you're talking as if Plat is the be all end all.
just speaking from experience. dont want to veer into scrub huffing about "puss plat players just baiting DI" or something but anythings got to be better than people refusing to play the game with me
JP can frick up just as hard as anyone else. i ended this dickheads 19 winstreak and he immediately quit
>played mixed grapplers in 3S, USFIV, V
>only mixed grapplers in this game are Manon and Lily
>hate both of their designs with a fiery passion
>stuck playing Ryu
Frick you Capcom.
Plat 2, don't really feel like grinding, game is boring and it lacks a cool character. The manon and marisa trannies also make me irrationally angry .
I need Makoto.
these fricking webms of gief grabbing green dashers are fricking hilarious
>lacks cool character
>needs Makoto
Holy shit I think I finally found the biggest homosexual in all the SF6 threads
Zangottem
>Drive rush straight for the dick
Why is she like this...
Gosh she has such a pretty smile, bros
She's mentally ill.
can someone post those funny webms where the black guy dashes at the start of the match and theres one where zangief grabs him out of it
no
>MAXIMU-ACK!
thanks
Gief is such a fun character, shame that JP completely kills any reason to play him. Not a fan of the rest of the cast.
no offense dude, but if you pulled that shit on me in a match, you ain't getting your points
Whiff punishing with SPD is BM now?
it is, if ur on modern
A modern gief would whiff punish with CA
>You ain't getting your points for whiff punishing me
Doesn't get much more honest than winning by whiffpunishing. The Ken got simply outskilled
This reads entirely like someone baiting for (You)s, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if it was the guy who originally posted the webm.
Negative comrade
as a Bryan Fury main I support this anons journey
It seems like LowTierGod is on Ganker, after all.
Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. He is basically Ganker incarnate, skin color and all.
nah. LTG is actually really good looking (which is partly why he's easy to meme as his good looks combined with his toxicity creates a type of ironic whiplash comedic effect). average Ganker user is probably average to goofy looking with SOME people on Ganker being better off but not by much.
LTG also has also manage to actually get laid. Ganker is full on WIZARD in most cases due to lack of confidence from lack of trying to look good.
>Doing Ranked placement matches

>WTF YOU CANT DO THAT
>no offense dude, but if you pulled that shit on me in a match, you ain't getting your points
>t.
from me it's him hiding the stream when plays against a JP because it's a fraudulent character, while also playing JP
You know shit about suffering, with tools like DR you can destroy any JP just as well with a bit of patience. Grappler players these days just want coinflips on a button and forgot that by design they were supposed to work to get there cause they got used to hammerfall mash working against bads as Potemkin or something.
>You don't know suffering unless it's a 9-1 matchup
Dog, Gief Vs JP is like a 8-2, that's STII Gief Vs Dhalsim levels of trash
You are mentally moronic if you think any match up in 6 is anywhere close to Super Turbo's Gief vs Dhalsim.
take that back
let go of the past. you dont have to even have to lariat through fireballs anymore
that's the worst part, lariat does nothing now , no meter and parry is better.
Lariat catches roundstart shenanigans and is a decent combo ender. White woman monkey brain and Cocowomen monkey brain. Hooligan combination aint shit and never was
Keep up the good work comrade.
Any spicy tech to share? Got kicked outta Diamond with Gief and Ive been tumbling down to Plat 3 where Im kinda getting my footing again. Learned how to poke-> cancel into grab to deal with the DI spam.
However I still have issues getting close enough to apply Headbutt, Hellstab and gief's ticks & traps. Im being solely being kept afloat by doing walkup SPD in neutral, catching jumps with TK Borsch Dynamite and solid poking.
charged j.dropkick on CH will get you a fullscreen wallbounce you can OD Borscht into, if that isnt the definition of a neutral jump punish i dont know what is.
also try holding parry after anything unsafe, best case scenario is they try to jab you and you can SPD them for pressing too many buttons but you can just as easily get grabbed
I prefer hellstab into lariat after CH charged j.HK cause you dont reset fullscreen after landing it. charged j.HK is unsafe as absolute shit and I have no idea why no one punishes it. I even have to throw it out as an absolute hail mary coin flip as its too slow to actually punish someone on reaction with.
Regarding parry into SPD when tanking jabs. SPD has a 5f startup so unless I do a perfect parry it feels like I cant grab em. Would a normal throw work? I know parry into 2LK->5LP/5LK allows you to set up a SPD/Siberian express tickthrow, but my execution is so shit I drop that one often.
>Mirror Match Gief. Do the applause taunt at round start/close round. Instantly get 6HK'd once they see the opening.
Frick other Gief's.
Atleast em deejays pull em macarenas out and blankas give that complimentary blanka chan.
its less that the SPD is safe enough to do and more that youre gambling theyll try and commit to pressure, like you said, unless its a perfect parry they can basically frick off and do something else while youre sat there or worse yet, continue to press buttons. normal throws seem to work well but at that point if i was going to just throw parrying was a waste.
idk if youre execution is the problem so much as the timing just being naturally off-kilter same as anyones 5LP,5LK in this game. either that or i have fricked up execution aswell and not liking doing it on Manon and Ken either is just me being shit
Wait, diamond isn’t protected either? It’s only the earlier ranks that do that huh?
Seeing as Im surrounded by Giefbro's, ya'll manage to implement the Smegmata Dropkick and Tundra Ankletwister counter into your gameplan or do you just ignore em?
They feel so shitty to use that I only use Tundra to counter DI's. Ive tried using em in neutral or for low crushes but it seems there are better tools for the job.
i have never once even thought about attempting to input ankletwister because fighting games have told me i have a 90% chance of eat a full combo from move-specific-counters because i am shit at reads.
even if im fighting Juri or Ken i aint gonna do it because itll be the one time they go into burn out off the LP or MP Drive Rush starter and kill me
>Smegmata Dropkick
I like to tell myself that I'll use it when they do wakeup dp at the corner but I just get hit by the dp every time.
if you're fighting jury and you notice they're using kicks to fight you at range - ankle twister.
same for the drive impact, its a kick lmao. if they're using it too much in the corner, learn the pattern, and grab ankle. it'll make them scared of you, but realistically it'd be better to punish with your own drive, unless you are near burnout.
kusoge as frick
Looks like it's Looney Troons hours.
Probably gonna get it when the summer sale starts, even if it doesn't get discounted.
Which character should I start with? I played Cammy in 5 but never really went competitive.
read what everyone does and play who sounds like a good idea. if you already "know" Cammy its a good a starting point as any as youll be able to jam the new mechanics inbetween her normals and specials you already know
Cammy is a good starting character
>How is that Ranked climb going Ganker?
I only play world tour and avatar matches

I haven't touched ranked. Still working on World Tour
Got my Cammy, and Zangief to Bronze. Marisa is Silver. Deranked on Iron 5 star Guile, but I learned a couple of things I help will help somewhat.
I wish I could play Gief but I don't wanna switch to a controller just to be able to do his lvl 3 since I play with keyboard. I almost broke my keys trying to get it consistently but it's fricking impossible, you need a joystick or to be a modernhomosexual
https://vocaroo.com/1c7kURYqoMeV
Holy frick. Juri is so fricking hot!!
I'm not touching that game until they balance the game.
Plat 2 Ryu. I hope I can hit Diamond eventually.
>Started with SFV and was a Giefbro
>Was planning to main him once again
>Then I landed my first Marisa command grab
I'm sorry Zangief, SPD is cool but Marisa's command grab just hits different for me.
>just doing some Casuals
>Mirror match Zangief
>Its a back and forth affair with 5 sets in my opponent's favor
>friend request afterwards
why are Zangief's so wholesome? I've never encountered a Zangief that won't give me the full 2/3 sets in ranked
>why are Zangief's so wholesome?
Gief players are just the most chill and laidback ones. Often they're just really into wrestling and just like Zangief because he's big, that's really it.
I must have shit luck then, Zangief players have consistently been my saltiness encounters.
MAXIMUM
Finally out of Gold hell
Congrats, welcome to Gold hell v.2
Plat hell is even worse because there's no winstreaks
You have to actually git gud
no, you don't. Plat is a joke.
>implying you aren't about to get bounced back and forth from Gold 5 to Plat 1 like a tennis ball
Bros how do I do Honda's level 2 super
It's easier on fightstick, you usually have to buffer it with another move or by crouching. Charge a headbutt like normal, then quickly tap forward back forward instead of shooting it off right away.
I play Juri and use modern controls, am I gonna make it?
>modern
It's over..
Why?
Why don't you learn classic controls?
Inputs scare the shit outta me and I play Smash Bros.
Then put effort into learning classic controls. I did, and I'm shit at the game, but I can still do the moves. Only takes like a week at most to get the basics down and then it's just muscle memory.
Pressing right + punch will never be as inherently satisfying as hearing the three clicks on the stick when you do a fireball.
On stick or controller?
Stick. My autism requires microswitches.
>I play Juri
>and use modern controls
It was over before it even began
Elaborate. She seems to be only missing like one move with modern controls. All the most important moves are still there with modern when it comes to Juri.
Nope
At least you earned knowledge
Keep it up guys, i'm not an SF fighter but good luck
does this game have dedicated servers
Peer-to-peer. Dedicated servers would suck for fighting games.
will they ever add ranks above master?
it seems like every fricking streamer is in master already
Yes, just life SFV there's probably be Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster and Warlord.
>release ranking update later down the line so that there actually is a skill division after eveyone has gotten comfortable playing at different ranks and the push higher is basically its own ranked system of competent players only
kind of makes sense
>westaboo fighter 6
Anyone else still suffering from frametrap syndrome coming from Jive
I'm an abare unga bunga player so yeah. The key is to just pump the breaks and not go full offense constantly unless you're someone with cheeky plus frames other players don't know about like Blanka.
i'm hardstuck at the bottom of gold right now
i'm good about blocking, anti-airing, parrying projectiles and dealing with throw pressure
BUT my combos are terrible and i can't ever react to getting DI'd in the corner in time so i eat shit too much to make up the difference
Well if you know what's wrong with your gameplan then fixing it should be easy
Friendly reminder everything up to diamond is inflated and does not matter whatsoever
diamond is inflated
watching masters play sometimes feel like I'm watching silvers
the only rank that's honest is iron as you have to be absolutely new or moronic in order to be an iron
the ranking system is fricked
>watching masters play sometimes feel like I'm watching silvers
I think people who say this forget what actual silvers were like since they haven't been that rank in so long
I'm having trouble sticking with either Manon and Juri. Who do I main, bros?
Between two frauds I prefer to fight the one that doesn't snowball meaning that you should pick manon for easy wins against (Me)
Marissa
if you want to win round2 guaranteed despite fricking up round1 pick Manon, if you want to just win from hard work alone pick Juri
why does this keep happening to Gief?
its what wrassling is about. the techniques are gender neutral, but that doesnt make it any less awkward if you just grab 25lbs of butt out of nowhere
I was super plat in SFV and I'm currently plat 2 in SFVI. Guy I know was ultra plat and now he's plat 1. I don't think it's as inflated as people think, it's mostly just letting people reach the higher ranks faster. When V started it took a while for people to reach higher ranks, this lets people rank up faster between placements and win streaks in lower ranks.
On hold until they fix the horrendous input reading.
people will say it's cope but yeah i feel like it's noticeably more jank than the other fighting games i play
I just want to have my dp come out without forcing a super
>input DQCB
>get a fricking DP
this game literally doesn't work
>do a DHCB
>call it a DQCB
tell me how it makes any fricking sense that the game thinks that's a fricking DP input
I'd like to see how clean your fricking motions are when doing a single move into a super
Yeah it’s like if this game sees any 3 directions+attack and can’t figure out what it is, it just defaults to DP
>I'd like to see how clean your fricking motions are
Frame perfect everytime of course
In a strict game you wouldn't get neither fireball nor DP since you're missing the clean 2 input.
SF has been extremely lax with it so I wouldn't be surprised if people coming from slightly stricter games are getting misinputs out the wazoo.
Also looks like hitbox since skipping 2 is a common issue when learning.
My suggestion would be to try starting the halfcircle from forward rather than down forward. That + have a moment where you're holding all 3 buttons to get the down input in there.
Black person I'm on a stick, I literally did a stand fierce into a level 2 super and it gave me a fricking DP
there is no fricking excuse for that level of input Black persony
I'm spinning the stick in the complete fricking opposite direction
Some games just are like that.
Like for example if they register the 4 cardinal direcitons and you have a 360 move they'll give it to you even if you input a QCF at the end
Same thing happening here
Double HCB especially when done that fast has all the ingredients needed for a DP, that being some forward input followed by down then another forward, it's why 626, 323, 636 work as DP inputs.
I'm just explaining what is very likely happening. Whether you agree with that or not is up to you.
So I'm not the only one with fricked up inputs? I thought my controller was broken.
this
what the FRICK capcom? This shit feels unfricking playable.
Where's Sakura?
She's coming in a year or two I'm sure
Season Pass 2 or 3.
No, she will not be in the same SP as someone else highly requested like Makoto; you must choose one for the year.
Is anyone else struggling to get into 6?
Lots of the time playing I just wish I was back playing V. Idk if its because I'm still adapting to 6 or if I just preferred V. Its an awkward feel though
Drive mechanics are still taking some getting used to, but I think in the end I'll like 6 more.
Only thing I miss from V is the roster, personally I like how returning characters get both their v skills or a better version of their best one, they feel more feature complete. Honda is especially nice now that I don't have to chose between better combo routes or higher combo damage, now I just have both outright.
6 currently haSs one single flavour of everything. Its extremy basic at the moment. No Vega, Menat, Boxer, Sagat- not even Akuma yet.
Its just gonna be a long ass ride until im even half as happy not knowing who to pick. There is ONE character in the game with a non standard direction projectile and i mained Gill so i had to make do with Marisa til i gave up because its not the same
I'm a Vega main, so I'm feeling that right now. Fortunately Honda was my secondary, but it kind of sucks knowing certain playstyles were just straight up deleted.
where the frick is dudley
I hope we start getting cute DLC outfits or mods for Marisa that make her look girly
How old is Marisa exactly? I know Gief is likely in his 50s by now
I'm getting filtered by the bao bao bro fight
JP almost made me break my controller because I was underlevelled.
How did you get past the Bosch fight if JP gave you trouble?
the random "difficulty" spikes in world tour are obnoxiously bad
>have 1/3rd of the boss's hp and deal 1/6th of his damage despite being roughly the same level
alright I guess I'll go frick myself and grind menial tasks
Currently hardstuck on Plat 3. I started on Silver (presumably because I answered Novice before placements as this is my first SF). Playing Lily only, I'll probably drop her the moment they reveal a Final Fight character but for now I'm sticking with her
What other fighting games did you play before this?
I played a lot of SamSho 2019 up until S2, other than that only Smash seriously. I'd like to expand from SF6 eventually and maybe get into older games on Fightcade
>I'll probably drop her the moment they reveal a Final Fight character
based
JP? No rematch
Wireless? No play.
Simple as.
ethernet elitism had its place in the olden days but honestly the sf6 netcode is pretty good, i only run into connection hiccups in like 1 out of 50 matches and they're usually momentary at worst
>wanting a stable game is elitism
hey alright, get dodged.
WiFi is still too unstable and the ingame indicator way too unreliable. I can have 4 bar WiFi matches with a few very minor hiccups, or ones which are on constant 7 frame rollback
Anyone else maining Sim?
No, frick off.
It sounds like someone has Yoga salt PTSD
Me on the left, Flash kicking with no worries about teleport mixup
I’m maining him. He shits on aggressive players so much I love it. Just a shame that I suck at half circle inputs.
I tried for a while but i'm a shitter in general, focusing on WT right now.
Man, frick Juri's drive rush. I won't defend that shit and frick the Black folk that main her. Genuinely gets my blood boiling when I'm matched up with one.
Still a fun game and I'd happily fight another one though.
What character do you play? Check drive rushes with long reaching buttons or fireballs
>Officer's Hat
>No Officer's uniform
>Can't make authoritarian waifu
why is it like this? Also there's no Chinese dress for the player, why even use Chun-li's style then?
Blame George Floyd
with how you can hit confirm massive combos out of multiple jabs, jab into a throw shouldn't be a thing in this game.
What do you mean? you can only jab combo after confirming. Jab is minus here so the throw startup can be reversal'd
never played sf before do i go modern or classic ?
gonna play with a controller
which character
I really don't like how this game has completely taken over my life
There's other games I want to play and shit I need to do but literally all I actually do is play this game, get really fricking mad at and hate this game, get really tired and upset playing this game, and when I'm done with that I watch streams of people playing this game and think about this game and come here to read these threads about people talking about this fricking game
I want to go back to playing fricking Zelda, or any of the other games in my backlog I haven't started or finished, or read threads I've had bookmarked for weeks, or organize the images I've had saved in a disgusting pile for months, or watch anime episodes I've missed because I can't stop being consumed by this fricking moronic game
nobody cares homosexual

>Can't wait to get out of Iron let's see who I'm facing today
>Modern Ken

like I'm not necessarily hating Modern players, but I'd like to filter them out more than filtering players by PC or console. As a new player I'm still learning my inputs, basic combos, and timings. Meanwhile this dude is just throwing out screen to screen combos and applying pressure with the weight of an ape
learn how to block punish
>Have to learn block punishes, framedata, etc
>Modern Ken just knows L2+Square activates neurons
If you throw random shit he's supposed to know how to block punish too
i never tried ranked
i just play with one friend that keeps beating me up
once i start winning against him i will try to play random online people....
Just go online and play against random people, you might learn a few things.
its usually the other way around: beat up randoms until you get good and start stomping your friend
Why is light pinwheel into super so difficult?
You can do the motion sooner than you think
Awkward input you have to do fast
Dunno bruh i never do it. There's almost no reason to as it barely adds anything to your damage. I can't think of a situation where you need to do it where you can't raw super or just heavy fuha into super.
>even the breasts get bruised
I KNEEL
>all the rankgayging itt
Is there anything more embarrassing?
Rank has never and will never be an actual indicator of how good you are at a fighting game.
I literally got made fun of in a previous thread for losing in ranked and then bodying the Black person in a long set in a lobby so hard he quit before it was even over
homosexuals who post here are fricking deranged and have never been to a tournament
bro that's literally all we have. what else are we gonna brag about? our slimer rush combos or our World Tour characters? there's not even much point in rostergayging since we already know every character getting added for at least a year, and because the Season Passes are so small that we're looking at like 12 more returning characters before they retire the game if we're lucky. the other 4 slots probably go to other Newcomers like AKI.
>we're looking at like 12 more returning characters before they retire the game
Lol
Lmao even
>5 Seasons at 4 characters each makes 20 characters
>we already know 4; Akuma, Ed, Rashid, and AKI
>that leaves 4 Passes and 16 slots
>if every Pass includes only one Newcomer, that only leaves 12 slots for returning characters
if you think Capcom are gonna go back to giving you more than 4 characters per Season after 1/3rd of the playerbase happily fork over $50 for the 4 character Ultimate Season Pass you're smoking dust. if you wanna buy 7 or 8 Season Passes at this price point and size to match the rosters of the last two mainline Street Fighter games, you're bugged the frick out.
Sorry, but it's going to be 10 seasons and a free character between each season, and I will be buying every Ultimate Season Pass.
oh hey someone saved my crop
I guess it's a coincidence then that great fighting game players are all master rank? Surely you are master rank as well? Tell me you are at least diamond
sounds like platinum cope
>Strictly play casuals because I'm not a sweaty rankgay
>Stomp everybody from Rookie to Diamond
>End up having a ton of fun
you sound like a guy who can't cope with losing and is a mental midget. at least you had the foresight to figure out ranked is not for you so you don't end up running your head through a wall
>training cutscene with zangief
what a bro holy shit
Anyone maxed every master's style and leveled up to 99 in WT? Is it worth it?
Worth it for what? Avatar battles?
I'm too scared to play online bros
It gets easier bro. I used to get massive anxiety in SF4 but by SF6 I'm usually chilling. Just do casuals everyone sucks in it.
Not that anon but don't you get matched with high ranked people in casual?
No, but then high rank is relative. I have a few characters at platinum and when I queue with those I win almost all my games.

Fricking relax man. We're talking video game characters, not social issues or politics.
Dude that's all it takes to be a woman to actual women. They cake the shit on even when they do not need it, and it makes them feel better. I have told plenty of women they look great without makeup, but it doesn't stop them from pursuing some near-kabuki level of done-up.
> have told plenty of women they look great without makeup, but it doesn't stop them from pursuing some near-kabuki level of done-up.

Is JP canonically stronger than Bison?
No. He's cooler though.
It'd be nice if you could play the arcade games with other people. Maybe I'll go onto fightcade later and play Final Fight.
is the Ultimate edition worth spending my Kangaroo bucks on or what?
No. Just grab the season pass if you're hard set on the next few characters.
No just get the standard, Ultimate offers basically nothing right now
all it comes with is some premium currency and a couple alternate costumes for each DLC character. it's honestly kinda annoying considering SFV gave away costumes with the regular Season Passes instead of relegating it to a Premium tier reward. shit is starting to feel like i'm subscribed to Capcom's Patreon.
Yes, Capcom deserves to be rewarded for making the first good fighting game in a decade
I like to play arcade mode on my Deck while watching random stuff on Youtube and I swear it loses connection to the online servers all the time now. Is it the servers or is my Deck just finnicky?
My Deck does the same if the connection is not absolutely stable.
>get a thumbs up for every match I play
Is fighting Jamie that fun? Maybe its his theme.
I wish one of you guys would fight me in a custom and let me know what I need to improve. I strongly desire improvement.
I'm off work in a little over an hour.
I'm still at work and will be busy until the evening-ish. ~1730 central. CFN is wfrosty. Apologies for being bronze, but I have to start somewhere and I strangely trust people like you. I need to lose some bad habits from playing this game casually as a kid.
Im a scrub too but happy to help practice if you need a sandbag buddy, and dont hate fighting Gief/DeeJay.
Capcom alias is McDashing, hope to get off work in 2-3h but offer stands for anytime
Ken and Cammy should frick. Mel is a failure. Their blonde Aryan genes would make the perfect fighter
>he thinks Ken is blonde
Indeed. Cummy only fricks white men (me, specifically)
Ken is like, 3/4 japanese and dyes his hair.
no
Ryu NEEDS to creampie Chun-Li to create the strongest fighter
TIME IS RUNNING OUT RYU
it's already over... Chunners had to adopt because the eggs...
It would be cool if Li-Fen was actually Ryu and Chuns kid but Ryu is too much of an autistic manchild who only knows how to fight and Chun is too much of a career woman so they just pretend.
whats Rys problem just fricking do it or Sakura the kid would be broken
>beat the shit out of someone in the first match
>realize they were playing on modern
I did not win the fight.
I look like this and do this, but i do sandbag vs noobs pretty often because there's no joy in frame trapping them to death when they can't even reversal with modern.
fricking error 5002 I just want to play the fricking game
Is there any good supplementary (preferably canon) material? I glanced at the Cammy Udon comic and it was ass. The SF6 comic was surprisingly good which set me up for unrealistic expectations for sf6's actual story.
unfortunately Street Fighter hasn't exactly gotten the DMC or RE treatment in terms of storytelling or retroactive improvement.
hit master today.
game is kinda shit.
>SFV with DI
>somehow even more on rails than V
of course it's shit
this homosexual shouldn't get two drinks off an ex palm
He needs 3!
A properly used EX swagger should be followed up with a hard hitting combo. Giving up good damage for an additional drink is a fair trade.
We're really b***hing about Jamie?
am I the only one who gets a boner when Cammy gets hurt
I played Marisa's character guide last night and she seems pretty fun, might switch to her from Jamie
I want to put my penis in Chun Li

are you really this incapable of saucing yourself? it's a webm of Chun-Li with blue eyes.
Chun-Li has brown eyes, so how many results do you think there'd even be under "chun-li" and "blue eyes"??
Saucegays are legitimately the most moronic people on this entire website and I mean that wholeheartedly
You could post an image that's nothing but a list of tags and they'd still be incapable of finding it themselves
>You could post an image that's nothing but a list of tags and they'd still be incapable of finding it themselves
hearty kek
like i get asking for sauce under certain conditions, but that webm would have such a unique set of tags i couldn't imagine struggling to find it
Or you could juat not be a little homosexual and answer the damn question.
no, you can't just have my fish. i'm trying to teach you to fish, so you can feed yourself, dumbass homie.
have you never just searched a character tag + some notable tags (in this case, animated) and gone on a wank adventure to find the grail you seek? There’s not a lot of animated stuff to sift through if you got a character to search with it.
if you haven't seen every single result under "animated + waifu tag", is she really even your waifu? lmao
this is such a wild time to be alive as a fan of animated smut. Blender/SFM and high quality, niche, 2D, smut animation only began to emerge in mass within the last 5-10 years. being alive right now as a fan of this stuff is like having been a fan of music 5-10 years after it was invented. there's still billions of hours of animation that haven't even been conceptualized yet that'll be produced at some point in the next 100 years. it's crazy.

My fricking man
The absolute cringe.
cammy if she real
been playing jamie for a week now and still losing 60% of my matches
i know all his moves, combos, know what is safe, can manage my drinks level fine but im getting annihilated by drive impact and people just blocking everything i do
How are you getting hit by drive impact homie all your moves are fast and multi hitting it's like just hit hp bro
i dive kick for the shins = hit by di
i crouching med kick for the combo = hit by di
jump towards with hard punch = hit by di
i cross up = everything is blocked
i wake up attack = blocked or thrown
and absolutely frick his command grab, when are you supposed to use it because i just get wrecked jumping in with it, trying to grab on wakeup or as a punish
the only thing i can do consistently is his anti air but that only goes so far
it feels like even if i win the first game im getting wrecked in the next two because the player has figured me out
Can you get demoted back to Iron if you lose enough? Just reached Bronze 2 last night.
You're stuck in bronze until you get stuck in silver
I see, thanks.
I don't think there's any deranking until you get to platinum. I started at the bottom of gold and have been firmly entrenched there.
HP and target combos are the only reliable armor breakers, and they both have issues when it comes to optimal combo damage. Bakkai's too slow to start hitting and is an easy punish if they block instead. His light kicks, despite being their own little attack string, are too slow to break armor. And his EX DP is only one hit when blocked, after which he just flops on the ground. Compare that to Ken's DP that just blows up armor.
Sorry that you have to learn to bait out DIs, Jamie players. It really is unfair that you have to mix in cancelable normals like everyone else 🙁
>Jamie's get a free pass for whatever they do
>Jamie's got to make a choice and react like everybody else
Make up your damn mind.
Seethe Jamietroony
Yeah I've had the target combo break the DI a few times, one of the bigger problems im having is actually my own fault though, ive conditioned myself to target combo into drive rush kick that launches, into mid air HK into either arrow or crouch kick for the drink
but as a result my drive guage is just gone half the match, i need to just ditch the flashy combo
>fr*nch Plat Blanka kept spamming blanka balls and jumping like a tard
>gets obliterated and has the gals to ask for a run back
No footsies, no rematch.
Not agreeing to a rematch just makes you look like a b***h.
I couldn't give two fricks about a Blanka scrub's opinion. Can't even practice the match up if the opponent keeps hopping around like a rabbit.
i'm impressed there's still no mod that fixes manon manly features.
the modding community doesn't seem to have jumped into SF6 with both feet the way people might have expected them to.
It's sad. Also it might be just an opinion but i don't see that many people inmersed in modding in general like before.
i think SF6 just has a very small roster and a weird look that's a departure from the series traditional Japanese aesthetic, so it hasn't been a huge hit with the same people who liked SFV. Jive got a lot of mods, especially as more characters came out. people are still making mods for Jive, actually.
>Japanese aesthetic
>Street Fighter Series
I don't think you know what means...anon
examples of Street Fighter artwork from two or more decades ago will not be acceptable as relevant evidence or any sort of argument. Street Fighter looked Japanese from July 8, 2008 until June 2, 2023 and there's no reason it suddenly needed to start aping Western games.
RE engine can only do hyperrealistic stuff, anon. You gotta understand 🙁
Cammy looks better than anything she's ever been in
WEG goblin aesthetic
>Japanese game made by Japanese developers and a Japanese company
>Greasy nerd: it's no longer a Japanese game only I get to decide what is an acceptable Japanese art style time to spend my neetbux on gacha games
Does this sound about right?
>unironically defending 4's artstyle
you didn't play it, zoomer
4 has the best artstyle, at least they were trying to create something instead of developing the most souless shit ever
you can't say that while posting troonyon
>Fights Blankas
>Think he's gonna get a opponent with a PhD
How can someone be this naive
blanka has really disgusting stuff this time around but I only ever find ones that only know how to slide and jump
And what makes you think you'll ever encounter this mythical other kind?
How do you deal with zoning and throw loops?
And do you also do zoning and throw loops?
>zoning
If you have a fireball that can contend you can always have a fireball war, trying to win it with a well timed EX or something
Always parry fireballs or you'll get burnt out. Advance in as you parry and if you can read their timing jump in for a full punish
>throw loops
Either read the throw and tech or backdash if your backdash recovers fast enough and backthrow them into the corner
Alternatively read that they're not going to throw and maybe try to mash your quickest button and stuff their pressure, try EX reversal, you have to learn how to play while cornered
Be completely honest with me: Which character have you fapped to the most?
Since 6 released? Chun
Chun-Li and I suck playing as her
>if only you knew how bad things really are
this and Seth's super where he sucks you in and shoots you out have the most "why am I doing this" faces in SF
I only jerk off to characters originally created for porn.
Without question and its the reason I main her.
i've literally never played a fighting game other than smash and got to gold 4 in about 5-10 hours using jp modern controls
i only know 1 combo and don't know how to do most special things (like drive rush or parry or whatever)
is the only way to get really good just googling and memorizing combos for specific scenarios
World Tour teaches you everything
>modern controls user "knows" 1 combo
o:
Bro, gold is like the worst the rank, it's one step away from lobotomized people playing in iron
>i've literally never played a fighting game other than smash
>fighting game
>smash
tbh what's funny is smash is like 1000x harder than this game
neutral in this game is so easy i can still win games doing my 5% combo just because I win neutral 10x as much as my opponent. my issue is running into people who do 50%+ every combo since i just cannot output enough damage to even it out
You're crushing scrubs by using the best zoner in the game, your opinion is irrelevant until you reach diamond, smashie.
>is the only way to get really good just googling and memorizing combos for specific scenarios
Every once in a while, if you feel like your play is stagnating, pick one new thing to learn and try to incorporate. "googling and memorizing combos for specific scenarios" helps but this is something done over a long period of time. e.g. you could take your 1 combo you know and say "Okay, now I'm going to learn a slightly different one for when I think the opponent is going to end up in the corner afterwards", and then "Now I'm going to learn a slightly different one to blow through more resources (cough drive rush cough) when I think it will close out a round", etc.
I think EX Jus Cool should have antiair iframes
>play dee jay vs cammy
>antiair her divekick 3 times at the start of the match including one with an accidental st.hp when I was trying to throw a fireball
>she stops divekicking the entire rest of the set
bro took actual mental damage
That's called adapting. Good for them
No it's not
Getting punished for an option doesn't mean you abandon that option. Adapting would be doing it at a different timing that they don't expect
What that person did is get scared
it’s not mental damage, mental damage would be forfeiting
>Can't do the shitty Marisa Cancel into LVL 1 Super combo
Frick me. Dpad sucks dick.
does zangief has any move that go under/over fireball?
or do I have to play the mechanic with DI and shet?
You just gotta parry and work your way in
Lariat is fireball invuln but don't use it for that you'll get murdered
Is Zangiefs game plan still entirely based around SPD?
ye
Suspended in Plat 1 territory, which is fine I've only logged 18 hours in it on Steam
Here are my hot takes
Drive Impact in about 3 months time will be a lot more interesting of a mechanic, I can almost immediately spot who is newer to SF by how well they play without it, you can tell they're still adjusting to having such a powerful mechanic available all the time. Skilled players who cut their teeth in 4 tend to overuse drive rush, it's not FADC. I'm running into Masters and Diamonds who blow their meter immediately on what ends up being a protracted blockstring
JP is fraud, you know it in your heart to be true
I really enjoy that they brought setplay to the forefront of playing it, starting every match with full meter means it's a psychological battle from the first second, it also gives people a lot more flexibility as to how they play their character; everyone I've run into has their own spin on how they play and it's much, much more interesting already than V ever was. Unless you are JP, then you and I both are well aware of your flowchart, don't lie to me
I want to see if anyone is playing with modern controls 3-4 years down the line, I want to see their shenanigans; I'm expecting some clippable bullshit soon enough
I think Juri is the strongest character in the entire game. No-one has her completely figured out yet but her skill ceiling is heads and shoulders above everyone else in the cast, given time I think there will be some feng shui madness going on in brackets
I'm in diamond 3, I'm winning about as much as I lose so I'm not sure I'll go far from this rank. Would like to hit Master though.
Why would you try and climb ranked? You'll get placed where you belong and float up/down accordingly
>You'll get placed where you belong
good joke anon
is command grab suppose to lose against generic one?
depends on the grab
most command grabs dont have grab invulnerability so it'd just come down to whichever one came out first
Always has
If the normal throw is active first yes, it'll grab the grappler out of the startup of their grab. Sometimes command grabs will be throw-invincible, particularly EXs. I remember they took that property away from EX SPD late into V's life and everybody complained.
what was with zangief in 5
why did capcom have such a huge hateboner for him there, I'm pretty sure he was bottom tier for the entire game's life
He was
And they gave him maybe two actual buffs in this game while leaving the rest of his kit either identical or worse in some cases
the counter they gave him is still so fricking funny
>oh yeah we gave zangief a counter to help him deal with getting outpoked in mid range
>but it only works on kicks
>specifically, only standing kicks
>and only CERTAIN standing kicks that hit at a specific height and angle
Just looking at Zangief's SPD which is just as fast as normal throws, it doesn't have any special defense against normal throws and will lose if they'd land on the same frame. One quirk it does have is that his standing jump frames from the 360 input are throw immune, so he can punish counter normal throws that come out before his SPD activates.
3 wifi warriors denied. there's no better feeling than denying these clowns
based
turn down wifi homosexuals every time
you didn't lose because of lag
you lost because you suck
I didnt lose at all because I don't play morons on wifi
Wifi warriors, have a nice day. NOW.
your gameplay is straight ass btw
can't lose what you don't play Black person, get a cable.
It'd be funny if she could air grab Edmond here
I think she can. You can absolutely air throw Blanka Ball very close to the ground so I would think Headbutt is similar.
That dumb moron shouldn't be jumping but also headbutt shouldn't be an anti air
if headbutt couldnt anti air, honda would be F tier. His anti air options are dogshit. Unless sumo slam was made air invincible at least.
EX is but yeah not meterless. His stHP also has much less vertical hitbox than the animation shows.
>watch honda replays on CFN
>master/diamond replays are indistinguishable from gold replays
no offense dude, but if you pulled that shit on me in a match, you ain't getting your points
>wastes his LV3 on a perfect parry
I just bought this. What am I in for? SF6 was my first sf game btw
Certified kuso
Why? Absolutely no reason to play this version
Why? Its 3d bro. Thats why I want it.
The only reason to play this was the fricked up state of Ranked with touch controls. This game is literally why Modern charge characters still need to hold down/back. You think Honda & Guile are bad in 6? Them and Vega were fricking menaces when this shit was still being played.
Embrace your new God.
But I wanna play as my wife, Juri
I don't bother with ranked.
I can only have fun with this game when I snipe streamers because the gameplay itself is so boring.
snipe me
Put a lobby up I need Honda experience
When should you parry?
when you know you're going to get hit, but dont know if its gonna be a high or low, or when its a projectile and you dont want to take chip.
>Tfw went from rookie to diamond
>tfw won't play ranked ever again
>he wasted his time grinding the filler ranks to get to nu-Gold instead of placing their from the start by choosing Veteran when asked his experience level with fighting games and performing well during his placement matches
>filler
how can it be filler when I was a noob too?
yesterday nu-gold was platinum, now its diamond
will you be calling warlord rank nu-gold next week?
Master is nu-bronze
Plat is nu-Silver
>[My Current Rank] is where all the good players are.
People below it are scrubby shitters and people above it are nolife sweaty tryhards.
Plat 1chads rise up!
Crazy how many people lie about their rank in the general just because of how easy it is to hit diamond that people believe them when they say it.
>go up in ranks
>have immensely less fun
this game is so fricking bad
everyone just fricking stands still and mashes jab when you get close or does their epic BEATS EVERY MOVE YOU HAVE AND LE DRIVE RUSH INTO MINUTE LONG LEVEL 3 EVERY ROUND LMAO
this shit is so fricking Black person cancer
I'm dropping this garbage
Sounds like your just bad
>this shit is so fricking Black person cancer
Imagine being dumber then nuggets lol
Keep in mind that most people b***hing about the game's mechanics are GGtrannies and everything starts to make sense.
Keep in mind that most people excited about the game's artstyle jerk off to WEGs unironically and everything starts to make sense.
BRRRRING DA HEAT 😀
Look I'm going to admit I don't come to Ganker often but when did you frickers start constantly talking about WEG? There's like a thread every time I come here.
I don't know or care what a WEG is these morons unironically spend more time cooming than /trash/
I don't think you can air grab Headbutt.
you can definitely air grab headbutt.
wow, airgrab neat
>meaty setups
forward standing HP
standing MP 3x
standing down down kicks(foot stomp move)
jab them first
SPD light or medium(havy too slow)
get good noob
Just got JP to Plat.
Facing Blankas is free points tbh. They don't know what to do if you take your own corner and wait for the ball to punish.
Anyone else completely fall apart in the mirror match?
I don't think I've ever lost a set to another Marisa.
how do i gitgud at marisa
Mix charge timings of gladius and heavy buttons to throw your opponent off. Don't solely rely on specials in neutral, but show your opponent that you're willing to throw them out. Oki with drive rush. Rush in with drive rush once the opponent starts looking out for specials too much. Make copious usage of st.mp target combo.
My favorite matches are against other Marisas
I have an 87% winrate on the Chun mirror
But then again no one plays Chun so the sample size is near nonexistent
i don't feel like starting until i know my character perfectly. i'm starting to get some of the basics down but i still haven't even labbed oki.
i don't get people who jump into ranked right away. if i did that, i would actually have trouble beating low rank players consistently.
https://www.twitch.tv/reversalgg
Small tourney with that mad Marisa that was beating pros yesterday
Unrelated but I trust the opinion of people from these threads more than the ones dedicated to it, how's battlebit
EU homies randomly DI even in tourneys huh
Scrub Zangief here. What should I be doing if my opponent knows they can just jab me out of the knee tick throw? My own jab is often too slow
running bear grab
No one in silver falls for that
Just throw?
A regular throw is the same speed as an SPD no?
SPD is 5 frames startup
I'm going to be honest, I don't understand the initial question and don't feel like jumping back into training mode to lab stuff for another person. Isn't the entire point of a tick throw that your opponent doesn't have time to jab you out of it? Sounds like you're just depending on bad match knowledge to correct your error.
I am for sure, maybe I'm not using the terminology correctly. I'll do some more research on my own
When are they going to fix inputs?
what messages juri sends to you?
>see a move
>get counterhit
>oh shit that's plus better remember that
>get hit by it again
>mash again
