TheManSeries posted:What are Karin's mixup options? I've got my BnB down and have some general theory as how to play her, but I want to keep my pressure up and start opening people up after they block my BnB a few times. I've used throws and walk up throws to help add pressure, but I feel like I'm still lacking. Karin doesn't have any real mix-up options. Her forward+mk is okay, but every other overhead she has is kinda terrible. All the mix-ups in her Rekkas are terrible. Ressenha is terrible to use on someone who might block except for a special set-up off an Orochi crumple. In general, Karin gets her damage from having amazing buttons, playing footsies super super well, frame traps, and capitalizing well off any hit you land. I geuss some basic stuff to realize: cr.MP, st.MP is a frame trap, st.mk at the end of that works well too. After any blocked st.mk, watch your opponent. If you see them move forward or try to stick out a normal, immediately hit st.HK or cr.HK. st.LK is great, and it links to cr.MK on counter-hit, which happens alot more than you realize. Practice leading into a JFL combo from it, or just orochi if you wanna play it safe. You can also use the jabjab reset in the corner if you wanna get tricky. After one JFL in the corner, whiff two jabs. The second jab will strike your opponent, and cause an air reset. If you dash immediately after the strike, you'll end up behind them. It's situational, but it can be useful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD4XSHszGoY It's more useful just to work on the other stuff tho.

I've seen various people say that people "just" need to get used to reacting to Infiltration's dashes and stuff them with a jab. Some back of the envelope math: (dash + throw) - (total input lag + jab + time to visually id dash (x) + reaction time (y)) = 0 Inserting some numbers in there in terms of ms: (282 + 83) - (120 + 50 + x + y) = 0 y = 195 - x So, if you could instantly visually id* a dash you would have 195s to react and get your jab out .. at the same time as the throw active frames, which actually isn't good enough. So you really have 178.6ms minus whatever time it takes to visually id a dash from another neutral input. I don't know how long it takes to visually distinguish a dash from a boom or a jump in or a shimmy or poke or whatever. It seems unlikely that the answer is anything less than 1f though  . One thing that I think is interesting is last night on twitter Ricki was saying that she thinks Chun has a "hiccup" in her dash compared to Nash. I think Chun might have a visually front-loaded dash animation compared to Nash, but haven't actually taken a look. Theoretically, if you had a dash that just stood still or looked like walking for 16f and then moved forward for 1f, vs a dash that flashed distinctly on frame 1, the former dash would be much more difficult to react to because you can't distinguish it from other things you might need to react to like a boom, jump in, etc.Anyways, it seems unlikely that you can punish his dash on reaction if your mental stack is loaded up with looking for booms, jump ins, shimmies, whiffs, etc. But maybe I'm missing something *Supposedly our reaction times are worse from visual cues than sound cues

I was talking to a buddy about this the other day, but I think a really important skill that I think doesn't get talked about a lot is emotional control. I played in a local tournament on Saturday and I played really lovely. I didn't get the practice on the 3-day weekend like I thought I would because of various real life things. I lost to a Ryu fair and square, then I went up against a guy who is known for being terrible and we call him the black DSP because that's basically what he is. 9/10 times I can wipe the floor with him and so can everyone else. I was like "man, if I loose to this guy, I'm just gonna commit seppuku." I saw I was up against him and got really cocky thinking it was gonna be a free win. First of all, I didn't do a button check, because it was played on an arcade cab and who seriously changes the buttons on that? Welp, halfway through the match I realize I have 2 roundhouses and no fierce. I'm a little flustered at this point and I don't even call him out when he pauses the game in the next match. He's playing Laura and being random as hell, is doing unsafe poo poo and keeps catching me with her v-skill which I think is butt, and is super unsafe and really easy to punish. Well, I didn't punish it. The guy narrowly beats me because I got worked up and played stupid. I was extremely pissed at myself. I figured since this was a 3 day weekend I could get up to silver as it would be a measily 300 LP, but I wound up dropping 200 to a Ryu who just jumped and comboed afterwards. I managed to DP him most of the time, but not enough and I kept getting caught by his crossups. I was not feeling too great, so I decided to quit before I made things worse. I've more or less discovered the key to doing well in tournament play is to not care if you win or lose. I've managed to hold my own against players much better than me because I just took a deep breath and decided it didn't matter if I lost. The second I become afraid of losing, I have already lost because I get desperate and stop thinking clearly. I do stupid stuff, drop my combos and let people get away with stuff they shouldn't. I think keeping your emotions in check is an extremely important skill, and a really hard one too, because top players choke and get pissed off all the time. Part of the reason why Daigo is so great is he often doesn't care about the outcome of the battle and stays cool under pressure. No poo poo, I literally play better after I've had a drink or two because alcohol relaxes me and it makes me not give a poo poo about anything. I'm like Peter Griffin who becomes a piano master when he's drunk. So basically tl;dr, what I'm saying is that to get good at Street Fighter, you basically need to not give a poo poo and become an alcoholic Swagger Dagger posted:If you like Medieval Madness I'd suggest getting Monster Bash, it's pretty good. Yeah, I'll check it out, thanks!

With the amount of input lag, Nash dash is basically equivalent to 3s Makoto (including distance). You can throw tech on reaction (sometimes) but you're not going punish it on reactions alone. The dash speeds would be manageable with a reasonable amount (even 4f) of input lag.

Satorr posted:Spot-on post in general but this part is so true it's scary. I have a few drinks and I simply cannot get mad anymore. I think it varies from person to person though, as there are different kinds of drunks. Some people are angry drunks. And if you are, don't do this. Me, I just become very sleepy and give no shits about anything. You could gently caress my mother and if I have enough beers in me I'll be like "yeah, whatever." The right balance is key though. You gotta drink enough to calm your nerves, but you also can't drink too much or else you risk becoming super retarded and lose all hand-eye coordination.

Cross-posting here: https://twitter.com/fubarduck/status/714301748953817088 I've also read old interviews where he said he preferred training mode to grinding. I wonder what his training routines look like. How does he practice neutral and defense for example. Obviously it's probably not a coincidence that he knows how to play a lot of characters. He plays a lot online against JP players though, so it's not like he's in the infiltration dojo all alone every day. But he still looks far and away more situationally aware than anyone else I've seen playing, right now e: also poor poongko

betterinsodapop posted:Is general consensus that octagonal restrictor plates are loving dogshit? You're going to have a harder time playing on one. Seriously. DPs and charge characters are much, much easier with a square gate. If you are a charge character, you're going to want to hold down-back a lot and it's a lot harder when you have a slope instead of a corner. And circular gates? Forget about it. You can technically play well with an octagonal if you wanted to, just like there are many great pad players out there (and if you play pad, you'd want a special Sega Saturn style fightpad as standard Playstation controllers are tough to use for fighters), but I'd say all you'd be doing is making things more difficult for no added benefit. And fighting games are already pretty hard, so you don't need to make things harder. You can play on whatever you want and I'm not gonna judge you for it. If it works for you, it works for you. But in my personal experience, octagonal gates just make life harder for no reason.
