He rules. Due to the lack of simply accessible training mode I basically got all my drinks from 22P and the kick/punch/punch rekka; didn't really remember the other drink add-ons during matches. But they really made some good ways to do it so it seems like a nice counter to something like Manon's persistent buff. I did match against a Juri who didn't interrupt me when I just chugged 4 drinks at the start of a match. That didn't go so well for them.

Well, open beta was fun! As a new-ish player this game feels really good. Definitely getting in on release. Played Ryu and Kimberly, managed to winstreak my way out of Iron into Bronze on both. Kimberly feels more fun, but I wonder if that's because people in Iron and Bronze can't deal with her basic moves very well - I particularly like the dash low kick that knocks down, but I just know that move can probably be punished on block and no one's really taken advantage of that against me yet. (also shoutout to the forward heavy kick which you can jump cancel into a crossup) Looking forward to trying JP, Marisa, Deejay, Cammy, Ken and Juri as the characters that look most interesting to me. Although I don't know how much time I should spend with each one before deciding which of them to focus on.

Both Jamie and Juri have a resource they can build up without contact with the enemy, so technically they're both characters that do well from backing up and preparing. Four Drink Jamie is STUPIDLY stronger than Two-Feng Shui Juri, but that's presuming equal skill levels.

Again: at the most BASIC level. I get doing mixunder combos for optimizing punish damage. edit: Well, I suppose I should have just kept watching to the end of the video instead of stopping to post when it hitched and failed to load the back half.

Fuha sounds like a word for some sort of fetish so a) it always throws me for a second when I try and remember and b) it's probably on-brand for Juri but yes, 4 drink Jamie is an unholy nightmare and 3 charge Juri is the same as 0-charge Juri if you don't know how to convert them into extra damage or winning neutral

I tried out Modern controls against my friend that never played fighting games before and holy poo poo are they so incredibly awkward to use, and getting wrong normals out is super annoying, and some of the auto-combos just drop for no reason. I don't know how people use Modern controls at all. Although, my friend didn't seem to have any problems and was happy that he was getting occasional wins against me, so I guess it's a matter of preference.

I'm pretty sure most people using modern controls in the beta did it just because it was the default option and they didn't know how (or why) to change it. I don't think I saw a single modern player in my 100 or so ranked matches, and only a few in casuals/battle hub.

I finally got to play my friend last night and didn't realize Modern was set up by default, I destroyed him with Juri doing some sick looking combos just by jamming on random buttons. I imagine once you truly understand the buttons and what they do it's going to be competitive.

It's scratching the same itch for me that KI, Samsho 2019 and VF5 did where, even though I'm garbage at fighting games, it often makes me feel like I made the correct big brain decision when things go right for me. I never quite got to the level of proficiency in another SF game where you start getting that feeling, but SF6's core mechanics make it very accessible

DI is a great equaliser and a brilliant solution for new players who can read an opponent but don’t know what to do about it yet. Feels like the solution to a lot of the classic “<character> is spamming <move> please help” posts is gonna be “have you tried doing drive impact”

Maximillian Dood says that even though DI is and will remain extremely good, we will probably see less of it in high level play because of how readable it is and the risk outweighs the reward. I am not at the point where I can easily counter DI with my own but I think he may be right about that from what I have watched.

https://twitter.com/StreetFighter/status/1660541730557419520 We already knew the beta was the old version compared to the demo of course. But I gotta wonder what quality of life changes they'll be making, outside of just balance adjustments across the cast we've seen so far

They mentioned adding online training mode which is cool, so I suppose that'll probably be a thing? I'm assuming there's an offline training mode you can get to as well or at least man I hope so! Actually speaking of QOL things, I dunno if anyone else was running cabinet rotations in the battle hub with people, but the fact that you get to see the frame data in the spectate mode (and presumably in your replays) is so incredibly cool and such a good idea

There's offline training mode option right there in the fighting ground practice menu, it was just disabled in the beta so people would actually test the online play. It would've been hilarious though if they put in all that effort make a really good training mode, with frame data and all kinds of advanced options, and then only put it in the limited amount of battle hub cabinets.

One improvement that I noticed from the Closed Beta 2 is that the constant announcement "we currently have a player on a winning streak" is gone. The tournament event was totally broken and not working correctly at all, and some specific players seemed to be cursed with not being able to crossplay. But overall, like in CB2, the multiplayer is pretty solid. I just wonder how long it'll take them to fix these 2 things.

Having to look out for jumps (with crossups being strong/anti airs maybe weak) and drive rush *and* drive impact while trying to footsie is rough. That and pressure feeling bad are probably my two least favorite things about the game right now, we'll see how that changes once people figure the game out more.

In all the sets I played against some friends and friends of friends, the only dude I had trouble going even with played Kimberly I think that character is going to be really, really strong for the first month while everyone learns how to deal with her mix ups  Adding the grapplers into the mix plus blanka is going to be pretty interesting! I didn't really bother trying to find an empty hub to properly do some training mode. Going to worry about that when I have the full version of the game and can practice execution stuff/get the drive and parry cancels down without getting interrupted every few minutes

The few qKimberly's I played against had the Ken's beat at nonstop hyper aggression, which I thought was funny. But also a ton of the poo poo they was doing seemed really unsafe and supremely throwable, so I genuinely don't know what to think of her.

Arc Step is one of her core tools, too, but it's defeated by simply holding back since the throw option out of it won't reach if you do that. The throw/kick are also defeated by any anti-air, and the do nothing option leaves you unable to punish those anti-airs. I sorta wish the HK follow-up out of her dash and her b.HK would high profile her cuz it feels silly to do a flip kick that gets bonked by a standing low

I worry about dee jay. When I last gave up on Strive a few months back, it was because nobody loving respects Anji's Fujin. (and frankly, I think I was kind of asking for it by sticking to playing **Anji** or all people) Different game, different pace, different mechanics, but I worry his dandy step will be equally disrespected.

Is anyone else getting stutters with the beta or the demo on PC? I've tried a bunch of things but even on the training stage, I'll get intermittent bad stutters, sometimes disconnected to anything I'm doing in gameplay. I've tried updating my graphics drivers, setting my monitor's frame rate to 60hz, limiting the internal resolution to 1, but nothing's working to completely cure it. I have a good computer with a 3080 and Strive works great, so I'm not sure what's going on.
