I watched The Sphere Hunter's review for a more casual perspective on it, and I want this man's shirt.



Suzi's video was pretty nice; she's able to bridge the gap between casual and more experienced FG players and can talk to both sides in a way that not even someone like Max can (Max is very good about talking about FG issues, but at the end he's still very mired in the FGC and is coming from that perspective).

I've also been seeing more streams and videos with casuals playing fighting games: last night I watched a stream of a more experienced FG head helping his other streamer friend (who's new to FGs) learn how to play SF, and I also watched a video of a couple of Youtubers who normally don't play FGs get to play SF6 early. Their enjoyment has been pretty heartening, and I'm excited to see how many people will be putting out SF6 content at launch, even if it's just World Tour mode.

My pc got 100 on the benchmark so I’m ready for Friday. Can’t wait to spend my life savings on battle passes and costumes and cause my wife to leave me.

Nice, nice. Mine got 101 but you should definitely be good to go. Might want to save that money in case you need to upgrade for Tekken 8.

So do we know how the input delay reduction setting is supposed to work? It just seems to disable v-sync (judging by the screen tearing I saw). But I’m not sure how that is supposed to help. The gameplay logic runs at 60hz, so even if you could render the game at 1000fps, input is still only being read and the game is only being updated 60 times a second. I think at best you might get 1 frame (maybe 2) of improvement depending on how the game has synced the gameplay loop and rendering loop together, synced them with the refresh rate of the display(basically V-sync), and how they are handling frame buffering.

I guess to answer my own question it’s probably just disabling V-sync and maybe double buffering instead of triple to try to pickup a couple extra frames. I think screen tearing looks terrible though so I probably won’t use it.

I pre-ordered on Steam last night, mondo pumped. I had a gift card burning a hole in my pocket. I gotta get that extra Chun-Li color, that's always how they get ya.

I don't see a mention of the pre-order bonus thing on the steam page for the game, but I believe in Capcom here. I also wonder how we'll get the classic costumes they showed a while back. Hopefully most costumes you can get through gameplay.

A tech fraudster convinced him to invest in crypto, sports gambling and #content as part of a scheme to set him up as a terrorist fall guy. Chun Li managed to clear his name but he was caught on camera going apeshit against Luke and is now living in shame while trying to restore his image.

Honestly, Ryu doing anything else would be even greater cause for concern than everything going on with Ken.

It doesn't matter if Ken's literally eating out of the garbage, if we saw Ryu in a nice but low-cost button-down shirt instead of a gi we'd be so much more worried

awesome if true. normally you'd have to pay 5 bux for those old costumes so I applaud Capcom for doing sort of the bare minimum. kind of fun to play a game with actual in-game unlocks again.

Welcome to the club, buddy! You're just gonna have to deal with it by identifying specific player tendencies rather than looking for a specific animation or sound

Also my local scene is holding a launch day tournament that starts at 2 PM. I guess they're assuming everyone took the day off work lol

I think auditory reaction time is faster than visual, so it might help to actually practice reacting to the sound rather than any visual effect?

It's definitely something everyone (especially me) is gonna need to practice though. I suspect reacting to drive impact is going to be like anti airs, you've gotta have them to get anywhere competitively. Even if it's not 100% of the time or whatever

If you're not sure what time specifically it is for you, you can always check the official SF6 page on Steam, which has a countdown. Mine says approximately 1 day right now, with maybe an hour and a half extra, so that an exactly midnight release for Malaysia

honestly i just think season passes or equivalent end up being content gates, and fighting games struggle with this a lot in particular where you need to pay more to get back into it

monster hunter somehow doesn't have paid dlc beyond expansion-scale stuff, which sounds better than a drip feed of new paid characters

the custom character system also isn't compelling enough for people to want to pay for microtransactions for them, maybe that was a business model concept that fell through

It really is a pain in the rear end. Several times over the last few years I considered picking up SF5, but was put off by the number of DLC packs and couldn't figure out what I'd have to buy to get the whole package.
