I found a “break the scooters” minigame that is good for grinding gift money, but it won’t let me turn up the difficulty from Easy. How do I make it let me turn it up?

Can anyone recommend some simple, basic punishes as Blanka? I'm not looking for anything complicated, I am somehow struggling to string together a few decent hits. Right now I'm defaulting to throw just because I know I can do it and it's okay damage.

ive been having a lot fun with manon but id like to branch out to a second character. i have a lot of trouble with charge moves so id like to work on that. are there any suggestions?

i was looking at learning blanka, would that be a big change of pace from manon while being something a guy who still is working on basic inputs can pick up without getting too frustrated?

Got to silver tonight on a 7 win streak. Feeling great.

But I'm stopping there for now because I have psyched myself out. Do ranked streaks persist if you lose in other modes? I think I noticed they did not earlier which makes hiding in casual until I hit a hot streak not a possibility. They're pretty forgiving by not bumping you down ranks until diamond anyway.

There's something I don't understand about input buffering (that might not even be the correct term).

Sometimes when I am blocking a combo string, I can start off holding back (to block) then release back *during the combo string* and tap an attack. My character will continue blocking then when the string is finished throw out an attack.

But sometimes when I try this my character just gets hit as soon as I stop holding back. Or at least it feels like it.

Why does my character continue to block sometimes and immediately get hit other times?



I will note that I am not good at fighting games so I may gravely misunderstand what's happening. The framing I used above may be totally wrong, in which case please correct me.

If there's a gap between two enemy attacks then you will get hit if you release block but if the enemy attacks have no gap in between them where you can act then you'll keep blocking automatically.

Don't rely on that unless you know what you're doing.

I been playin him nonstop and have officially given up on all other characters. he's too drat fun. It's funny because he wasn't even on my list of characters I was considering until trying him on a whim during the open beta.

Still not great, but i'm improving. The important part is he's the character who's so fun I laugh even while getting my rear end kicked.

Sorry if this question came up I am so beyond on posts: Does completing all the character guides unlock a title, and if not how many do you need to do to unlock the last one? I’m guessing they’re leaving room for more “X Dan” when more characters come out.

They really kneecapped Jamie's style for world tour. Because you can't select two moves with matching motion inputs you have to choose between his rekkas and his breakdance he unlocks at lv2. Oh also his gourd swig isn't one of his unique attacks so you can't drink unless it's at the end of specific normal chains or special moves.

Probably gonna go back to Lily at least she starts feeling better after unlocking condor spire.

On the screen with the titles you can show locked titles and preview their unlock requirements.

My most annoying example of that is Dhalsim's teleport. Teleporting backwards and forwards is two separate abilities so if you want both it takes two slots.

Don't rely on that unless you know what you're doing.

How do I know when to stop blocking and attack then? I can see the following possibilities:

1) Wait until I visually see that the enemy has stopped attacking
2) Memorize common combos and stop blocking when I know they're finishing

Is that right? Should I be doing something else?

The issue with #1 is it's slow. When I block like this I get thrown a lot. #2 is a knowledge thing so for me, a scrub, it's not possible. But I can see how, in theory, it works.

I realize this is a basic question but I cannot overemphasize that I am a dumpster tier scrub :D

Generally it's just a knowledge thing. You can be relatively certain that once your opponent has used a special move that it's now your chance to push buttons. Notably this isn't always true and sometimes a very bad idea, but it's a framework you can use at the start

From there you can build your knowledge up and, when you run into a character who that didn't work on, check the specifics

Had a match with a Ryu that kicked my rear end twice in a row then we got into a custom room and just jammed for a good hour. I started getting matches on him pretty consistently and it became pretty even by the end. It was rad, just two people straight outta dirt league striving to become stronger.

It's a wonderful feeling to actually be able to find people at my level so I can play the game instead of just getting mashed into paste with no recourse repeatedly.

I've been doing HP -> coward crouch -> lift -> med vertical roll, does a lil under 3000

edit: I think you can also do lift -> EX thunder -> med roll there instead? Long story short even if you don't get the rest HP -> cc -> lift will chunk anybody pretty good, isn't tough to execute and juggles. Get that then there's a litany of more or less complicated follow ups to get into over time.

She really is super fun in this game. But resisting the temptation to immediately blow all my resources on my first solid hit is impossible with her. It's just too much fun and too stylish to do fancy combos
