I gave up on ranked matches today. 11 matches. 3 losses, 2 wins, 6 disconnects when I was about to win or right after I had won.

What's the loving point, man?

It's old tech they've implemented before, so it's safe to assume they're at least aware it's a thing.

I've quit three games so far. Two because I let myself get angry, 1 because it was against a guy who had previous DC'd when I won. Out of probably 200.

I'm having some difficulty with R.Mika, specifically some of her options when she gets in. I'm having difficulty reacting in time when I block or get hit by a cr.lp, and then eat a command throw right after.

Any suggestions?

I think Zangief and R Mika are the most heroic characters because they just have wrestling training and they still go out there to fight people who can throw fireballs.

Is there a looping gif of Gief's vacuum yet?

Zangief can turn his skin into iron and absorb fireballs with his face. He is terrifying.

R. Mika I buy though.

I can't break 3000lp and it is driving me crazy. Four times today I was around 2,9XX.

Is there a list of all invincible moves anywhere, and how long invis frames last?

I just made some top 200 guy quit out of a casual match after perfecting him in the final round. When you aren't even top 1k, feels good man.

Just watching snake eyez, I'm fairly certain daigo is going to obliterate him if they meet at evo. Li Joe and Art both look stronger at the moment too.

That I can confirm. It was the weirdest waste of time and I don't understand why they've done it like that. Looks like I'll have to train for a good while and try to figure out what in gods name you guys are on about with regards to moves because these terms are pretty much alien to me but it's not like I don't have the time. My disability kinda prevents me from playing more than about 15 minutes at a time so I guess I'd better make the most of each session by training like mad with a dummy. A dummy that can and does kick my rear end. I've just realised I'm coming off as an angry dick, I'm just bad at the game and I didn't mean to come across like that. You guys seem pretty cool trying to help people get better so I'm sorry for coming across like a raving lunatic.

Try using Birdie. He has strong pokes. Throws don't deal that much damage so focus on blocking and attacking more than teching.

Stop jumping all the time (assumption). Stop using cr.hk over and over. Learn what every button you have does, even if you don't use it.

Also post a video or two. Review your matches. Does every opponent jump at you after you do X? Now you know a tendency that your play style is creating in your opponents and you can exploit it.

When you counter with a jab, can you do another jab then link a lp/lk version of one of your specials? Try it with the characters you use and find out.

How many different patterns do you have? Are you mixing up jumpins, throws, overheads, lows, jump in lows, crossups, armor moves, and general spacing?

Do you know what ranges you threaten? Do you know what ranges you're weak at? Do you try to AA crossups and eat huge damage all the time?

Don't rely on the animation to tell you when you can hit a button. Test in training mode and read frame data.

It's really hard to say what your problem is without seeing you play. If you perfect very basic combos though and don't just face roll, you should at least win sometimes. Hell, if you pick ken and uppercut 100% of the time, you will still win more than 0 matches.

Yeah. It feels to me (although I have no idea if it's true) like at some point he had it, but that at the same time his spd did way more damage. Then during play testing they removed the palm, but then also at some point lowered the damage. It just really feels like either there should be more payoff for managing to get in, or a way to get in. Not neither.

He seems really hard to balance. V-Trigger links off almost everything and you can ex air spd after for around 400 damage. His H.SPD still does about 1/4th of most character's life. He has possibly the best ult in the game.

If he has an easier way to get in, he could quickly become a very oppressive character. It'd be cool if absorbing a fireball with his F.HP increased his walk speed for a short time, or something like that.

I don't like charge characters because I always gently caress up charge timing and there's nothing more frustrating than dropping a combo because you were just a little too quick moving out of your charge motion. :(

Overall it feels like the length you have to hold charges for are way down in this game compared to Ultra.

Anyone else entering Dreamhack next month? I'll be there.

I'm sorry everyone. I didn't mean to call critical arts ults. Let's heal and move past this.

In street fighter related news, I made Kreymore rage quit so that was nice.

So it's mostly an avoidance game. I wasn't having much luck with anti-airs but probably slow execution on my part.

Go into training mode and practice shoryu on a jumping zangief dummy. If you can't anti air with shoryu you should seriously consider a different character with a strong one button anti air, like Birdie.

After doing a jump in on gief, are you mixing up or doing the same thing over and over? Try neutral jump or throw if he blocks. Keep him guessing.


The biggest reason new players lose to average or below average players Is predictability.

Yeah, fine. Fine is just a polite way of saying bland.

I'll give it to you that Birdie and FANG look pretty cool but the models have some serious clipping issues. The others are either just okay or have looked cooler in past games. Cammy doesn't even have her camo, that's the entire reason she's named Cammy goddammit.

When I try to grab with birdie and my fat dumb hand passes entirely through the opponent's face without connecting it makes me upset.

I hung on until I saw the S4 patch notes, but I just can't anymore. I'm out.

Better luck in SFVI, Capcom.
