Welp my session today was so bad I don't even want to bother with posting replays. Just tons of basic execution errors and combo drops on top of slow reactions. Maybe I just need to take a break from ranked.

dunno about having a hall effect stick (extremely unlikely you'll find this) but the hori fighting commander is a good 6 face button controller

Anyone know any good pads with a six-button face and hall-effect sticks? I feel more and more like a pad is natural for me, but shoulder buttons for normals is grimy as hell and I'm kind of stuck only doing modern with that.

Also, in good news: A Ken teabagged me so I 2-0'd him back down to gold.

vitrix has a modular controller. you can buy that hall effect stick separately.

Unironically excited to eat a million demon flip mixups. Cool that he gets at least two wall splat scenarios that don't require DI and that teleport command grab (?) looks amazing.

I'm so glad we're finally getting the big balance patch in a few weeks so Manon will hopefully have at least one plus-on-block normal or special to use against the Akuma Army.

So we've had base Ryu, Ryu subsumed by the satsui no hadou, the satsui no hadou becoming embodied independent of Ryu, Ryu embracing nothingness, Akuma, and Akuma fully subsumed to the satsui no hadou.

So clearly what we need is Ryu's nothingness manifest in itself. Just a shoto-shaped fuckin' void.

10 months ago I did my first placements and landed in bronze 1 with Ken. Hadn't really touched him since and got various others to gold and plat.

But just to see if this new leverless is clicking with me, I hopped back in with Ken and took him straight to silver. So that's nice. I doubt I'll ever make him a main or anything close to it, but I'm encouraged that I can do things on this controller I couldn't do with stick.

I hope that Akuma is just perfectly capable of using a phone and it's just Ryu that's out of touch.

John Streets: Sensei I don't know what to do, I'm so terrified. Ever since I began training with you I have these awful nightmares... These unspeakable urges... I want to hurt people. I want to kill them. I woke up in a cold sweat last night only to realize I was outside, choking a homeless man to death. I released my grip and tried to explain but my throat was dry and choked with my shame. What could I have possibly said? He ran off into the night and I fell to the ground and clutched my sides and sobbed so hard that my body couldn't even make the sounds of weeping. Please Sensei, please, what is happening, what do I do? I think I'm going insane. I look and the mirror and I no longer know who I see.

Finally getting back to playing the game a bit since I'm technically playing it at evo this year; low-mid plat is kinda funny. I played versus a Ryu last night that threw two fireballs in our 2 game set, instead opting for drive rush sweep, drive rush throw, the close range hadouken thing and walking himself into the corner repeatedly.

He didn't even anti air or anything, it was super bizarre and I can only assume he was trying to practice playing defensively or something?

No two Ryus are allowed to have the same gameplan. Moreso than any other character, you are playing against the player themselves rather than the archetype. I choose to believe most of the people who make it to Plat/Diamond with Ryu are operating on pure 1992 instinct rather than any strategy wiki, YouTube guide or tournament footage
