Bison’s gonna die but never fear he would be a dream ghost as a unusable character.
Bison returns with Seth body, I hope Urien wouldn’t find out Bison.
For a second I thought I was in the wrong thread smh
no this is still the NRS thread don’t worry

Ooh, this is tricky to answer. The best I can come up with in this regard is that you need to know the following things:
- the character matchup
- what sort of player are you up against
- an understanding of why you want to use a specific option or strategy against a particular player type or character
When a game starts, I have a default gameplan, but I also try to notice exactly what my opponent is doing if they hit me with anything. Let’s say they jab me if I go for a throw attempt after they block a normal. I’ll go for more frame traps here. Do they jump when I’m walking towards them to try to poke? I’ll either walk back so I can AA them or walk under-them and mix them up on landing. etc etc. The key is to ensure that the option I pick actually pays off in the long run, either by easily limiting a said option or giving me a big punish when they use it.
Another thing to note is that certain habits tend to come in the same package. That Ken-player that’s constantly jumping and trying to use tatsus as approach tools will probably mash super on wakeup. The guy who walks himself into a corner can probably be thrown several times in a row once you knock him down.
Out of the three things I mentioned above though, one of them can be learned in the lab. The two others require experience.

What killed Street Fighter was not the quality of SF3 and/or its sequels. It was oversaturation of the market and Capcom still releasing 2D fighters in the era when everyone else was trying to go 3D and in general during the times where 3D games flourished

What league you in? Bronze?
Doing way too much thinking for bronze. Rookie to super gold is just who plays less bad. People aren’t outplaying each other, it’s just who has a better auto pilot while dropping the least combos and giving up the least free damage.
Just have a simple bnb you use for punishes and jump ins. Then just take whatever free damage your opponents give you

It’s not 3d fighters, 3d fighters also didn’t went well that time. Yes with over saturation too, but Tekken 3? SC? No they weren’t any better than there 2D fighters existing that very moment.
Competive PC games and MORPG was on the rise that divide the scene from attentiom of gamers.
It didn’t nearly kill the franchise.
It was just not popular because they did not port the game to home consoles people actually owned.
The Alpha series sold great on playstation, because everyone and their mother had one.
Dreamcast? I don’t think I’ve ever known a dreamcast owner.
I like seeing ChrisG body peeps in Samsho. Every time I’ve seen him he’s in a SamSho grand finals.
Cps3 cabs were also expensive and people with game center would go rather with a3 or another mvc2 than cps3 game.
Trying hard to not buy any of the Xmas battleforce boxes because I don’t have the free time myself.

I brought this up earlier. The pure esports direction isn’t worth it for most fgc games. Worse games and heavy corporate influence so less than 10 guys can be middle class.
Tekken probably has the most benefit but it’s arguable that the game would have just gotten more popular on its own because its just good.

Turns out that those years of hella SRK/FGC people telling the world that fighting games are not a job that they aren’t.
Also that eSports sold everybody on some bullshit like many people said.
Welp, what you gonna do?

How do you all play with your joystick on your lap?
I’m trying so hard but i mess up my execution all the time.
I need to put the stick on a table/desk but I can’t do it for hours because I need to hunch over a little and that’s not good.
Anyone who’s like me or who was like me? Argh.
Soul Calibur 6 Top 8 starting soon.
Also full time FGC doesn’t equal a job, who knew when hella pros in the scene have actual jobs.

I was like that at first. The biggest key for me was a chair at the correct height. With both feet flat on the floor, your thighs should be parallel to the ground. If their sloped down because the chair is too tall the stick is gonna slide off your lap
After that you’re just making sure the stick is heavy enough to not move all over the place while you play

How long did it take you to get used to playing with stick on lap?
Also, do you all lean back all the way on your sofa/chair or kinda seating on the edge?
Are your thighs almost touching each other or spread out? Lol this sounds wrong.
