SFV lounge: London we have a Problem X. SFV gave us the Burger King again

Well, if playing low tier makes one casual then I guess Kichipa is definitely a casual player and so is Itabashi in the rare instances he plays Zangief.
Maybe same could be said for Nemo now that he is playing G. :thinking:

That is quite a strange mentality to have.

Anyway, I will keep being a casual scrub then. Back to practising my Falke. I have stayed out of ranked for too long, so Monday is my deadline to do that.
I better make the most of this weekend to get good with miss Pew Pew with a 6 pack and polkadotless yellow bikini!

You know how Akuma’s V-Skill can be a “parry”, a launcher and a juggle tool? Balrog’s V-Skill can be used as a feint, a fireball evade, a mixup, a combo extender, a movement tool etc.?

Let’s take Nash’s V-Skill and make it special cancellable. Just let it rock. Let Alex cancel normals into V-Skill, see what creative shit he can do with that. St.hk xx V-Skill, whiff punish the attempted counterpoke with crush-counter sweep?

Let’s take Fang’s V-Skill and let him cancel the recovery into any special. So fucking what. Let him.

Can we please do more with the shittier V-Skills.

How are you playing sf6?

the problem with this logic is that playing a low tier character can sometimes lead to more success than playing a technically stronger character would. remember how bad fchamp’s nash was S1 compared to his dhalsim? or how xian was able to do work with FANG both due to matchup unfamiliarity and the character fitting him like a glove?

I guess FAB is a casual for playing potemkin even though he’s one of the best GG players?

So you’re saying I should go back to Ed :thinking:

Did Xian go back to Fang?

Just play juri, menat, falke and abigail.

A least let the graduate controll the jump distance. I wanna spike people so bad as i’m not spiking a ball any time soon due to shoulder isues.
Also I wanna more carracters to get big punishes on throw whiffs. May be that’ll teach me to sit still.

Back to the good stuff. I’m official pltat fraud now. No huge swings for half a week feels good.
AAing Akuma gets me mad. c.HP is not an option cause he can make it wiff. I try to go for a LPDP because even trades feel good and then i can’t judge the distance and the shit still wiffs a lot. And in VT2 it gest worse since DP goes farther.
Gotta rewatch the vid @amrraed posted above. I know my reach is not near Chun’s but still. At least “block and eat the throw” might sink in.

Why did they decrease recovery frames on throws again? Tobe more honest?

Akuma jumping at Sakura is a mixup. Unless I know for sure I just block.

I do get air grabs now on demon flips or dash under and punish obvious jump fireballs, so that’s a plus.

Nah. LPDP should cover all his shit at the right distances. Worst case scenario you trade with a fireball and the trade i good. Even losing to the FB is better then eating a combo for a bad AA.

SC3 is hype kusoge trash of the best caliber.

Gotta have a love for nonsensical shit to appreciate it tbh. Game is so buggy that a friend of mine was juggling somebody and in the middle of getting hit, that person did a guard impact and reset to standing. Only the best soulcaliber lets you do that.

:joy::joy::joy:

I’ve been hesitant using Sakura’s dp for AA. SFAT doesn’t say her dp has any invincibility other than the EX one.

You get a lot of success using it?

If my reaction is right and in don’t fuck up my execution i’m pretty successfull with it. It’s 4f and has a good hitbox. It goes up almost like c.HP but faster and higher so you should not worry about acting too fast.
Add: The distance is the key!

Im honestly surprised that more V-skills arent cancelable from normals. But there’s a lot of hilariously bad ones so not much point in doing that.

Although thats probably due to the mission statement of the game. There are certain complexities you could add to the game which would go against what they set out to do with it. Catch side of that is fhat there are a lot of other things which they could improve, which would also benefit beginners, that they dont bother with.

Kind of frustrating at times tbh.

I’m still surprised you’re using tiwtter.

It’s where all the cool kids are

Only DJ manages to be a cool kid without it

DJ’s too honest for tiwtter.

He wouldn’t be if he didn’t start using Falke
