I am in America too, but in the south part of it!
Still, I can no longer claim the throne of being the worst of SRK.
Realistically, I am currently one of the top 10 best SFV female players in Brazil, potentially top 3. Which is daunting, sad and wrong, because it shows the level of the female players here are low.
So I have to uphold to that, accept that I am half decent at least and work towards being the best of the lot in this game to pave the path for the future generations of female SF players in this country.
It is my duty to be the shoulders the new generation will stand over to see and reach farther than I ever could.
So no longer “I am terrible at this” Bea. From now on the focus is only on getting better and better.
We can try playing sometime! Worst thing that can happen is we give up do to the connection.
My internet is pretty strong, and I have some solid connections with people a long way away.
If we have an American scrub off, I will use Kolin. If I’m going to win that waste basket, I will do it honestly.
Note: when I get home from work today, I will try and set up my PS4 to stream. We can maybe stream to that SRK twitch if we ever get a big casual room going again. That way we don’t clog up the forum, and other people can laugh at (help?) us too.
It’s worth noticing that when I challanged Twin in a FT10 I learned photoshops basics and did a title card for the match.
I do not feel treated like the princess I fancy myself to be.
There was only one game I lost via drop. The first time I played @Akhos with Alex I dropped my V-Trigger cancel of all things which I could have canceled into Sledgehammer, EX Back Drop for the kill. That said Ahkos beat us like to 50 to 8. With I think all but one of those loses not coming on his sub characters. He’s a fraudulent scrub. Meanwhile I’m catching hands in the corner like Akhos was the LAPD and I was Rodney King.
@DevilJin_01 gon give it to ya
Talking shit about kunoichi!?
Jin gon deliver to ya
Combo into V-Trigger 2, it’s real
You can’t stop that giant shuriken of steel
I’m okay with how stun works in this game. At least with the stun bar it is clear and like Highland said it adds an interesting psychological dynamic.
Where it does get painful is when you’re in squash matches like yesterday. It can make it extra hard to learn because the rounds can become a lot of exchange -> corner -> stun -> dead. There are lessons to take away from that but it can get frustrating when you feel like you get so few chances to try an idea.
Practically all FGs have that kind of squash so it doesn’t really bother me, just gets kinda frustrating during the learning process.
Speaking of that, while waiting for the matches to cycle through I was checking in the discord and saw an exchange between Twin and Pookie that hit the nail on the head with how I feel in the Akhos fights. Trying to toe the line between being patient and too passive, active but not over aggressive, and for me not fucking things up mechanically (that is gonna be a ways off).
When that gulf is there you really feel it, and it is interesting because it is a meta concept rather than something purely mechanical so it is a helluva process trying to figure it out. It is really satisfying when one of the tumblers clicks into place even if it does take a lot of corner dizzies to get here.
Also I’m still not sure about a char. I know for sure I want a character that has good-to-great neutral. I like that aspect of SF and I always find myself irritated playing a char that trades that for something else. One of the reasons I keep circling around Kolin as an option.
I also like how G has safe specials that you can use to kind of peck at the other player. Sometimes I think I’d like a Ryu (eeeeeh) or a Guile but its not so much zoning as being able to chip as part of pressure. Grey health does sort of do that anyways in this game so I guess that isn’t a big deal.
I’m probably overthinking it but this is also hobby thinking which is fun in its own way.
Akhos is a rotational NBA player complaining about getting bopped Lebron, KD, and James Harden. You still in the NBA. The rest us are just trying to get a pick up game at the gym.
I actually have an unusually difficult time against @Akhos specifically. I do better against the other good players. It’s a puzzle I haven’t solved yet.
Depends on how the lounge is setup. If you are playing FT2 or more, it only gives you a win if you take the set. If you play FT1 then each win is counted. If you reform the lounge, then the wins and losses are reset.
