Honestly , it’s about effort when it comes to that. People play a lot, but when the sit down to play lunatic ken, do they know when it’s their turn?
Frame data my friend! The only thing stopping you from getting up the ranks.
No, the most bat shit crazy person I played was a Swedish 26000lp Alex called Rotom? Or something.
5 lariet in a row, head stomp, HK , lariet three times. Was intense lol. Check my log, I beat him 2-1 this morning. Crazy matches
Frame data is something I use a lot, but frame data alone isn’t helping me to stop being bad at this!
Far more practise is needed, but people in gold leagues that don’t play like lunatics here are few and far between.
I would have liked to play some games, but I’ve been too busy to play at all these days.

It is not regional. Gold players are Silver players that have some degree of their game plan down - combos, set ups, gimmicks, whatever. But they are still pretty nutty a lot of the time. Half of Gold feels like just having enough mental stamina to keep wading into this sea of loopy folks.

Learning how to beat both the batshit crazy lunatics and the slower, more methodical players (and recognizing which of them you are facing fast enough) is a big deal of getting better though. You need to get experience against both.
Though I will say that beating the lunatics in this game is a LOT harder than most other games I play.

From my European experience I think maybe the golds are even more batty in UK/America.
It’s a Shame, although the decision to make the game like it is will be a bigger factor than previous games. It kinda took a lil skill to be a crazy in previous versions.
Unless you played Hakan…

Keoma is coaching me, so I am slowly improving on this aspect of beating lunatics, but he is still pointing way too many mistakes and stupid things I do on my games.
In time, some of those bad habits will be beaten out of me and I will be less bad at this SFV thing.

I’m not endorsing the lunatics but, whenever you lose to a crazy person, always remember… you lost…

Are backdashes not throw invincible?
They’re airborne so yes technically
Back dashes are throw invincible, but ex air SPD has a strike hitbox…
I just watched an Alex scoop me mid animation lol
They aren’t invincible throughout, they become grounded again toward the end and you can delay command grabs to scoop a backdash. It’s part of Giefs oki wheel

You can also ex air SPD them on the first frames.
Saw Mhike2stronk do that a lot on his stream.
But which attack did Alex do to scoop you Vhozite?
His EX Grab. I was using Juri, saw her do the backflip animation of her backdash then I got taken for a ride lmao.
You got read like a book
