One kinda random thing i wanna say,is that your voice is very good. Its excellent for video production like that.
I feel like for video creators, having a clear and non annoying voice is pretty important.

Let me tell yall niggas something
Always wash your clothes before you wear them after buying. I just wiped the dust off my shirt with a customers new sweatshirt and the other day i sneezed a booger on something else.

I want to do that too, but I need to work on my patience first. The amount of BS I’ve seen in Ranked makes me tired pretty quick.
Honestly, follow Wolfkrone on twitch and listen to him commentating his own matches. He does a really good job of shoqing his approach to the game. Feel how you may about the person, you can learn a lot about from them.

Kage’s poor neutral is a death knell for the character imo. Getting zoned out by juri’s medium kick, or cammy’s pokes. He’s missing ryu/sakura’s st lk to punish opponents too.
The strong points being up close mix ups, which i think people will be able to adapt/react to. Imo not a char we will be seeing a lot in tournament. I dont think we will be seeing different chars in tournaments, except for maybe more zekus and less abigails. S4 changes were too soft. Even sakura’s who had best changes arent really anything gamechanging.

Diamond rank was hard at first for me, but then it gets really easy once you get used to the competition. You can lose a set with a Master rank 2-1 and you still gain almost 100 point for beating him once.
I’m 16k so far, I guess the real thing starts at Super Diamond.

Are any of you guys from the UK also? Might add a few of tkubon I leave tonight for the UK for a week.
The real stuff never starts in mexico. You savages dash everywhere because you dont have runs and jump all the time because you cant short hop.
Mexico is the madlands of SF.
It might be laggy but i would like to play vs you some day, sounds like it may be fun.
Sure I’m on steam as “Zola” and my two gamer tags are total-sagat and Gentlemanfinn. I’ll send another message on here when I can play it’ll probably be a few days from now.

Replying to this, also @PlusFrames
The thing about playing fighting games is that it has way less in common with playing other video games and a lot more in common with other hobbies that involve learning any complex skill. It involves a lot of time and effort, it honestly isn’t often fun in the act, but if it appeals to you it can be deeply rewarding in a way that few other game genres are.
It is very similar to learning to play an instrument: you are teaching yourself to perform more complex things with very specific timing, and the further you go in terms of skill the harder it actually gets, not easier, because you are always pushing forward. Though fighting games are competitive so I guess it is more like you learn to play piano by way of the piano duel in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
One of the reasons I think about it this way is that the same time I started trying to actually learn how to play fighting games is around the same time I started getting back into martial arts. Not saying they have specific parallels, but very broadly they are similar: both involve doing things over and over again until you get them right, failing a lot and getting punched in the face, and always pushing forward, with the tradeoff being that you’ll always have stuff to learn but you rarely get to just sit and enjoy how far you’ve come either.
It sounds cheesy as fuck but that feeling you have of addiction I don’t think is addiction. I think its the drive to apply yourself and get better at something you are interested in. The reason a lot of us keep coming back and throwing ourselves at this or any other fighting game even when it is a slog and you get Thunder Kicked a million times or walk into every cr.MK or whatever it is and just want to uninstall the game and play Knack 2 for some peace and quiet. You keep coming back because the fun isn’t in the game itself necessarily, the fun comes in the pursuit. The broader hobby.
Don’t mean to sound preachy or anything. I thought a lot about PlusFrames’ original post and how I felt about that same thing, highlighted by the concurrent beatings I was receiving. That is what I came up with.
Also pulling this back a bit, Illwill we never did set up lounge time in this game. We should fix that one of these days.

Great post @getthetables and I think you’re dead on.
It is very different from playing a traditional video game and just having fun, and is more like learning a life-long skill.
“The fun isn’t in the act, but in the pursuit…” I like that.

I have used EXACTLY that analogy for years to describe playing fighting games to people.

Credit where it is due, that is me reprocessing and repackaging something I’ve read and come back to a few times. Wanted to dig the quote up:
The fighting game parallel here is that we all try to git gud, but that process never stops. Gachikun won CPT but he isn’t going to just stop playing SFV/fighting games tomorrow because he finally “did it.” I’m sure he is happy about his win but there is probably a part of him that wants to make sure he doesn’t go to losers next time he makes a run like that. Back to the dojo.
Which is why you have Super Diamond+ players in here flogging themselves about the same trials, tribulations, and failures as someone trying to claw their way out of Bronze. We are all on the same journey. It is just a matter of how much our opponent’s are likely to jump or wake up super.

Low key I was finally going to mention playing some games. I ain’t forgot about it honestly been ducking it like a lil bitch since I’ve been in a rough patch. Not sure if you’ll be free tomorrow or Monday but I’ll be on at some point.
I’m not sure how to feel about this being your first choice
I’ve mostly busted the analogy out when explaining why I need to practice for a video game.
Twins a good example of that, flogged himself at plat, flogged himself at Diamond, still flogging himself at Super Diamond.
Don’t. Screw those guys!!!
