His jab punisher is pretty darn sick.
patch which is supposed to fix the stage issue is up.
thats really good to that backdash list
damn devil jins is low lol
but thats the trade off on lacking a sidestep
lili for instance can sidestep in between leos b,1 2 while other characters cannot
Got to Usurper pretty easily today, but shit stays the same. People quit after 1 or 2 games. 1 deathmatch in 3 days. I think Iāll stay on PC unless I want to grind out the Paul or Law matchups even more, since those are hard to come by on Euro Steam and Iāll stick to player lobbies on PS4.
With all the time Iām wasting in the waiting room though, my Paul wall carry combo gets hella consistent tho, and Iām starting to do big damage when I hit the wall.
Anyone knows if Paulās magic 4 CH into microdash, b+1,2 can be hit-confirmed? Super tight window for the dash, but it consistently hits every body type while his easy confirm (3,2) can whiff on females.
Maybe even somebody who doesnāt play Paul can answer? I think thereās more characters with magic 4ās that require a microdash to convert into a combo.
If the original intention is for the 4 to CH primarily, then yeah it should be doable. You could always save yourself trouble and just adapt the change only for females. With lag in mind, itās probably different, but Iād imagine the workaround is to autopilotāly do the microdash, but since your initial follow-up is "b"1, you can just not confirm the string itself and just block an oncoming attack from the opponent, or b~db fuzzy, etc. Technically, this shouldnāt be such a bad risk in offline/good connections online either.
JDCR is playing the PC version. Not sure if it is the first time, but he is going trough blue ranks now and is funny how he is owning noobs and ranking up real quick
first match i seeā¦ragequit on him XD
Lol yeah JDCR win like 5 straight games to that dude and rage quit when he was going to get demotion lol
Lol he is playing agains a dude with āJDCR I LOVE YOUā nick
I tune in and see a 58 win streak. Dear god.
From Beginner to Destroyer in 4 hours. 66 win streak lol
and the pc season pass is of course not on sale 
@ArtVandelay
Special Present from Harada for you but unfortunately you most likely can not lay hands on it this year
Spoiler

arcade version got some christmas items and a effect and i think 2 hair variants for the girls.
I think itās that time of the year again:
@appo I like mine better. Not getting the season pass. Iāll buy Geese and Noctis separately. Saves me like 8 bucks and a lot of really shitty DLC.
I was hoping they announce cool stuff to go along with the season pass, but yeah offline bowling, low effort customization and nothing else really, doesnāt sound like a good deal to me.
self made is always better.
thats why i wait for a saleā¦i want the complete pack for the sake of having the āfull packageā but i am not willing to pay the price they ask for at this point for the content it has.
still some time till noctis drops so hopefully it will get one at least once.
Nice deathmatch between Knee (Bryan) and Justice (Paul)

There is a moment where Knee has a button malfunction and he takes some time to fix it. Just go to 32:20 to continue watching the deathmatch
Been playing a lot more ranked since the patch.
Got my Hwoarang to Usurper
Shaheen, Kazumi, at Juggernaut
Josie at Warrior but Juggernaut on PC
Had to save this clip of my Devil Jin as this round 3 is the best thing and the reason why I play this game.

Nice comeback dude.
Personally Iāve been sitting on vanquisher, still wondering if I should keep playing ranked, because quite often I curbstomp people around my rank and a bit higher. Then again if Iād meet a bear or any of the other 38 unfamiliar matchups, Iād probably get my ass kicked.
Anyways I played a German mighty ruler Hwoarang player today for like 20 games (really nice of him, mustāve been bored out of his mind) and took 2 out of 20 games. Guy was alternating between Hwo and Leo, and while I could beat his Hwo those two times, his Leo kicked my ass. I think I did well in the mindgame department, but I really need to work on getting familiar with the strings of those characters and which side they track, as well as work on some execution issues I have myself.
Need to get better with sidestepping, as I fuck em up too much. Just recently started sidestepping shit, but often I either jump or crouch when fucking them up, since I often go into sidewalk right away. I dunno exactly when to just step and when to sidewalk. Seems to me that sidewalk is a lot more evasive and I dunno what the purpose of sidestep is yet.
I also got better at coming up with my own strategies by piecing together what Iāve learned about the game systems.
I came up with tons of frame traps and whiff baits from Paulās df+1,b when I learned that heās +3 at the point where he can cancel the backsway. Doing shit like pressuring with backsway+4 from df+1 then just letting the sway rock and going for df+2 when they start jabbing me out of the backsway+4 or sidestepping it.
Learned how to utilize backswing blow as a way to blow up people that press buttons when Iām slightly negative on block, using rolldash to get in on people and lots of other stuff. Also Iām not letting people get away with side rolling or pressing buttons on okizeme anymore and realized that you canāt just rely on homing moves to catch sidesteppers, gotta know what tracks where because his homing moves are all hella risky.
Thereās so much more room to grow though and watching that Knee vs Justice series makes me realize how trash my movement still is and showed me lots of good Paul shit I can use to open people up even though I donāt feel the frame data on his moves lends itself to relentless pressure. I mean that guy doesnāt give a fuck and still does well.
Sidestep left against Leo. Her only good moves for tracking in that direction are either fairly slow (homing moves, qcf+1, f,f+4,3) and can thus be CHed, or theyāre unsafe (d/f2, hopkick, hellsweep), so she needs to commit to beat SSL. If you wanna practice the MU sometime next week Iāll be happy to oblige, I need Paul experience myself.
I believe you SSR against Hwoarang. In fact Iām pretty certain his tracking in that direction sucks pretty badly, though someone with more experience with / against that character could probably confirm or answer that better than me ( @evilj ?)
Hwoarangās weakside depends on his stance. In regular stance heās weak to his right, true.
