Iā€™m enjoying SC6. I think reversal edge is a shit mechanic that did the exact opposite of what it set out to do, but the critical blow mechanic (or whatever itā€™s called) is fantastic. The movementā€™s fine and you can play the game in multiple ways and styles. And Seong Mina is dumb AF and definitely my kind of character. Itā€™s overall really enjoyable.

I donā€™t play it that much but thatā€™s mainly just that itā€™s not the main game in my community. Iā€™m usually down for it when someone asks though.

I have sf5 on steam :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Iā€™d play you for the LULs. I already know how that would go based on my games with @ZioSerpe

Hold on, are you telling me your PC can actually run games?

Sc6 movement speed is pretty amazing. I always forget to talk about it when speaking on the game. But itā€™s really fast pace

The example you give of adding a ā€œG tierā€ for a truly abysmal character itself shows acknowledgement that definitions shift and change with time. It is an example of someone creating a brand new lowest tier because that person feels the existing lowest tier doesnā€™t truly encompass how low tier a particular character is.

The letter grade system for tiers was a choice of convenience, it gave people a fixed length system where the labels already carried vague known meaning. ā€œA-tierā€ implied an inherent measure of quality that ā€œTier 2 (of 5)ā€ didnā€™t carry. The fixed length gave you room to divide a standard (now small) roster into meaningful categories, ending the silliness where one person might divide 12 characters across 10 tiers while another might divide the same 12 characters across 3 tiers.

But the letter system was always going to develop issues as it was applied to more games. Functionally, it maps an arbitrarily chosen (hopefully meaningful) segment of an effectively unbounded scale to a fixed five tier system. Define the tiers strictly and you end up with a system that just doesnā€™t give useful results for some games. Define the tiers loosely and you begin to lose the inherent meanings of the labels. As roster sizes increase, particularly with characters of widely different ability, five tiers may no longer be enough to meaningfully divide the roster. (Which is how weā€™ve ended up with +, -, SS, God, ā€œBrokenā€, and the like.)

On a side note: People canā€™t even fully agree on what the letter grade system really means even within schools.

My pc is pretty stronk!!!

Reason why I get all fighting games on the PS4 pro is because of the monthly fighting game gatherings at my house.

Good games, good food and booze with my friends.

Iā€™m not sure how much time Iā€™ll have for games for the next few weeks/months.

I am 1 of 3 project managers for a big company and I was already struggling keeping up with my workload and just found out that one of my colleagues is no longer with the company, so this 50% workload is going to crush me.

Iā€™ll play 3S/ST with you guys for fun and will dabble with MVC to lab fun combos when I have time, but learning a new game (or taking an existing one seriously) is probably out of the question right now
