The Street Fighter 3poxy Strike: Everybody at home but SF5 doesn't have Netcode

I always play better sober, but considering how fucking stressful 2020 has been, that doesn’t happen much anymore.

Except when we played. I was sober, but then was taken out back and whooped with the garden hose, so i started drinking right after

edit: this isn’t a cry for help …probably

Playing fighting games drunk always sobers me up. After a New Years at a friend’s house we all got shitfaced and at about 6 am we started playing MK9 on the host’s 360, having not playing the game since launch. One by one I kicked all their asses and they went to sleep, while I felt better than when I arrived. I just went home and got some sleep there.

One other night I got super fucking drunk with my closest buddy to thr point my depression hit sky high. I got home at around 4 am and still sad, angry and enabriated I took up some SFV and reached gold that night. Next day, sober, I dropped right to Super Silver.

I stopped drinking at all for almost a year now and my excitement playing fighting games seems proportional to that. When I “relapsed” and started drinking a few beers per night is also the time I took up SFV again… left that behind, left the game too.

Next time I decide to really learn a FG I’ll probably have to start drinking again :joy:

Whether or not I play better with a few beers or not depends on what character type I’m playing.

If I’m playing a more strategic character that needs to be methodical (shotos, Ky, Kazumi, Shaheen, Ukyo, etc) I definitely play better sober because I have to do hard shit like thinking, reacting and processing information. If I play a character with stupid mixups where I can just run people over in two hard reads (Paul, Thunder, Sol, Leo, Seong Mina, etc), I tend to do better after a couple of beers because “fuck this guy i’m just gonna do this and it’s probably gonna hit”

Somehow I’ve started gravitating towards the latter type of characters recently.

I personally like playing stoned, not just FGs, any game, it makes it more fun and I stop caring too much about results and enjoy the game, even SFV!

Loved drunken raiding in Lotro.
My co-tank was even better, he was drunk and his character was drunk too.

Cause, at least for the lizard brain that we all have, those characters are more

Thinking is fun. Problem solving is fun… most of the time.

You know what’s always fun?

I just wish I had someone to learn Tekken with.

I’d play with you, but you’re on the other side of the planet. With Tekken “being 3” I don’t think we would be able to get a serviceable connection.

This game man…it’s like any screenshot can be a wallpaper.Quite a lot of fun so far,it’s insane how much detail Rockstar puts in games.

Tokido vs Dogura…in Tekken 7

I can’t wait to watch this, I got Tokido easy.

Or delay hopkicking people in the face on stream at two separate occasions, while the audience gets hype AF

I highly doubt I’d even think of doing those if I hadn’t been slightly inebriated there.

Is there a way to turn off the mini map? Your screenshots are amazing but that UI element is photobombing you.

Strike First
Strike Hard
No Mercy

There is. Photo mode, i am just lazy.

RDR2 chapter 6 is my favorite story sequence in any game, assuming you play high honor. Meanwhile what I’ve heard of TLoU2 has me riddled with indecision whether I even want to play it.

Haven’t played the first Last of Us or Red Dead 1 as i do not own a console but i have watched playthrough of both.

RD1 was great, Last of Us 1 also fine,i haven’t followed the leaks of Last of Us 2 but seems that the interwebz is really pissed off at it.

RD2 though is quite an achievement so far as far as gaming standards,at least imo. Really curious how GTA 6 will be when Rockstar finally stops milking GTA V.

Tlou2 is a game with pros and cons.

Pros: Ellie can swim now.
Cons: Everything else. :upside_down_face:
