Same here more or less, I am almost always between 3000 and 4000 because I use ranked/online as a way to have fun and troll people with a bunch of different characters lol
i play ranked 99% of the time. If I only have an hour for matches, I want as many matches as possible and don’t want to spend time watching other people play. I will do fight request from Arcade mode so I can practice link combos in between matches. I also guess I love ranking up characters, I have Cammy, Juri, Ken, and Cody all B-ranked. Every other character is C ranked. All were fun except Dhalsim. If you want to hate life play some sim.
if you actually play against a good Dhalism you’ll really hate life
The ideal Sim match makes both players hate their lives.
I usually like to fight Dhalsim. The characters I play kinda help tho…
I honestly just hold forward vs most sims. Walk face first into a few limbs, reach them, kd and win. Amused every time it works.
How often do you fight against Dhalsim anyway? He’s another character that completely disappeared online. In Vanilla and Super there was a lot of good Sims, but now they prolly have dropped him.
Often enough.
In the 6 months or so I’ve been playing, I’d say I’ve had matches against maybe 15 dhalsims. Maybe a few more. He’s about as rare as Blanka, far as I see.
>rare
>Blanka
What universe do you live in? Blanka is fucking everywhere online.
Not on ranked PC. Half the matches I’ve seen Blanka in were the ones I played getting him up to C rank. Maybe nobody playing Blanka joins my lobbies, though, who knows?
PC is a different universe, i’ve played on PC for a week and I rarely saw Blanka. On PSN it’s totally different, when you face a Blanka online you know that he is high ranked, the number of high ranked Blankas on PSN is mind-boggling.
saw plenty of blanka on PC, 3-4 very high ranked ( online pc is very samll you fight the same peoples very often ) but man nothing compared to Makoto, they are everywhere
Yeah what’s up with that? I’ve been running into more makotos lately, the frequency is almost as much as ryu. I guess everyone wants to become the next haitani or something.
I rarely see em, but I’ve definitely seen more as the year has gone on. Oni, too, is getting played more.
Yeah it’s mostly been these last few weeks, I run into to them at least once every session. Obviously not all are on the same level, but before I almost never ran into them. And yeah a lot more oni too
On PC, Oni and EvilRyu seems to be the big hot thing at the moment. A few weeks ago it was Yuri and Dudley, I don’t know why. And the Ryu army is as strong as ever, you have to fight 5 or more Ryus in a row sometimes but Ken…seems to be not so beloved anymore.

it gets really sweet when you start winning 15-20 in a row on a regular basis and then lose it all to some laggy blanka or a honda doing headbutts and buttslams
all it takes is like 2 or 3 landmines to wipe out like a weeks worth of gains.
usually the guy with 2000pp and like over 10kbp. that combo screams gimmicks and lag to me

played 2 this morning at 6am lol… one was xykrom he’s pretty good rank 5 i think.
havent played too many Abel’s lately. havent played a good one in a loooong ass time. loads of Oni’s, a few weeks ago was swimming with makotos as well. i always seem to get ryu sagat balrog though more than anyone else
PC
50% Ryu
25% Ken
25% others
Among the others. Mostly Seths, Akumas, Sagats, and Dudleys from my experience. Sim is a very rare treat.
I get a lot of dudleys too. been playing against smug a lot the past few days. playing against him + native has been a really cool thing about playing ranked. some other “famous” dudes as well. started at the bottom now we here.
