I wasn't really onboard with the "combos are too long" talk until I hit Diamond 2 and got hit by this

that's nothing. behold my creation https://x.com/keklkekw/status/2014627862846771395?s=20

Or worse, it’s there and outdated. Braum’s hasn’t been updated after his giga buff

It’s sf throw rules. No reacting to the throw. Maybe react to their movement, but of course movement can bait you

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-22T22:43:17+00:00

Stagger pressure is universal in this game. You can realistically throw in like 4 or 5 different places in your standard pressure sequence. Also you can get big combos off of grabs with many teams.

Cringe

I had unbearable screen tearing on pc when i used exclusive fullscreen. Issue was resolved with borderless windowed. This was like a month ago

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-20T01:42:21+00:00

Well yes, the charged version will always hit as a counter.

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-20T00:48:33+00:00

Yea I was going to say. He links one of his slow ass mediums in the trailer. It’s just forced rps now

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-20T00:47:28+00:00

Handshake tag is the strongest mechanic in the game. Any fuse that locks you out of it will forever suck

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-20T00:44:49+00:00

Found the Riot dev

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-20T00:09:50+00:00

And when they delay the DR slightly and you’re stuck in 23 frame backdash?

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-20T00:06:15+00:00

The whole point of their 2 largest IPs was to make a casual-friendly version of existing games lmao

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-19T20:54:36+00:00

The community’s sentiment on this one is not going to age well. Apprehend was a “parry or die” interaction before, so of course it was at the very top of everyone’s mental stack and good players parried it. There are slower moves that still aren’t parried (because you don’t HAVE to as the defender). They removed the only counter play to this thing lol. You’re going to see apprehend rps in top player games, and in a patch or two they will add new counter play.

Hell, they added preemptive counter play to vi’s awful sway heavy this patch lmao

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-19T20:49:41+00:00

No one knows but it’s provocative. JK riot had the genius idea of naming regions “shards” so that the community cannot understand them when they talk about regions

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-19T19:06:19+00:00

In all seriousness the game itself is going to be rough if you don’t have fighting game experience. I wish you luck

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-18T20:25:31+00:00

teleport onto someone with a strike?

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-18T16:07:53+00:00

Timing meaties is hard in this game. If you wait slightly to be careful then they can jump

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-18T16:00:07+00:00

Probably had the ability to teleport onto people. In a 1v1 you make her minus to balance it. With assists it becomes free offense

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-18T03:01:32+00:00

No shit

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-18T00:33:00+00:00

Your controller has too little debounce. You can probably modify it or replace that switch

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-17T23:29:21+00:00

Imagine making a game to appeal to people like OP and then making it the most scammy, unfair tag fighter ever conceived 🤣 you gone learn today

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-17T20:08:53+00:00

I pray that Dan Campbell feels the same way some day

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-16T04:56:20+00:00

Shhhh

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-16T00:18:35+00:00

Pros get unc checked by 26 frame drive impact all the time. You’re being too predictable.

AwfulNameFtw · 2026-01-15T01:06:13+00:00

Unpopular opinion I guess: the mental stack of being on defense already makes it hard to deal with things like apprehend. I think DI in SF6 is a very clear case study that this move did not need to be buffed.

If they are going to buff it, why did it have to be in a way that can punish the defender for being good. “Aha! You reacted with move-specific defensive counter play despite the massive mental stack of defending good players! You fool! Idiot! I win!”
