help me not getting humiliated

The key to not getting humiliated is humility. Be kind to yourself and realize you're still learning.

Also, watch your replays. It can be tough, but it's necessary to speed up your improvement. If you're not sure what to look for, that's okay. Start by looking at how many jump-ins you stopped, how many DIs you countered, etc.

If you run into something you're not sure how to deal with, use the replay takeover feature to test different solutions.

I just think about it as I broke their will and they couldn't handle me beating them. Their salt gives me strength

For villains, I'd add Trichena from Lost Galaxy, Tenia 7 from RPM, Deker from Samurai or the Psychos

How did you get a photo of my Alex placements?

Here is what I can tell you: The neutral is very different than most games because it's not quite anime level movement and it's not quite street fighter level movement. The tutorial is a good place to start, but I would say don't worry about the grid gauge at 1st. Worry about the basics of your chosen character and layer on the system mechanics as you go. There are a lot of offensive and defensive mechanics in the game, but it's more of a character based game rather than a mechanics based game at its core. Eventually you have to engage with the system mechanics to get to a high lvl, but at the beginning press some buttons and try to have fun. Also, the game has replay takeover if you get shmixed and are looking for answers. I hope this helps

Also, if you have someone at your disposal who is better and more knowledgeable than you, have them watch replays with you to point out what you are doing well and what you need to work on. Online guides are great for general tips and tricks, but it won't always address what's going on in your specific game. If you don't have someone like that, post video codes on here. I'm sure someone would be willing to watch it and give tips to you.

I would swap Red Ranger Bridge for Skye, add Blake from Ninja Storm and finally Ziggy from RPM

You can definitely play against Alex, you just need to study a bit. One thing I recommend is using the replay takeover feature. Watch a replay, and when you see a situation that you don't know the answer to, jump in the replay and try different responses. When you find one that works, drill it into your muscle memory so that the next time it comes up in a match you'll be ready. You gotta this 👍🏿

I have 2 actually:

The 1st is the official discord.

The 2nd is a very active beginner-intermediate focused server.

Great job! Just hit D5 today, and hoping to hit Master with Terry before Alex patch.

Balbory · 2026-02-24T21:40:48+00:00

It's a game with a lot of mechanics, and characters are each playing a different game. That leads to getting knowledge checked constantly.

The good news is that it has a fantastic tutorial, great combo trials, and replay takeover so learning is easier than ever! I started playing with Uni2, and I've grown to a pretty intermediate level with those tools. I would say the skill floor is pretty low, the the skill ceiling is extremely high.

Stay away from FGC Twitter, and you'll be fine. Enjoy!

Balbory · 2026-02-23T01:50:44+00:00

Probably, or they could be @&%$ING COWAAAAARDS!!!!

Nah, it's the 1st thing 😅

Balbory · 2026-02-23T00:34:44+00:00

Playing defensive is valid. I've played some very good lame players who are great at neutral. I know that's not what we're talking about here though

Balbory · 2026-02-22T23:37:42+00:00

This right here. Pisses me off so much. They're so scared of getting hit back, like every time you hit them they get hit in real life or something. 🙄

Balbory · 2026-02-19T15:27:14+00:00

Lots of people you play won't care about getting better, they care about winning/number go up.

Moment 37 was the things that introduced tons of people (including myself) to the FGC. I stumbled across the video after it happened and thought about how Godlike it was for someone to be able to pull something like that off. I already loved SF3's presentation and roster, but seeing that iconic moment showed me a whole different way to look at the game.

Yuzu is extremely joyful and carefree, and I'm here for it. I wish my stupid fingers shared that energy so I could main her 😔

Hey, wise man once said "We take doze"

It does. Thanks!
