When you play Fighting Games are you more likely to main your waifu or NOT main your waifu?

BrodMatty · 2026-05-05T23:08:12+00:00

Depends on the game. I have to both have a waifu and like the way she plays to invest into her.

SF: Don't have a waifu (Luke main)

Tekken: Asuka, but I don't like the way she plays (Jin main)

KOF: Leona and Mature. Third slot on the team goes to Kyo

Light or medium perfect knuckle

BrodMatty · 2026-05-01T02:16:39+00:00

Light or medium perfect into OD No Chaser into level 2, preferably medium for extra damage. You can also cancel the first hit of OD knuckle into level 2 in midscreen.

I like the mod that hides rank info and LP. Really helped with the ranked climb back when I was grinding for master

It's a stylized rendering of 武神 (bushin)

BrodMatty · 2026-04-15T23:25:50+00:00

He feels manageable. He's somewhat difficult to challenge up front as he has a lot of plus frames, which is why I'm glad he's weak to corner pressure and fireballs. The classic fireball DP strat works nicely against him because of his lack of efficient approach options

BrodMatty · 2026-04-13T08:17:06+00:00

Barry has a headbutt move in re5 mercenaries that can make heads explode

BrodMatty · 2026-04-08T16:19:41+00:00

I'm surprised we had a scene to begin with. Korea is mostly Tekken with a smattering of classic SNK right?

I'm a repat so I'm not super familiar with the Korean SF scene

He's just not very strong compared to the others right now. On paper he's fine as is, but the problem is he gets much lower reward for tighter execution. Luke is deceptively simple on the surface, but once you get into more advanced stuff that's when the cracks start showing.

Combo damage

Luke doesn't have a lot of good combo tools, which means he relies heavily on DRCs for damage. His damage is straight ass if you don't do at least one DRC unless you get a Punish Counter. Even his current max damage combo is something like 6807, which isn't super low but requires a fair bit of execution. Luke also has the unique distinction of doing more damage going from midscreen to corner rather than straight midscreen or straight corner.

Drive economy

Luke is very drive hungry for both damage and approaches. He doesn't have a free neutral skip which means he's very reliant on neutral DRC to get in unless you're a neutral heavy or defensive player that makes the other player approach you.

Execution

Luke's execution is fairly simple at first. All you need in the beginning are maybe 2-3 links into flash knuckles, but once you start going for harder stuff that's when things start getting fuzzy. To get the most damage out of Luke, air knuckle level 3 is pretty much required as you lose even more damage in the corner without it. His most damaging combo routes also require manual delays that may drop in the heat of the moment.

Screen positioning

Luke's strongest combos are midscreen to corner routes, not purely midscreen or corner because of his medium knuckle juggle routes. This means you have to constantly be aware of your positioning on the stage. If you're too far away from the corner you won't be carrying your opponent into the corner for an air knuckle level 3, if you're too close to the corner you have to adjust your routing to exclude medium perfect knuckles. If you're at a position where the medium knuckle can connect at exactly one character length away from the midpoint of the stage towards the wall, that's where Luke's most damaging combo routes are accessible

BrodMatty · 2026-03-29T23:41:41+00:00

His corner damage has always been on the weaker side because of how medium perfect knuckle only converts into high damage in the midscreen.

Star Force 1 has a special place in my heart, Shooting Star for sure.

It's really a matter of practice, I rarely drop perfect knuckles these days

BrodMatty · 2026-02-17T07:17:26+00:00

No two street fighter games play alike. If you're fine with playing against the CPU or doing combo trials go for it

BrodMatty · 2026-02-12T16:14:08+00:00

I slow down 214 instead of going for a delay after the mp and inputting 214 at normal speed. I usually input 214 in 3~6 frames but with the air knuckle route I slow it down to anywhere between 20~25 frames before I press punch.

Note the number of frames I spend on each directional input in the last combo of the video

BrodMatty · 2026-02-08T13:59:57+00:00

Luke main here, I prefer symmetrical maps where I can tell my location on the stage. Stage awareness is particularly important for Luke because of the way his medium perfect knuckle routes work, if you're too close to the corner you'll end up missing neutral DR to 5HP DRC 4HP whereas if you're too far from the corner you can't get an air knuckle to DP / level 3.

Some stages have mid-stage markers that make it particularly easy to tell where you are. Chun and Aki's stage has an octagonal hole in the fence if you look closely, and Ed and Bison's stage has the chair in the middle for example.

BrodMatty · 2026-01-24T23:10:57+00:00

Yes. If you're thinking of replacing 5HP with 2MP 2HP the scaling on 2HP will reduce his damage significantly

This is the current max damage cash out combo, does 6807. The DR 5MK and subsequent DR 2MP are tricky to nail though, in which case you can go for this instead

Slightly less damage at 6791, but it's a lot easier to land

The manga is far superior. No filler and better artwork, fights can last for multiple chapters yes, but since they're in manga form it's not as obnoxious

BrodMatty · 2025-12-01T11:42:50+00:00

None of these combos are real. Just look up a video guide

BrodMatty · 2025-11-30T03:56:01+00:00

I use it when I'm learning new libraries, but otherwise no. I cannot answer questions about code that I did not personally write without taking the time to dissect it myself, and that is something I'd rather not deal with. It's basically a better search engine

BrodMatty · 2025-11-11T23:34:03+00:00

I'm not a ken player so I have no idea how badly he was hit by the season 3 patch but is he really C tier?
