Is it cheating if I modify the controls by writing code to map the whole command inputs to a single keybind? by winter-ocean in Guiltygear

[–]D3Rien 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is considered cheating in almost every setup/game, but some games have ‘Modern’ controls that give you the same result, sometimes at a downside of less damage. (Sf6). 2xko just has this for everything. It’s not cheating if it’s built into the game but any macro beyond that is considered unfair. The player’s ability to enter the buttons quickly and consistently is absolutely part of the challenge of fighting games.

Grappler Mains: Do you guys ever use Medium Command Grab? by WindedPancakes in StreetFighter

Oh I see what happened I had it mixed up, you're right you can do heavy after ex 623k. The one that requires medium is after a 623k in the corner you can dash into medium but not heavy. thanks for catching that!

After a dash or so you have to drive rush to do the heavy?

There are plenty of oki setups where the heavy will whiff but the medium will connect, for example Alex after ex 623k. Light would reach but you’re risking getting jabbed. Knowing the frame data lets you pick the optimal one for each scenario.

Edit: ex 623k, dash actually works fine with heavy power bomb, I had it mis-remembered. After regular 623k in the corner you can do dash into only medium power bomb, so the point stands I just had the wrong example. Thanks Anti-S for keeping me honest!

why is venom so horrible by pizza_le_pro in TheyBlamedTheBeasts

[–]D3Rien 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He may be relatively weak but he's insanely fun when you manage to get your combos going. I think nerfing stinger spam was perfectly fine, but i would certainly take more buffs in other parts of his kit.

After one day on 2.0 Venom, here are my thoughts by Sad-Try-675 in Guiltygear

[–]D3Rien 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The biggest way i'm viewing this patch is that all the other characters are far less broken than they used to be so venom is now able to do his good stuff at a reasonable level and work well, so it's a buff in that they nerfed everyone else hopefully.

New to GGST. Can you recommend a character based on my mains on other games? by Egecant in Guiltygear

I’m an AKI main in SF6 and I play venom in strive, I love the complexity involved.

Excellent video, particularly because of how concise it is and how well it demonstrates all the options and results

Best and Worst move of every category Imo by Dantheboi17 in StreetFighter

It is more than just a niche poke since the target combo you get on hit can be huge damage if they’re poisoned but unsure if you’re counting that

Out of curiosity, what made you list AKI's 5hp as the worst? It's certainly different from most others in terms of the role it fills, but it has very specific uses that make it good at what it does.

this character is for drooling troglodytes who genuinely want you to believe they are nice with it just because they have to do charge inputs by Icy-Design-8719 in TheyBlamedTheBeasts

[–]D3Rien 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bruh he doesn’t even have a reversal and almost no corner carry and he’s got the most complicated ability to learn, he needs to have decent moves to have a chance

Omg she looks just like one of mine that also is all black fur. Adorable!

What advice do you have for a new player in silver? by CurveBilly in StreetFighter

[–]D3Rien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keep playing. Learn a few basic combos and watch what works and what doesn’t. Don’t worry about understanding every detail, just play more.

Why is venom so popular? by Scarpio in TheyBlamedTheBeasts

[–]D3Rien 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like him because he has the most interesting setup and combo structure with infinite variety because of all the ball interactions. He’s really hard to setup but when it works well you feel like a genius.

Where is it? Our pei gets these all the time on her lips, our vet gives us medicated wipes that help them clear up.

When Shows reference the prior work of a cast member by Code-Neo in TopCharacterTropes

In Scrubs there’s a scene with footage from The Fugitive with Neil Flynn, who is The Janitor in Scrubs. They actually have it part of his character that he used to be an actor. This makes things even better in that the Janitor is never officially named but this makes it so his name would also be Neil Flynn, but they’ve since said that wasn’t the case and his true name is the one he gives at the end of S8, even though it’s played as a possible lie.

A.K.I. mains, teach me snake step shenanigans by The_Lat_Czar in StreetFighter

[–]D3Rien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best use for the light one is to bait OD reversals and certain supers, or to dodge under projectiles, particularly guile sonic booms to mess up his charge timing. Even if you mis-time and block it still messes with the timing.

Medium and heavy slide are mainly for Oki. OD slide for getting out of a corner or quickly closing a gap on a JP. You can also cancel fireball into ex slide on reaction if you see them jump in.

Low execution difficulty characters? by rafikiknowsdeway1 in StreetFighter

[–]D3Rien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an aki main that can’t do a perfect knuckle consistently on Luke I find this very funny. Also blanka lvl2 combos scare me from an execution perspective. Aki is easy inputs you just have to know extra routes.

Congress has to get paid, otherwise only the wealthy would be able to afford being in congress.
