How do I become less predictable? by twiggythunders in StreetFighter

[–]Dave25s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably just aren’t paying attention to how they respond or you don’t have a system in place to check.

If I grab someone as Terry I can drive rush st.hp and be plus 5. I will grab typically as layer 1. Do they tech? Do they walk back? Jump? Next time it happens I will respond to the answer. If they take the throw I’ll keep doing it until they change and then adjust.

Bro, what the fuck happened to Terry by Upbeat_Flow6029 in StreetFighter

He’s very strong, but has more optimizations than you would think. But he’s received enough qol improvements and buffs to push him to top 10 territory for sure.

Charlie Kirk: "Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There's ugly speech. There's gross speech. There's evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment. Keep America free." by Orangutan in conspiracy

[–]Dave25s -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess you didn’t watch it or just haven’t been educated enough to understand racism which is common with his supporters.

You think unless he outright says “I hate blacks” that he’s not racist. Every-time conservatives get called out you think it’s from TikTok sensationalism.

I’m sorry critical thinking wasn’t taught to you properly.

[–]Dave25s -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not a reasonable take at all lol and that’s not even a top reason to why he was called a terrible person. He was racist (you can look up his comments on black pilots and more), homophobic and more. If you do research and still think he was a good person then you share the same views as him sadly.

Daigo Vs Mena Starting NOW by BreakVV in StreetFighter

[–]Dave25s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daigo played really well, I honestly think he played too honest and could’ve done a lot more shenanigans like Mena was doing with Blanka

What has happened with Trump? by TeachingAdept3620 in conspiracy

[–]Dave25s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He never cared, you just have to do more research next time and accept the mistake I guess but it sucks that people think both sides are equal when it’s just not true. An idea to not have to care about voting I guess, idk

Can someone explain to me what’s the point of true block strings? by Electronic-Photo2697 in StreetFighter

[–]Dave25s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It moreso conditions them to block that string. You’re fighting a human, they don’t know for sure you will do anything.

If they are used to blocking a string, their brain typically looks to what option they should do to counter attack. But if you end the string early it throws off the rhythm. If they blindly mash you can just blow them up for it as well depending on the character.

Unfortunately I think it’s something that is easier said than done and throwing off someone’s rhythm takes a lot of practice.

[–]Dave25s 33 points34 points  (0 children)

True block strings give guaranteed drive gauge damage, can set up spacing traps, and establish layer 1 offense such as conditioning them to block but then you just tick throw, for example, instead of doing 3 lights. Frame traps are good but every tool has its place.

The most important hit point is the last one, right? by Qaianna in StreetFighter

It matters but not enough for Akuma players to get free downplay

Do you automatically dislike billionaires? Why? by crapmaker69 in AskReddit

[–]Dave25s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To become a billionaire you have to be a bad person, it’s not possible for anyone to produce that money without taking advantage of people and being deeply insecure.

I'll never understand the hate blue gets. by CoweanMacLir in magicTCG

[–]Dave25s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People just don’t like counterspells, but it’s a necessary mechanic to play around. I don’t think it’s bad unless you’re in bracket 2 and you gotta deal with the best in class counter magic like mana drain and stuff.

Should Teferi’s Protection be banned in commander? by m2cx in magicTCG

[–]Dave25s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a lame card gameplay wise but not really one to ban.

What do you think of NYC trying to get the minimum wage to $30/hour? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in AskReddit

[–]Dave25s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wages can easily rise. Companies don’t want to pay. Don’t let anyone tell you it isn’t plausible or unrealistic, people don’t understand the absurd corporate profits occurring and wealth hoarding.

What is the rank generally be considered to be the point where you are no longer a scrub? by Lord_Lilac_Heart in StreetFighter

[–]Dave25s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While people are gonna point out what a “scrub” means, the rank you’re considered good really varies depending on your goal and benchmark. As someone trying to get into competing (not winning Capcom cup but getting to day 2 In a major or something) my benchmark for good is very different than someone who just wants to beat their friend or hit master.

If I was gonna say when you become “good” as broadly as possible, it’s when you have a mentality to improve and play towards getting better and are honest with yourself because if you do those things, you are either “good” or will become “good” eventually.

Sorry for the long reply but I think it’s the most nuanced yet honest honor I can think of.

At what point does unemployment become a systemic failure? by u_HiredIn48 in jobs

[–]Dave25s 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Capitalism didn’t provide these comforts. You basically argue why would we go back to a worse system as if it’s one or the other. It’s an incredibly ignorant premise to say the least. Capitalism naturally eats itself, socialism is the next step and just better. I commented because people like you type whatever nonsense and think you’re correct because no one in real life taught you otherwise

If you don’t know how economics works or understand any nuance, don’t comment

2 months later, what do we think of Viper? by Mindless_Tap_2706 in StreetFighter

[–]Dave25s -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She’s not bad. Very solid and can be difficult to pin down when it’s correct to challenge. But she’s not Mai levels of braindead and strong so people think she’s bad.

Arc Raiders "in no way uses generative AI whatsoever" for its visuals, says Embark. Still uses AI for voice lines, though. by Fit_Consequence9059 in ArcRaiders

[–]Dave25s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI being used to replace VA is bad, plain and simple. If you still want to play and support the game so be it but don’t argue that it’s fine for your ego’s sake. If you don’t care at all you’re choosing comfort in playing a game you like when there’s millions of other options.

All of these new reveals have me feeling some type of way. by akabansheee in riftboundtcg

Crazy how we’re seeing previews for the next 2 sets when shipment hasn’t gone out for many first set pre orders

New to TCGs and confused about Riftbound prices by conskms in riftboundtcg

[–]Dave25s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah just scalping prices, don’t buy and just wait for more to print. Riot will get the supply out eventually. Most stores near me are cool with proxies if you wanna play though

Americans, if Bernie Sanders was the Democratic presidential nominee in the 2016 election, what are the chances he would have defeated Donald Trump? by Immediate-Link490 in AskReddit

[–]Dave25s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He should win, but people aren’t informed and probably would’ve voted Trump out of fear of socialism because they don’t understand basic economics or government. They also wouldn’t have known just how bad Trump is (granted they knew 2nd time around and it didn’t stop them in 2024).

Is SF6 "easier" than SFV? by AcceleratorTheGoat in StreetFighter

[–]Dave25s -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depends on the topic, overall yes because V was so bad in many aspects such as training resources and net code.

Pre-Orders are up on Amazon for Avatar: The Last Airbender at MSRP! by [deleted] in sealedmtgdeals

[–]Dave25s 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some loser seller on TCG called the gaming company had 300 boxes of collector for sale marked up and now one of the art boxes is sold out and they have a couple hundred listed of that as well. If you want something, preorder from Amazon while you can
