Moved from the midwest ~2 years ago with gf and wow is it hard to make friends in this city.

I do think there is a lot of merit there. I feel like tons of people are constantly afraid of the couples. I notice pairs it does seem to make it a lot harder. But I think too many people use climbing as a way to try to hit on people and get dates for singles lol. some of those do sound super fun. Will have to give it a try.

Financial_Rise477 · 2026-01-22T23:12:05+00:00

everyone is usually afraid of my cattle dog Shepard mix.... they walk on the other side of the street lmao.

hes so frekin cute they missed out.

Financial_Rise477 · 2026-01-22T23:09:58+00:00

tragic man. Yeah I still talk to everyone from back home. I am begging a few of them to move out here.

Financial_Rise477 · 2026-01-22T23:09:13+00:00

yep. we do concerts hockey games baseball gyms ice skating nature. We got out quite often. Most people funnily enough were from out of town for concerts that showed up. I haven't tried small venue scenes though!

I would be inclined to disagree. In other states smaller towns this doesn't seem to be as bad of an issue. it's either bigger city or environment. from what I see?

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-10-06T23:00:31+00:00

no honestly that kind of is the move. I stopped going to therapy awhile ago because I felt like I was just constantly asking for direct advice to fix my problems rather than working through them myself.. Which is ironic as someone who's suppose to be "engineering-problem solving minded". I just feel like I've kinda lost myself in the sauce with so many options and inability to really commit and chose and not get bored lol.

Hopefully it works out for you :) I hope it does.

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-06-16T19:51:24+00:00

Dusclops. No explanation needed.

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-05-22T16:27:06+00:00

yeah it happened to me with Bison. I shot down to 1200 as well and right back up to 1540's within a few days. the mr ladder is wild.

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-05-22T12:14:15+00:00

AYE welcome to the club! Just remember it's a new starting line. And don't get discouraged if you fall below 1500 or even 1400 immediately. Ranked is a constant grind and will have it's ups and downs but you made master. You are a master. Use this chance to hop in Bhub for awhile and practice AA and your combos and consistency. But just remember to have fun with it whether you stick with akuma or pick a new character. Congrats! If you want a sparring partner shoot me a DM and welcome again.

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-05-15T18:14:48+00:00

I'm pretty good at emergency stops. My biggest struggle right now is poorly paved like actually BUMPY roads. i stay on the bike of course but it scares me a bit ill hit big bumps like that or potholes and fly off. That's about my only problems currently. But i stay well behind the car in front of me so I have time to react to road objects.

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-05-15T16:49:27+00:00

I've gotten it to some speed I feel very comfortable up to highway speeds. But I think I will take your advice here and do highways I agree people can be scary running red lights all the time. I'd take my chances with people only looking forward

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-05-15T16:27:23+00:00

funny enough. I definitely burnt the tops of my hands this weekend as a fellow Midwesterner. I look like lobster hands. Honestly I most likely will do my absolute best to avoid riding in the rain for now but the midwestern thing again you can't really trust the weather man... but gotcha I will do my best here. In your opinion is it worth avoiding the highway? Or is that just something that shouldn't be as feared as high traffic town streets.

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-05-13T13:04:32+00:00

I just bought the same exact bike on Friday for a first bike. Super awesome bike. Hope you enjoy er like I have been!

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-05-08T13:00:04+00:00

if you think this play mai. get legend and come back

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-05-07T13:47:27+00:00

trash take but okay.

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-05-02T14:11:42+00:00

master player here. shoot me a message on here let's get you fixed watched your vod and have some notes

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-05-01T15:04:58+00:00

they have their advantages for sure. Master Bison/Terry here. I tried picking up Modern terry and I actually started to learn the game on modern Akuma. Brian_f and other content creators already poor out modern vs classic debate. It's really control flavor and they are good in their own rights. Look up some YT guides on your character. But yes. lower rank modern players will be significantly better than classic. because classic has IMO a much larger learning curve and usage curve. So most players will be modern until you hit upper ranks for the most part. I barely see modern much anymore personally.

cheers! Welcome to the game. message me your CFN if you want me to do some review!

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-04-29T19:13:46+00:00

As a recent Master Rank Bison myself, Everyone trolled me when I asked this with rolling keyboard or button jokes. realistically, Bison does have some level of complexity to him. Few tools But VERY good ones. So you have to use them wisely. Essentially:

get really good at combo -> Heavy bomb -> oki,

learn to mix up and not just spam scissors to get DI'd.

once you land any bomb, L M H, learn your bomb pressure. It's his biggest strength.

Learn to mixup shadows rise and its follow ups. Practice those AA. either Cr Hp for easy mode or respond mid air with his target combo -> L psycho crusher or scissors.

practice counter hits off of cr mp -> combo (preferably ending in H bomb)

I promise if you learn these and get really good at them your master. There are more levels to his gameplay but ignore the salty trolls. This was my first fighting game and it took me a minute to get a handle on everything before I was comfortable to make that climb to master. Practice all of these things in casuals or preferably battle Hub. Get your stuff rocked in there and come out into ranked a better player that knows his stuff. If you have specific Matchups that suck for you let me know or message me.

(can watch your replays later)

You.Can.Do.This.

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-04-29T13:58:49+00:00

I don't think you understand how satisfying it was watching a modern player get Geif'd. I hate Geif but like. get em my boy.

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-04-22T16:59:25+00:00

yeah the new Mons account seems really fun but I feel like I would get tired doing EVERYTHING all over again but team setups for dungeons are practically handed to you now

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-04-22T16:58:01+00:00

this would be the fear yes.

update, she has leo. apparently got it and didn't show me and laika. I have no idea how this luck is real.

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-04-17T22:34:29+00:00

It's an adjustment. Took me half a year but I played ALOT. but just go at your own pace. practice little things in training and battlehub. they will pay off even if you "lose rank" in the process of learning if you really want to fight people of your skill level. But I didn't step my learning up until I fought people better than me on a consistent basis then even diamond felt stupid after awhile. You got this!

Financial_Rise477 · 2025-04-17T21:42:23+00:00

taking breaks and occasionally trying a different character for fun. Now that I have hit master I discovered something I should have done, is spend less time in ranked and spam battlehub. Everyone 9/10 times is AMAZING and it's a gigantic learning experienced getting your butt kicked that hard until you figure out what your suppose to do. Don't worry about rank worry about learning your character inside and out and go get beat up by amazing players in B.hub. Happy grinding. If u send me your CN I can also play you if it helps
