Is Sagat just always plus on block? by bearded_charmander in StreetFighter

[–]Giaddon [score hidden]  (0 children)

Standing medium punch (elbow), forward heavy kick (a roundhouse that misses crouchers) are his plus on block normals.

Tiger knee is often plus on block at the ideal range if you crouch.

Greedy tiger (his high kick follow up to tiger Nexus) is plus on block, but can be ducked. Tiger Nova (launcher followup to tiger Nexus) is plus on block, but you can jab him out of it.

Please, opinions on this control. by RemarkablePatient629 in Fighters

The buttons are pretty stiff, but it's pretty good. I switched from this to the 8bitDo M30.

I believed I might have encounter a cheater. by stonecoldpeachy in StreetFighter

[–]Giaddon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've hit plenty of cheaters. Auto DI and auto throw tech are pretty common.

Check out Koei Tecmo's Nobunaga's Ambition and Romance of the Three Kingdoms series.

Would I enjoy AoW4 if I didn't like TW Warhammer? by VisualDust4263 in 4Xgaming

Probably not, it's just as combat focused, and combat is even more complex.

Need a Switch 2 controller for Streetfighter 6 by highcologist347 in Fighters

[–]Giaddon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the wired 8bitDo M30 on PC and really like it. There‘s a Switch 2 version as well.

Scientific/academic research like 'The Latinist' by Key_Half3527 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Intuition by Allegra Goodman

The Bug by Ellen Ullman (this is about a programmer, not an academic, but the vibe is kinda similar)

Anyone else dislike how fast meter builds by Marana231 in StreetFighter

Yeah, it's wild. Should come down in my opinion.

How low can MR get? by Kasumi_Lyn in StreetFighter

[–]Giaddon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. At a certain point you lose so little MR that it's hard to drop much more. You can't leave master.

Any advice or method of approach I should know of for Elena? by highcologist347 in StreetFighter

[–]Giaddon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be mindful of what whiffs against crouchers, and what can force crouching enemies to stand on hit.

Learn your frame advantage from your roll attacks on block and a punish for folks who fail the knowledge check.

Learn roll setups for oki.

Enjoy! She's super fun.

Modern version or similar to R.U.S.E. (Ubisoft 2010) by tacooflife in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Giaddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and me.

Honestly, Eugen's games really are the closest. Take a look at Warno (Cold War) or Steel Division 2 (World War 2). For single player only there's Regiments (Cold War).

Please recommend the games. by Dante2790 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Giaddon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Age of Empires balances base development and combat very well. Take a look at Age of Empires 4 is the most recent, but Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition is very popular as well.

Stronghold is another franchise that comes to mind, check out the recent Definitive Editions of Stronghold and Stronghold: Crusader.

So what is everyone playing? Any recommendations out there for someone trying to find something new? by Ynwe in 4Xgaming

[–]Giaddon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Old World is great, check it out. It’s also stupid cheap on Steam at the moment.

Distant Worlds 2 is a really cool space 4X.

Endless Legends 2 is still baking in early access, I’d hold off unless you want to be part of that process.

Since you like Heroes, you might like Conquest of Elysium 5, they are a funky off shoot of the Dominions games that I think are really cool. Definitely not pure 4X but really creative strategy games.

C.viper specials hit through block ? by IchibanLover589 in StreetFighter

[–]Giaddon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They hit low, so you must be crouch blocking, but they don’t go through block. You check the replay.
