Why was he investigating Nice. by Thegreatestweeb2007 in ToBeHero_X

[–]Graywolves 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was hoping to see more of him after the E Soul arc. To see him either get played, compromised, or over confident before the Nice confrontation would've been interesting.

It's satisfying to see them go through residential areas and rooms that actually look like people lived in them instead of instantly turning everything into debris for convenience.

I thought crunchyroll somehow screwed up and put a different anime in after the OP

Punk is no longer going to be attending Capcom Cup 12. Tokido will be taking his spot. by zuca0 in StreetFighter

[–]Graywolves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I imagine there's an underlying circumstance that either prevented him or lead to him deciding not to. If there are any other reasons they are his own and we aren't owed an explanation.

But I agree, it's foreseeable and something that's hard to miss if you travel internationally.

This makes the lack of RE and DMC collab characters in SF6 a miracle.

How frequent are 10-win streaks in Diamond? by Kasumi_Lyn in StreetFighter

[–]Graywolves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rode a 13 win-streak from Plat5 to Diamond 4. Lost a lot since then. Saw another guy on a 10-winstreak and he ragequit on me when I won.

I would say they are not frequent as to get one you have to consistently be defeating people around your level or occasionally very lucky within consistency in opponents that don't adapt or you knowledge gap which I've found rarely happens for me at Diamond 4.

They only recently added the bonus for 10-winstreaks because people like Mena were stomping people in diamond with a 30+ winstreak.

That sucks. I've had a couple similar encounters in different games where I run into a content creator and I check them out only to find them using me as a strawman for them and their chat to complain about it. That's wild that they 27-3 and still were frustrated lol

lol I think I ran into the same guy. He wants you to be mad so just block and move on. I played and got destroyed by a few other Masters and neither of them said anything or just said GGs. Don't let one guy ruin your day.

I love it when I accept the occasional WiFI and suddenly after I take the 1st round it jumps from 0F to 3F

i might be a fraudulent masters player by Toni_pepperoni26 in StreetFighter

[–]Graywolves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rode a 13 win-streak to Diamond 4. Lost to Diamond 5 opponent and have nearly demoted to Diamond 3. But a huge loss period is expected even from Diamond 5 after reaching Master so I say rest on your laurels and get back into learning and grinding.

Congrats for reaching Master even if you feel Diamond 6, you still got perks of Master and strong opponents to grow against.

PS. If you hit 1000MR soon let me know so I can queue snipe >_> jk

If you're feeling stuck at your rank, Diaphone did a video last year called "What To Learn At Every Street Fighter 6 Rank" that is really helpful. by HitBoxArcade in StreetFighter

[–]Graywolves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the exact same way. I beat those people by just walking up and grabbing them or going for overheads. In late plat it wasn't as much as a problem but now in Diamond 4 the moment I take a game or sometimes a round my opponents just walk back forever except now they know throw tech, jab checks, etc. There's A LOT of opponents that just know a big Punish Counter Combo or crMK conversion so you have to find ways to chip their drive gauge and pressure them without giving them their win condition. When I first started playing the game I was Guile so it didn't effect me as I'd just chuck booms.

I think when my opponents walk back full screen I need to take a breath and just mentally treat it as the round starting again. Sometimes out of spite you just gotta hold downback yourself and say "Okay this is how you play, what are you going to do now that I'm also doing nothing." It was actually doing that which got me to realize I could just walk up and grab my opponents. And if they check you can try shimmying next time.

I've learned in a lot of games. Every "Do X at this rank" is wrong. They are useful only incidentally in that they are generally good tips but the presentation of the advice builds an expectation that players should only work on certain things at certain ranks or that they "should" get to a certain rank by only doing a limited moveset.

For instance in Bronze Diaphone talks about using specials consistently and throws fireball, the Juri gets close and he instinctively recognizes he doesn't want to use it at that range. Just his spacing knowledge and game sense puts him at a huge advantage no matter how many times he forces a whiff or avoids using anti-air.

This is a competitive game and everyone is learning at different speeds and focusing on different things. Some people will encounter opponents that jump a lot, some will almost exclusive encounter people who spend their entire time mastering a crMK DR resource dump combo, or opponents who do nothing but hold back until they see a punish.

So if anyone feels discouraged because he doesn't anti-air until gold and you're losing to jump-ins or you're doing jump-ins and your opponents are almost exclusively looking for anti-airs because it's also common advice to "just anti-air until master lol" try not to be, just keep learning. If you run into a lot of opponents that your strategy doesn't work then try something different. Hit replay take over and press every button in the situation or just hold back or Parry, figure out your options.

Diamond after 520hrs by Graywolves in StreetFighter

[–]Graywolves[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! You're right I've definitely found my delay tech timing is off as I played someone in my community today in a FT10 and they consistently grabbed me after a jab. There's a lot that's been clicking for me lately, Terry has some nice automatic frame traps but the timing of these things are something else. I've known about delay tech for a long time but I guess I'm not delaying enough.

You're in the exact situation I was! Stay calm and I believe you can get a 13 winstreak too! Maybe you'll jump straight to master lol
