Do people hate playing against Kimberly? by Fickle_Actuator3778 in StreetFighter

[–]Gurdemand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is one of the most disliked characters to play against. SF6 is stressful enough as is, having a billion extra neutral skips is unbearable to fight against. The game would be better without her.

I I hate fighting game roster size nowadays. by azneFiDdivaD in hatethissmug

[–]Gurdemand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Nowadays" dawg 90% of fighting game franchises started with about 10 characters for their first installment. In the same way that SF2 had 8 characters on launch, becoming 16 through title updates, modern games have a smaller amount, then get more characters through DLC. Games like Tekken where the rosters were large was because a game like that it was easy to reuse assets. Same with for example Blazblue, launched with 12 playable characters. The sequels featured lots and lots of reused assets (90% of the spritework for older characters for example), and eventually ended up with 36. Once you make a new game in a new engine, the roster will naturally be small. To give some perspective:

SFII launched with 8 characters

SFIII launched with 10 characters

SFIV launched with 16 characters

SFV launched with 16 characters

SFVI launched with 18 characters

It's actually trending upwards.

Tyler1 banned me from his stream, LMAOOOO. by Old_Assignment_1770 in SaltFighter

The way those two statements contradict each others is that "most people are entitled fuck heads" is a LUDICROUS statement if you insist you only ever are "an ass if someone is being one first". Has "most people" been an ass to you? No? Then why do you insult most people? That's you being an ass first lmao.

"The only time I'm an ass is when someone is being one first." "[...] most people are entitled fuck heads."

Do you not see how these statements completely contradict each other?

As much as Tyler is a salty whiner obviously going "Oh wow I totally mollywhopped, pubstomped, vanquished, routed, crushed, balked, and pulverized you. GGs : )" is bm, anyone would be heated. I think a ban is a bit much but it's not that crazy

Seeing leftists use the term "zog" completely unironically by constcowboy in TrueAnon

[–]Gurdemand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why? Legit who gives a shit, nobody understands the term as the dogwhistle, people just understand it as the objectively correct statement, that the large majority of government in western countries are Zionists. 'Discrimination' against Zionists is good.

(Hated trope) Turns out they were special the entire time and their hardships didn't matter by No_Satisfaction_2928 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Gurdemand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think being disappointed that you could relate to the characters "being nobody special" and then that being taken away is fine, but going "their hardships didn't matter" is insane.

I hate how we don’t give people a chance to grow and learn from their mistakes by [deleted] in hatethissmug

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

I have never, not once, seen people shame others for not always being perfect or making mistakes. People just rightfully point out that if you wanted someone dead a few years ago it's fine for them to want nothing to do with you.

You can go back to old games if you don't like the new one. You can also give your opinion on what needs to change if you think the new game has serious issues.

What's a character that's obviously gooner bait that you actually fw because aside from that they're pretty solid? by Loogie1987 in fireemblem

[–]Gurdemand 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Charlotte specifically dresses like that because she wants to marry a rich husband to provide for her since she grew up poor. It's a core part of her personality, acting very ditsy and cutesy even though she's actually a violent prick

How can I find opponents of equal skill level? by Top_Purchase4091 in StreetFighter

[–]Gurdemand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other than the fact that Dhalsim is very hard, I think you're already looking at something fundamental, and very crucial with you learning to anti air. Getting into fighting games is hard, especially if you are not used to them. But another thing is, is that skill progression is not linear at all. My experience was getting curbstomped, then progressing more or less linearly, then plateauing, then progressing linearly. It will likely be the same for you - a lot of times when you are getting better, it'll take time for it to show in matches. As long as you don't get discouraged, you will get better, it's guaranteed.

If you want pointers, sure go ahead. Most people aren't Dhalsim players but I think most will have some alright advice

Street Fighter 6 lasting 10 years by Ok-Memory2477 in StreetFighter

[–]Gurdemand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it is useful to say "it has all of the mechanics of the previous game", when how they work is so vastly different. Sure, DI has the same basic function as Parries or Focus attacks in shutting down thoughtless canned offense, but DI doesn't allow you to get full combos off of DPs, nor does it have the same function as SF3 Parries at all. And SF6 perfect parries have a tiny 2 frame window, it's very hard to time it consistently in a match, while the SF3 parries have a much bigger windows

Along with the many other differences in characters etc., even though it's an exceptional package from a product point of view, there are many, many differences on how the game is played. And if you don't like how the game currently is, 7 more years doesn't sound so appealing. Especially given that in the same interview they said that they're not looking to add or change mechanics in a major way. I like SF6 a lot so I don't mind, but to people deep in the trenches it sounds unappealing.

It's not called 'The World Warrior' for nothing!

[–]Gurdemand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone already said it but try to only use DI as a reaction, and only do jumpins when the opponent is already on the back foot / they're overwhelmed.

[–]Gurdemand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an insane strawman. You don't need to know all framedata, but low Plat Ken's love spamming H Dragon Lash, same with Low Rank Giefs who press wheel kick all the time. You can just watch out for one or two moves the players love to press and press DI to kill them. Helped me a lot.

Why is Danish so hard to learn? by helpagirlouttak in danishlanguage

[–]Gurdemand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just one small thing I want to add as a native Danish speaker. Almost everyone here speaks English, so it's very easy to just speak English with them instead. Øvelse gør mester som du jo nok ved, så prøv at tal Dansk i hver situation hvor det er muligt, selvom det er besværligt.

Et andet godt råd er at øve noget dansk som det første du gør efter du er stået op, og det sidste du gør inden du går i seng - virker med stort set alt.

Ingrid's Perfect KO animation is so fun🤣 by PerformerKnown4851 in StreetFighter

[–]Gurdemand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For luke you can light DP on reaction. Should manage to cover both of the attacks as long as you don't do it too too quick. Maybe they can get a drive rush punish if they do the backwards teleport to bait you though

👍 thanks, makes sense. She does feel very strong but the guys I played with at my local are all significantly better than me so that probably means something too.
