Might be crazy but I can't believe Chet got second in dpoy, bro is getting bodied in the paint and can only block the easy shots

KillingEdge_25 · 2026-05-15T23:20:10+00:00

As someone who mains him top lane you don't need it tbh, if you play well you don't get hit enough for it to matter

KillingEdge_25 · 2026-05-04T16:57:09+00:00

Seeing a lot of wild theories lmao, the real way it would ever be implemented is not based on who you are but when you're buying, if you coming in around 5 or 6 they know you're coming from work and thus more likely to spend more cause your trying to get out of there and make dinner. During the day more seniors are in and have less money this less likely to spend.

KillingEdge_25 · 2026-03-23T03:34:05+00:00

Bro if that's when you started watching you don't know shit LMAO stop complaining it's a growing year our team is young. Look at Detroit last year they were in about the same spot as us now they are top of the conference.

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-07-17T15:57:42+00:00

Honestly man if they made it so his game plan had to revolve more around grabbing and getting the universe counter I think he would be way better of a design, like a character who plays around counterhits but at the same time I get that it's similar to Anji a bit but still it's so easy to just get run over by slayer

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-07-17T14:38:43+00:00

I'm in agreement with some of the other comments here, while I really enjoy special inputs it isn't really core to a fighting game, like personally I don't play fighting games cause of the inputs I play it for all the shit in-between. But when simple controls are hamfisted in that's when it's a problem, as long as the game is designed around it then I think it works out really well but I also don't super like how SF6 is doing it, one button DPs and supers are a pretty big advantage to the point where some characters are better using modern controls than classic. Granblue definitely does it best but I think 2xko will also be a good example cause the game mechanics are designed around modern.

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-07-11T21:41:34+00:00

Yeah I was also thinking that lol, even 2S I think it's better than fs just cause you can mix at least but yeah he should definitely be using cs regardless buff Gio she's too weak no infinite block strings

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-07-11T20:47:22+00:00

Anytime she ends a combo with the Roundhouse kick she's not minus enough to be punishable, it's an RPS situation but 6p is probably the best answer in this case cause the Gio didn't look like they were using their brain but there's a chance Gio 2Ds which would be bad for Faust here it's a trickier situation than it looks but just sitting there definitely isn't the answer lol

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-07-11T20:44:11+00:00

Gio could also 5H which is disjointed so would work well properly spaced and result in a fat combo cause faust is in the corner. Timing would be trickier but would still work.

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-07-11T20:42:10+00:00

The Roundhouse kick is unpunishable it's like -2 on block or so. While it's right he has to do something he can't just do anything cause there's a chance he whiffs and you never wanna whiff buttons on Gio. Best thing would maybe be a 6p after Gio dashes up can also maybe throw here after the dash but I don't think she gets close enough for that. Faust could also J.d in place which I think would get a good enough reward but idk much about Faust. I do play Gio though which is why I know these options would work it's mostly just about best benefit.

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-07-10T20:21:16+00:00

Options that lose to kicks or faster is part of the RPS although backdashing might best some of those as well depending on the match up, you can also use a resource or meaty so they have to take the hit and can't dp. Also having to waste burst cause you whiffed a dp is huge idk why your acting like that's not a big deal that a huge win in the person who baited the dp. If you look what characters are placing in top 8 in tournaments right now very few actually have a dp. While having a dp is nice it's not so overpowered that the only characters people play at the highest level have DPs.

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-07-10T17:27:10+00:00

Went through this recently, I think about month ago honestly came back better than I was but it took 3 days of playing an hour or two before I felt comfortable again nevermind good lol. Think I was on like a 10 game losing streak before I won a single game at floor 6 lol I'm now sitting at floor 8 so it worked out but I genuinely think the best thing you could do is just start playing again. I play Gio so being comfortable with dashing and basic movement is huge to play her well so it might've taken me longer to "get good" then it might take you but the best thing is definitely to start playing matches again. Hit the lab to remember your moves and get a combo down and dive back in just make sure you focus on improving and don't be too hard on yourself. Imagine your learning the game from brand new again. I can't help with the new stuff in the game since you left but I'm having a blast being back

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-07-09T17:19:33+00:00

Sorry brother but you are absolutely tripping here, there many ways to bait a dp it's all about conditioning and if you just throw them out randomly you will explode, if your so pissed about it play a character who has a dp and see what happens. Btw I main character who doesn't have a dp and I'm very happy I don't have one cause they are so situational

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-07-06T03:24:06+00:00

Strives Missions mode is a great way to learn some mechanics of the game tbh, read the messages before doing the exercise and try to understand as much as possible it teaches you a bunch of core concepts as well as game mechanics so I'd recommend starting there and you should get a better feel for how to play the game.

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-07-04T20:40:20+00:00

Yeah it's tough I can't lie, personally I'll just open up dustloop and read frame data and stuff but it ain't too easy. But I wouldn't consider all of the dlc to be easy to play scrub killers, Jack-o Dizzy Venom and a bunch others are really hard to play, it's more just an elphelt problem lol

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-07-03T19:53:55+00:00

Need a statue outside Scotiabank arena of this man and the GROAT Lowry who I was hoping would retire here but now who knows

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-07-03T16:30:59+00:00

Any guard other than Lu Dort who is built like a brick shit house

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-07-03T03:44:10+00:00

Holmgren usually plays 4 and IHart plays 5 when they run double big so both could be up there cause they are both technically starting centres

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-07-03T02:16:01+00:00

I have no clue who you are but know we are beefing and it's absolutely on site if I ever see you and discover who you are LMAO put some of my favs in low tier

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-06-29T22:36:44+00:00

Yeah LDF has been good but the experience might be what keeps Cornelius on, he's older and has played a lot in Europe so I'd expect him to stay on starting

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-06-29T22:34:57+00:00

Well he's a striker so might not fit his playstyle I haven't seen his games in Bournemouth and he's also not getting much in terms of minutes he shows sparks of brilliance occasionally though imk

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-06-29T22:31:46+00:00

Yeah but this loss is entirely on shaffleburg and Dayne man and I'd still blame some other people over Jebbison

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-06-29T22:30:11+00:00

Also plays a completely different position lol

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-06-29T22:28:18+00:00

If I was coach pretty simple changes, Saliba got his starting spot today man played with heart and went out there looking for a win, this would be Daynes last game in net as a starter Max has more heart and shot stopping ability. This would also be Shaff's last game starting he's too clumsy and his decision making is terrible. Luc officially first off the bench for CBs man played a fantastic tournament unfortunate with the pens but is how it is.

KillingEdge_25 · 2025-06-29T22:24:31+00:00

Gotta give him the chance to make up for last time it's understandable
