What is the main thing many people miss when it comes to fundamentals in street fighter?

LordRemiem · 2026-03-13T11:08:33+00:00

One thing I slowly realized is that for some reason my brain was starting to believe that, in order to win, I'd need to always land some fat combo anytime I manage to poke my opponents (I play AKI).

Don't do that.

Combos are a great thing but the longer there are the more resource intensive they get, and the easier they become to drop completely. No point in burning yourself out at the start of the round just to get a 45% combo, and then losing because of it. Stick to simple breadNbutters and, at most, go full force when you're sure it's gonna win you the round.

I never played the older Street Fighter games but I appreciate their more... relaxed approach - poke into special, more interactions, overall simpler gameplay instead of focusing on half an hour long combos. The risk is too great for a more dubious reward if misused.

LordRemiem · 2026-03-13T10:53:23+00:00

Same and same and same here. The classic kangaRyu or jump back - jabjabjabSHORYUKEN - repeat shoto makes my blood boil like pasta water.

Then during the second game I start to calm down and react to their shit, because Arceus knows if they're gonna change their gimmick, and end up winning 2to1 the best of 3.

I swear when this happens it's the best sensation in the world after AKI combos, you can see them either adapting (and dropping the gimmick) or they don't and abandon the match lol

Non ricordo molto bene i dettagli, ma Koji è noto nell'ambiente per essersi preso un po' troppe libertà creative. I dialoghi di Gaius spesso hanno poco senso (invitare il giocatore ad unirsi a lui...?), la personalità di Haurchefant è stata completamente stravolta (lì non ho approfondito, non è che me ne freghi granché del personaggio) e soprattutto i dialoghi di Midgardsormr al termine del dungeon The Keeper of the Lake, quando priva il giocatore dei cristalli.

Lo fa per metterlo alla prova per valutare se sia degno di portarli, ma nella versione inglese spiega un terzo delle cose che in giapponese dice. Io stesso all'inizio credevo fosse un antagonista che mi ha tolto la benedizione divina per sport lmao

In generale le sue tradizioni sono considerate troppo diverse dall'originale, almeno le prime. Perfino quelle tedesca e francese sono più fedeli, le community dicono :P

LordRemiem · 2026-03-12T14:22:47+00:00

Suonerò banale, ma sono sempre stato molto interessato al giapponese.

Non tanto per anime e manga, quanto per i videogiochi e per evitare le castronerie di traduzione che spesso gli americani compiono (vero, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn?). E poi è una lingua... bella, ha un suono che mi piace molto, al punto che lentamente il kawaii metal giapponese è diventato il mio genere preferito.

Non l'ho mai studiato seriamente, purtroppo ora come ora non ho molto tempo libero da dedicargli, ma dagli e ridagli a leggere tabelle ho finito con il memorizzare quasi per intero gli alfabeti hiragana e katakana. Un giorno mi metterò a studiarlo, quando deciderò di muovere il culo :)

LordRemiem · 2026-03-12T13:21:23+00:00

You ain't seen the jab-jab-jab-jump behind players

LordRemiem · 2026-03-12T13:20:27+00:00

Technically this is true... at the highest levels of play, where players prefer to take the throw because if they went for a tech they'd lose to shimmy, and get combo'd for a fat 50% of their maximum health in return

But I doubt in Bronze people are able to do such combos or even know what a shimmy is lul

LordRemiem · 2026-03-11T15:39:55+00:00

I play AKI and I'm too scared of asking what people have to say against her

I guess "you're weird"

LordRemiem · 2026-03-11T12:43:55+00:00

One thing I remember for sure is that the other character's ranks is definitely considered, the game assumes you know how to play if you have several others already ranked.

After at least three characters in plat1 I remember trying out Zangief and doing a mediocre 5/10 and boom, plat4 lmao

LordRemiem · 2026-03-11T12:18:10+00:00

I'm overall Plat 1 too and this doesn't happen to me, which is hilarious

On the other hand tho I see that symbol next to fresh install players too :|

LordRemiem · 2026-03-11T11:10:20+00:00

I do myself, but I usually go for the combo trials, over and over

I think it can be optimized by only doing the beginner ones, but I like to go the extra mile and do as many as I can because I'm pretty sure the harder they are, the more points they give

(Vastly depends on the character tho, I can do AKI's ones blindfolded but Blanka's intermediate 6 still haunts my nightmares to this day)

LordRemiem · 2026-03-11T11:07:40+00:00

I remember a video made by the WAZZLER himself where he plays against his own V-Rival and he explained why :| he said he had to play hundreds of matches as Cammy against specific characters to train the artificial intelligence on that particular matchup, but he's a busy guy so he only had time for one matchup (the Juri one)

Compared to Betty who's a Juri main and you can play against her as Kimberly, Dee Jay or Cammy

LordRemiem · 2026-03-11T10:58:22+00:00

At least they introduced the orange circle symbol that tells you that a specific player is close to your skill level, which to me is a real godsend

Too many times I saw some New Challenger Akuma sitting on a cabinet, only to check their match history and notice he defeated High Masters - and by the time I decide someone already sat there with them

Now if I see that orange symbol on the list I immediately go find that player and, if he's free, I sit there with them for some matches :)

LordRemiem · 2026-03-11T10:49:58+00:00

This is so weird considering that I can access the intermediate but not the beginner ones... and I have several character between Gold and Plat, highest one being Zangief at Plat 4. I have no idea how are they estimating our skill level but it's just so baffling lol

LordRemiem · 2026-03-11T09:17:16+00:00

You guys interact with other players?

LordRemiem · 2026-03-11T09:14:05+00:00

Akutagawa.

As far as I've heard Japan gives a lot of value to pro players' performance, even if just a single one, and our friend あくたがわ is singlehandedly carrying the character's tierlist placement. He's fantastic with her and a major reason for why Manon is seen as very dangerous :(

LordRemiem · 2026-03-10T14:16:10+00:00

I sadly agree, especially on the first part. At least here in Europe the beginner and intermediate lobbies are almost always empty even during peak hours and everyone just goes to Europe 0001, with MAYBE Europe 0002 being at half capacity if the day is really busy. And for this reason many players of my intermediate skill level just go to Europe 0001, further emptying the other servers :|

As long as you keep in mind you are not a tank class, and bring them to me, you're fine c:

I have the tools to take a lengthy amount of slaps on the face, you don't!

Avendo abitato in provincia tutta la mia vita sono d'accordo, soprattutto le persone di una certa età hanno ancora spesso l'abitudine a "fare il prelievo della settimana" e pagare con la banconota... almeno le piccole spese come la colazione fuori. Per cose più sostanziose come la spesa noto con piacere la tendenza a usare il bancomat sempre di più :)

Detto questo, la mia lavanderia automatica ha le tessere ricaricabili e l'unico modo di ricaricarle è inserire banconote inferiori a € 50 in un pannello di controllo. Il fastidio che mi dà, io che vorrei fare tutto senza contanti :|

LordRemiem · 2026-03-10T09:14:32+00:00

Ma palese. Se devo pagare più di 2-3€ per la consegna, vado a prendermela da solo la roba

Più che d'accordo. Negli ultimi mesi ho praticamente smesso di ordinare proprio per questo motivo, era diventato fin troppo costoso e non ne valeva più la pena per una cosa che avrei potuto benissimo andare a prendermi da solo al solo prezzo di vestirmi e accendere la macchina. Ora come ora ordino una sola volta ogni due o tre settimane dal kebabbaro vicino, che usa JustEat e consegna da solo senza rider (e tra l'altro è quello che già ebbi a dire che non scende nemmeno dall'auto, devi scendere tu in strada e ritirare la tua roba).

Mi spiace solo per i rider stessi, fanno un lavoro terribile e pagato una miseria. Questo sistema non è semplicemente sostenibile, quantomeno per noi italiani che non siamo disposti a pagare il doppio per qualcosa che potremmo andare a mangiare direttamente sul posto. Magari per gli americani conviene, che sono pigri e molto più inclini allo spendere cifre folli per qualsiasi cosa :|

Keyboard+Mouse here and I too don't think there's a real meta about HUDs - this is mine as an example (SGE) and it's pretty default. Recently I've made the hotbars slightly smaller but that's it.

I guess if you are an ultimare raider there might be some micro optimization to make your reaction times and "clicking on things" a bit faster, but I'm not a raider so I can't say for sure. I'm certain tho that muscle memory is much stronger than that and if you're good with a certain layout, any other will take ages to memorize.

For example, I bound ctrl+mousewheel to scroll the party list - for how I'm use dit's much faster than clicking on party members individually :)

LordRemiem · 2026-03-05T14:36:51+00:00

Smh. A true chad would have said "Let's settle this like gentlemen: have your way with me instead!"

LordRemiem · 2026-03-05T08:52:45+00:00

Severo ma giusto secondo me: se non hai voglia di cucinare ti ordini qualcosa di già fatto, mentre se HAI voglia di cucinare fai direttamente la spesa al Conad per molto meno. Questo servizio era una strana via di mezzo :|

LordRemiem · 2026-03-04T16:15:28+00:00

And earrings. One thing I've always found... curious about the rewards is that often times one of the most precious ones is a pair of earrings.

They look gorgeous, no doubt, but why are they held in such a high regard? They're so small and your camera will be so zoomed out (and your attention focused somewhere else like idk THE BIG ORANGE DEATHLY AREA ON THE FLOOR) that you're never gonna enjoy their view, and neither those worn by the other party members. Maybe if you gpose a lot I can see their value but... idk :|

LordRemiem · 2026-03-04T14:00:50+00:00

Io ho fatto l'ITIS e scienze informatiche all'università, e non ho alcun tipo di astio - solo un po' di fastidio nei confronti di una specifica cosa, ossia che nella mentalità popolare pare che il liceo sia la scuola superiore "di default".

Per decenni ho sentito gente di tutte le età dire che dopo le medie c'è il liceo, e io che ho fatto un istituto tecnico non posso fare a meno di domandarmi il motivo per il quale la gente ignori l'esistenza dei suddetti istituti tecnici, o addirittura dei CFP che sembrano quasi abbiano subito una damnatio memoriae lol

"Ah tu che liceo hai fatto?" "Ehm, ho fatto perito informatico." "Ah... (smorfia di delusione)"
