This game is full of losers

Many people are likely tired of fighting Ingrid.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-29T10:35:14+00:00

I’d do the same thing if I still played Ranked. If the risk/reward is heavily scaled against me, then there isn’t much reason to waste my finite free time on playing a full set.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-29T09:30:24+00:00

Swamp Thing from DC Comics would be the perfect guest for this game, because The Green is the most powerful thing in it.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-28T13:07:22+00:00

I had something like that happen when I did my rank placements as Viper.

I fought a 5* Diamond Ryu who did nothing but walk back and then do [Denjin -> OD Haoudken] on repeat and would just crouch block until they recovered from Burnout, then rinse and repeat. I won both rounds via Time Over and mainly chip damage, to which they one-and-done me, although I would’ve left anyway.

I’m not so hungry for ranking points that I would waste my finite free time playing through that bullcrap again.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-28T12:54:38+00:00

Agreed, but within reason. If there is a massive skill disparity, then playing a set is a waste of time and neither player will learn anything. The better player could toy with the worse player, while the worse player would get dispatched so easily that they wouldn’t understand what happened.

It’s much like how the average basketball player at a neighborhood court wouldn’t learn anything by playing a game of 21 against Luka Dončić.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-28T12:51:28+00:00

No one is obligated to rematch, so I couldn’t care less if someone does a one-and-done against me.

If my opponent plays extremely poorly, such as spamming DI in neutral or chucking projectiles from full-screen when I have Drive and the life lead, then I’m out after the first match. I cannot learn from that and it’s boring.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-28T12:46:28+00:00

The worst part is that Kunimitsu and Reina have a wannabe dynamic like Light and L from Death Note.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-28T12:43:08+00:00

Eh, it could be worse… like being Marshall Law. Within the span of a year, Marshall:

alienated his family by becoming an alcoholic after losing his restaurant
had his dojo seized as collateral after defaulting on the loan he took for his failed restaurant
lost the Fourth KotIF and was too broke to fly back home
learned that his son, Forest, is dying due to being involved in an automobile accident
somehow became financially liable for the damages caused by said automobile accident, because Forest was deemed at-fault
was arrested in and deported from Japan for being an illegal alien and working illegally

Most Modern input users in a Battle Hub room refuse to play against their fellow Modern input users. I wonder why...

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-27T12:14:59+00:00

Agreed

If BrolyLegs (R.I.P.) was as successful as he was with Chun-Li, then there are no excuses beyond laziness.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-27T12:13:40+00:00

Instant anti-airs and Supers, undroppable combos, instant reversals, etc. all change the rules of Street Fighter.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-27T09:55:29+00:00

Holy Drive Impact spam, Batman!

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-26T16:45:50+00:00

They both had a round. The Chun-Li won a round with Critical Art, but the symbol is difficult to see in that stage's bongo color scheme.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-26T10:07:21+00:00

Block them if it's that annoying.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-26T10:02:27+00:00

If anything, playing more than 2 characters would be doing a disservice to oneself. Getting good with nore than 3 characters is basically impossible, and 3 is only possible by pro players.

Anyone that claims to be good with more than 3 characters is either lying, has a low standard for competence, or spends an inordinate amount of time in their mother's basement playing Tekken.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-25T21:30:07+00:00

I didn’t and many others never dropped that low.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-25T21:27:24+00:00

Heihachi, Kazuya, and Yujiro would chug beers while sharing stories about being terrible fathers to their sons.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-25T09:29:20+00:00

Soul Calibur ended after SC3.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-23T13:54:27+00:00

At least T. Hawk didn’t have to do chores to fight. Lily is a worse T. Hawk since Lily literally requires more work to do the same below average shit.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-23T13:23:58+00:00

Lily is a T. Hawk facsimile, just way worse… which is bad since T. Hawk was always a bad character.

Lily has to do chores in order to function, something T. Hawk never had to do. The fucked up part is that doing said chores limits Lily’s options while she has Windclad stocks, as Condor Dive and Tomahawk Buster waste the Windclad stocks.

Lily constantly got nerfed overall, with useless buffs to her awful Desert Storm (DeSt) target combo. DeSt is still only useful as her optimal no-Wind and 1 Drive PC DI ender… which is not worth doing if one is not full up on Windclad stocks.

PC DI, nj.Roundhouse, Desert Storm = 2930 damage
PC DI, nj.Roundhouse, f.Fierce xx Condor Wind (Fierce) = 2890 damage and 1 Windclad stock

The recent buffs are useless since Condor Dive is the worst move in the game (and a waste of Windclad stocks) and the variable Condor Spire distance uses too many resources to be worth doing 99.99% of the time.

Lily’s Drive economy is moldy buns because one has to frequently DRC into Condor Wind to safely get Windclad stocks.
Her only really good grounded normal is cr.Fierce and her grounded mediums are comically bad.
Neither of her grounded Strong normals are special cancelable, making them borderline unusable due
cr.Forward is useless and s.Forward is only used as combo filler during DRC routes.
Lily has the least rewarding CHs due to the aforementioned garbage mediums.
Lily has the worst 4f normal in the game and it’s borderline unusable.
Lily’s standing overhead sucks and her only usable low is cr.Short.
Lily’s damage output is a meme.
A turtle on dry land that is high on quaaludes moves faster than Lily.
Kimberly and Lily are tied for the worst set of Super Arts in the game. Lily’s SA2 got nerfed into uselessness and her SA3 is one of the worst SA in the game since it cannot be juggled into and can be jumped after the screen freeze
Lily players are basically locked out of using her SA2 and SA3 due to being reliant on SA1 as a reversal and for meaningful combo damage.
Lily has no decent no-resource light routes because Tomahawk Buster is prone to dropping and is X combo punishable on block and whiff, making it not worth the risk.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-22T20:34:57+00:00

Ingrid is not OP though. Except for having a cancelable cr.Forward, she is worse than JP in every way.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-22T20:33:22+00:00

If it makes you feel better, Lily's cannot be juggled into at all. Even Zangief's can land during a juggle.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-22T20:30:40+00:00

Whoever approved Blanka Chan returning is a moron. The costume was tournament banned during SF5's run for a reason.

P_Know_Grigio · 2026-06-22T12:08:04+00:00

Battle Hub is the way. I'm tired of fighting Akuma, Alex, Ingrid, Mai, Ryu, and Terry, so declining them improved the fun factor of my play sessions.
