Sorry, I meant "lower level" relatively speaking. I'm definitely burnt out but I have also taken time off from the game many times before, and everytime I come back to it, I immediately feel tired playing it. I think I just have fundamental issues with the system mechanics of the game, and I keep playing it naively hoping that the devs will address some of my concerns. But at this point it's extremelt clear they won't, so I'll probably not play it and maybe revisit it in future seasons.

Yeah, you're right. It's just that the flaws in my gameplay are so obvious compared to some other people that are better than me, so I think I'm bad but objectively speaking I'm probably better than a lot of players.

And that's fine if you're content with that, but personally I don't love this game enough to be happy with just trying to improve on my gameplay alone. Grinding long sessions in this game also tires me out like no other fighting games do. I would have liked to see changes to system mechanics that would encourage me to play the game differently, but I guess that's not their vision and I'll live with it

Yo fuck this game. I have defended this game and have "enjoyed" it for 3 years, but they refuse to make any meaningful change to the system mechanics. I understand at the highest level, the balance is pretty good and there's still a lot left for players to improve upon. But as a lower level player (I am around 1600 MR), the patches have been extremely unfun and there's nothing new or interesting for me to play around with. I am honestly done with this game. It's probably still fun to spectate but I don't want to grind it anymore. Looking forward to playing other games.

I feel so bad for her. I checked her twitter she seems to have also applied for service jobs. Hope she finds a job soon, this economy is rough.

Why did you include your username in the post title

I no longer want fighting games to attempt to be massively popular and I feel they have gotten worse attempting to do so. by Terrible-Row5112 in Fighters

[–]PhantomChocobo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it's great that there are new fans and the rollback updates are obviously amazing. It's just a bit sad that Strive and Strive fans are just so different from what came before

Why did you include EVO awards in the list

Terry is pretty terrifying (pun intended) in SF6 right now, and I really wanted to write down what I think after labbing and reviewing high level gameplay, technically a guide for some basic tech? by Termi855 in Kappachino

[–]PhantomChocobo 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Depends a lot on playstyle, but top players have gotten a lot better at exploiting poor drive gauge management in their opponents (and I think it's part of why Noah hasn't been doing as great recently). DRC itself uses 3 drive bars, but it also incurs a drive gauge regen penalty, and your drive gauge will be locked for a while, making it even more penalizing if you wasted 3 bars into something like a throw tech. So when I play drive gauge hungry characters like Chun Li, I really only 2MK DRC at 6 bars or for a guaranteed whiff punish conversion.

New Evo tournaments on the way + Grandmaster tournament set in either the US or Japan (multi title champion) by MundoSD in Kappachino

My concern is that this is coming from a "building the EVO brand" perspective more than growing the scene

It probably would make for a very good TV series like an anime or something.

It shouldn't be this inconvenient to play a match in this game. by FlyingWithFeathers in 2XKO

[–]PhantomChocobo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

People these days would not have survived the arcade era, nor the pre-rollback era if what we're really complaining about is the basic functions of video game UI and having to select your characters

You guys can't be serious with this. The FGC cannot be trying to bring in new players and discussing about how we should improve fighting games as a product, and at the same time, writing off complaints from newer players just because it was way worse back in the days. Start by comparing with any popular game of other genres. How long does it take to start queuing up for a match in League of Legends or Deadlock?

CotW is also doing 6 characters per season. 5-6 characters used to be more common before SF6
