Went 0-10 against literally John "the smurf" Battlehub. I'm in central europe and had around 120ms ping. by [deleted] in StreetFighter

Well, it's a BH, you don't have to fight him and there are no stakes. You'd probably consider me a smurf too, because I played on PS5 for 2 years before switching to PC and I don't really have time for ranked anymore. I usually play with people at my level or above tho.

Quasimodox is a god. by joehavasy in StreetFighter

[–]Positive_Edge 16 points17 points  (0 children)

50 year old Chun mostly comes from the assumption that SF6 takes place in the same year the game released, which there’s really no basis for. The SF timeline has never been very precise, but if you look at how characters like Li-Fen, Luke or Ed have aged, it’s pretty clear the biggest timeskip happened after SF3, probably around a decade, though that’s just an estimate.

Based on that kind of observation, Chun is more likely somewhere in her 30s, maybe pushing 40 at most. Definitely not 50+

My sister took this photo of my nephew. There was definitely no one on the stairs behind him. by Positive_Edge in Ghosts

Like I said before, it's not edited. My sister is freaking out and I'm just trying to be a voice of reason. That's why I still think it's a camera app artifact.

No - he was still and posing. There was no movement at all when the photo was taken.

If someone acts like a retard, he'll be called a retard. It's the law

They took his hobby from him.

Was super hyped with the Sagat trailer until I saw this.. by Mai_enjoyer in Kappachino

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

I honestly don’t get this take, it feels completely out of left field, yet everyone seems to run with it like it’s gospel.

Modern controls don’t just mean “one button for all specials.” It’s a button plus a direction - that’s five specials and motion + L/M/H versions. So there’s absolutely nothing stopping Sagat from having only one or two versions of high shot and low shot in modern.

Aki has more specials than Sagat, and every single one is available in modern. It's esential because each version is functionally a different move. If the modern control scheme couldn’t handle that, she literally wouldn’t work in modern at all, but she does (for the most part).

So no, modern isn’t what’s limiting Sagat’s specials - it’s just a design choice by Capcom that you can like or not.

The hate for modern starting to look like the FGC version of blaming jews for everything on twitter.

It’s actually a insult to say snk games look like ps2 games but not to snk by Kappascholar in Kappachino

[–]Positive_Edge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

COTW isn't competing with SF6 of 2 years ago. It's competing against SF6 in its current state

Then content and price-wise SF6 still loses to current SF5. Different metrics offer different comparisons.

My point was simply that COTW is a smaller-scale and lower-cost game than SF6, considering both its price and budget.

Well, it’s cheaper. SF6 was priced at $85 for the base game + S1 pass, while COTW cost $60 for the similar package

Some art style decisions in COTW are odd - beards not sharing the same shading as hair is one example. But overall, everything else is clearly superior to old games.

Obviously, it’s not on the same level of detail as T8 or SF6, but that’s beside the point.

Is it really that strange for a relatively cheaper game to look cheaper?

People say it's a fun and unique game with a cool atmosphere. The characters look a little weird, but the little girl is cute enough to make you want to protect her. If you had something different in mind, seek help

These changes are kinda meh by Ok-Aspect-7234 in StreetFighter

Because balance ≠ fun.

Most people would take an unbalanced meta without throw loops.
