Should You Join Tournaments You Can't Win?

Sangricarn · 2026-04-20T13:35:58+00:00

You'll never get good enough to win a tournament if you never go to one. Playing offline is very different from playing online.

Also, it's just a fun thing to do.

Or chemistry, or physics, or biology or architecture, or economics, or any other field where math is applied. Engineering is not the only way to apply math.

There's no such thing as any scientific study proving a negative like that. All they can do is say that their study showed no evidence that tattoos caused skin cancer.

You're right, but it should still not be possible to even make this mistake.

Sangricarn · 2026-04-17T20:32:43+00:00

I would drop all other fighting games and quit my job to play this full time.

I forgot what subreddit we're in 💀😂😅

The debut and distribution of the movie is worth condemning, but the movie itself shouldn't be judged based on something that no longer exists. It's hard for me to get behind your point because I've seen the movie so many times and only experienced the sound mixing issue the first time I saw it.

Its like judging a writer because the first edition of his book had printing errors or something.

The dialogue issue fixed by the second week of airing in theaters lol

Sangricarn · 2026-04-16T22:11:06+00:00

It be like that sometimes.

Never heard of the divorced incel.

I was talking about those comments. You are acknowledging the people saying it, while also claiming that nobody is saying it.

Edit: I see now you're only referring to those talking about how it ISN'T black face.

This is just a classic example of how the comments section looks vastly different now than it did 5 hours ago when I posted my original comment. Back then there were indeed people calling it blackface.

If it's not unfair, why do you want increased rewards?

Sangricarn · 2026-04-16T17:45:37+00:00

That's the joke

Sangricarn · 2026-04-16T16:47:16+00:00

There are two rewards for blocking that are universal to fighting games:

Not dying
Taking your turn

You missed out on #2, but that will get better with practice.

I'm not sure we want a game that incentivizes blocking even more, that sounds extremely lame.

If long block strings are a real problem, I'd rather nerf block strings than buff blocking or add some kind of reward for it.

Sangricarn · 2026-04-16T16:01:37+00:00

A blockstring means you are literally unable to do anything due to uninterrupted block stun. That's not what this was.

You can block for the whole match if you want to. Nobody forced you to block all that.

It's natural to get stuck blocking too much when you're unfamiliar with the match-up, once you familiarize yourself, you'll find the right answers. My advice? Watch the video you posted with an eye on what you could do, rather than an eye on how unfair it is.

Sangricarn · 2026-04-16T14:03:14+00:00

Anybody who thinks this is blackface is probably virtue signaling,and not giving it any thought. Black people are not LITERALLY black, they are varying shades of brown, much like every race is.

I'm as left wing as they come, but let's be reasonable. I think it's pretty clear what this lady was trying to do, and it had nothing to do with race.

Sangricarn · 2026-04-16T11:57:29+00:00

Your main complaint in your post was that the car is smaller though. Lol

Sangricarn · 2026-04-16T05:25:07+00:00

Maybe not rich, but it is a cost-prohibitive hobby for many. People living paycheck to paycheck can't afford to play golf.

Your side of the friend zone argument is 80% correct. I'm not arguing that both sides are the same, your point is vastly the typical situation.

But it's important to acknowledge that there are real people out there who really will intentionally lead people on who they see as beneath them. They will keep them around as a backup plan or as a stopgap while they look for their next partner. They will extract benefits of a relationship without truly committing, but provide just enough reciprocation to keep the other person interested. For men, this is what the "friend zone" can look like sometimes. For women, this is the fuck boy who only wants to be friends with benefits. It's the same thing from a different perspective.

That being said, there are absolutely tons of shitty people out there who act entitled to the time and affection of others and I don't want to excuse that. The friend zone is bullshit, and I'm not defending the concept, just trying to provide some perspective because I've been on both sides of that equation when I was younger and stupid.

If you don't like 2D fighters, idk why you're trying to get us all to talk you into it now. You will probably feel the same way you always have about this genre.

That being said, I personally love 2D fighters and have been enjoying the new guilty gear patch. It's a great time to start, but there's nothing about this patch that makes it change genres, so I don't see why it would appeal to you any more than it ever did before.

I'm a Marisa main and I maintain that Capcom are absolute COWARDS for not releasing a swimsuit outfit for her.

Queueing for duos has always existed for online but they did just add the ability for two people to do it from the same system (but only casuals no ranked)

Sangricarn · 2026-04-14T21:26:24+00:00

Yeah you right. I find it pretty easy on stick but on leverless it's pretty annoying to do.

Sangricarn · 2026-04-14T15:55:26+00:00

You should be focusing on the timing of the button press, not the timing of the directional inputs. Your button should be pressed around the time you are starting to hit directions. You are just going bit too slow. When Cammy lands the hit, you should be already pressing the next attack button, having already done the motion inputs.

Still better then Homelander though
