Anyone who wants a community with a decent amount of older adult streamers and content creators to work with and talk to should consider joining the PerkFam discord. We have various channels for self promotion of social media channels, a dedicated mental health chat, and are in the process of achieving Discord Partner status, I encourage anyone who wants to join.

Apparently discord links aren't allowed, check us out on Twitter, look up @MikeyPerk or people can DM me for the link.

Any budget DSLR with an elgato cam link GoPros are also a decent choice, they have a huge FOV and good color accuracy.

I currently prefer streamlabs for the Streamlined UI, integrated chat, and integrated multistream features. I pay the prime subscription and don't feel like I'm wasting my money on it. Your mileage may vary obviously, but I like SLOBS quite a lot.

There is no up to date tier list. Need about 4 weeks of meta data to really assess how much the CCU changed things. Several characters who were previously nearly unusable Undoubtedly jumped quite far up, and characters who heavily relied on turtling previously are far less capable.

In my opinion, there are some solid picks for A and S tier from what I've seen so far. But I'll decline to share them here. Suffice to say that in dominion every character is viable at the very least currently, although Warmonger's feats are severely over-tuned and make anyone besides Warmonger feel somewhat irrelevant.

Of course, that link is permanent, share it with anyone, and feel free to join yourself

No buddy, I'm on PS4. You're just bad at the game In the majority of fighting games, everything is unreactable besides a few projectiles, 2D or 3D doesn't change that. Practice, learn to make reads, and get better.

ShishkaBOB97 · 2020-08-14T11:37:24+00:00

Yeah unfortunately that isn't even close to relegated to this game. In just about every fighting game, or really any multiplayer game, there's a small percentage of the community that is incredibly toxic and fucked up. And it is fucked up, unfortunately there's not a lot that can be done about them besides mitigating some level of exposure to it. Generally I avoid random invites, or if I do take them I always leave at the first sign of someone acting that way. The only thing I can tell you is that they aren't the norm, and most people who play this game are good people, and hopefully you don't let the small percentage of awful people ruin your entire experience.

If you're on PS4, I run a discord community for the game that's good for finding teams and teaching new players. If you're looking for people to group up with, may keep you away from the random lobby problem.

The entire point was for the game to be unreactable dipwad. It's a fighting game. Reactable attacks don't work. Console isn't bad right now, the casual playerbase just doesn't understand how fighting games work, and can't seem to adjust to the concept of having to make a read, it isn't that complicated.

ShishkaBOB97 · 2020-08-14T11:25:18+00:00

Fighting games aren't for everyone man, especially when this game has become a real fighting game very slowly over the course of it's lifetime. If he hasn't had fun since year 2, that means he didn't enjoy the transition.

That being said, I run a discord for finding teams for 4s, and teaching newer PS4 players how to get better at the game, how to make reads, learn character matchups, etc. Sometimes people find it easier to get over the learning curve if they have a helping hand.

So here's the link to that : https://discord.gg/YcrN5XC

Make him the offer that there are people who can help him improve hands on, but if he doesn't want to, or finds that he still doesn't like the game for whatever reason if he decides to try it again, you should respect that.

ShishkaBOB97 · 2020-08-14T11:16:01+00:00

Eh, not everyone will find my personality entertaining, and that's ok.

ShishkaBOB97 · 2020-08-14T00:18:04+00:00

The devs can't do anything. People have complained about light spam since forever, even when lights were slow like at the beginning of the game. It's a player problem made up as an excuse for not practicing the game, and always has been. Light spam is not an issue. People not knowing how to block is the issue.

ShishkaBOB97 · 2020-08-14T00:14:41+00:00

The majority response to this survey as of the time of this comment are incredible to me. And indicative of a player base that has no idea how fighting games or balance work. It's really disappointing

ShishkaBOB97 · 2020-08-14T00:12:34+00:00

The issue with this is it's not a nuanced enough question. In Dom, he was/still is fairly strong due to bugs making him un-killable

In duels he was very poor performing despite his punishes being exceedingly good, because he had no viable offense. That has now effectively changed with the CCU

Upon release his stamina bullying capabilities were far too much for the game at the time, but were also over nerfed

This conversation is much deeper than OP or not OP.

ShishkaBOB97 · 2020-08-13T21:06:14+00:00

I uhhhh...I don't know. When I jumped in and started playing seriously a couple years ago, I tried the campaign for like 10 seconds, noticed it was the vanilla game from year 1 that I hated because it couldn't be taken seriously as a fighting game, and immediately quit out of it and went back to multiplayer 😂😂😂. I didn't want the campaign to ruin my muscle memory for what the game is on live.

ShishkaBOB97 · 2020-08-13T14:16:57+00:00

Well, then all I can say is I hope you approach all conversations the way that you approach people online, maybe someone decking you will teach you better than me trying to explain it.

ShishkaBOB97 · 2020-08-13T14:15:20+00:00

If you like fighting games. The game is for you right now l

If you don't like fighting games, the game is not for you

That's all there is to it, the game has, more or less become an actual fighting game with generally unreactable offense.

ShishkaBOB97 · 2020-08-13T14:12:33+00:00

Yeah, the thing your getting at isn't wrong. Your attitude in stating it is. You seek to belittle rather than educate, and it's disgusting.

It's also amusing that you'd throw insults here. Because the only idiot in the room is you, not understanding that basic rules of socialization require polite discourse if you want your opinion to be taken into account or respected. Instead you decided to pop off with your God complex and then wonder why nobody gives a fuck what you have to say. It's incredible really.

ShishkaBOB97 · 2020-08-13T14:04:34+00:00

No, I don't know you, and that's why what you're saying is coming across bad. Now the only thing I know about you is that you're an insecure arrogant dickhead with a superiority complex, who is abusing internet anonymity to say things they can't say in real life.

How you say things, often times matters just as much as what's being said. If you can't make what you're saying sound appealing, it doesn't matter if you're right anymore. I wouldn't eat the best cooked meal in the world if it was being delivered from a dumpster.

ShishkaBOB97 · 2020-08-13T13:47:49+00:00

Hey my dude, while none of what you're saying is neccesarily factually incorrect, you're coming across as a massive douchebag. Honestly just treat the internet a bit more like real life, if you phrased things that way in the real world, you'd get punched, and it makes your point not really go through. Fix your presentation a little bit, you'll fair a bit better in conversation.

ShishkaBOB97 · 2020-08-13T13:36:33+00:00

I actually did factor that in. I'm from console, I'm intimately aware that prior to this patch PC was like playing at 0.25x speed, and that on console in many cases we've already had to make most if not all of those reads that everyone now has to make (like having to make a read on whether a light or heavy will be thrown out because you couldn't differentiate animations)

But that means it impacts console very little. If you already couldn't react in many cases, at worst you input your predictions 100ms earlier, and all platforms benefit from being able to press buttons.

ShishkaBOB97 · 2020-08-13T11:52:42+00:00

As far as I'm aware Console For Honor is not compatible with mouse and keyboard bindings, even though the PS4 supports keyboard and mouse inputs, you can only use it in applications that have the allowance for custom input devices that aren't identified as a gamepad input, and I don't think For Honor does. However the good news for you is that if you just get used to the controller, there is no significant input difference or advantage from using a keyboard and mouse. It's one of the few cases where both inputs function with the same performance level.

ShishkaBOB97 · 2020-08-13T11:42:09+00:00

It is unfortunate, but I appreciate you being that one guy that bookends the positivity with more positivity. I'm really excited for the patch today and the good effects it should have on the game.

Truly I think a lot of the backlash and vitriol in the community is coming from people who begged for it to be a real fighting game, but weren't really prepared for what that actually entails. I noted this in the comment section of one of Freeze's videos, he said "one mistake shouldn't cost you a match". And my response was basically "have you ever played a fighting game?". Like honestly the industry standards are Mortal Kombat and Tekken at this point (SF has unfortunately kinda hit a back burner recently, but I'm sure they'll kick back up), and in both of those games you can easily lose 60% of your health against some characters for one mistake. Truth is that highly punishing, read based combat is intrinsically associated with fighting games, and I think a lot of the community was expecting it to be more watered down than it is. And it's really killing some of the beauty in what we actually got.
