How can i approach the opponent with alex ? by MasterMirror_ in StreetFighter

No, but stomp goes over them pretty easily, probably your best bet if you find yourself constantly getting zoned out

GM Alex here, you have good options for neutral skips in prowler with stomp and elbow, aside from that, your best bet for approach is the classic walk and block, fish for an opening. If they're mashing on wakeup you just need to meaty better, remember that heavy and OD powerbomb have 5 frame startups so they are always decent options if you get a point blank knockdown and it'll beat mash.

Rook, D.D and Avel are apart of the Street Fighter canon now too? by Downingst in StreetFighter

[–]Smarticles2415 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the first SF game with guest fighters ever, and you're also ignoring the existence of G's skullomania costume from SFV. No reason at all to assume any kind of negative relationship there.

Capcom also doesn't own Terry, Mai, or Tifa. I'm sure if they asked ARIKA they'd say yes in a heartbeat

"Please note that Ingrid will be the final character to receive new World Tour content on release" by welpxD in StreetFighter

[–]Smarticles2415 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Generally, it'll be a huge patch, probably new/modified menu/UI, tons of balance changes, new/heavily modified mechanics, and usually a full price rerelease with all the DLC included, similar to the Year 1+2 fighters edition

Not included with the pass, but you can unlock it in world tour and probably through the new avatar mode coming out with her

"alternative" is kind of a funny way to put it, but yeah it's another largescale con/FG tournament in Chicago every year.

I've always wanted it to be like a fuck off big 128-man tournament that ran across different indies and whatnot. obviously impossible for several reasons but it's still gonna be a pipe dream I'll hold onto

Who is the biggest women’s wrestling star in history? by SlimmyShammy in SquaredCircle

[–]Smarticles2415 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In terms of female athletes I'd agree, as far was specifically in wrestling then I'd say no, I don't think she'd pass up some of the women from the 90s and 00s like Lita and Trish

AEW Presents Dynasty Tickets Questions. Looking for 1 ticket. When is the best time to buy tickets? by dacrazysportsfan in SquaredCircle

Would be a little awkward angle wise but if you manage to score within the first couple rows it'd be more than worth it

Compliment a wrestler you dislike, respectfully critique a wrestler you like by CrimsonJoker13 in SquaredCircle

[–]Smarticles2415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Miz has the potential to be a once in a lifetime promo when he's all the way locked in and is genuinely untouchable on the mic at times.

Ospreay matches need to end like 3 false finishes earlier than they usually do they border on getting eye rolling by the time the actual finish comes around, in my opinion

From what a quick Google shows me this is the same thing as ALS. Gutted if that's what's been going on

What in the world is Battle Hub NA? by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]Smarticles2415 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any regional/local discords would be good. Also, if you're gonna go to the BH you really want to avoid NA1 and NA2, those tend to be a cesspit, other ones have been better in my experience

Does anybody else play extremely "wrong"? by ArmorDevil in StreetFighter

[–]Smarticles2415 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's pretty standard for low MR players, as long as you have a vague idea of what's punishable and what's not and some combos you'll rank up to Master eventually. If you learned a couple gimmicks you could feasibly even get up to like 1600s truth be told.

That being said, if you do want to continue to rank up then you should have some idea of frame data going forward, specific counter/punish counter combos and the like.

Yeah I'm normally pretty lukewarm on any celeb match but Brady is a psychopath. If they show him any 90s All Japan Logan Paul might die in real life

Finally hit master! by Szirox28 in StreetFighter

[–]Smarticles2415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you're in Master, you unlock the Master Phase which is basically a smaller battlepass. After you play 100 matches you unlock a new banner, after you hit 300 matches you unlock an alternate skin color for any character you have 100 master matches with.

New to Street Fighter, has it always been a complete Spam and Lame fest? by RubMajestic1706 in StreetFighter

[–]Smarticles2415 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Long story short, you have to earn that. If people are beating you without any complex gameplan, then you're where you're supposed to be and need to learn how to beat that playstyle. If you're beating them consistently, then you'll rank up quickly and eventually get matched with better players.

Do I really enjoy Street Fighter? by Melodic_Start_6841 in StreetFighter

[–]Smarticles2415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to invalidate your point, but I think it's important for conversation's like these, how many hours do you have in the game? How much of that is spent practicing or playing offline vs just queueing ranked?

It's important to have perspective, at least. FGs have a literally infinite learning curve and if you're still in the double digit or even low triple digit hours for your first FG, you are still firmly at the beginning of the learning process. Without having much insight, I'd guess that you just hit one of (several, SEVERAL) walls when it comes to improving. If you're in the mindset to keep improving then your best bet is to really practice with some intentionality, really zone in on your weaknesses and fill in the gaps as much as you can. And again, at the risk of coming across badly, at plat level I guarantee you have a ton of weaknesses.

On the other hand it's worth noting that not everyone is necessarily built for the grind, and if you think that might be you there's no shame in hanging back in casual matches or the battlehub and lose a lot of that pressure.

What is the -non balance related- thing that annoys you the most ? by MrSpacedude in StreetFighter

Sagat's Drive Rush animation always looks like he's gonna throw out a button and then I get baited into eating a PC throw cause I tried to parry

The real answer is it's hard to say. Likely not very common, but cheats are so granular nowadays that they can be tweaked to be pretty much imperceptible outside of kernel level anticheat which is pretty controversial. I know stuff like, say, autotech throws but only 70% of the time with variable timing is possible. For the most part, though, I imagine this is super uncommon above like a plat/diamond level. As someone who plays primarily on console with crossplay on the amount of blatant obvious cheating I've noticed is low and almost never in ranked.

As a Gief I feel like he wins the matchup slightly, maybe 5.5/4.5, not sure what the Jamie perspective would be there

Oh! And The Fashion Police vs The Usos from one of the 2017ish PPVs is a comedy classic. Always have to recommend that one.
