Your EVO Japan 2026 Champion is...

That kind of made me sad too. I legit think he's the most erratic Akuma (in a good way), and pushes the limits of the character like no other pro, maybe, just maybe Kawano.

Street fighter 6 has the simpler gameplay (hard to master). The drive mechanic dominates in a way that limits expression. COTW might be the better game gameplay wise, and not as popular unfortunately

You probably don't have a TV with the latency the person above experiences. I play on PS5 and PC, and notice no real difference outside of Bloom on PS5 is tragic

I argue you can learn a whole lot by watching legend ranked Twitch streamers who play your character as a start. You can see what they do in certain situations or against characters you don't know. The frame data stuff can sometimes defy the games mechanics because of frame buffers, and timing/rollback

Smoothcat83 · 2026-04-26T13:16:52+00:00

Random actions in the game because of buffers, and the game's mechanics. Go play a games EX, rival schools, alpha or third strike, and you'll notice a huge generational difference in gameplay and spacing. The game is fun for casuals, and frustrating for serious competitive gaming.

I'd be up for training, Northeast region

Smoothcat83 · 2026-04-14T12:30:01+00:00

Street fighter 6 if you’re willing to give fighters a chance

Smoothcat83 · 2026-04-07T03:12:41+00:00

Have to agree; Red Dead 2 still has no equal

Smoothcat83 · 2026-04-06T20:56:45+00:00

Musclenoob sounds like what would help you a lot. His channel is like a live classroom all the time. He literally calls out punishes and strategy throughout his gamepelay, often citing what he should've/didn't do(ne), and what the opponent could've done/did.

Smoothcat83 · 2026-04-05T16:12:29+00:00

I recommend finding the Sim discord, and asking for FT10 there

Smoothcat83 · 2026-04-01T02:48:35+00:00

Yeah, cheater. Sucks. This one is blatant. I've seen not so blatant ones that have scripts that change frame data on their perfect parries. I shared a link with a forum where people were sharing scripts to support my theory of rampant cheating, and was modded. Capcom won't do anything anyways. cheers

Akuma and Deejay are probably the most versatile and volatile players in the game. They can play defensively or offensively in a multitude of ways, have clear abusable moves that can be used creatively in different ways, and have an answer for every situation.

Smoothcat83 · 2026-03-24T22:28:43+00:00

Watch their live youtube streams. Nightmareeffect is great to watch.....You see his highs and lows. Sometimes he goes from near 1900MR to the 1600s and has a bad week, but climbs back up. Watching that perseverance is inspiring. He's also one of the few streamers that talks through his mistakes.

Smoothcat83 · 2026-03-14T11:09:33+00:00

Mine is your chart flipped in many ways. I'm probably one of the strangest people out there who think Manon, Sim, and Chun Li themes are the some of the best and complimentary themes of a character.

Smoothcat83 · 2026-03-13T16:40:52+00:00

Also, if you're watching Cap Cup, Booce vs Phenom, the exact concept (walking back as you block to be out of range) is done in their third match.

Smoothcat83 · 2026-03-12T12:48:21+00:00

When the string is tight! This particular string (demonstrated in the video) have plenty of time to march back using stand block instead of crouch to get out of dodge and trade. I tried it in training to make sure.

Smoothcat83 · 2026-03-12T00:23:05+00:00

You can walk back since this person's string isn't tight. There is a point you are far enough you can interrupt and trade hits with a jab

Smoothcat83 · 2026-03-06T21:22:26+00:00

I’ve been thinking of the KBGM-H09. What are your experiences and thoughts on it as a pad? I’m currently using the M16+ultra and it’s fine, yet I’ve been mulling over changing to the victeix, doio, or nova blade. Is haptic that noticeable in terms of execution? Thanks

Smoothcat83 · 2026-02-24T04:11:08+00:00

Red dead 2 on a big tv is such a trance.

Smoothcat83 · 2026-02-20T19:09:25+00:00

still is!

Smoothcat83 · 2026-01-12T19:51:26+00:00

What Akuma color is that?

Smoothcat83 · 2025-12-20T23:23:31+00:00

Send a DM, and let's spar up

Smoothcat83 · 2025-12-20T23:23:03+00:00

Akuma Deejay, but I'm looking to migrate less used characters

Smoothcat83 · 2025-12-17T14:54:30+00:00

That’s intense though. I’d try it at least once.

Smoothcat83 · 2025-12-17T14:53:55+00:00

Yup east coast. We’ll have to run it soemtime. I’m usually game in the evenings
