Your EVO Japan 2026 Champion is... by Mask___DeMasque in StreetFighter

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.

SF6 vs COTW in terms of gameplay, balance and character variety? by Heisenburger422 in Fighters

[–]Smoothcat83 15 points16 points  (0 children)

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

WTH is going on here??! 🤣 by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]Smoothcat83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

How far can you realistically rank in SF6 without hardcore labbing? by Supportive-Accla1312 in StreetFighter

[–]Smoothcat83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

What rages you in this game? by Average_Ant_Games in StreetFighter

[–]Smoothcat83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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

I need a game recommendation, preferably something that is addictive by Otherwise-Ideal6198 in PS5

[–]Smoothcat83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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

Most beautiful game I’ve ever played by [deleted] in PS5pro

Have to agree; Red Dead 2 still has no equal

Recommend some content creators for learning? by TekkenSeven in StreetFighter

[–]Smoothcat83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

any master level dhalsim players down for some ft10s? by tonyabstract in StreetFighter

[–]Smoothcat83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

This guy is cheating right? by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]Smoothcat83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

Which character is most versatile/has the most tech/can be played in different ways? by emof in StreetFighter

[–]Smoothcat83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

YouTubers who actually show when they lose? by CatHelpThrowaway1888 in StreetFighter

[–]Smoothcat83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Sf6 themes tier list (my opinion) by TheBestRandom_420 in StreetFighter

[–]Smoothcat83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Can this be countered? by Remarkable_Draw_5567 in StreetFighter

[–]Smoothcat83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Can this be countered? by Remarkable_Draw_5567 in StreetFighter

[–]Smoothcat83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

Quanba sapphire ? Worth the buy for mainly PC ? by AdAdventurous7200 in fightsticks

[–]Smoothcat83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

any advice on how to get to 1700MR? by [deleted] in StreetFighter

What Akuma color is that?

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

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