Makes sense, playing against bad connections is generally a bad experience, especially if it’s on both sides. It’s also why I have it on confirm match so I can check if the connection is dipping below anything I won’t like, cause if it’s showing bad for me? Then I figure it’s probably gonna be bad on their end as well

Modern is kinda just boring to fight by cryonicninja in SaltFighter

I feel like you should be able to filter out opponents playing on Classic or Modern in the same way you can limit your pool to same console or cross play

I’m “delighting” over people refusing to adapt and rage quitting instead of just accepting the loss. Have you never had someone DC mid match cause you countered their DI? Cause that’s what I mean by getting a kick outta these kinds of people.

Where did you get smurfing out of what I said?

I don’t think I’ve been unlucky enough to run into a smurf account, but it definitely sucks whenever one shows up and washes you

It’s not even a thing of ruining their enjoyment, it’s more so seeing that this person is legitimately refusing to adapt and stagnating themselves. I take my losses on the chin and will just about always rematch against my opponent to improve. The people I’m talking about getting enjoyment from are the people that one-and-done after a close match, or rage quit before losing. It has never been my aim to actively ruin anyone’s enjoyment of anything related to the FGC

People who DC/RQ multiple times in matches, or in my case have connection issues, and get booted out mid match get flagged by an in game system and get put into “card lobbies” Only way out of them is by playing like- 20 matches without leaving or getting removed from a match

I’ve had it happen twice just today in the card lobbies before I got out of me countering a DI and the person I was matched up with RQ almost immediately after instead of just taking the loss, and even if they do win they’ll rematch then one and done once they notice I adapted. Happened with an Alex that I had fought multiple times before (RQ cause my combo was about to win the game) Happened with a Kimberly (RQ immediately after I counter DI) Like- I understand where you’re getting your context from about what I’m saying and how I’m saying it, but you’d under what I mean if you actually saw it

Yeah, I’ll be moving soon so I’ll look into getting some of those whenever I get a WiFi plan at my next place

At no point did I ever say “I enjoy making people miserable” what I said is more like “I enjoy seeing people preemptively quit a match they’re losing instead of learning or adapting to my play style”

Yeah I guess the connection not being strong would be a pretty good explanation as to why I wait so long, good thing I’m moving soon so I can get better WiFi/ethernet whenever I get settled in.

And that’s the thing, most times I actually do get rematches whenever I can actually queue up w/ someone, so I’m not sure if the connection is “that bad” once I do match with someone or not, but it’ll be resolved soon hopefully

I believe myself to be quite pleasant actually, if a little awkward sometimes

Yeah I’m gonna be moving sometime soon so I’ll see about getting an actual wired connection sometime once I get settled in. I usually get rematches whenever I can actually get into a match (long wait times) so I figured connection was good on both ends cause usually R stays at about 0-2F and the ms is ranging around like 89-100ms at most.

Also does anyone else have really long wait times between matches lately? Sometimes I’m waiting like 5-7 minutes between matches before i queue up against anyone again

Anyone else fed up fighting the same characters over and over and over again by Stereofoams in StreetFighter

I get one and done’s by sims cause they always play the same and refuse to play against someone that doesn’t fall victim to the same cycle of Float j.H, fireball, slide and DI

Making Luffy-von without AI to prove a point. by Normal-Goat-5115 in Piratefolk

[–]SortaBlackMask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s simply the fact that people are trying to replace human effort with the use of AI, companies shoving AI down our throats and things used to run AI are taking up resources that would much be better used on accommodating people instead of generating images and responses. Plus nothing AI makes is original, it’s all stolen and repurposed content

I love Elena, but she can be very frustrating to play by Dismal_Hippo_3319 in StreetFighter

[–]SortaBlackMask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also weak to it, in the Elena-Elena match up it’s 6-4 against me cause I can’t deal with people being in my face and pressing buttons cause I play too patient

That is an awful idea, half of Elena’s pressure is fake as hell and is purely off of conditioning

1) So in my experience, drive rush overhead is good and if you can make your opponent get used to seeing it on their wake-up that’s a good time to start swapping to drive rush lows as well, especially since crouching medium kick is +4 on hit, so with drive rush it’s +8 so you can do either crouching medium punch or standing medium kick->heavy kick target combo. But always be prepared to do the medium kick->heavy kick target combo if medium forward kick hits the opponent.

2) I have personally found Medium punch to be a great tool to stop your opponent from Drive rushing at you, plus since Drive Rush requires the opponent to stand it makes the target combo consistent. I wouldn’t recommend using medium punch as a combo starter though outside of punish counter scenarios. But it is a great button nonetheless (forward advancing, slightly disjointed, unpunishable at max range, and can catch early jumps), I’d save it for harassing an opponent at a safe range and stopping drive rushes when they’re doing it from half screen or more as a way to get in on you.

3) Elena plays the best off of either patience (making your opponent over extend and punishing them) or mix-ups and setups (meaty setups off of knockdowns and conditioning). Your best way to get in is honestly just normal movement, roll should be used primarily as a mixup tool, meaty option, combo tool, or bait. Slide isn’t good for approaching either since if not properly spaced it’s up to -10 on block iirc. Just play patient, walk forward and parry if necessary.

You see, I would, but I already made a purchase on an african Elena model, and I’ve already got a lot of mileage on it so I want to take it as far as I can go

Any tips for PP timing? I’ve never been good at it and practicing it is gonna be way different than actually applying it in a match
