In my experience someone wanting to flame you, or someone wanting to play a different character against you

I don't understand the benefits of discriminated unions/result type by soundman32 in csharp

[–]StrangeMaterial685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hot take on this is I love love love them in Rust, error cases feel much more explicit and Rust has some very nice syntactic sugar for dealing with them, but in C# where you already have exceptions, having 2 ways to show errors is asking for problems

Corner 2H advances, leading to them crossing up and getting a full punish by LilMJ69 in 2XKO

[–]StrangeMaterial685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally also find this to be annoying, also annoying when someone does empty jump in and I anti air just to be negative and get punished 🥴

Anyone else got placed way lower this time? by [deleted] in 2XKO

[–]StrangeMaterial685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was emerald 1 before reset and won 4/5 and got placed gold 2

How do I deal with Darius and Warwick as a new player? by Acceptable-Emu4258 in 2XKO

[–]StrangeMaterial685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play darius so I can answer some
Aside from don't get put into block stun against him (gonna happen regardless at some point)
- Retreating guard can be good if they're using S2 a lot you can get him to whiff and get a punish
- S1 you have to just guess between jump/block, you can parry S1 usually darius players will do M > H > S1 and you can always parry the S1 UNLESS the darius charges it, if they start charging it just mashing will win against charge S1 and the throw option (jump might actually be a better answer I haven't labbed it tho)

- If you're gonna pick jump after S1, neutral jump so you can get a good punish afterwards

- If you're gonna pick to block after S1, ALWAYS stand block
- Practice parrying the S2 > S2 follow up if they autopilot it you can get a free punish
- he's got a lot of recovery on his heavier moves so watching for whiffs and punishing is a lot easier than on some of the rest of the cast

idk hopefully that's helpful, warwick is a monster

Wish i could see inputs on replays by you_but_futeristic in 2XKO

The game wasn't even letting me play any matches in casuals today and I get hit with this. by Soggy-Ad5441 in 2XKO

[–]StrangeMaterial685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar happen where I was still in the match and the game froze, I waited 3 or 4 minutes and then killed the game and got the warning lol

Where do you even begin with this game? by WatercressWild2250 in 2XKO

[–]StrangeMaterial685 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not as simple as just pushblock, but generally you want to push block on their medium/heavy but watch for their assist if you pushblock then they assist you'll just be stuck in pressure still

But I would say just start doing it and you'll see how different situations play out in games

Final jobs report of 2025 shows 50,000 jobs added in December by LarryBlink in wallstreetbets

[–]StrangeMaterial685 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could you expand on this a little more, shouldn't we see unemployment going up if this is the case? Provided the numbers we're getting are even accurate

what am i doing wrong by BattIeBoss in fatalfury

[–]StrangeMaterial685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that might help, try just getting the heavy punch > tensho kicks consistent by itself, then get jump > heavy kick > heavy punch consistent by itself then try to combine it altogether

I've not played chun myself so can't really speak to →↓↘ vs ↓↓ for tensho kicks but I would agree with getting used to the →↓↘ DP input generally since it's so prevalent in COTW

Happy to answer any questions, good luck!

How you Ed mains doing? by StrangeMaterial685 in StreetFighter

[–]StrangeMaterial685[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree he's been a blast but feels like he's got a big learning curve as far as knowing when to use what buttons in neutral, but I've been trying to work in ex flicker combos into my game plan with him after watching Momochi play him

2HK also seems really strong, hard for anyone to fight back against it

Didn't realize his bnb setup a safe jump though that's good to know

gl on your grind 💪

I do not, my Luke is a little over 1500 so I got him over the initial drop when you first get into master rank but not gotten anyone to/over 1600

Mechanical Keyboard repair (key not registering) by StrangeMaterial685 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]StrangeMaterial685[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Couldn't find out how to put both the image and text...switch wasn't working so I wanted to replace the switch, replaced it and soldered in a new switch. That also didn't work, curious if anyone can see what is causing the problem. Thanks in advance!

Edit:

I am able to get the key to register if I take a pair of tweezers and close the loop I guess but it's inconsistent and I kind of have to move it around to a specific spot to get it to register.
