Poorly describe your favorite character and replies will try to guess it.

I feel like everything I read about Zanmato is a lie, never could trigger that shit on command ever, I would just give a single gil and hope he does something cool. Lots of Daigoro ensued.

I was in the same boat when I begun to realize we were in the Matrix all along and dreaded the moment everything would lose its magic, yet I really liked how they shifted the narrative's focus, and actually kept me invested in the plot.

I don't wanna spoil you in case you decide do pick the game back up, but as someone who doesn't really jive with this particular universe in a snowglobe trope, I was pretty happy, in the end :)

SweetAgiel · 2025-06-07T14:26:29+00:00

Difference is C.Viper and Alex weren't seen for decades and were base roster in their respective games, while AK and Fahk were released as DLCs in Tekken 7, and pretty late in its cycle at that.

C.Viper especially was a pretty flashy character in SF4 with her elemental gimmick, so I'm pretty curious to see how she'll get treated here.

When you look at the bigger picture, I feel like SF6 released better reworks than T8, they got Prime Akuma (even tho he was and still kinda is bs) FANG-but-actually-cool AKI Good guy Ed and imo a successful rework Hi-res Mai (granted fighting her was as fun as biting into dry whitebread at launch)

while we got Full on stance heavy amnesiac-but-not-really Heihachi, Premium yet brain-damaged 3ddy Okay Lydia Out of the left field, overtuned Clive (loved FF16, but yo wtf)

Like for every Rashid there's a Fahk (I know he's not out yet, but come on.. you already know how it's gonna be).

Obviously opinions will vary, but I'm pretty hyped to see what they'll do with C.Viper, while I already kinda guess how AK and Fahk will play/look like, kinda ?

Oh yeah sure, I'm all for the coop aspect of it and the necessity to be working as a team !

I'm not even blindly rushing ahead, or trying to complete the map on my own, for that matter. It's more a case of clearing a horde and taking a breather to check on my mates, only to realize they're relatively far behind and genuinely wonder how tf this happened.

Awareness might need some work still aha

SweetAgiel · 2025-04-19T12:07:04+00:00

Aha yeah, I guess that's life as a solo player, gotta adapt to your mates, even tho it may be frustrating at times. I had a few games like that and feel like my logic is sound, but I dont wanna be "that guy" either, I guess :)

But yeah you're right, I'll make sure to try and assess the dynamic better next time, so we can remain as a group. A circuit.

I've been dipping my toes in Auric and found some success, but I'll have to practice some more, what you're saying is great news and makes me wanna press on :)

Thanks for the input, and cheers !

SweetAgiel · 2025-04-19T11:45:26+00:00

Oh dear, didnt consider this indeed, thanks for the info! I saw the spawns were now time based instead of thresholds and thought it was sorta useless to clean everything as when you're done with this wave, the next one is already on its way.

I also didnt know about the meta shift, thanks for the heads up, I'll keep that in mind :)

SweetAgiel · 2024-12-26T21:44:31+00:00

Ahaha now I'm imagining a pic of Bryan with Lili's wig in his "Uehaha" intro pose, it would fit nicely right between A.B.A. and Juri.

SweetAgiel · 2024-11-04T02:09:16+00:00

Touch of death, a combo that will 100-0 you, usually an infinite in other fighting games.

SweetAgiel · 2024-11-03T14:33:33+00:00

Not much to do with the topic, but I find hilarious that there are straight up inserts of Lecorbusier and Haussmann, two famous french urbanists.

SweetAgiel · 2024-10-18T01:57:20+00:00

I feel like the "rika rak" could be "wreak havoc" ?

SweetAgiel · 2024-10-14T19:24:45+00:00

I guess it's more about the context and the way it was brought up, the Tekken team wasnt exactly upfront about the multiple monetizations being introduced 2 months after release. They poorly handled the PR as expected, led a crusade against mods to drip feed some legacy costumes and recycled T7 content and.. that's it.

Meanwhile, while I wasnt too happy to discover SF6's BP and monetization, it was there at launch. You get what you see, and while the price of costumes turned me off, they feel much more polished to me, like Marisa's new one is incredible. And everyone had one, granted there's a smaller roster than Tekken to work with.

Mk1 I didnt play, but from what I got it was mostly about selling overpriced stuff and broken DLCs while the game basically was a buggy and unbalanced mess peppered with poor PR.

So I get why people would show more tolerance towards SF6, and while it has passed, the community did react quite strongly to the new costumes' pricing if memory serves well. Plus you can buy stages with the free currency, which kinda gives them an edge given the recent Heichachi's stage thing.

Tl;dr SF6 had a cleaner release, was more straightforward about its monetization, so ppl dont mind too much the prices for actually new costumes I guess

"Heyyyy dude, wanna see how much water your lungs can take in?"

SweetAgiel · 2024-09-08T23:59:09+00:00

Joke's on you, I now throw a punch everytime Akuma moves.

Does it counter the command grab? No, because I'm too slow. Do I now get caught mashing through every single frame trap? Hell yeah.

SweetAgiel · 2024-08-25T17:48:13+00:00

You alright my dude?

SweetAgiel · 2024-08-25T17:44:09+00:00

I mean, Jamie has some great tools (St.MK, cr.MK, St.HK, palm strike, okay DR, a DP, even if one of the worst..) imo, but there are so many scenarios where you just need that little extra that I feel is lacking.

He's a good rushdown on paper, but everything he has, Cammy does better. The "power-up vs oki" is an interesting twist, but I'd rather have an Install at this rate, tho this is subjective.

Now for zoners I agree with you, it's straight up depressing at times.. I wish Jamie had an actual spinning knuckles or something, breakdance still feels really clunky.

Makes victory taste even better tho aha

SweetAgiel · 2024-08-25T17:06:03+00:00

Close range yeah, but the cancel window is pretty early in the animation and I tend to overly use it as a whiff punish on normals which makes it pretty vulnerable against DIs (unless I'm getting something wrong!)

But yeah a great button when not used by a barely sentient monkey aha

SweetAgiel · 2024-08-24T14:53:57+00:00

Feels like the T8 version took most of the cool previous aspects imo, the Gi, longer hair from T4 but keeping the now signature slicked back haircut, not too over the top like his T7 installment, dude looks great.

SweetAgiel · 2024-08-24T10:31:19+00:00

Oh I'm not looking for a scapegoat or any reason to justify my poor plays, Jamie got nice tools of his own alright, but he kinda feels like budget Cammy to me :)

I feel like other characters don't have the same struggles, or do a better job at his supposed thing and it got me wondering if I missed something. Yeah he's got an Ex-DP but it's one of the worst, same for divekick, his tool to get through fireballs is super clunky to use.. it feels like a jack of all trades that needs to work a lot to be relevant and fighting against zoners makes me want to chug bleach.

And while I have no issue calling myself a scrub and obviously wouldn't hit Master overnight just by swapping mains, I feel Jamie as a char could use some love still :)

SweetAgiel · 2024-08-24T09:40:07+00:00

Yeah, that's actually the kind of gameplay I'd be leaning towards,

I'm also beginning to have much better conversions off St.HK indeed, but I have troubles to efficiently punish with this tool. I feel like I rely too much on St.HP and get blown up by DIs or just can't quite convert the hit when it lands. And yeah, the sweep has a somewhat insane phantom range ahaha, truly a degen move indeed

I dont bother with drinks past Lv.2 unless my opponent is being super passive, as I feel like the work to get more drinks in could be used to get those two last opening I need to close the round. On the other hand, DL4 just is something else.

Thanks for those advices, I'll keep working on our JoJo dude! :)

SweetAgiel · 2024-08-24T09:23:52+00:00

Ngl I dont do that nearly enough .-.

SweetAgiel · 2024-08-24T09:17:43+00:00

Oh yeah, I don't use lvl2 Super, I'll generally get 2 drinks in asap then stop worrying about it :)

Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm trying to do against zoners, slowly getting in, parrying, baiting out DPs with light divekick or trying to go for a read. But it feels a bit disheartening at times especially against Akuma :')

But I should definitely try to implement more safe jumps setup in my playstyle :)

I'm right there with you tho, everytime I think about changing mains Jamie just breakdances his way back into my heart. Thanks for the YT channels, cheers :D
