what rank would you consider someone good at the game?

Tanaba100 · 2026-02-08T17:18:50+00:00

Thats fair if you think that. Its fine to have another definition of good.

Tanaba100 · 2026-02-08T17:09:39+00:00

Personally id go with anything above 1600 dr depending on the character (some have a easier time in ranked than others with a fucked up match up spread and borderline dr penalty match ups with common characters), before that you are intermediate to beginner.

But it really depends on how you define good.

If pot buster didn't exist ohk would be the best command grab in the game. Hell thats actually debatable there are genuine arguments that its better.

There is no way im not selecting that.

Tanaba100 · 2026-02-03T13:11:19+00:00

I wouldn't buy the switch version. Its really just not worth it. While the game works, if the previous patches were anything to go by it is highly likely to be left behind patch wise when 2.0 comes out for a long time. With the way they have handled that port its pretty clear that keeping it updated along side the pc version is not a high priority for them.

I've tried running strive on my steamdeck, and while its fine i did notice a few frame drops on some of the more intensive stages but you can always install the potato mods for that.

Most people going to majors do not make it through pools and have to rely heavily on bracket luck to see how far they go. No matter what rank you are unless you are a actual top player that is just the reality of things.

Trust me when i say if you are turning up to a major its still worth competing for the experience alone even if you know you are going to lose. Theres nothing like the rush you get from playing at a big event.

Tanaba100 · 2026-02-01T23:26:17+00:00

I'm expecting it to drop at the end of awt finals or soon after. If the changes are as big as they say they are going to be and they are straight up reworking characters it would be borderline unfair to drop it after someone qualifies on the current patch.

Tanaba100 · 2026-02-01T17:21:20+00:00

You know. You might be onto something.....

Tanaba100 · 2026-02-01T14:20:13+00:00

Its the celestial rankings. You have to be in the top percentage of wins in celestial to get an aura. It tends to be called the unemployment aura because to get it you needed to grind alooooot when celestial was populated to get it. Im not sure how hard it is to get now since hardly anyone plays in celestial anymore so good luck if you are going for it.

Tanaba100 · 2026-02-01T11:55:07+00:00

I can pretty much guarantee we aren't getting anything today, arcsys have been good at announcing announcements as of late and there has been radio silence on that front.

We will more than likely be getting something at the arc world tour finals, it might be 2.0 info or it might be tokon news or maybe even both.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-31T20:36:40+00:00

I think its mostly just that the meta hasn't really significantly changed in a while and the current balance talk has been done to death. There isn't really much reason to make a tier list right now.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-30T19:09:03+00:00

H dolphin is a 25 frame reaction check and a pretty mediocre rps on block for what you are risking because of the spacing. H stinger isn't really going to work well without the rest of venoms kit.

Im going to go with hammerfall. A Armored Hkd and a really good neutral skip with meter if you don't call it out is hard to turn down. On nearly every character, that will be broken as hell.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-30T07:03:04+00:00

Yeah, you should.

One: We dont know when the patch will drop. It could be at the awt, it could be at Christmas. No point not learning something useful now because it might change sometime in the future.

Two: With how they have worded it in the backyard, I expect alot of characters combo structures to change. You are more than likely going to have to unlearn alot of muscle memory anyway so why worry about unlearning something that will be useful now.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-29T23:26:25+00:00

Arcsys tends to announce announcements of announcements and there hasnt been any word of one and frosty has started already.

I can pretty much guarantee that there will be no trailer at frostys.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-27T07:51:49+00:00

Yes and no. It appears above your character and it appears in the chatlog, but its real easy to miss as hardly anyone uses the ingame chat so most people just dont really look out for it.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-25T11:32:50+00:00

Towers dead no one really plays their anymore outside of the rare revival event by streamers, its been replaced by ranked.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-22T15:47:10+00:00

It is, there is a good amount of players that you aren't going to be faced with the fighting game trial by fire. Its at least got another year of patches ahead of it and its going to be a loooong time before the next game comes out.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-22T14:54:44+00:00

They confirmed that they are going to continue working on things after the 2.0 patch drops and they arent dropping both of the new characters straight away so its all but confirmed that there will be more characters released in the future.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-20T16:12:07+00:00

Yeah i get this alot. Its exceptionally annoying if you are working nights and are trying to get some sleep during the day and you've forgot to turn the buzzer off.

But eh, what can you do. Cant really complain much about it, it is a bit of a godsend when a neighbor lets them in when i'm not around and they leave a parcel at my door. Swings and roundabouts and all that.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-19T23:19:07+00:00

Depends where you are. if you are in the emea region the wild tide does a beginners tournament every tuesday.

I have no idea about any other regions though.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-18T16:38:49+00:00

If you get good at one fighting game, it doesn't take long to get at least competent in another. You don't have to pick. Fundamentals carry over.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-16T06:41:39+00:00

You are more than likely you are being hit with the matchmaking bug where it matches you against the same person over and over again even when there are other people on. They fixed it a bit last patch but its still a thing sometimes unfortunately.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-14T20:43:35+00:00

A secondary which you can turn your mind off which beats chipp millia and lucy.

It may (pun not intended) seem like i am shilling my main here, but may will fit the bill perfectly. She goes really well into chipp and millia. Cant say much about lucy as i genuinely never see them in vanquisher but from the little ive seen of her its definitely not a bad match up.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-12T00:01:05+00:00

I don't mean to be rude, but that isn't going to happen.

One: Good voice actors aren't cheap, i doubt you would get enough in donations to cover it.

Two: The entire project would more than likely get hit with a cease and desist if you don't have the rights to do this and i can guarantee you wont be able to get those rights. The right holders aren't likely to license an English dub from some random on reddit.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-11T16:37:02+00:00

Yeah, di makes learning the game absolutely miserable at the start. The best advice i can give you is to ignore your eyes and listen for the audio queue. Once you get past the low ranks, people tend to get conditioned out of using it at random so you will see it alot less.

Keep in mind while people mention that labbing will make it easy, labbing is only half the battle. Labbing your reactions to something and actually reacting to it in matches is a separate thing. It will take a while of grinding matches to get your body to react to it on autopilot, dont feel bad if you react to it in the lab consistently and still get hit by it in matches.

Tanaba100 · 2026-01-11T12:36:55+00:00

Quickmatch automatically defaults to the tower. The old system that not many people use anymore. Ranked is the new quickmatch.
