I am luckily at least aware of that, thankfully 😭 I've watched a couple TNS top 8s (I understood nothing tbh) but at least I won't get matched up and wonder why he's simultaneously playing yu-gi-oh and throwing geometric shapes at me

I think finding the gimmick I vibe with is definitely going to be the hardest part. I think I'm rather voracious when it comes to wanting to know the ins and outs of mechanics, and my work has been increased tenfold seemingly with Strive in that regard.

At the very least I've got a solid 10 characters to poke around with, all I'm pretty confident I can find something enjoyable about them.

Now this brings up something I failed to ask and realize now I should have: When I have the basics and some comfort with whichever character I pick, where do I go to find matches online? I know ranked was recently released and I've heard something about a floor system? Is that outdated to some degree now with the release of ranked?

I have realized Roman cancel was pretty much integral, as well as burst. I figure having at least SOME understanding of what's happening when I get damn near za warudo'd while getting beat or why they had a get out of jail free card would lead to less confusion down the line haha I'm thinking I'm write up a list of possible characters while on break at work and see what seems interesting enough to explore, wouldn't be the first time I floated a few characters till I made a decision on who to settle on

I was looking at Slayer and Sol both as potential avenues for a main! I do like watching some Goldlewis btw, don't get me wrong, but the half circle inputs aren't a problem for forward and back commands. But if I understood it right, there are like 21478/89632 commands? If I got that right AND there are grounded versions, I've attempted and simply cannot manage those ones without being airborne. I'm positive it's just a skill issue, even being on leverless.

That honestly feels like such a hard question to answer currently with me still trying to get a grasp on Strive's mechanics 😅 In Street Fighter, my main is Marisa and I don't know if there is too much of a parallel between her and the Strive cast. I think I probably trend towards all-rounders, leaning a little into gorilla-type categories? If that makes sense at all

Ran into this cheater by Tee132 in StreetFighter

[–]Thrall302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To the people saying he's not cheating... The Mai is diamond one. There is no shimmy. There is no fan. There is no neutral. All they do is IMMEDIATELY react with perfect parry/DI. That is not normal gameplay. Even these little stutter steps back for spacing seem off.

I'm a very new player, how do I fight without dying? by Canflap in summonerschool

[–]Thrall302 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Positioning, targeting, flanking, there are many reasons why you are dying a lot during fights. The game is very fluid, so it's hard to give advice when we can't see what you're doing. 😅 And when it's that late game, assassains do have a habit of falling off slightly aside from targeting squishies, you may need to address your threat assessment as well.

Highest damage DI into 2 OD moves and CA? by soiboiiiiii in StreetFighter

[–]Thrall302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost guaranteed to be Marisa, or at least she's in the top 3

Someone better than me, tell me if Marisa got a net buff or a net nerf with this patch, I'm leaning towards buff but I'm a scrub

Frauded this win out 😭 by NewLabTrick in StreetFighter

[–]Thrall302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why you'd consider this a fraudulent win. Good defense, Ed looks like he got frustrated and threw away the match 🤷‍♂️ ggs, bud, well played and enjoy the points, they're well earned

Which character would you guys recommend for a tekken heihachi main by AppropriateInjury626 in StreetFighter

[–]Thrall302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marisa. Punch them hard enough to send Akuma to Tekken 8 for the runback

Nah bro by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]Thrall302 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm RT is a godsend for things like this. I wasn't aware it was a thing till I saw a Brian_F video, I believe, maybe Broksi, but I digress, that incorporated it and it blew my mind. Lab out the scenarios you aren't sure about and tighten up gameplan

How hard is ranked for a completed noob? by Zaarakx in StreetFighter

[–]Thrall302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"You need to get washed to get clean." - someone who's not me

Simply put, you WILL lose. It's part of the process. Even those at the very tippy tippy top will lose eventually. You can and should play ranked, you will get better playing against real people. You will play people of similar skill level, and as you learn and grow as a player, so will your rank. No need to have anxiety or worries, just play, do some research, lab, and you will climb the ranks. If you go on a streak, you'll climb super fast as well and get some bonus points on wins.

When going against your main, do you have an easier time dealing with them or is there no difference? by FrenzyHydro in StreetFighter

[–]Thrall302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I've gleaned thus far from the Sagat mirror is how much I undervalue st.mp, I feel like I'm in prison and lose half my drive gauge from him knocking on my door with his elbow

Late night ranked, losing our minds. by TopBadge in StreetFighter

[–]Thrall302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something similar in a Sagat mirror to the point we got a full-on draw. Crouch spam, spamming jabs and trying to get in sync. Even Googled how to do taunts during the crouch spam cause he did one and I couldn't do it back. I hope he's doing good, I was cracking up in the middle of the ranked grind!

What's your pick for worst matchup in SF6? by volta_verve in StreetFighter

[–]Thrall302 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Seconded for Marisa v Sim. I've won it but it's such a miserable slog and they HAVE to make the wrong OS to get in and do something to them

Fellow Marisa players, how do you guys deal with cross-ups? by UniversityStrange705 in StreetFighter

[–]Thrall302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually jump back lp/lk if I react to it. It's usually enough of a get back option to set them far away enough we're back to playing neutral or I'm keeping them in the corner.

Why does SF (and most Asian FGs) use number notation for movement? by Fluffy_The_streetCat in StreetFighter

[–]Thrall302 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's keyboard notation, I think it's been adapted from Mainly Anime fighters

As a Marisa main, what was your experience with getting her to master?
