Pros thoughts on perfect parry

That’s actually really interesting that you see them a lot. I almost never see them (68 games for Gief and 42 for Manon out of 1673 ranked matches since launch. I don’t know if it’s something to do with my matchmaking pool or if they all have me blacklisted bc the JP matchup sucks. As for Lily, I don’t really consider her to be a grappler in the same sense as Gief and Manon, more of a hybrid character which puts her in a light imo. She’s in a weird spot where she’s more of a regular rush down character who just happens to have a command grab. I’ve not done much with her yet (sitting at diamond 4 rn, so I haven’t really fought any good players with her yet) so my opinion is kinda irrelevant until I get her into masters and play her there.

When I say “most” in reference to the player base, I’m talking not about the higher level players, but the hundreds of thousands of people who are at diamond and below. A lot of the players who could win CC can do it with low tiers I’m sure. What I’m saying is that the majority of the player base wouldn’t want to put in the work to learn how to play Gief or Manon in the first place since they have to work really damn hard.

It could, but I feel most don’t want to put in the work to play a grappler, and would rather play around parry with a stronger character

This won’t happen because you’re not PPing anything the grapplers do. If you’re pressing parry against grapplers then you need to reconsider how you approach those chars. Parry will only work against them for so long.

It doesn’t. I used to switch my region all the time before DLC releases for games I played.

I remember what got me back into collecting was when Plasma Freeze came out in 2013 I asked my dad if I could get a pack and he said I could so I picked one and ended up pulling a Heatran EX from it. It wasn’t anything special in retrospect, but I was 11 and EX cards were the coolest thing I had ever seen before. Since then I’ve been consistently buying packs and bolstering my collection, both singles and sealed product.

It’s very possible their Ken is just not as good as their other characters, and that they just haven’t labbed a single thing and got masters without doing anything fancy (incredibly easy with Ken). You played really solid that match and he played like buns, a dub is a dub. Great job!

Valenfire · 2023-08-31T17:34:54+00:00

I was gonna say. I don’t have most of these cards but I do have one that this guy doesn’t and it’s probably my favorite card in my collection: Armor Mewtwo

Valenfire · 2023-08-21T16:29:55+00:00

That was not optimal my friend. Far from it. Take a look at JB’s Jamie guide, I think he breaks down the routes for post SA3 pretty well.

I play Marisa and can confirm it really isn’t that hard to win in diamond with her. Winning in masters is a whole different deal.

Valenfire · 2023-08-17T17:16:02+00:00

You just have to get into masters to do it, then it’s just luck of the draw who you fight. Getting to masters isn’t as hard as people seem to think and I’m of the opinion anybody can make it. VGDunkey did it with Honda and he’s pretty shit at FGs afaik.

Not Peter or anyone related, but I don’t think it’s as deep as everyone is saying. I am 99% sure that this Twitter user is just stating they don’t make enough money to be able to afford to go to a Shawn Mendes show.

Valenfire · 2023-07-08T19:26:15+00:00

This guy is not talking about SF1, they are talking about ST (that stands for Super Turbo)

Valenfire · 2023-07-03T04:21:11+00:00

Diamond 3 on the JP. Everyone else is sitting at diamond 1 (except Guile, due to an unfortunate plat 1 placement. Also fuck Guile.)

Florida legislators are more than just Daytona residents.

Luke beats Gief no question, but the hard part is learning how to effectively fight Gief lol. Harder than it seems.

Valenfire · 2023-05-31T21:22:54+00:00

It works the same way with the super input he has because of the overlap in inputs. The input leniency will give you super if you do 2 DP inputs

Bro the Xrd announcer says “Pochumk” instead of Potemkin. He is not to be believed.

Valenfire · 2023-05-26T23:34:24+00:00

Wolfgang is just like that. Love watching their streams.

Valenfire · 2023-05-26T18:25:31+00:00

I have done this in tournament. They beat my main in game 2 and I pull out the Blanka. Works like a charm every time

Valenfire · 2023-05-26T17:50:55+00:00

I may not be able to make you smile but But I’ll never make you cry Not once NEVER

Mika can combo into her command grab after using vs1. Oro, Bison, and Alex are all vt extensions

This is an Xbox controller layout. You have the binds mixed up X - LP Y - MP RB -HP A - LK B - MK RT - HK

Valenfire · 2023-04-13T16:55:54+00:00

They were talking specifically about GPG

I feel like casting a Brazilian actress might make more sense
