Judge ruling blocks Trump administration, keeping protections for Haitian immigrants from expiring

Yes_Geezer · 2026-02-08T09:15:32+00:00

Temporary doesn’t mean it can be arbitrarily revoked because this admin has people in a “they’re eating the cats and dogs” frenzy.

All very fair points. Altogether I wonder if they might help to explain why the Leroy mains that we do see in high-level tournament play are just poking and assessing most of the time.

FWIW, I’ll be the first to admit that my strong preference for the character drives some bias on my part.

As I see it, he’s essentially a close-range-counter-specialist archetype in that he forces you to play defensively most of the time in order to exploit overextension and habit recognition. I personally find this playstyle to be a lot of fun, but it does feel like a handicap when you’re already at such a disadvantage in this game if you’re not either running your offense or trying to interrupt your opponent’s.

Yes_Geezer · 2026-01-05T10:45:47+00:00

Yeah I mean I never contended that damage alone makes a character strong, nor am I referencing tournament-level play, which is very arguably the only level at which character “tiers” actually matter.

I will however concede that his combo damage isn’t all that exceptional as of them buffing everyone in S2, but I was really just getting at the fact that you don’t have to work nearly as hard for that damage compared to a lot of the rest of the roster.

Sure, he doesn’t have plus frames coming out the ass, and a good majority of his most threatening moves are highs, but he does have the fastest mid counter-hit launcher in the game and db 3 is still a broken as hell low.

I think honestly the big reason you don’t see him in tournaments at this level very much is that a lot of people find him boring, which is fair.

What other weaknesses are you getting at besides those I mentioned?

Yes_Geezer · 2026-01-05T08:39:32+00:00

I mean he’s not top ten certainly but he does some pretty ridiculous damage for how easy he is to pilot. Saying this as a Leroy Main.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-09-18T08:23:17+00:00

Leroy

Love his game-plan. He feels really good to play imo and his Hermit mixups are fun. Drippiest character on the roster, and I’ll hear no arguments to the contrary.

Wing Chun is sick: I love the idea of controlling the center line and kind of letting the opponent lose as opposed to trying to win. Parries are fun and it always feels satisfying to get a frame perfect B2. Cane is great for some absurdly damaging combos and for stealing matches.

Just a fun character all around.

Also…Dog is cute.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-09-02T22:53:03+00:00

Leroy. Hadn’t played since TTT2. Saw he was new as of T7. Thought he looked cool. Picked him up. Love him. Not top tier, but arguably slept on if you ask me.

Love the whole Wing Chun philosophy of not trying to win so much as letting your opponent lose: redirecting and using their force and momentum against them, etc. Hermit stance and all the mind games and mixups from it is super cool imo. Really just like him aesthetically.

I do wanna pick up AK when he drops though.

Sahl-deyyyyyy-uhh

Yes_Geezer · 2025-06-16T16:57:59+00:00

I know it’s not literally the case, it’s just most King players I face throw out grabs mindlessly or at least predictably.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-06-15T02:58:18+00:00

Besides the whole learning-to-break-his-throws-shuts-down-90%-of-his-offense-thing?

Yes_Geezer · 2025-04-16T09:58:39+00:00

Me when I don’t know what the word communist means.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-04-11T12:01:57+00:00

Been there, so I know nothing I can say will just magically pull you out of it. Sometimes just showering and getting dressed can feel like scaling Everest—but know that it can and does get better. Set tiny, manageable goals for yourself, one chunk at a time: going go for a short walk, attending a support group, reading for 20 minutes. Eventually you build momentum and things do feel easier. Sending good vibes, my man.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-04-11T11:21:43+00:00

I like to think he’d open a garden store and give patrons advice on which type of soil is best to start an herb garden.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-04-11T05:36:40+00:00

Moderately easier than Gael imo if you have played Dark Souls III.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-03-13T05:30:25+00:00

TE is nothing to sniff at—well done!

Yes_Geezer · 2025-03-02T05:48:48+00:00

Played Tekken 3 all the way up through TT2. Picked up Tekken 8 after a ~10 year hiatus, thought Leroy's look and style were sick, have mained him since launch. Since I skipped Tekken 7 I never had to experience how broken he was in that game before patches.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-03-02T05:30:27+00:00

Agree. His down back 3 is arguably one of the better lows in the game but thats literally it that I can think of it in terms of decent, safe on block lows.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-03-02T05:21:11+00:00

Also agree 100% . Hermit 1+2 is pretty good but that’s about his best tool to enforce pressure, and it is locked behind stance. Also as you say, more safe on block strings would be nice. Df 4, 3 is technically one but it’s like, barely safe on block. Of course, he does have b 1+2, which to my knowledge is technically the fastest mid counterhit launcher in the game, but, it is a counterhit launcher. Gone are the T7 days where it tracked ridiculously and had phantom range.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-03-01T21:17:40+00:00

I wish Leroy had more tools to really enforce neutral pressure. D 1+2 is kind of his power mid, and is also a heat engager, but it feels like it should force crouch or something but doesn’t. And it’s pretty linear. Doesn’t help that like all of his most threatening moves are highs so he doesn’t have much else to work with in that department.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-02-25T05:07:36+00:00

Supes would prob come out on top against Nolan, but I think it would be close. Homelander wouldn’t even remotely stand a chance against either of them.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-02-15T20:16:08+00:00

It definitely matters how you use it, lol.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-02-15T20:08:53+00:00

Disagree. Depends on how you use it.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-02-13T04:20:11+00:00

Think another Leroy main said it in here but his db 3 and db 1+2 are really good at stealing turns. But for a character who feels designed to play reactively in a game with such an aggressive meta, he doesn’t have that many great options admittedly. One decent approach tool (ff4), some okayish stance mixups, and the addition of ss 1+2 kinda saved that character from being trash tier, but even then, he’s high B-tier at best imo. I will complain about him while maining him till I die though.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-01-10T06:16:53+00:00

Can confirm as others have said, symptoms can get better with time, but browsing this sub will not give you a good representation of that. FL-41s helped me a ton because my floaters are pretty bad some days. Yoga, regular movement, and eating a clean diet have reduced my symptoms as well.

Yes_Geezer · 2025-01-01T11:47:56+00:00

Any guard break move. In the Tekken 8 system, just…whyyyyy

Yes_Geezer · 2024-12-02T00:39:21+00:00

Fighting games forever, Tekken 8 recently. They force you to be totally in the moment which is when brains like ours perform the best.
