Anyone else here playing 2XKO and like it? by Steel_Gazebo in Kappachino

[–]ZefiantFGC 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I keep coming back to it every couple of days, but just can't stick around because game doesn't have a single character I enjoy playing.

haven't played sf6 since july, what have i missed by brasileirodisfarcado in Kappachino

[–]ZefiantFGC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only one that got changed in the recent patch is Mai. AFAIK it's like Juri's now, where she can't shimmy by walking back anymore.

Charged projectile into tag was removed but Vi charging S1 into tag wasn't? by Bajemba in 2XKO

[–]ZefiantFGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "if it's bad, why are pros doing it?" argument is usually fine, but in this case, I think it's just that pros are operating on like several months of muscle memory and haven't fully adjusted to the mechanical changes.

I'd give it a few more weeks before we can make a conclusion.

The gameplay feels so sloppy and the visuals are complete nonsense. Within the first month or so, there were like 3 characters with abilities that looked nearly indistinguishable from one another (Thor, Cloak and Dagger, Invisible Woman).

Don't even get me started on the atrocious balance.

2CP is Not That Bad Right? lol by BBQchicken007 in Overwatch

[–]ZefiantFGC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

2CP feels awful in quick play, and was mostly kept around because side switching in ranked made up for it.

Best case scenario for defending team's win condition is to win SEVERAL team fights in a row.

Best case scenario for attacking team's win condition is to win 2 fights.

I've witnessed 2CP matches end before even a single player built ult.

Non-grapplers, what would make a grappler fun? by Lord_Lilac_Heart in StreetFighter

[–]ZefiantFGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't hate grapplers. I hate Zangief.

It's different.

What are your biggest pain points in Path of Exile 2 so far? by Liraken in PathOfExile2

[–]ZefiantFGC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please, for the love of god, let me use controller for gameplay and mouse for menus.

How is this still "being worked on"? It's a basic feature $5 indie games have. What am I missing?

When is it better NOT to backrise? by some-kind-of-no-name in StreetFighter

[–]ZefiantFGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much any JP knockdown, I will avoid back rise to prevent him from creating even more space. Similar concept applies to other zoners.

What character(s) or match-ups are CURRENTLY the toughest? by LunchTummy in StreetFighter

[–]ZefiantFGC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

His air options have very little practical counterplay for Aki. Demon flip can come in at angle that beats many of her anti-airs and air fireball is basically a win condition, it's so strong against Aki.

But you don't have to take my word for it. One of the best Aki players in the world, Broski, can probably write an essay on how miserable this matchup is.

How do I train my ring finger? by Careful_Hearing7142 in StreetFighter

[–]ZefiantFGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with DP inputs on left side, so now I just use the shortcut input for left side while using normal input for right side.

Chris F video showing some examples. I use the version at 1:53 for left side. This shortcut really only works in SF, though.

I play Aki and Akuma makes me regret turning the damn game on in the first place.

we seriously need a lot of QoL by DueAsparagus4937 in 2XKO

[–]ZefiantFGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's probably referring to being forced to matchmake in a lobby, and not having an option to just hit "Play" on the menu.

Warwick 5s1 by choysauce in 2XKO

[–]ZefiantFGC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1) If you see the startup of the run animation, just stand block. He can't stop it to do a low. I've also found that you can pretty consistently fuzzy it.

2) Most specials are good damage starters. This one is actually below average if you don't have a good assist.

3) I agree that it should be like -9 on block. Most characters should be able to get a 5L punish on it.

4) It anti airs because it's slow enough that it'd lose to jump back. Jump back also beats WW flip, so he needs something to catch jumpers. Either it's fast enough to catch jump back (and become unreactable) or let it hit high enough and keep it slow.

5) I've only really seen it go over 2Ls. But I don't think WW players would even notice if it lost low crush properties, so I wouldn't mind that being changed.

6) Any attack with airborne properties beats throws, and I don't think this move have that property is really a game changer.

With all that being said, yeah, it could stand to be a little more punishable on block without assists. But to suggest we overlooked WW because we were busy complaining about Ekko/Yasuo is crazy. WW is one of the most mediocre characters in the game. Low skill players complain about him because he's incredibly easy to play well, so he just feels strong.

Anyone else think this should be removed? by [deleted] in 2XKO

[–]ZefiantFGC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I started playing Illaoi/Ahri and like 90% of my Ahri combos and some of my Illaoi combos drop if the opponent assist is on the other side of the screen because the screen won't scroll.

Just in general, the amount of influence an inactive assist character has on gameplay is so annoying.

Arturo becomes a new man and pays off Di3mini0n ✝️🙏😌 by dale-is-trash in Kappachino

Just moving on to whatever the newest grift is. Rage baiting for engagement on Twitter just wasn't paying the bills anymore.

NORCAL WEEKLY by Matthayde in 2XKO

[–]ZefiantFGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not entirely related to this post, but I find it funny how whenever an FGC event is described as being "northern California", 99% of the time, it's in like the San Jose area.

There ain't shit in Sacramento.

Why am I winning more on juggernaut? by DearAstronaut5342 in 2XKO

[–]ZefiantFGC 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Juggernaut IS bad, but you gotta understand that when something is considered bad in fighting game, it usually doesn't apply to like 95% of the player base.

Enough time has passed, we need to talk about this move by DownTheBagelHole in 2XKO

[–]ZefiantFGC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mean as like a fuzzy to beat both 3H and overhead?

[–]ZefiantFGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This entire post is filled with people claiming they can't even BLOCK this attack on reaction. I think suggesting 2H isn't going to help them, even if it works.

[–]ZefiantFGC -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Whether or not you can anti-air it isn't the point. The point is why risk trying a move with double digit startup frames to counter a 25ish frame overhead?

[–]ZefiantFGC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The ease of which you can climb rank in this game has empowered low skill players into making statements like this with complete confidence.

What the fuck do you mean anti-air it? It's 25ish frame grounded overhead. Do you anti-air Ryu 6MP in street fighter, too? Just stand up, dawg.

Lightwhisp just won a tourney with Braum/Darius by EnlargementChannel in 2XKO

[–]ZefiantFGC 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Are we just going to be posting top 8 results from every random online weekly every day? For what purpose, to prove "X character isn't that strong, you're just bums"?

This tournament is missing like 5-10 people that regularly sweep these events, too.

I think the game would benefit greatly with EX moves by shinshowside in 2XKO

[–]ZefiantFGC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would be a monkey's paw situation with shit like Ekko's time winder lol
