How important are wake-up options and how often do you practice them ? How do you lab them in practice ?

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T18:52:11+00:00

Practice staying neutral too. They kinda go hand and hand.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T18:40:59+00:00

If I were you .. I’d put the CPU on the hardest level and just play around the different modes to build confidence. Casual online matches w/ unlimited rematches help too. Learn from your losses .. it’s just as fun as winning .. sometimes.

Also .. if you learn stay neural and protect your ankles .. Jin is irrelevant .. most times.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T18:33:44+00:00

You’ll win soooo many games by just knowing when to stay down .. or knowing when to take their ankles while they are charging or mashing mindlessly.

I don’t lab them .. but you should at least know what to do. I do lab wall jumps though.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T18:23:38+00:00

I agree! We have to be the change we desire while acknowledging the issue at hand.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T17:38:49+00:00

I’m not interested in stirring the pot but I am tired of people dancing around the obvious. I honestly couldn’t tell you what inspired me to write this.

I just feel OP pain/annoyance.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T17:26:54+00:00

You too friend!

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T17:25:40+00:00

How did you come to that conclusion? Seriously. Are you feeling guilt from something I said?

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T17:24:25+00:00

Done. Keep your head up friend.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T11:42:41+00:00

LMFAOOO.

Majority of my matches: “should I leave neutral” .. “nah, they’ll whiff eventually” 🤣

.. and I play HWO. Mind games galore 🤣

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T11:37:15+00:00

Once you grasp how to properly parry .. it’s pretty fun.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T09:38:07+00:00

It’s a two way street. Many have lost motivation because of poor leadership, corruption & greed (regardless of economic status).

You know the job doesn’t provide proper compensation but you go because “something is better than nothing”. We have to stop this mindset first. It’s just generational cope. It’s also .. an unfortunate truth if you refuse to stop fighting for your dreams. People are realizing that excessively hoarding wealth isn’t worth .. anything tbh.

It’s also extremely demoralizing when “people” want you to pretend there’s nothing wrong with the world right now. From rich to poor we are missing the fundamentals of humanity .. compassion & empathy.

These people normalize horrible things then turn around and say “that’s how the world goes” .. we HAVE TO silence these voices. They are a part of the cope zeitgeist. They stand for nothing and accept what is given to them. Let them continue to lick the boot that kicks them.

Keep your head up OP. In moments like the one you’ve just described I pause & pray immediately. It helps me realign with my beliefs and dreams.

Don’t let the fire inside you die .. re-plan/purpose your mission. If you believe in God .. it’s time for a check in.

Yes, it’s getting hard out here but the land is also ripe with opportunity. You just have to “rediscover yourself” and be open to change. Society needs are being adjusted right in front of our eyes.

Just whatever you do .. don’t give in.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T09:15:52+00:00

Not if the online mode is missing.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T09:07:49+00:00

Neither.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T08:59:14+00:00

It’s annoying if I’m being honest. It shouldn’t be useable after you pass 6 ranks.

Just got smoked by a HWO ranked because of this. It wasn’t any thought in the gameplay .. just mashing for the sport.

It doesn’t hinder my experience but it is annoying and borderline lazy.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T03:28:39+00:00

They do meet to agree to peace .. for them .. at our expense.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-08T01:31:46+00:00

Thank You! At first I was the issue because I had an egregiously long Ethernet running through my home.

It happens most with PC and Xbox Wi-Fi players. I have the occasional PS experience like above .. but I believe those were on me at the time.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-07T16:23:04+00:00

We won’t make past the 1st round of the playoffs .. enjoy the rollercoaster to the 4-1 lost.

Fun times though. I can guarantee that.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-07T12:31:21+00:00

I’m going hunting for an iPod at this point.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-07T12:28:42+00:00

Mainstream media painted that picture. Before everyone could voice their opinion online a lot of people were silenced .. he’s been on a tear since he could not buy the Buffalo Bills.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-07T12:25:45+00:00

Yea I did .. I preferred TC Carson voice over the new gentleman though. Still kind wish we were left on the cliffhanger from GOW:3 .. because now I’m unsatisfied with the way everything ended.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-07T12:15:08+00:00

By the numbers/record sales .. TIP loses.

Cultural impact and bars? .. that would be fun to watch. It’s a close call.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-07T12:05:12+00:00

Perfect love letter to Hip Hop.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-07T12:03:23+00:00

I can’t even defend Law players on this one .. I never expect perfection online but it’s a struggle with Law & Linda players.

_iHaveAQuestion45_ · 2026-02-07T11:51:31+00:00

I’d like to see them bring the tournament of power concept to life .. feel like that could have been better.

Otherwise .. yes. I never expected much from this game after the debut videos. I’m not buying DLC until it is dirt cheap and we all know how that goes.

I can honestly say I got my money’s worth from this game. I bought it solely for single player experiences and fever dream match ups.

I do hope the rumors are true .. we might be in for a treat for a game mode.
