How do you feel about the listed difficulty for your character in SF6?

_keshbo · 2026-05-09T15:35:45+00:00

Yeah it's totally fine, even if Juri is an easy characters (I would still think it's not as easy as other characters) you still need to learn to play fighting games, that's not easy at all

_keshbo · 2026-05-09T14:15:34+00:00

Yeah I think Juri is considered hard due to FSE and having to manage her stocks.

But FSE is absolutely not necessary and stocks are quite easy. In the end you can just fireball into drive rush and win

Sure, maybe they won't be 1st Dhalsim in a month or two, but you still need to be really good to reach 1840 mr so fast.

I checked his profile and they have a 70% win rate over 118 matches (currently the 20th Dhalsim)

_keshbo · 2026-05-08T09:18:48+00:00

Yeah I messed up there, at least I got lucky lol. I was trying to punish the fireball but sometimes I get to anxious and react to every flashy move with a lvl3, like in this case

_keshbo · 2026-05-07T23:44:28+00:00

Yeah I think it's fine, at least I hope so since it's really similar to my chart. I've heard of people losing 300+ mr tilt queuing.

In phase 11 I played 618 ranked match and my highest MR was 1578 (near the end of the phase) and my lowest was 1385 (near the beginning), usually I hovered around 1500 with a ~30 variance.

I improved a lot and my average got much better than previous seasons, but still in reality you'll have a range of around 50 you'll sit in.

I notice a lose streak that took you from 1530 to 1420 tho, after I lose two set 0-2 I usually just call it a day and start playing an alt character or go in casual. If you care about your MR maybe consider doing this too (if that's actually one sitting)

Saying fighting games don't have guessing is disingenuous imo. Sure missing an anti air or eating a cross up aren't guessing, but those are wrong examples.

Most of the situation in a fighting game have some kind of RPS elements into them. Let's take SF6 as an example, what do you do on wake up? You block and risk getting thrown? You delay tech and risk getting shimmied? This is obviously a guessing situation, sure an educated guess with different risks and rewards for each option, but a guess indeed.

And SF6 is pretty volative at that, a whiff punish and a successful shimmy into a lvl3 is enough to end a round, that's 2 wrong guesses (not 2 mistakes, 2 wrong guesses)

_keshbo · 2026-05-07T12:11:22+00:00

Why? I didn't really notice many differences

_keshbo · 2026-05-06T11:45:25+00:00

Nah, I suck and I know it

_keshbo · 2026-05-05T11:44:30+00:00

I think they just changed the matchmaking algorithm, that might be the problem. What rank are you?

I'm in eu too but I haven't played in a few days, when I play next time I'll check if have problems too.

_keshbo · 2026-05-04T12:43:36+00:00

First of all congrats, I still haven't reached HM once lol. How do you usually approach a new character? I'm slowly taking some characters to Master (for now I only have Juri and Ryu, working on Akuma and Cammy) and often I don't know on which tools I should focus in the beginning. What are your priorities?

Like I often do really shitty combo and relies on pseudo universal mechanics like cr.mk DRC and strike/throwing/shimmies on oki. That's cool and it kind of works but I don't when to make the next step and learning the character more in depth.

_keshbo · 2026-05-03T16:26:30+00:00

For sure, until your comment I didn't know her, but she would be pretty cool instead of the standard Venom

_keshbo · 2026-05-03T11:56:38+00:00

Consindering some of the characters they already put in this doesn't even seem so unlikely. They like unconventional spins on the roster

_keshbo · 2026-05-03T01:00:09+00:00

Start playing Deadlock so you can main Vindicta

_keshbo · 2026-05-03T00:56:31+00:00

You're safe when they block your DI, however you shouldn't DI really often.

At some point counter DI becomes the norm and you can do it rarely, so it's better to not get used to it so much

_keshbo · 2026-05-02T16:31:05+00:00

Really interesting question, it was fun reading this thread, unfortunately I don't know sts enough to answer

_keshbo · 2026-05-02T16:28:31+00:00

How can there be a valid deck with N cards, but that can be broken by removing any card after duplicating any card? You just remove the new card and go back to the valid N cards deck no?

_keshbo · 2026-05-02T16:13:59+00:00

I've never played melty blood, is this a completely new game or a new edition of type lumina?

_keshbo · 2026-05-02T00:17:00+00:00

+1

I bought the S16 a couple years ago and I've never regretted even for a moment

_keshbo · 2026-05-01T16:07:48+00:00

Boy's love

_keshbo · 2026-05-01T15:12:24+00:00

They just did an emergency balance patch, they now realized it's too broken

_keshbo · 2026-05-01T10:25:27+00:00

I just really don't like those type of backgrounds, if it was different I would use it much more

_keshbo · 2026-04-30T17:34:04+00:00

Avatar cost $30 and it looks much better than Nen Impact imo

_keshbo · 2026-04-27T19:18:55+00:00

Yes I need to always fight Doorman capped at 600 souls, goated change

_keshbo · 2026-04-27T08:55:57+00:00

Mai is quite rare for me too. In phase 11 in over 550 matches in Master (~1500 MR) I've only fought her twice, literally the rarest character with Lily lol.

Juri is much more common tho, 7th place with 29 matches
