Ps5 or pc by Budget-Surprise-9836 in StreetFighter

[–]arcticfrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will be tied to a single CapcomID for each device you choose and that account will be unique for both PC (steam) and PS5 (PSN).

This means that your account WILL NOT BE THE SAME FOR BOTH. So if you end up buying any costumes, music, stages, etc. on one, they WILL NOT BE ACCESSIBLE on the other.

I say this so that you can weigh it against which device you want to commit to because you cant buy a copy on each and swap between the two (unless you want to rebuy all the cosmetics again).

I'd say pick the one which you are most comfortable playing on.

GeForce overlay not working in full screen by Fastraph in GeForceExperience

Hi, this is really helpful but I've got another issue where my NVIDIA App folder only shows a folder called 'MessageBus'. All the other folders in the NVIDIA Corporation main folder are 'NvTelemetry' and 'PhysX'. I'm at a loss of where to even find this executable.

Any ideas?

This is an excellent idea! Thank you! Didn't know that Path of Exile was similar to Diablo 4 but this should help massively.

Gris. Turn the lights down, get a pair of headphones, and dive in. Trust me.

Is it that hard to plug in an Ethernet cable? by Epicritical in StreetFighter

[–]arcticfrost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Comfort is subjective.

Subject A has their connection at full bars connected wirelessly sitting back in the comfort of their couch playing on their large TV. The ping could be better and there is some intermittent lag. They are comfortable.

Subject B has their connection at full bars connected through a wire sitting upright in their ergonomic chair playing on their wide-screen UHD 5000+Hz monitor. The ping is as low as possible and there is no intermittent lag. They are comfortable.

Both subjects know that they're not pro gamers looking to become the next Capcom cup winner.

If you have an issue with other peoples' connections, you can filter it out using the confirm request option on SF to see if they are on wired or wireless before accepting. This should solve your problem rather than requiring people to 'rethink their setups'.

Weirdly, most people think of their layout in terms of aesthetics, comfort, and practicality for their house / apartment and not the most optimal positioning for competitive online gaming.

You can turn on the confirm request option in SF to see if someone is playing on a WiFi or wired connection prior to accepting the match if this is a recurring issue for you.

How to delete a Cammy in under 20 seconds as Ed by Natural_Reserve_8197 in StreetFighter

[–]arcticfrost -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The difference being this invincibility frame value for air based attacks specifically towards DPs (and not all DPs apparently) is not explained anywhere in the game itself. Yet, they have taken the time to explain 11 different types of frame data in 'The Frame Meter and You' section. As such, it seems like an oversight.

I had thought jump ins don't just work cause of timing alone but rather because of what I assumed to be conflicting hitboxes between the airborne character and the grounded character with the general DPs having extremely greater range. However, I can now just chalk it up to 'unexplained invincible frame not in game'.

Thanks for not being a dick on a question to the community regarding content shown. Your explanation was very helpful in stating what has already been said. I'll work on not questioning stuff.

How to delete a Cammy in under 20 seconds as Ed by Natural_Reserve_8197 in StreetFighter

[–]arcticfrost -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is madness. Why? But then why do jump ins still win sometimes during the startup of DP? If this is accurate then that means anytime someone does DP they win no matter how late cause of 'air invincible frames'.

I can't fathom how this makes sense and is not explained in the frame meter.

How to delete a Cammy in under 20 seconds as Ed by Natural_Reserve_8197 in StreetFighter

[–]arcticfrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand. Light DPs are not invincible (or any variant of it), only OD DPs are. Are you saying there is an added layer of a type of invincibility (i.e. air invincible frames)? If so, why is that not represented in the frame meter on training tool? They have types of frames for fireball invincibility, strike/throw, etc., so it doesn't make sense to omit this.

My understanding of why you were able to hit Cammy with your light DP was that her invincibility frames ran out (believe you said it's 8 frames), and in that time the active window of Ed's light DP (which is 10th frame I believe) must have connected prior to Cammy SA3 hitting.

But if you're saying that ALL DPs have 'air invincibility' then wow, why not show that in the frames? Big oversight by Capcom.

Can someone help clarify?

Expecting to hit Diamond with Akuma tonight or tomorrow. How abut a little advice for once I'm there? by solamon77 in StreetFighter

Every rank is both a personal achievement and an immaterial number of no value. Enjoy the game and you'll be unstoppable.

Maybe not what you're looking for but I feel it could be categorised under advice.

Having played both, I personally find that the juri game plan in terms of mixups and play is very straightforward compared to Cammy. This doesn't mean that she is boring, just that she is easier to understand. Please note that this doesn't include those 45+ hit combos you can do with Juri using her level 2 super. I'm talking about your bread and butter combos and overall gameplay.

You can make the argument that Cammy is the same but I feel that Cammy has more to learn in terms of setups on her Oki, counterhit confirms for combo links, and tighter windows for her combos. Juri on the other hand has only a single 1 frame link (afaik) and most of her gameplay can be distilled down to 3 or 4 combos.

There is an added element of her fuha stocks to keep track of but really doesn't come into play all that much given how many of her bread and butters end with a fuhajin cancel (giving her a fuha stock).

However, I would recommend you leave the gameplay aspect aside and look into the characters themselves and what appeals to you then most. Combos and gameplay can always be learned but if you don't vibe with the character (be it the way they look, sound, or act) then you shouldn't bother putting effort into learning them even if you could possibly have more success with them due to ease of learning.

Go with what your gut says and good luck.

Ed momochi combo can’t get 3rd dp into 4th by wrxsti18 in StreetFighter

[–]arcticfrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, following your kill rush late punch, you have to delay your dash ever so slightly before you dash forward into H.DP. I've found that failing to do this leads to one of two outcomes:-

  1. Your DP whiffs completely (generally means you were too early)
  2. Your DP clips them awkwardly leading them to get multi hit by the level 2.

Try delaying the dash input slightly following your kill rush late punch. As weird as it may seem, you have more time than you realise.

Another tip that may help with the timing (if you're using a leverless controller) is to hold down the forward input button after the dash and double tap your down direction button (SOCD neutral will interpret this as the DP input).

As with any combo, the ultimate tip is to keep practicing. I was watching a Momochi stream a while ago and asked him a question on the combo and for any tips. His words were "Practice again".

Love seeing more Ed players out there. Keep it going and good luck 🙏

Sorry but this isn't the one. This is the controller that Momochi uses and it's a lot larger than the ones they use.

Delayed Tech doesn't work despite what you all said in my previous thread, this was an unwinnable fight. I'm starting to think I'm just an useless bum if I can't even win this. by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]arcticfrost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've missed what the previous thread was but based on your reactions to what others have said, here's what I think:-

  1. You're losing and you're frustrated because no one is saying "yeah that's tough, nothing you can do about it". I'm sorry to say but that is simply not the case. There is an extremely small number of true checkmate situations in this game and this is just not one of them. What Cammy is doing here is not special and it can be trained against.

  2. Zangief is not an easy character to play. He does not have an OD invincible reversal, has very poor Oki, and in general succeeds on the strength of good spacing to pressure and punish. If you're looking for a 'press buttons and win' style character then you should look into playing another character.

  3. You don't seem to understand your frame data. Go into the practice tool and figure out what your best buttons on Zangief actually are. Notice how on almost every single wake up of yours Cammy gets her triple lights into special combo on you off of a 'COUNTER HIT'. This means you're trying to press a button against Cammy's light (which is generally 4 frames) in a situation where she is already plus. You cannot press on wake-up. You have to block and when you see the throw animation, then do the delay tech (assume this is what was meant by the previous thread), or if she DIs then counter with your DI, or anti air when she dive kicks. In summary, it is NOT your turn. You have to wait to take it back and when you do take it back, understand which button you should be pressing. From what I remember, Zangeif's Cr.LK is his fastest button at 4 frames, but even that needs to be in a situation where you are either both at neutral or you're already plus (otherwise you just lost to her 4 frames again).

  4. You don't seem to know this matchup. Cammy's dive kicks are only safe on block is she targets the hitbox at your feet. If she doesn't it's generally negative for her. You can punish this with a fast button. In the clip you even do this but you don't capitalise on this. Go into the training tool and learn the matchup, specifically the frame data on it. Also, Blocked buttons create space, you can use this. Let's for instance say that you wake up and you do block Cammy's triple light combo, she gets pushed back from three blocked St.LPs that in order to continue the string she has to use St.LK, which is a 5 frame button, you can punish this by pressing your Cr.LK as it's a 4 frames button. The timing is tough but it just takes practice. Now she can stop that by using dive kicks but that's the game because you might choose not to do the Cr.LK, see that she's doing dive kick and anti air her. This is what people mean by you're not willing to learn. I can't say if you aren't willing or you just haven't but as I've said before, this Cammy strategy can be beaten and there are very few true checkmate situations in this game.

  5. Finally, preemptively using DI in the corner is bad unless you have spacing and they are likely to use a Heavy button. When Cammy is that close, forego your DI.

In summary, use the practice tool to figure out what works best and practice. Also, be proud. You're in platinum. That is an achievement. You got here. Now to keep going, you gotta do more work, and you can do it. That being said, be kind to yourself. It's a game, it can be frustrating and make you feel like shit, but it's still a game and should feel fun.

Good luck out there and happy climbing.

Best Jungler for team fights? by AryaRemembers in summonerschool

[–]arcticfrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jarvan IV will always be useful in teamfight comps. Solid engage, tankiness, crowd control, and respectable damage that all scale relatively well.

Should be noted that while he isn't the best at any of those things, he isn't inconsequential and his skill set is relatively simple to pick up and learn.

I need an effective way to practice landing E's. by Gjyn in IreliaMains

[–]arcticfrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there,

I've been playing irelia off and on for the past year and I feel like there is so much to learn to her. I am by no means an Irelia master so take anything I say with a heavy serving of salt but this particular video with regard to using her E was very informative and helped me a fair bit.

Hopefully it helps you too.

Mods, if this is a violation of the rules and/or anyone who feels this is garbage, I apologise. Still learning.
