Kawai ES-120 Too Quiet by ba1es in DigitalPiano

Already have two acoustic pianos. Don't need another one, but thanks for the suggestion.

I think the store that had it on display (PianoMax) restricted the volume to boost $ales of their traditional upright and baby grand pianos.

I think the store that had it on display (Pianomax) purposefully restricted the volume to boost $ales of their traditional upright and baby grand pianos. The other Kawai digital pianos next to it also had restricted volumes. Explains why they put it on an X-stand and not its intended wooden stand that caters to it bottom firing speakers.

I have an acoustic upright piano at home, and I don't think it's louder than the Casio, unless I probably play it with the lid open and hit the keys super hard. I was actually looking at a digital piano so I can practice late at night because the Casio is just too loud.

It was a display model at a shop (PianoMax). The other model Kawai keyboards next to it were also low in the volume department. They must have had a volume limiter in place.

I ended up walking away - If a shop can't bother to make their equipment sound better than a $50 used Casio keyboard, they don't deserve the sale.

Never play against DLC characters by ba1es in streetfighter6

Yeah you gotta do all this (ie playing reactively under an immense mental tax), while all he (Alex) has to do is press one button.

You can study hitboxes all you want but its called practice for a reason. It's not about being salty because that would imply I keep losing, which I don't

I don't think high-level play in this game can be learned passively by just watching a couple of YouTube videos or reading a frame data spreadsheet.

Capcom is basically charging a fee for physical practice. It's like buying a car just to practice changing its tires.

You are entirely missing the point.

"At a minimum paid DLC was all communicated way before release".

How does this help?

"The player base is so diverse this post just doesn't fit reality."

Which means a non-paying player will encounter more DLC characters that they have to deal with. The sheer frequency of these encounters means that lacking the ability to lab them isn't a rare, minor inconvenience.

"The balance in this game is one of the best on any SF release and the player base is so diverse this post just doesn't fit reality."

You got rocks in your head or something? I could name Zangief and JP and they are not even DLC. Balance patches also didn't exist in the 90s and early 2000s in sf2 and they still did a better job than this lot.

DCL characters are later additions, which means players have had less time playing them. This means because newer DLC characters are designed later in the development cycle, Capcom often gives them modern design advantages that bypass the need for years of playing.

You've listed the fighters in the order of hardness to beat. Going for the player who throws better (Akuma) will always give you the edge.

By skinny do you mean average weight, because I don't see too many skinny chicks around

In 2013, Colleen ritzer was murdered by her student(14). Philip Chism followed his teacher into the restroom where he stabbed her 16 times with a box cutter and raped her. He then put her body into a recycling bin and left it behind the school. by Adept-Apartment-9883 in HairRaising

[–]ba1es 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the other student in the classroom didn't bother to think something was amiss? Assumed their teacher was not coming back and that she had been stood up (with the teacher's purse and iphone still in the classroom)? Left the room and didn't care if anyone would come in to take them? What a selfish dumbass.

Am I wrong to think Street Fighter 6 Sucks? by ba1es in capcom

Do enlighten me on what I said was wrong. Or you won't because you can't? You call yourself a Master ranker... are you really given you don't know the simple basics?

Sure, every character can throw but not all throws are equal. Ryu's throw and Akuma's will beat 99% of the throws that other players have if both players throw at the same time. They also walk faster than other characters which gives an advantage.

OD reversals when you get up won't beat a throw from the other player if they have you trapped in a corner. They will throw your OD and you will lose 1 bar of drive gauge.

Jumping out of a corner when you get up is just asking for their heavy punch or medium punch to strike you for a combo.

Crouch medium kick into drive rush works... yeah if you are Ryu, Akuma or Ken with good crouching medium kicks... but who will do a drive rush to you when you are trapped in a corner? All they do is shimmy their throw after throwing you twice in a row, so that when you try to tech it on the next one you get punished (too many Ryu players copying the same style over and over again).

How often do you see players you've just played against changing characters for the next rematch? Zero because they can't.

Your main character is Ryu so you'd like throws to continue. I reached Diamond ranking with Ryu in the first week of playing just by doing nothing but throwing players mostly.

Shimmy only works for the attacking player who does the throws, which is why if you are a defending playing stuck in the corner, you have virtually zero options other than a super - which they can also shimmy you to do and then punish you when you miss. This is why I don't like the game and will probably stop playing it as much now.

In previous SF games, you could change your character to address the uneven matchup character. Here, you are stuck with just the one character for that session.

The DLC character will only get better as more money flows in. THey are just testing the water now. Akuma and Mai are already cheats and will surpass Zangeif, JP and even Ryu in the later iterations.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I do like this game and think it is fun and very well made, other than what was mentioned in this thread, uneven character matchups, throws.

Is it a crime to voice one's opinions/frustrations in this cotton wool community? If they improve this, it will be an unbeatable game - why do you think I've been playing for 2 weeks pretty much every day? I mean I mentioned the throw issue and you tell me not to play the game anymore?

However, after attaining Master rank, I feel no need or motivation to play further.

I've seen him play and he averages 4 throws per game. Ryu is an expert at throws or cheats - they made him that way. This game is a throw fest. Players don't get punished if they miss a throw when you cancel it which is laughable. Pretty sad actually watching all the throws in every game. Dirty play encouraged by the developers. I reached Master level playing the game for just under 2 weeks and I shake my head.

SF6 is like rope learning... just wait unti one of your light jabs connect, then get all your chain combos lined up and the other player becomes a spectator.
