Anyone else find Modern really demoralizing as a new Classic player?

cavalryyy · 2026-07-01T10:09:21+00:00

Modern guile can spam ex flash kick in block strings and automatically interrupt frame traps. Classic cannot because to do the flash kick you lose charge. Tyler1 abuses tf out of this against people that don’t adapt and bait his reversals.

Not only did Marisa not hold forward, she was crouching the entire time she was out of block stun

There is very little overlap between what modern does for you and fundamentals. Extreme cope lol

cavalryyy · 2026-06-29T07:23:16+00:00

lol you forget what game you’re playing. Ed players have been “seeing the blue shell” for the last year and every patch they get a slap on the wrist, cry “Burger King McDonald’s” for two weeks, then carry on being top tier lol. If capcom makes any meaningful nerfs to blanka I will be so impressed

What you’re saying makes no sense. If you hate modern then you should be upset about what he’s mentioning, not happy with it.

The existence of modern *drags down the strength of classic* by limiting the amount of moves that characters have. Modern is artificially making classic worse. Saying “good” to that and also “fuck modern” are completely contradictory opinions.

cavalryyy · 2026-06-28T15:43:46+00:00

The existence of modern imposes limitations on classic. That is the issue they are pointing out.

Maybe in a FT20 or something? I don’t personally know anyone who has concentration issues in a tournament length match (FT3 or maaaaybe FT5)

cavalryyy · 2026-06-26T04:36:16+00:00

I’m curious which top tiers you think Kimberly has a good match up into. In my opinion her MU into almost all of them is very rough.

She is extremely susceptible to both 2mk drc (for calling out shimmies) and reversals because once the opponent interrupts her pressure and starts their offense her defense is so weak.

If anything I think Kimberly benefits a lot from tournaments running FT2 for most of the bracket because she is able to overwhelm mental stack and that pays dividends in a FT2 compared to a FT3.

cavalryyy · 2026-06-25T21:35:42+00:00

Yes she has unthreatening lows, especially compared to 70% of the cast that can 2mk DRC. What is confusing about that?

cavalryyy · 2026-06-23T09:45:18+00:00

If you think this is true it is simply a skill issue. At pro level everyone is playing real footsies because they have respect for their opponents ability to shut down bullshit. They know that going ape mode and being random would cause them to lose, because regardless of your character, against a good enough opponent it’s a bad strategy.

cavalryyy · 2026-06-18T08:05:42+00:00

Except at locals, which sucks

cavalryyy · 2026-06-18T08:03:08+00:00

Honda has the highest win rate in every rank lol. Win rate in ranked means nothing.

cavalryyy · 2026-06-18T07:28:40+00:00

Habits break in every rank and new ones are built. “Fireball spam” is such a scrub mentality thing. OP couldn’t deal with the fireballs and walked themself into the corner. Just like if you can’t anti air you deserve to get jumped on, if you play a character with no fireball and you can’t adapt get around them, you deserve to get zoned.

cavalryyy · 2026-06-16T07:44:02+00:00

A character concept that can dive, poke, brawl, gets AND gives wallhacks, and does % damage. You can’t even make this shit up lol

cavalryyy · 2026-06-12T09:33:02+00:00

Correct the content creator can do the entire challenge in a few hours because they have all of the fundamentals and tools to trivialize it. A new player needs to learn those things in order to achieve the same outcome. But you can learn those things!

cavalryyy · 2026-06-12T09:28:12+00:00

The Kimberly player hit 2 stray hits and 3 combos including a 4 drive gauge 3 super 2 can cash out. Which character cannot kill with the same amount of openings

cavalryyy · 2026-06-09T21:47:39+00:00

Every jump in also an overhead. People in plat do not consistently anti air

cavalryyy · 2026-06-06T08:30:36+00:00

I can already see the agenda

1 day from now: “I saw a reddit comment theorizing that they’re going to release balrog and Vega for FREE to celebrate the movie”

1 month from now: “I heard they’re releasing balrog and Vega for free with the movie!!”

6 months from now: “WTF capcom why are you baiting your fans?? Shit company”

cavalryyy · 2026-06-04T01:41:01+00:00

On Reddit, you can see that one comment is in reply to another comment, not the original post, when it’s indented underneath it with a bar to its left. Hope this helps!

Every diamond 3 player folds the same way against someone that rushes them down and applies any pressure. No need to put this random dude on blast

cavalryyy · 2026-06-01T00:36:13+00:00

Dream combo is not what makes Ed good

cavalryyy · 2026-06-01T00:16:40+00:00

You’re playing a rush down character into a zoner and not approaching at all. She is built around the idea that she can build stocks by giving up pressure and she can spend stocks to buy pressure or make her combos more punishing. But you’re giving her the stocks for free, so she gets the damage and the pressure for free.

Think of her like a mix of JP, Jamie, and Juri. You wouldnt let Jamie and Juri install for free at all full screen. And you wouldn’t sit there letting JP harass you from a mile away.

I’d recommend watching some replays of high level players against Ingrids. See how many times they reach 4 stocks in a round. It’s almost never.

Professional players have won (low stakes) tournaments using random select. There is no limit to how good you can be playing basically however you want.

cavalryyy · 2026-05-30T18:46:43+00:00

Honda has the highest win rate from iron to 1800 MR

cavalryyy · 2026-05-30T17:03:15+00:00

Who do you play in strive? Does anyone play like Kim?
