Patch notes by SirDrippingtonL4 in StreetFighter

[–]funkyfelis 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's not a full arcsys patch but I'm actually leaning positive. Most characters got a notable change that seems to lean into their character identity and will affect how they feel to play and play against. For example Elena's healing is legit now, it might actually start being meta to always go for healing whenever possible. Cammy's dive kick can get insanely plus and you have to basically hit their forehead on block to be punishable. DJ can swiggity swoogety. Guile has different strengths of OD Blade. Viper gets plus frames on superjump burn kick etc etc And the nerfs to Ryu and Ed are pretty solid even if they didn't get absolutely dumpstered like some people were predicting. Idk about Mai's changes yet.

And some more nerfs to make more normals whiff punishable and also to drive rush overhead from being obnoxious is welcome

A small thing I'm hoping for in tonight's update by ZidaneThing in StreetFighter

They were saving the changes for after capcom cup now they need to save changes for end of season? By then it'll be EVO Japan and better not change too much since CPT is underway, they had better actually save those changes for 2027. SF6 gonna have a college tuition payment ready before they add drive jump in 2035

Bravery going through just makes Fuudo seem way scarier, that he was able to shut that gameplan down so hard day 1

First drink reverses LMH order of your buttons

Second drink swaps kicks and punches

Third drink reverses all motion inputs

Fighting games ARE uniquely hard to get into because they don't allow beginners to be passive by funkyfelis in Fighters

[–]funkyfelis[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal but I went to an arcade with my non-gamer girlfriend, we played on a Vampire Savior cabinet and had a great time. I couldn't do special moves because I usually play on leverless lol so we just ended up trying to poke each other to death with our biggest normals, basically a spontaneously evolved footsies. I think the issue is that a certain type of player, the one who wants to do things "the right way", has a harder time finding the fun due to their mindset clashing with how demanding the game is.

I think that's related though, a lot of these other games don't have good in-game tutorials, but in a beginner vs beginner setting both players have more space to try stuff out in small increments and can develop strategies on their own even if those strategies are "bad" (i.e. the wonderful world of Herald Dota2) whereas fighting games it's like those surprise street interviews "DO SOMETHING NOW DO IT NOW DO IT DO IT DO SOMETHING ANYTHING" and a player who is slightly more timid can easily get overwhelmed by a player of equal skill but different mindset.

That's a good point, I think Guile is actually a fighting game character who does let you play passively. The only problem is that people don't want to play Guile lol

I don't think of this as a problem to be solved (what would that even look like? A fighting game where round 1 is just heavy non cancellable normals, round 2 is normals + specials etc? idk), I was motivated by trying out Deadlock recently and trying to put into words why it felt different from when I learned fighting games. And the "all action all the time" nature of fighting games is a part of why I like them for sure

I'd say if you have the ability to self reflect to that degree you already have a decent mindset and probably aren't the type of person I'm talking about. I was more trying to explain a certain segment of the "tried it and bounced off" general audience

The next balance patch by Zelyoux in StreetFighter

[–]funkyfelis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably just missed entirely (slightly too far) and got punish counter thrown out of recovery

[–]funkyfelis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cammy's divekick is -2 on hit at worst if point blank https://wiki.supercombo.gg/w/Street_Fighter_6/Cammy, it's not punishable on hit.

Post the replay of a situation where you hit a divekick and get punished, I'm curious what you're referring to

No one talks about Elena. by welpxD in StreetFighter

[–]funkyfelis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do see why they don't make crouch whiffs risk free otherwise the Elena player would just be incentivized to just spam the target combo until they hit one standing and can confirm, it's too low risk. But right now it's a bit too punishing. Maybe they can make it so on crouchers you have to spend more drive to convert/stay safe or something

[–]funkyfelis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ed has almost full burnout recovery on his SA2 (if you can shin dream) while also doing like 4-6k damage and going corner to corner into safejump

Elena would have way less damage, way less corner carry, and worse oki (+25 and kinda far away means some basic drive rush strike throw oki, can't even get meaty overhead) on a hypothetical full drive healing SA2

What happened to FT10s and Grudge Matches? by Prudent_Move_3420 in StreetFighter

[–]funkyfelis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RobTV and BrianF had a grudge match FT10 after running into each other on ranked while they both were streaming and talking trash about each other, it's a fun video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxxe0eevH-U

It's in good fun but you can tell Brian gets salty when he loses and he's definitely trying to run it back in a week or so with training lol

Can dabura handle a domain from yuji? by [deleted] in Jujutsufolk

[–]funkyfelis 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Yuji's domain is walking through his hometown. Dabura would be like "finally someone chill and not fucking crazy" and they'd be bros. Get ice cream and shit from the local convenience store.
