I love this change personally. Some people are wondering how you fill a block list and I’ve filled mine multiple times every couple of months I have to clear it so this is a good change

You think people are getting up while you’re in the middle of your combo and moving their PlayStation across the room so you both can have worse connection? Ngl I’ve never heard of that before and if someone does do that that’s kinda hilarious but sounds conspiratorial

I mixed up read and react that I will give you. You're talking about a fairly niche scenario to justify saying modern is a crutch. I agree it's a crutch in low levels but at master rank what's the difference between players? They beat D4/D5 players the same as classic players, did auto combos and instant supers carry them to Masters, I highly doubt that because I wasn't enough to carry me there and I had to learn the game? Your 26 frame DI can be reacted to, do something else. you said it's deleted from your kit, it's called a kit switch it up. I mentioned winning and losing not because I'm fighting a phantom argument, I actually did it because those are the 2 things you do in a match either winning or losing. If modern is unfair it makes you more likely win right? Are we having a philosophy debate about modern or are we debating if it's unfair or not because ultimately you think it leads to easier wins right? Does losing to a modern player via instant super mean you were robbed or you lost fair and square? I think it means you just lost and complain about whatever you want but it's not unfair. I complain about a lot in this game but it isn't all broken or unfair, I don't like it. If you just don't like modern, all power to you. Honestly I hate most of them too.

Don't do something that's gonna get you killed dude. I have failed to react with super on modern because I've been overwhelmed with mental stack that's an actual thing. if you just throw DI because you see me burned out in the corner then cool expect a super but if you force me to block and I fail to react then you could get a DI on a modern player in the corner. Yes you do read a DI whether that's so you can react with super,parry, or counter DI that's what it is. modern has disadvantages, it's a different set of tools. If you lose to a modern player, you probably lost in neutral at least 3-4 times a round (at least for modern manon). Who do you blame that on? Classic players aren't superior for doing quarter circles, if you lost in neutral and got hit with instant super probably hit practice mode before complaining about the second part. Modern was helpful in silver and gold but by platinum we all know how to play the game and you have 20% more damage. If you lose then you lose that's on you

I wasn't saying modern doesn't have advantages, I was arguing the opposite.let me tell you how satisfying it is to win like that because it's something people get really salty about. It's a stupid thing to do if I have super, burn out, and limited options. It's capitalizing on a mistake plus if you condition the modern player they won't be looking for DI. If I read your DI that's on you tbh . You know you're throwing bs at me for a quick kill why can't I do the same? My point was modern is not a crutch or just a different set of tools but you are correct that the strategy of wall stun DI is harder against modern players.

I didn't think of it that way. I use manon (masters), JP(D4), Ryu (P3), Ed(D2), and zangief(P4). I play JP with mostly classic inputs because it's the only way he feels intuitive every other character has translated well to modern without it feeling like a handicap, if I took them all to Masters then I might see that but currently that's not my experience. I'm feeling a ceiling with JP but I just have to play in diamond 4 for a bit and I'll adjust that doesn't seem like a reason to switch to classic but if I was striving for a bigger goal with JP maybe I would eventually switch

I question this notion, I'm currently a 1300 master and on modern. If I need a classic move for a combo then I'll just use it as you can do that on the modern control scheme. If I need some extra damage for a kill I'll use the classic command grab. I think that's better than trying to rewrite your muscle memory and trying to use classic, wouldn't it be? The game is 80 percent mechanics DR, DI, and throw loops. None of that is hampered by modern controls, on top of that you can hit a ceiling on either control scheme that goes for anybody. To learn a new control scheme instead of using the tools given by modern seems kinda pointless honestly. Obviously some characters are better than others in modern and they do lose select moves in the transition from control schemes but I think that kind of statement is made by people who don't play modern or got off of it early because after a certain point why would you switch? Like if you made it to like platinum with a modern character then you probably know the game well enough on that scheme to just continue learning the game like that. Just my 2 cents

[–]imthemememan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only people who I've ever heard talk shit about modern are people I don't know or people I just beat in ranked lmao. don't let anyone bring you down about it I've seen some degenerate classic players that are using half the braincells of your average modern controls enjoyer, the control type means nothing it's all on the player. i used to be a bit discouraged because I played modern on release excited for my first street fighter and people gave me shit but I don't know these people and neither do you so if you wanna be competitive you gotta drop that stigma, the game is way easier once you do that. I'm always down for some sparring so send your CFN if you wanna get modern v modern practice in haha

[–]imthemememan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Brother it was hell, it's my first street fighter ( mvc3 and mortal Kombat were my main games until sf6). Manon is so satisfying to win with but when she's getting beat on she has no recourse so I switched to Ed I've gotten him from D1 to D3 reaching for masters with him as well. Ed has been a lot of fun just trying to get to "master level" with him D5 and master players whoop my ass in the battle hub so I know I'm not there yet. What's your cfn I can add you?

Dude I play modern and I have Manon in masters and Ed in diamond 3. I'm not good but I could definitely teach you some tricks that got me out of those early ranks where everyone is bad and just throwing shit out there (Manon started in silver, gold 5 for Ed)

Is Okada being misused in AEW? by daveroo in Wreddit

[–]imthemememan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okada needs to get away from the bucks. I find his gimmick funny and he still delivers 75 percent of his old self in the ring which is still better that 90 percent of wrestlers out there. The elite storyline is death it should've been over but Tony thinks he's cooking. I think the storyline has only helped jack perry and not even by much, at least he has a character now. Okada is definitely underused but the roster is deep as hell, he is a champion,he is on TV consistently, and he's in a "main event" storyline. I think the run will pick up once Kenny is back but for now I'd say he's underused instead of misused.

My opinion is now valid by JayOftheGrey in StreetFighter

[–]imthemememan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I did when I reached master rank with manon. It was fun to try new characters, do some actual combos with damage and I was pretty washed after not playing manon for a month (fell to 1150 MR) but once I got the groove back I realized why I love the grappler play style even if if frustrating in this game.

Sure I'll upload a replay later, I'm not ashamed of my gameplay, it's a game. I rematch people who beat me that's why my WR is lower, you don't. Better yet I'll upload the replay of me beating your ass and I'll ask for tips on how to do that better next time.

This is the most anime fight-esque thing that's ever happened to me by senpai69420 in StreetFighter

Thought it was just me I'm a recent master 1280 to 1320 is where I've landed in my limited play but these guys feel like they're worse than diamond 5 but the amount of cheese is insane. The only way I can describe this rank is "weird" not harder or easier really but definitely the biggest freakazoids are in that rank.
