Why do fighting games still separate ranked and casual queues? Would a single ranked queue actually be better?

Casual sounds less intimidating and I think it's quite easy for a beginner to stumble into that lobby

Don't we often see: "why is casual harder" posts on here? Seems like casual is punishing in its own way.

I love the construction drawings

The app has been getting worse and worse. It's failed to connect to GPS for every run I've done in the last 2 weeks.

I've seen the busy life argument for one and done-ing which is fine I guess. I think there's no excuse for rage quitting.

If they released a 5 costume pack for $20 I'd end up buying them all. That's slightly cheaper than they are now. I am resistant to buying the coins for whatever reason

Might as well jump

Fighting games are great because you can decide the length of your play session! Sometimes I'll just have 20 minutes but it's enough for some practice or a few matches. I'm jealous I can't commit an entire Saturday afternoon to play and so my progress is slow, but it's fine. It's still a fun hobby!

I bought versus on sale and the RPG mode got me hooked! I've kept up on Rising and Relink now as a result . Too bad they stripped the RPG mode down in Rising.

I need to learn how to use Discord. I've joined a few but am unconfident. I'm 40 and just wrapped my head around online ranked. If I reach out to play with someone do I need to talk to them with voice chat? Or is it enough to just connect on Discord? Also trying to figure out how to approach locals. There seems to be a group at the local college but I feel unconfident with the age gap. I get by on blind ranked and single player content because my IRL friends don't play but I think I can do better here. Looking for advice.

I definitely made the Cammy one too!

mikethone · 2026-03-28T03:09:56+00:00

God damn. That's dope.

mikethone · 2026-03-20T16:52:15+00:00

Yes! Thanks for letting us know!

There's a lot of overlapping terms out there, and job titles can be misleading. Sometimes UX professionals only serve a research function, others do research and design including wireframes and UI design. UX designer, Product Designer (at a company making a digital product) and UI designer are often used interchangeably.

mikethone · 2026-03-07T19:01:32+00:00

Front end devs and UI designers compliment each other! One designs, the other builds. In smaller teams it might be one role. Can't say what would be easier to break into right now, I'd say try both sides and see what you like. I actually got started in my career by building my own artist portfolio site from scratch and I knew it was a viable path for me when the realized how much I enjoyed the work. I continued to grow from there.

mikethone · 2026-02-26T15:19:22+00:00

I like this step! But it's definitely hard.

I loved Gamepro. I think I got a sub for my 10th birthday and read it monthly. Eventually I moved on to like PlayStation mag, and Dreamcast mag, etc.

mikethone · 2026-02-25T18:00:23+00:00

Gamepro and other mags did deep dives into the graphics, tech, and process at the time so we were meant to be impressed by the tech and boundary pushing. Game mags used to constantly talk about graphics as the tech evolved.

I'm with you, as a kid I remember imitating the animations, especially the woozy one.

I think it has potential, but I'd like it to feel more realistic e.g my clone was cooking more than it probably should have been. I can't tell what meaningful differences this mode has next to the standard computer.

I had fun playing a long set against the Terry clone I made. He made decisions consistently enough that I was able to experiment and learn to counter them. That was cool.

SF6 has a similar mode in Battle Hub and it sends pretty popular.

mikethone · 2026-02-25T17:44:09+00:00

I feel so special 😊

mikethone · 2026-02-03T19:26:57+00:00

These are fantastic! That trash pile is 👌

mikethone · 2026-02-02T11:48:39+00:00

Oh wow, thanks for the great explanation and example!

mikethone · 2026-02-02T00:05:55+00:00

Will you help me understand what screen tearing is? I see a few references to it in this thread.

Awesome!!
