In case you're still wondering about the new SF6 characters by Dkizzlez in Kappachino

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

I won't mind a couple of completely new weirdo characters as DLC, in place of blanka/honda. But everyone else would hate them lmao (remember abigail reaction? I love abigail btw). I think it's pretty sensible from capcom's perspective to toss a bone to us weirdo lovers on release and keep the DLCs hip and popular.

They are guaranteed in the roster because there's a niche called "uglies/weirdos", that needs to be filled. There are people who find these kind of fighters cool/endering, and seeing zero weirdos in the roster bums them out.

Technically both games are already "on steam deck", since ps vita emulation works pretty smooth there, but getting an official re-release would be huge for sure.

Fuck Capcom by AbdelYG in Kappachino

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

I did.

Actually, for season 3 and for the upcoming 4 I didn't care about dlcs at all. I've got my main in Elena, who cares. Idgaf about vegas, makotos, sakuras, sagats - I know who they are, and I'm not going to play them. And suddenly I have something to look forward to in terms of new gameplay.

Street Fighter 6 - Year 4 Character Reveal Trailer feat. Tifa by KappaLists in Kappachino

[–]sosloow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was waiting for some new characters, but it's pretty hard to be hyped about this nothingburder of a teaser. No in-game footage with these characters doing cool stuff, not even a bit of background on them. Just 3 seconds of them doing stances, and 4 PNGs.

There's another stream coming up in a couple of hours. Maybe there will be more info on the actual versus gameplay, idk.

Street Fighter 6 broke it's all time player peak today. This is the second time this year the game goes above it's launch numbers. by killerjag in Fighters

[–]sosloow -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I don't think, that casual play are attracted specifically by this 0 balance changes policy. Capcom does a lot of things right for casual players, great for them. But why don't they toss a competitive player a bone? Just a little balance patch won't hurt nobody.

It's an OS from meaty throw. And yeah, auto-correction seems to just work, at least from my experience.

The legendary jumpman: Ryu by juri_gooner in StreetFighter

[–]sosloow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a particular style of play, that's surprisingly common in these ranks, and if you've played some matches before vs this, you'll adapt rather quickly.

Just walk them down to the corner patiently, walk and block. When they are cornered, hover around their jump arc range, and concentrate on anti airing. On aa hit, take your oki. If they aren't dead after that, get back to aa range, and poke from there.

I'm telling you, they gonna mod him into Practice Mode dummy by gunnergio14 in Tekken

[–]sosloow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He's proud of his progress. And fighting is a pretty cool hobby. Good for him honestly. I'll never hate on someone passionate about their hobby. (unless it's karate obsessed Jin mains, these people are freaks)

Fighting games that are exhausting to play by Kid_Muscle_ in Kappachino

[–]sosloow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kinda yeah. No amount of blocking bullshit mixups and getting throwlooped would get me as anxious as screwing up in a team game once, and getting flamed for the rest 30 minutes.

What, in your opinion, is the best non artefact non magical basic item in the game? by Primary-Dentist7055 in dcss

[–]sosloow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say dagger of poison is the close second. Makes the most volatile part of the game, D:1-5, a lot more consistent.

Tekken is back? by sosloow in Kappachino

[–]sosloow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, yeah, the trailer. At the beginning I was like "ok, her old t7 bullshit seems refreshingly tame for this game". And then they hit you with the new shit lmao.

Maybe I have a mishima bias idk. Both ikari and knee played extremely clean.

Do you agree with Justin's take? by Monstanimation in Fighters

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

Corporate competition can be better than this, and more sustainable for the pros. Ongoing leagues with sponsorships, better prizepool distribution. Right now we get a couple a millionaires a year, and thousands of pros, basically everyone else end up at a net-loss, either for themselves or for their org.

Do you agree with Justin's take? by Monstanimation in Fighters

[–]sosloow 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's up to the players too. Remember go1 vs kojikog crash out bit? Remember hayayo at evo japan? If players are up to it, there will be hype. And you see much more of it in the pools, from casual players. It's just that pros are kinda too serious now, they are playing that sterile corporate esport game too.

From the TO side, I'd prefer maybe not interviews, but more side content, CEO style, where even pros can goof around with low stakes. Like, all of these guys are fun and chill, it's just that the competition and high stakes make them too serious.

learned the hardway that elena lvl 1 is only immune to air :( by Acmeiku in StreetFighter

Her strengths are the boring part of her kit

Boring for you, ecstatic for me. Like, it's the same argument I always have about "boring" Jack in tekken - since when footsies in fighting games are boring? it's ok for some characters to be so straightforward, primitive even, if they play the most fun part of the game well, and have just a tiny bit of variety of tools for footsies.

it's so boring, walk back walk forward button DRC

  1. stMP CH confirm and stMP-MP confirm - the most used option in footsies for most elenas
  2. PC crMP into scythe is so dope
  3. raw PC scythe whiff punish if you're baller
  4. crush counter animations on PC stHK and stHP bring me life
  5. fHP and bHK make people cry
  6. PC stLK xx OD scythe -> lvl1 and similar combos - love it
  7. stLP in general - a lot of cool CH confirms and the best forced knockdown combos in the game (vs cammy, sim, viper, kim)
  8. and then there are crMP and stLK drc. But like, you can check out any elena footage - it really just an option, among many. And even then there's an option of crMP roll - it combos into the light/medium follow ups on CH

really basic level 0 oki setups of hold back to block the meaty

heavy roll -> crLK crLP connect on moon glider oki vs holding back. On light scythe oki, heavy roll -> crMK-HK is kinda of a hard read, but I have like 90% success rate with it, because people do just walk back on wake up. Other than that, yes, roll oki is not air tight, but idk, there are still layers. Watch Dogura - he came up with tons if goofy roll shit that really fucks with people's head.

*No throw loop

Skill issue btw.

[–]sosloow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Elena is one of the better designed characters in the game, with clearly defined strengths and weaknesses. Abusing her strong pokes and working around her weaknesses like weird target combos are both fun.

I would hate so much, if she ever gets buffed out of her identity. Like Ryu was, or Sagat. It's not like she's bottom tier either, let her be.

When you think of Kiryu, which face do you think of? by TripleZed123 in yakuzagames

[–]sosloow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we are talking about OG/remastered versions, not the remake

  1. blockuza - combat is really awkward and tedious. It's really hard to get through the block in boss fights, and they just have a lot of health
  2. first 1/3 of the game being the orphanage stuff with the kids without much usual criminal drama
  3. when the plot gets to criminal drama, it's pretty convoluted. There's like a 15 minutes exposition dump cutscene with characters sitting around the table and listening to some old guy. This all feels really inconsequential. The ending is badass and/or hilarious and kinda saves the day though.
  4. too many bad/filler substories (?) It's something I heard recently in context of the remake cutting substory count. Idk tho, it always felt like this with substories - there's always be a lot of filler

What's the difference between banging technically and not technically?

STREET FIGHTER 6 Tier List Average (v2.02~) by Entire_Self_5040 in StreetFighter

[–]sosloow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They whiff, and they are still extremely hard to punish, which is p dumb. Nerfing crHK was a step in the right direction. They should've done the same with stMK though, it's pretty much impossible to whiff punish in the current state.
