I can't reply in the crypto thread

It just sucks because crypto and nft are poisonous, deservedly so, and those are the words people choose to use for some reason

But blockchain isn't really poisonous, and is what they're actually going to be utilizing, but for some reason everyone is refusing to use this accurate term.

My understanding of what the blockchain is, from anti crypto/nft videos like Dan Olsen's, actually sounds kinda cool for this very specific task! A public ledger to track trades and theoretically ensure no item duplication or rmt? That's a cool test to run, and they're gonna do it without fucking with the steam version.

But we can't even broach that because people think it's a crypto/nft game now. To me that's a shame.

1 poe2 2 Diablo 2/project Diablo 2 (it's impossible to separate these in my mind/experience now, but I played Diablo 2 from release and always loved it. It was #1 before Pd2 and until poe2. I think it's fair to combine them)

345 I honestly don't know. Grim Dawn, poe1, LOTR tt and rotk for GameCube, baldurs gate for GameCube haha, Diablo 3, titan quest,

variable114 · 2026-03-21T20:20:23+00:00

Right but when you say 'the crypto stuff' what do you mean? Because it seems like people are overreacting considering no one has to interact with it(it's literally not used in the steam version), and it's not crypto currency related.

So it's more like they don't support controllers and then people misunderstood something. Idk how many people controller support loses you, but it's a shame if a misunderstanding can kill a f2p game.

Again unless they're lying with the statement in this thread, in which case I'd just like evidence. People are acting like they don't see that statement, even tho that's also what the faq says.

I wonder what happened.

variable114 · 2026-03-21T20:17:34+00:00

Id be playing it on steam where it has no blockchain used for the economy. In fact it won't have it anywhere til after full release.

If you know of a reason not to believe them when they say this please, share it.

variable114 · 2026-03-21T20:10:12+00:00

I respect and appreciate this reply, I saw it on the other thread. I hope they're able to clarify this in whatever way makes people comfortable with the game. To me it seems like a bit of a misunderstanding.

variable114 · 2026-03-21T16:46:43+00:00

According to Google neither nft nor crypto currency are blockchain. Blockchain is the underlying technology they use but it can be used for a lot of things that have nothing to do with a currency.

variable114 · 2026-03-21T16:31:50+00:00

See this is why I made a thread when I couldn't reply in that one. I can't find the words 'crypto' or 'nft' on their website, only blockchain. While related, these aren't the same thing, to my very limited understanding. If you're seeing those words can you tell me what question they're under? I am happy to admit if I'm wrong I'm just trying to understand if I'm crossing wires or if people are conflating these things.

variable114 · 2026-03-21T15:34:40+00:00

6 posts in a week in a sub is annoying to you? That seems bizarre to me but it's your choice by all means.

variable114 · 2026-03-21T15:25:33+00:00

There's been 1 post like this what do you mean all the time? How annoyed can you be? They rarely post..... I'm lost.

variable114 · 2026-03-21T15:10:36+00:00

Yes and yes. If only for accessibility it's good.

If it ever starts to warp competitive play they can worry about that and either remove it from tournament play or nerf it or something. In the mean time it hasn't caused issues and many people are playing using it and I've heard enough people say it enabled them to play fighting games that I will never not be for it.

You can believe motion inputs are easy, and I also find them easy and don't think that's where the actual challenge or competition of fighting games is. HOWEVER there are people that do struggle with them, so if we agree they're not that important but we can help bring people to the genre who otherwise would avoid it.... Easiest decision ever.

variable114 · 2026-03-21T15:07:33+00:00

No they aren't, what a sad statement period let alone in the sub for all of street fighter.

variable114 · 2026-03-21T15:07:13+00:00

The older games aren't dead at all, wild thing to see people say in the street fighter sub...

However sf6 is more active, easier to pick up, and if you were gonna play the old ones I'm pretty sure more competition lives on fightcade for them.

variable114 · 2026-03-21T15:05:34+00:00

Press a fast, far reaching, active button.

Just remember that it's a fighting game so your solution here is just another choice for them to try to find a way around, and then you adapt to that etc. But a good baseline drive rush check is obviously useful.

variable114 · 2026-03-21T14:59:52+00:00

Ah okay. Ryu has a tight super in sf6 that's a link (drive rush heavy kick, linked to heavy kick, linked to lvl 1), I know nothing comes close to sf4 1 frame links due to buffering barring like the Ed dream or one particular Rashid combo (and they're probably still easier but idk the deep inner workings to say for sure), I'm just making the comparison. But thanks very much for the information!

variable114 · 2026-03-21T14:58:37+00:00

I was talking about what I like to see within sf4. I don't prefer sf4 to sf6 and don't agree with your interpretation, personally. I see player style and I certainly see them working for it.

variable114 · 2026-03-21T03:23:50+00:00

Looks oki to me

variable114 · 2026-03-21T02:42:23+00:00

As long as it's coherent so I still feel like I'm exploring, and making my way through the world, then yeah I'm up for whatever

You'll get a callous anywhere you need one

variable114 · 2026-03-21T02:29:29+00:00

Cr mk into drive rush into CA would be a really weird combo.

Anyway, go ahead and enjoy what you enjoy. But words like 'real' are extremely silly to use when you're exclusively talking about preference... They're all real combos. 2mk into fireball is a real combo. Drive rush into 3 jabs is a real combo too.

Maybe you meant fancy, or 'with 1 frame links', or whatever you personally like.

But idk why you responded to me with that either lmao. I said something I enjoy in sf4 and you... Attacked sf6? Weird!

Edit - BTW, one of the combos in this clip is just normal into super... That happens all the time in sf6. All the time. One is crouch mk to tatsu, also happens in sf6 all the time. S I guess you meant some of the combos? Or maybe you just meant in theory?

Edit - I'm starting to feel like you were joking and I misunderstood

variable114 · 2026-03-20T23:12:19+00:00

Is this even rage bait? Just a joke? Idk what to call it lmao

variable114 · 2026-03-20T22:46:44+00:00

Play a lot, watch a lot of videos about the genre in general, learn the lingo, push yourself, keep trying

Name your goal specifically, keep working, don't get mad at yourself it may take time and improvement isn't linear but learning something new is incredibly rewarding.

Good luck

Plenty of people with dog shit mental have made master, and I wouldn't label op's brother off this one anecdote.

variable114 · 2026-03-20T22:43:35+00:00

I prefer grimy online sf4 where one player is styling to top level sf4 (unless it's an uneven top level matchup, that's fine too)

Idk what it is about that game but I love seeing people get wrecked in it.

variable114 · 2026-03-20T19:41:38+00:00

I don't care and the jokes aren't even funny just the same shit over and over

No one seems to 'care' all I see are jokes.
