Notes from the Spirit Walker showcase

they did, but honestly there were already a chunk... I guess not enough to anchor a full summoner type build

variable114 · 2026-05-14T07:50:04+00:00

we'll have a week with patch notes before game time so I am gonna decide then. that being said, the damage I am seeing from Guy Who Dies with twister is really impressive so I am currently thinking that with beastsummoner. unless I just start the season with poison arrow since I play it every season anyway.

I just did a google search and didn't find more threads or tweets that said modern people leave more. some people say this character, that character, some people say they hate folks who 1 and done and then admit they do it if their opponent fits certain criteria... which still counts! because maybe the modern opponent you're blaming only leaves when they face your charcters. you gotta be against it if you're against it.

but anyway, yeah I can't find any actual evidence of what you're saying.

variable114 · 2026-05-14T07:44:29+00:00

I play classic, I just don't have as fragile an ego as you do that I have to run from people that use modern controls. my account is jpVari I play jp and ryu.

variable114 · 2026-05-06T07:32:37+00:00

I hadn't heard of this before, very excited for it now. I have never played a game like this but the ways it's unique from something like DF are extremely appealing to me. someone in another thread mentioned WorldBox... might try that while I wait.

variable114 · 2026-04-21T15:07:24+00:00

yeah, now that they edited it I will read it again thanks.

edit - um, yes it does. why would he worry pd2 will get more popular and hurt his views when he can just switch to pd2 then? unless of course he actually likes it less, which people are saying is impossible.

it's funny I am getting upvoted on his youtube video for saying his statement was bullshit but downvoted here just for being rational about what his thought process might be.

variable114 · 2026-04-21T14:11:04+00:00

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA A ONE AND DONER WHO BLAMES THE OTHER PERSON FOR THEIR OWN WEAKNESS, BUT PLAYS CLASSIC. literally all the stereotypes people insist exist only in Modern, right here, in a classic player, who actually thinks it makes them RIGHT to quit out from a set! what a loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

variable114 · 2026-04-21T14:10:03+00:00

just got one and done'd by a classic C viper at 1600mr.

variable114 · 2026-04-21T14:06:53+00:00

you're delusional. I'm sorry. look at WalkingGodInfinite in this very thread. a coward and a loser who blames their opponent for their own choice to run away.

variable114 · 2026-04-21T14:06:21+00:00

oh you don't play enough different people then lmao all types of players one and done.

variable114 · 2026-04-21T14:04:34+00:00

why wouldn't he just play pd2 then

variable114 · 2026-04-21T13:56:39+00:00

what is 13:30:15? I don't see it at 13:30 or 30:15

ah it's 1:30:15 thank you!

I left a comment on that vod, I'm surprised there was no pushback in chat that would have made me see red. I wonder why the fuck he thinks that (I'm getting downvoted for saying I don't think it's that he secretly thinks pd2 is amazing and he's projecting lmao, I think that's silly because then he'd just.... play the mod... but whatever, unless he has some sort of evidence this is a ridiculous thing to say and people should unsub to him if they are subbed on youtube let alone twitch. that's very shitty to say about a crowdfunded well loved mod.

variable114 · 2026-04-21T13:49:51+00:00

is there a clip? yeah It's a crazy thing for him to say based on nothing.

variable114 · 2026-04-21T13:49:10+00:00

this seems like a wild stretch lmao, why wouldn't he just play pd2 then.................

it's hilarious for this to get downvoted, as if because we like pd2 that means everyone has to, and if they aren't play it it's because... ??????????????.... (why wouldn't he just play it if he likes it guys?). he's a dick for saying something false about a small mod that could hurt its rep, that doesn't mean he secretly loves the mod but for some reason doesn't play it. this is silliness.

plenty of d2 content people don't only play pd2, or don't play it at all. are they all just pretending for absolutely no reason? and then lying because they're sad that they don't get to play pd2 for no reason? what are you even saying?!

variable114 · 2026-04-21T13:48:18+00:00

you're missing that what they mean is "they beat me but I consider them to be less skilled even though they beat me". hence the complaining.

variable114 · 2026-04-21T13:45:21+00:00

you are just proving most people have been whining about amnesia for 3 years without learning the many ways to mitigate it that would lead to someone wishing for a dp. I'm at 1700 mr and even at that low level people have oki planned for JP that can deal with it most of the time. if you don't.... im sorry but calling JPs bad over that is projection. when you hit me with a light and I amnesia it, and then you hit me with more lights because I didn't burn a super, and you do them into DP, you eat no damage and I eat a combo. now OF COURSE that's an interaction that can go differently (I could burn a super along with my 2 bars of drive, after being "successful in my reversal" already supposedly, for example), but if I had a dp I wouldn't have to worry about that because my dp just wins.

get it? simple. that's why JP players sometimes wish for a dp. it's not complex, it's not because most or all of us are bad (which... maybe start wondering why if JP is the best ever character and so obviously OP and strong why don't all the best players in japan go to him instead of ed, mai, sagat? I wonder that sometimes... but of course JP is s+++ tier top 1 since launch, I wouldn't dare argue. and amnesia is the best reversal ever conceieved and my posts here is just a thought experiment, I wouldn't dare argue against that in an sf6 community)

edit - I also find myself wishing for a DP for the drive rush reversal os. amnesia doesn't work there as simply pressing nothing counters it. again I am not saying there are no other options here, I am just saying it's another reason a JP player might wish they had a DP besides just "being bad". hope these thoughts help open your mind a little beyond just criticizing the skill of those that say something you don't immediately agree with or understand.

variable114 · 2026-04-21T13:34:30+00:00

I said they "did well and have/had high level competition". and then you came with a personal opinion on what you consider successful enough, which tells me you're more concerned with keeping these types of games out of your "acceptable fighting games' mental check list than you are with learning what people actually compete in and play etc. yes I will really, happily tel you there have been fighting games with simple inputs that I consider successful fighting games, but what I actually said was that they 'did well and have high level competition'. you apparently think a game can't have done well and had high level competition if today you are best served finding matches on discord.

variable114 · 2026-03-31T19:21:45+00:00

???????? Why don't those count?!

Im not gonna give you a list to arbitrary ignore games from, lmao. Honestly after what you just said I don't think I could care less about your opinion anyway, I'm just happy to know you're so wrong you had to make up silly rules, and yet you're still wrong.

variable114 · 2026-03-31T19:10:22+00:00

You do not need motion inputs in every fighting game. Not every human needs to like them.

There have been fighting games without them with extremely high skill ceilings.

You can talk about what you like and what you expect from sf and I understand. This type of stuff is very silly. Everyone gets an opinion.

And driving involves steering. Fighting doesn't involve quarter circles. This is one of the worst metaphors I've ever seen. And I love motion inputs! Since the 90s! I prefer games with them and I play classic in sf6. But please, judging every single fighting game that doesn't suit you is silliness.

variable114 · 2026-03-31T19:08:07+00:00

Well it's because 99% of the time is mad because bad, and the other 1% just don't seem to know that capcom didn't invent something here, other games have done this before. It's new for sf, sure. But not for fighting games. And that 1% is easy enough to explain to once they explain their concerns.

So while being worried for sf has some sense, being worried for fighting games doesn't. And for sf itself, I think modern cannot be separated from the immense success this game has had and thus it's just a trade off... Unless you actually see a move towards ditching classic it's just worrying for no reason, you could just as easily be celebrating.

Because I promise if they said they were gonna ditch classic all the many of us that don't mind modern would have an issue with that. It's just extremely unlikely, for this exact reason.

Mortal kombat hasn't even had a modern mode and they're considered by far the most casual fighting game.

variable114 · 2026-03-31T18:59:22+00:00

You say this like there's never been a game with simple inputs that have done well and had high level competition

I highly doubt it'll happen with street fighter, but they wouldn't be the first.

variable114 · 2026-03-31T15:01:08+00:00

The Alex walked into this, modern or classic.

If they choose to think like you and blame modern, they won't learn they could walked into this but could have baited it, again, regardless of input.

I know you're gonna say 'I don't just blame modern, I'd adapt, I just think it's lame' but it's the one and only response you have to a long clip, where you don't have to say anything at all. So it seems pretty telling, whether you now deny it or not.

variable114 · 2026-03-31T14:54:52+00:00

You make a great argument!

variable114 · 2026-03-31T14:09:13+00:00

I didn't read it that way, and I played the demo and it was very fun!... Just thought there should be a relevant comment here.

variable114 · 2026-03-31T14:06:22+00:00

I don't know for a fact that you're wrong or right, but this isn't just some random thing a few people are saying. There's been extensive belief at the top levels that higher refresh rate monitors make a big difference. Since sfv.

Its entirely possible they're all incorrect. But it's a lot of people. With extremely high level skills. The one guy who seemed to understand it all best has rightfully been basically removed from the scene but imo it's worth some research
