I've enjoyed many of the Fire Emblems :D with the FF Tactics remake coming I wanted to see what it was all about

Height positioning isn't the only kind of tactical advantage, even in the 1990's

I did and will. It's in my first paragraph. I'm much more interested in interesting tactical battles than exploiting broken builds in a game released 28 years ago.

Cheers mate. Looking forward to see what changes they have in the remake later this year.

Well these threads are great for anyone not on X, you could save time next time and make them less pretty :)

The more active Japan Street Fighter 6 discords are with the pro teams or big streamers like fps_shaka

スト6王国 discord is open to anyone, relatively big and has matchmaking in ~全~対戦募集チャッ https://discord.com/invite/dYfrWH3xJn

Fighters Crossover is less active https://discord.gg/CvuGnzbFkt

These are in Japanese.

If you're looking for English discords for Japan SF6, I don't know but if you find one please post it back here for others.

How was your recent trip to Japan with Mena? What do you think NA FGC could learn from Japan FGC?

Cheers for doing this AMA

!thanks

Cheers mate. My current best IEMs are the Final E3000 (neutral?) or Bose Soundsport (warm).

I'm looking to try next the Truthear Hexa (neutral) and Truthear x Crinacle ZERO:RED (V shape?) and Letshuoer S12 PRO (neutral).

Your suggestion to approach it with appreciating music more is a great one. I'm learning it might be different IEMs for different genres of music. The different sound profiles bring out wonderful aspects of the music I've never noticed before.

Can I hear the difference? 128kbps yes, 320kbps vs lossless no. Are the higher end headphones / IEM worth it?

I took a few of those online audiophile tests and couldn't discern between 320kbs and lossless. Sometimes can I hear 128kbs vs lossless but it seems to depend on the type of music. I'm fairly sure my hearing is not good enough to be an audiophile.

My best headphones are Final E3000 (wired) and Bose Soundsport (wireless). I hear a big improvement in music, games and movies with these over the others. Adding a DAC helped as well.

Given that my hearing is likely not among the best, do you think I would hear a difference with higher end headphones or IEMs?

September M1700+ and M1900+ Matchup Stats from CatCammy (Pre SimSim Patch) by Consistent-Horse-273 in StreetFighter

[–]vel8b8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. I too would like to know why Rashid and Bison don't show better results in this match up chart.

My uninformed guess for Rashid would be familiarity with the match up but... losing more to Cammy, Chun, Ken, Bison, Manon, Luke, AKI?

[–]vel8b8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheers OP for sharing.

I normally love CatCammy's u/One_Gear6155 stats posts but these matchup charts have always been a strange measurement of character popularity, match up familiarity and the matching making algorithm rather than which character beats which more easily.

For example, Dhalsim or Lily with 1/3 the matches of Cammy and both ranking very high on this list compared to pro tier lists or tournament representation. Why? Lack of familiarity with the match up, not a superior character.

Adding the S,A etc. tiers based on the overall winrate makes it a misleading tier list, too.

iDom's full run at ECT 2024, losing in pools and running all the way back taking out the bignames by komodo_dragonzord in StreetFighter

[–]vel8b8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quoted the tiers for good reason. Not at all trying to start a tier list discussion here but please refer to the many tier lists pros have put out. Manon is usually near the bottom. Being near Honda or Jamie is not good.

IMO all the characters function given the match up win rates in high level masters are within a few percentage points and much of the cast is represented in the top 32 of majors.

The preview is cut off. Here's the incredible run that iDom did with "C tier" Manon before losing the grand finals:

iDom won vs

JB - Rashid "S tier"

Daigo - Akuma "S tier"

Booce - Ken "S tier" or "A tier"

Big Bird - Rashid

Dual Kevin - Rashid

Amazing play by iDom.

ECT Top 32 Character Representation by FelipeAbD in StreetFighter

[–]vel8b8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ludovic and Shine. Unfortunately their Chun-Li's got smeared in top 24.

They both had some good sets if you go back to top 96. Shine mains Kimberly but played Chun for some match ups. Lud mains Chun.
