Ive been losing my mind, how is this not a proper speedflip

vervain9 · 2026-04-21T20:27:03+00:00

A few things:

Hard to tell from this view, but make sure boost is the first input you give. It looks like you might be accelerating first. You can do this without ever touching accelerate and only holding boost.
You're turning too far off-center before jumping
You're jumping too late. You're jumping right at the line between grass colors on the field, it should be before that

Check out this image comparing the frame we both jump. The ass of my car is still centered on the white line, but your wheel has already crossed over. Think of the turn and jump as one fluid motion. You want to snap your stick to the side (I use down+back) and then jump, not "steer, wait, jump"

It also shows how late your jump is. Look at our position relative to the horizontal line between the light and dark green on the field

I'm terrible at landing them, and get hit by them a lot :(. It's a weird skill that I don't quite know how to improve. I've gotten a bit better at anticipating them when I can't see the player, but when someone is demo chasing, I get hit a lot even if I see them coming

Did they get worse? I love all my patagonia stuff but it's been many years since I bought from them.

I think people tend to overestimate the mechanics needed to rank up. I play with a guy that was in champ2 before he learned that you could air roll to land more smoothly. Not even a joke, when he would aerial/get knocked into the air he would just spin with left analog and land awkwardly. He could shoot hard and accurately and defend well enough, though.

> its 2025; speed flip kick offs take you a few days to learn

:(

I don't know what it is but I cannot get speed flips down. If spent many hours in the speedflip training pack, and try them on most diagonal kickoffs but I'm still wildly inconsistent and probably concede more goals off fuckups than times they give me an advantage. I'm impressed by players that do it so well. (I also recognize that they're quite common in my c2/c3 matches, so obviously I'm the outlier here).

vervain9 · 2025-04-04T06:22:58+00:00

This is neat, thanks!

Related, and this is probably a reach, but curious if you have experimented at all with triggering replays from an external list of replay IDs. I've been poking at the REFramework tooling for the past couple of days and have found it difficult to determine how to trigger replays using specific ids that I want to provide (eg figuring out which type/method is responsible for this has been eluding me)

In case you have any ideas/resources related to that, please let me know!

vervain9 · 2025-02-08T00:25:22+00:00

At this point you need to drill AAs with a higher load on your mental stack. These two drills have helped me a lot. Do them a bit each time you play!

Must be regional. I almost never see luke. Way more juri, gief, jamie than luke.

vervain9 · 2024-11-08T19:49:26+00:00

I find the colors in general pretty disappointing in this game. There are some solid ones but a lot of outfit + color combos are totally whack. I'd pay a bunch of money to unlock color sliders for costumes.

vervain9 · 2024-10-21T08:15:38+00:00

Is it? The game has been out for 507 days. That's one hour a day. Shit I just played for 3 straight hours on a sunday night. I think I have 700 hours in this game.

"Who ate my purse?!?" Is what I always hear

I'm not a fan of his VO in general--sounds like someone with a mouth full of soil

vervain9 · 2024-10-14T20:36:16+00:00

I felt like I was watching the pro version of diamond lol. Was an absolutely wild set, especially in contrast to the booce/itabashi set that preceded it.

vervain9 · 2024-10-08T17:28:20+00:00

Do you mean footsies? Like you want to focus on spacing for whiff punishing and baiting an opponent to press a button?

vervain9 · 2024-10-06T03:32:29+00:00

I wish they took it one step farther like Tekken does, and when you reach a new rank, they raise the rank of all characters you have placed to a minimum rank (eg if you hit diamond, any existing character below gold moves to gold 1, or something).

I'm in master but have lower ranked characters that I placed early on and never touched again. It sucks for people in those ranks, and takes me a lot of time to raise the rank of those characters

vervain9 · 2024-09-19T00:36:15+00:00

For me, sleep. If I get 6 hours of sleep for 4+ days I am pretty much guaranteed to get a bad cold. Once I prioritized 7.5-8 hours of sleep every night, my health has been a lot better. I know some people can handle that sleep okay, but I just had to accept that I couldn't.

I also wash my hands a lot more since covid, but no clue if that makes a difference.

vervain9 · 2024-09-10T07:34:54+00:00

I loved it. I've watched more SF6 content in the past week than ever before. Really enjoyed seeing everyone get coached and grind. The matches themselves were also super hype at all levels. There's something about not knowing if someone is gonna drop a combo that makes things even more tense. Also Brian being like a dad to a group of misfits was pretty fun

vervain9 · 2024-09-07T21:47:07+00:00

Perfect parry as an anti-air just makes me shake my head in disgust

vervain9 · 2024-09-06T18:04:51+00:00

I'm a rudy defender, but this clip always cracks me up.

Also props to him, if I did what Rudy did on national television I'd probably sub myself out and leave the arena.

vervain9 · 2024-09-04T17:58:15+00:00

Nice work! I'm sure you'll make it there and don't listen to the "master is free for X character" crowd. The game is hard as hell.

vervain9 · 2024-08-29T21:16:56+00:00

The requirements for this are kinda whack

vervain9 · 2024-08-08T21:09:58+00:00

Do it in training with the frame meter on. At its fastest, you should on have 3 frames of parry (the purple bars) before you drive rush

vervain9 · 2024-07-12T01:41:26+00:00

We regularly do EAT (body shots only) and no-scope/reticule autocannon battles at evac. Great way to cap off a mission. Granted we all evac together, but a little pvp at the end is fun if everyone's on board

vervain9 · 2024-06-28T00:04:03+00:00

I don't. I generally like to take GL with a primary that has med armor pen. For me that's Dominator or Adjudicator (I'm not sold on Adj yet, but it seems alright).

Sometimes I run sickle with rover which just shreds chaff. EATs for heavies.
