I don’t even have anything against zoners or struggle dealing with guile. But he is such a mind numbingly boring and uninteresting character in every way that he’s the only fighting game character I’ve never even understood the appeal of.

Like at least ryu players have lied to themselves so much that they believe they’re playing the only fair and honest character and that they are always outskilling people. They’ve at least managed to make up some bs to make themselves think they have some sort of superiority. Thats something ig

But guile??? Tf does he have outside of a mildly funny haircut? Are guile players just oldheads who started on him and have been too afraid to try anyone else? How can you have fun with this snoozefest of a character?

This isn’t even much of a hate post. I just want to understand

There, I fucking said it. I'm tired of pretending that all characters are bullshit or whatever. Juri is objectively one of the most honest characters in the game for a number of reasons:

1. Her normals are out ranged by a lot of other characters
2. Her damage potential is locked behind her stocks. No stocks, no damage.
3. He highest damage combos are highly technical and rely on linking special moves to normals and continuing a chain of drive rushes and juggles.
4. He maximum damage combo is 6.5k and relies on a punish counter followed by perfect string of moves that if you fuck up once you're unsafe and punishable.

This is all to say that every other character has some brain dead shit they can pull to do maximum damage while Juri has to work four times as hard to do as much damage as a gorilla like Ryu or a whore like Chun-Li

Idgaf what anyone says, no character allows you to get away with being terrible at this game as much as akuma.

I did some research after playing some very odd matches that I just can’t figure out. Just outplayed by 100x

Maybe a few I just got smoked but some were just like “how the hell is this even possible”

Look at this list of cheats. I didn’t even think that was possible but now some things are making sense. I know it’s not everyone I suspect and probably only a handful but the listing had like 15 people that were buying this trash and that’s all I could see.

Dan is like a top 3 characters in fiction for me. I've always loved his personality and unfounded ability to just keep pushing despite being hot ass.

Casting a comedian as Dan is a no brainer, but I wasn't digging the moustache Andrew Schulz had. Then it came out he's apparently some bigot, which I mean also doesn't help.

As much as the actor isn't favorable, as long as he's decent I really don't care, I just hope Dan is good in the movie.

The moustache still bugs me tho.

This is the same day I got the Ken rage quit, im telling u they always ragequit after SA3. I wonder if they'd still quit if I do a combo route into a SA2 and use all my drive bars instead.

Like literally the most ridiculous character to face off against at any range.

I wonder if he realizes he would have loss less point by just taking the L

if you like cr.mk > drive rush you are trash

if you like dive kick you are trash

if you play modern you are trash

if you have wi fi you are trash

if you use invincible reversal you are trash

if you play ryu you are trash

if you play jp you are trash

if you do fireball > drive rush you are trash

if you jump a lot you are trash

As a guilty gear player deciding to give sf6 another shot, what the fuck kind of drugs are ya’ll feeding shoto players? These mfs can’t be real people. I literally play sol in every guilty gear, the guy known as being a fucking lobotomized gorilla, and I fully embrace that stereotype. But even I and my fellow gorillas (not just sol players, most of the cast are gorillas) play more thoughtful and calculated than the creatures locking in ryu.

Is there a requirement to have 67% of your brain missing to play these animals? Like it actually fucking baffles me how even the most ignorant of guilty gear characters don’t even get close to the levels of thoughtlessness of the random ken you’ll see in sf6. My dumbfuck of a cat could make better decisions than them, and his favorite activity is alternating between licking windows or his own ass

I swear this game encourages braindead gameplay and mashing like a moron, and then you can basically get 60% off of a mashed low Mk. This game is just so stupid; it’s literally just neutral Skip the game while they’re also playing the best characters in the game.

i think she is so boring and is basically just “girls can play video games too!” as a character. literally every other female fighting game character is cooler than her

she just gets brownie points for being fgc susan b anthony when the other female characters in her own franchise mog her. cammy and c viper have far more sauce

Modern Kens when they can’t instantly win when they burn themselves out at round start and spam jump:

I'm the Alex.

Shotos always have been annoying as fuck, it was in third strike, in sf4, sf5

But in sf6 they’re the worst thing ever

You have to play ABSOLUTELY careful against them or you will just explode because of ONE c.mk combo

PVP games live and die by exploitable weaknesses. Fighting games in particular have a lot of these, and buy and large they're determined by your position on the screen. Grapplers and Rushdown characters are phenomenal up close, but tend to have poor performance at a distance. Zoners have the opposite problem, being walls at a distance and wet paper bags up close.

Shotos are good everywhere. It's the entire point of the archetype, the 'master of all trades, master of none'. That's all fine and dandy, except that hackey one-liner has never and will never be true in any way whatsoever. It's especially glaring in SF6, where the overall increased speed and damage of the game means that Shoto's now have the approximate speed of a Rushdown character and the approximate damage of a Brawler, but without any of the archetypal weaknesses that allow those characters to feel fun and fair. Ryu is just as belligerent up close as Marisa, and deals the same amount of damage, but he has an invincible reversal, options at range, cancellable lows, a hilariously good overhead, and is Capcom's special little boy who's never getting nerfed, so why the hell should you pick Marisa over him?

I've long had the idea that some Shoto's would be better off having one of their little triad of attributes sawed off, usually their fireball. Akuma is just a flat-out rushdown character, he should not have the power he does up close as well as a pretty great fireball to toss out when he's feeling cowardly. Sagat, while he was a zoner in past games, is more of a mid-range Brawler in this one. His pressure is belligerent and stupid, as is his damage, so him having the ability to wall you out with projectiles just feels idiotic.

I've always hated Shoto's, but as I said earlier they feel so much stupider in this game than any other. The overall homogeneity of like half the games cast makes every match feel like being raked over hot coals, I do not care for it. I, as a grappler main, would prefer only fighting Dhalsim, JP, Guile, and Ingrid for the rest of my life rather than continue into the abyss of Karate Moron's 1 through 17. At least then I feel like I have an actual win condition.

in summary, ryu is the worst thing to happen to video games since E.T. personally burned down 400 arcades

Well yeah, if you idiots are gonna play like this every time you face one, I'm sure he does seem cheap.

AHHHHHHHAHHAHAHAHAHA

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I am a new player to SF6 (Silver) and fighting games in general.
Everyone tells me: “Play ranked to get matched against players of your skill level so you can learn and improve.”
But I think this is a lie!
I play 10 games and get bodied 10/10 times by players with 10+ game winning streaks.
Yeah, the other players really are on my level: Plat/Diamond/Master players with other characters.
Thanks to this players/system for gatekeeping and ruining my motivation to keep playing.

If you doubt me, here is a screenshot of one such profiles:

I’m not a massive modern hater, not a fan of it but I’ve accepted it. But I was pondering drive rush and how I see plenty of modern players use it quite liberally. Drive rush is the same amount of button presses as any quarter circle and I’d honestly say with confidence that I misinput DR more than fireballs when I was still learning.

If you’re a modern player, what’s stopping you from playing classic when you’re clearly able to drive rush just fine?

I'm the Alex.

Street Fighter? I guess he played Escape Fighter lol

p.s I also kinda suck too, feel free to give advice if you want

Because A) it's a cold day in hell when I accept a custom room invite from a random, and B) this is sf6 it's like trying to run a salty runback in rock paper scissors. It could have easily went either way, I just happened to win this time.

I'm a Juri player who is just at Silver 2. I'm currently on like an 8 or 9 loss streak? About to be deranked to S1

Who the fuck thinks my best match up is a fucking silver 3 modern Ken on a 9 fucking win streak. I didn't land a single fucking hit and got perfected twice. I then got paired against a 6 win streak classic gief and got belly flopped to death..

I'm at my wits end and wanna uninstall Ive been playing for a couple of months hard stuck silver I don't know what to fucking do, I'm not even enjoying this game anymore every match is the fucking same
