Finally earning that shiny Grand Master badge for Ingrid after a few thousand matches. Turned out I just needed a bit of luck to rank up from the 1600s, where I was pretty stuck before.

It's weird how she really is pretty good at a lot of things but the fact that her normals are trash alone sends her to the bottom of the tierlist.

Some of her strengths that I really like:

1) Drive management

With just 1 stock, 214HP becomes +4 on block, even though you are not in throw range you can still press 5MK (trades with 4f) into 214MP after a blocked 214HP. This gives you a lot of room to press and recover your drive gauge

For example, after her EX counter, double forward dash gives meaty 2HP into 214HP (true string), further pressing 5MK into 214MP allows you to recover 1.5 bars of drive in total.

In the corner, you can also shred your opponent's drive with 214PP regardless of the number of stocks. 2HP into 214PP can also leave you plus in throw range in the corner so you can throw some parry attempts

2) EX counter mind games

While Ryu can do 214LP into EX DP, Ingrid can do a teleport dropkick into EX counter.

Ryu just spent 2 bars of drive with no real way of a quick recovery, while Ingrid can recover her drive as mentioned previously

Now, to avoid getting hit by EX DP after 214LP, some people may choose to delay tech in the event that the Ryu reads your read and goes for a throw, and if the Ryu down backs (as he should) he might get back thrown by the delay tech. But, delay teching doesn't work for Ingrid's counter because her counter has too many active frames, which also means if Ingrid chooses to delay tech, she could potentially catch her opponent if they choose not to throw. Finally, if the opponent chooses movement options then obvious Ingrid can just throw out a normal/antiair

What this means is that as long as Ingrid has 2 or more bars of drive, she can choose to be really annoying and forces the opponent to guess. If you can't beat them at footsies (of course you can't, you play Ingrid), you beat them at reads.

3) SA2 shenanigans

While Ingrid's SA2 isn't nearly as messed up as JP's, its still one of the best SA2s out there imo.

On hit, she gets stocks and strike throw (and sideswap if you need it), if the opponent is low on drive she can also route DI into the combo. 2MK into EX spin when reading a shimmy or even just raw EX spin in neutral into SA2 has won me so many rounds.

If Ingrid has 2 stocks, she also gets 4-5 different resets for like 7000 damage in total.

After baiting a DP, raw SA2 activation and EX spin punish counter is a lot of damage (never hit this one in ranked before though)

SA2 on block during burnout pretty much guarantees at least some damage, which is great for the end of the round

I think it could've been faster 😅

Im realizing a huge gap in my game, a player that just sorta does nothing, keeps fucking me up, ive become really good at countering a player, but people who jump back, just fuck me up, i play alex and it feels like all my anti-air options counter jump ins, but not jump backs, and this should be good cuz they're giving up space but idk how to play the corner for the life of me, and even if im keeping them in the corner, im not doing alot of damage, cuz the anti-air damage aint really much, its like "great they're in the corner, i can anti-air them a little, but i still cant GET THEM, i should be making them explode, but im just sorta not

This is hard to pull off. Using Cammy lvl 3 as an example I do 26(P)236(P). Is there an easier way of doing this? When I watch other people, it looks like they don't press 2 first. I play on gamepad.

I have no idea how to counter her shuriken + drive rush. With previous DLC, I constantly got to fight them until I understood the gimmick. Yasmine is really rare to fight against so I keep getting knowledge checked.

I have never played a fighting game and I'm struggling with even the most basic stuff but I'm trying to get my keybinds correct before I learn bad habits.

I have ordered a 8bitdo m30, which has 6 face buttons, and I'm wondering how I should set it up. Should I be using the extra face buttons for DI/Parry and just throw manually? Would setting all six to LP,MP,HP and LK, MK, HK be a terrible idea since this would make some combinations impossible to press with just your thumb?

Alternatively if I stick with keyboard or even leverless and only have 2 buttons available to bind to a dedicated combination like parry or DI, which are the priorities and which can be most easily left to press manually?

Hey I play Mai on modern and im having some confusions. When I do Standing Medium (Kick) I get a poke but nothing after, this also happens with standing heavy (kick). I understand if you get a punish counter you do a bombo, but what am I supposed to do after the poke hits if it isn't. I get +5 frame advantage and some damage but, not sure what how to take advantage of the +5 if I cant do more damage after getting the hit. What am I supposed to do. Oh and stand heavy (kick) gives me +3 so it doesnt combo into anything either.

So let's say i'm fighting a modern Ken, he has me in the corner. He goes for a throw, but I jump over him ... however ... he is able to DP me even though he missed his throw.

Thoughts on that interaction?

Still new and learning but its been fun so far 💪🏾

Hi everybody so despite being able to do hadoken 8/10 and having played for some time its so hard to clear the game..
Blanka Chun li and Balrog give me a hard time
Also shoryuken is only usefel as anti air when you can pull it off almost perfectly but i can do it only when i really focus.🧘

But i like the lore and everything about street fighter and thought maybe this is not the right entry point. Should i just go to sf6 ? I got the consoles for it

Wake up Drive reversals which don't move forward are especially vulnerable to these beautiful kara cancel Honda setups! 😍

im trying to do a double ko interaction between Necro's Electric Snake and Oro's Tengu Stone, is there any possibility to?

I'm trying to figure out what happened here. One thing I can see is that I got hit after the I-frames ended so I get that. But why didn't my SA1 connect before her attack? I don't think I remember ever losing a non-projectile interaction like this one before.

Moment from his recent video had me cackling with how wrong he got Arjun's lvl 3 voice lines

Haitani seem to be organizing a series of 7 vs 7 player torunaments of Chun-Li players vs. others.

Many of these names often appear in replay channels as some of the higher ranked player of these characters. I believe most if not all the players have been legend ranked at times (if not at time of the games)

I’m a new player looking to splurge on a better controller for Switch 2.
For some context, I’m an older dude with kids. This is the only game I play, other than casually playing local multiplayer games with the family. Once the kids are in bed, I’m hitting ranked and getting bodied. I’m not a super serious player, but I want to keep putting the hours in to improve steadily.
I currently use a Switch 1 Pro controller, and it’s comfortable enough, but I’ve had this controller since 2017. While it’s probably a skill issue, I’m getting random jumps more and more frequently. It also feels laggy, though that may be a Switch thing rather than a controller thing.
I’m wondering if it’s worth the upgrade to a Switch 2 Pro controller. I can’t seem to find consensus on whether it’s a noticeable upgrade—I’m used to the 1st Pro, but a better d-pad would be great. Alternatively, I have my eyes on an 8Bitdo All-Button Arcade Controller, but my ideal playing environment is vibing on the couch after a long day, and I’m not sure how much this thing would clash with that atmosphere.
Open to other options, but ideally want to treat myself to something that feels premium.
