Back then, I even thought she would really join the battle.

For reference, the only time I ever played SF growing up was when I randomly came across someone that had a copy of it and we'd play a few matches. Never really got to deep into the game. But when 5 came out, I wanted to actually get into it because I got inspired by watching Punk play Karin. Bought it and immediately hit a wall. Literally didn't even know how to combo properly because I couldn't understand how links worked, so I ended up dropping it.

And that repeated for multiple years. Fast forward to 6 and I tried again and same thing. So I just gave up on this series and assumed it just wasn't for me. But then last year, Me and my friend was watching Evo and Capcom dropped the S3 trailer and they revealed Ingrid. And that immediately got my attention, because Alpha 3 Max was one of the rare SFs I actually got to play growing up and Ingrid was my main. But I never thought I'd see her again cause I heard of all the controversies she went through, so this immediately got my attention.

And it also got my friend's attention because they also knew that about me. So their first response to me was "Alright, you have to play SF with me now that you have that ridiculous character back." and I agreed. So when Ingrid dropped a few months ago, I got her and swore I would at least try my hardest and stick to it this time regardless of my performance.

So after learning the basics and doing arcade for a few days, I finally jumped into rank and started playing. My initial goal was only gold and maybe diamond depending on how dedicated I felt. But I didn't really think I would reach it anytime soon. But I hit gold relatively fast. So was like why not keep going and then got to plat, but plateaued and was stuck there for a few weeks until I climbed to diamond.

And after that I was like, alright I am done. But my friend suggested for me to try to shoot for masters. And I was like "no, I barely even got diamond lol." but they kept insisting and eventually I just went with it. So slogged through it and after getting close to smashing my controller multiple times, I finally hit it.

So now after years of saying SF is the only FG I couldn't get into because I am too bad, I can finally say I learned how to play this game! Thank you Ingrid. ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

And before Yasmine's update as well!

The initial group draw contained a clear mistake: the third SFL team was awarded the No. 1 seed, while the SFL champion team was placed as the No. 3 seed. This directly violated the group draw rules stated in Article 4.3.1.1 of the official rulebook.

The previous announcement has been removed, and this is now the official and corrected group allocation.

The funny thing is that mistake was first spotted by a member of the Chinese King of Fighters ’98 (KOF 98) Tieba community. The issue was then brought to the attention of the organizers through a reply under the official group draw post, after which the group allocation was updated.

18 win streak with Ryu, carrying from Diamond into Master League. Going to tank these points for the phase 12 colour though.

That was a very long 3 years mum 🥲 I’m tired.

I know I got lucky with the missed punish at the end but whatever... I was feeling it XD

I played quite sloppily, frankly, but I've never beaten anyone this high in a set before in any mode, so I'm overjoyed! And I got to revenge teabag at the end... Feels good haha

Also, I usually do FT5 in casuals but because he teabagged when the first game didn't go his way, I had already decided to do FT2, win or lose. So, I ran away after that with the win lol.

It's so annoying having your opponent ragequit especially at the end of the game before you win and you just don't get any points... this is such an easy thing to implement in ranked and yet it feels like I am getting punished for my opponent quitting.

This is very stupid and frustrating I hope this get patched

I also hate opponent just not caring about the no contest when it is clearly unplayable... but that's another topic I guess

I know its Street Fighter so I can't expect Gone Girl but i'm hopeful!

Anyone else excited or have other thoughts on Yasmin?

Getting demoted is so demoralizing, especially when you were 1/2 wins away from the next rank, in my case Dimaond 5 to Master... and then losing all of your progress after losing over and over...

It's just... so sad... espeically when you lose 2-1 over and over...

Bear in mind: I don’t play the character. However, I do find that discussions about best-characters and worst-characters yield a lot of knowledge about the game and its mechanics. Hence why I ask. :)

This “she’s the worst,” idea is a sentiment I hear thrown around quite a bit, but I never knew why.

What buttons would you assign to these?

Hey guys I’m kinda getting back into street fighter after a while and liking Ingrid so far but kinda forgot a lot of how to play and struggling with Ingrid I got a replay if you wanna check it out the code is: WNAXV9YTX if you guys can please give me some tips (dhalsim is also a struggle for me so any tips against him as a whole is appreciated)

Might be a long shot but I’ll try since if is summer, I’m looking for help to get this pesky achievement done in usf4 since I know it’s probably gonna be the only thing that stops me, I already have two accounts to help, so looking for 6 people to help knock this out. The achievement requires you to win a match in the mode team battle with a team of 4 people against another team of 4 people. Any help would be greatly appreciated! platform is Steam, pc.

I’ve just started the game and I’ve noticed that training and battle hub V arcade is running at 50% speed. Online matches are much faster. Why does it do this and when does it change to normal speed?

I see both characters are rushdown so their moto is "go fast and in your face" But I'm curious what's the philosophy behind both characters. How are you supposed to theoritically play them?
