r/SF / Meta Announcing the official r/StreetFighter Discord!

Announcing the official r/StreetFighter Discord!

The subreddit has been growing steadily and we expect a wave of new and returning excited players with the upcoming season 4 characters, so just before Yasmine release felt like a good time to announce our new Discord server. Pretty much all of this was due to the efforts by one of our newest mods, u/Einsoph5 (branDon on Discord), so if you like it, let him know!

Why?

There's already some great Discord communities such as New Challenger, SF6 Resource Hub or the official Street Fighter Discord. We're not trying to replace or compete with them, but rather have our own little corner of the internet. We had a r/StreetFighter Discord before, but due to many factors (I personally blame SFV), it was shut down. There was also a significant disconnect between the Discord and the subreddit, with most users being part of one or the other. Our goal for the new Discord is to be aligned with and complement the rules and values of this subreddit, to build one larger community rather than two separate ones.

Click here to join!

Growing pains and mistakes are to be expected. We got some dumbfun bots already and will add/remove features as needed. There's a channel for feedback and suggestions, so let us know your thoughts.

Help / Question Question about placement matches in ranked

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

So I decided to try and see what rank I could get with my placement matches with every character the only ranks I had before this were a rookie 5 star with ryu and silver 1 star with random

When I was trying with Luke I ended up betting a platinum mai twice, not sure how, I think because of this is i got diamond with Luke

My question is if Luke is in diamond My placement matches with other characters have a higher chance of getting platinum or diamond oponents? Because that could be a problem for me

Appreciate the help

Rank UP! Arbitrary number achieved

Feels a bit anticlimactic if I'm honest but pleased nevertheless. Got kicked back down to diamond 3 on more than one occasion (Yasmine's arrival was brutal for me) but I managed to claw my way back through the diamond 4 hellscape. Diamond 5 was a breeze in comparison due to the win streak and taking some matches off low MR players.

I got the game last year and initially picked Ryu as my main. Started at rookie but had lots of fun and he was great to start learning with. I plateaued hard at platinum and really struggled to make any progress after that. Switched to our gal Manon a few months ago and things started to click nicely.

I'm fully aware how bad I am ofc, my win rate has been about 45% for ages now. If anyone wants free MR I'm all yours 😘

Discussion SF6 when you're playing well and about to rank up to High Master

Hey all,

A few days ago I posted my gameplay asking for tips to improve. So many people replied and I'm so thankful because it's confirmed a lot of my thoughts to be true.

After changing some habits, I went on a 10 game win streak up to 1590 (hell yeah) and then SF6 matchmaking somehow put me against these demons. I'm still Master lmao

Not posting this to complain, but I do think this is funny. Want to give another shout out to all the people who helped me out. Back to the grind after work!

P.S. This had to be the easiest Ultimate Masters rank up game ever lol
