She had a lot of cool, unquie moves. I like her blades, and I like how she at least as some different attacks compared to Cammy. Overall, I think the newcomers in IV are better than some of V's.

I used to play Tekken 7 casually and recently got interested in SF6 from the anime 'Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games'. Bought an 8bitdo leverless because i'm used to playing on keyboard and started a few days ago. Would appreciate the help in what I can improve in and what I kind of habits I should avoid doing.

I wanna get your guys' opinion on if Ed is hard or not? I heard there was a lot of discourse about it a while ago and was wondering if the community has come to an agreement on whether or not he is hard or easy. I know that there is not really any character that takes rocket science to learn and that most characters arent noticably more technically demanding than others. But I want to know if compared to other characters he is more-or less of a struggle to get good with.

What is the difference between these two versions ?

TLDR: i want to be a respectful player by not throw looping and being adhd in ranked. I just can’t get into that mentality. I want to be a fun match skill matchup. I think Elena is not A or S+ but since I’m not a pro player and only High Master I feel as my opinion doesn’t really matter tbh.

when I first got this game it was because my friend (he’s top juris in NA) kept begging me for months to get the game. Overtime I was conditioned watching him do really cool 40 hit fse combos. I eventually cracked, played ryu got him high master, switched to Elena got her high master and now trying to get GM. I have 780 in game, 1050 according to steam.

I love this game so much. There’s no competitive game like it. But I feel like mentally I’ve hit a huge wall of trying to either win a game. I’ve lost lots of matches trying to give people some really good matches. I like footsies and neutral play. Maybe bc Elena is sorta designed around it altho her neutral skip isn’t the good. But I don’t like throw looping or throwing all together, it feels cheap and icky to win that way. I want to win by pure skill and knowledge checking and adapting ya know. It’s something I take pride in, honing my anti airs, DI reactions, light confirms, knowledge checks.

In ranked anyone will do anything to get a win and I hate it bc I’m very susceptible to random adhd gameplay. I know how to stop ryu, I got him to HM but people play so weird you think well maybe he wouldn’t do this dumb crap again and it’s just he’s does it over and over and over until I’m so far gone in the mix and mind games he ends up winning and he’s like 200 points under me. People do the craziest things to win and I dunno how to peer to that mindset. I need help mentallly I really wanna crash out bc I know how to stop all this and play my character but it’s hard

Another thing is I feel like a lot of pro players rank Elena as A or S tier but I just don’t agree and bc I’m not even GM maybe my opinion isn’t valid. She has phenomenal mix. But compared to what tools a true S tier has. There’s no way she isn’t C tier at least? Half her kit whiffs on crouching, no drive rush low forward, her low forward target combo whiffs half the time and I don’t have the best reactions to confirm it on hit altho I’ve been drilling. You can confirm the first hit of her medium punch but the 2nd will whiff if crouching. She doesn’t have access to spin move on crouching light kick but ryu has access to every button in his kit at almost all time. I’m not asking for a lot of dmg either I understand like if cammy had a lot of dmg she would be Triple S+. But idk I feel like I have to work sooo hard to win and condition my opponents. Her spinning thru projectiles isn’t really reliable unless it’s full screen but most people can mash or low forward even if you get past the projectile. So on standing light confirms you are forced to lose oki to settle for dp if they are crouching, rhino horn when they are standing. It’s alot to look out for when playing so the mental stack to me is so much. I have to always be locked in or I’ll lose and the fact most people dont wanna play footsies im at a huge disadvantage here. Also in drive rush if i check with low forward sometimes they are crouching so they get a free punish. This is all a skill issue at the end of the day

Still on the grind to GM. My name is Arthur Morgan in game if anyone has seen Elena playing in causal or ranked. I know I can do it but I’m having a really rough time.

Hi guys, im kinda new to sf6, came here from T8, love this game but the only problem i had was the slow/unresponsive feeling when comboing, especially the 1/4 circle usually not come out, like 2 out of 5 times. Like in the clip i tried to lvl 3 after 2 LP and failed twice while the input history buttons was correct. Am i missing anything or any controle i should change ?

Note: Im playing on PC and use keyboard

It won’t let me play the game without it updating. I was able to get in once, but now I can’t. Every time it tries to update it immediately fails. I’m connected to the internet and “xbox live”. Just wondering if anyone has a work around.

What do you think it’s due to? It’s still strange that a game so widely disliked sold so well. Mind you, I love this Street Fighter V and I will never understand the hype it generated. Fortunately, the sales were there to prove otherwise, at least from my point of view

I was so afraid of losing my MR that it threw me off my game completely. Granted, it was late, but I got matched against some good players beforehand. Ranked can sometimes really mess with your psyche because there's a potential 24 MR point loss here and I dunno why they throw these curveballs every so often.

Hey all,

Been hardstuck with Viper for months now. Can anyone take a look at this game and provide an outside perspective? I tried to choose one of my worst games for critique.

Most of the time, I feel like it's tough to open up opponents who know how to interact with seismo burn kick shenanigans but also tech every throw. I also think this game showcases a problem I have with certain types of players such as this Ken.

Any help would be appreciated!

I have made a new YT video covering Yasmine's Launch. Feel free to support me !

Well, i finally broke out of plat and hit diamond. After an insane tortuous cruel 1k hours and i know it’s not master but you know.. the finish line is pretty much right there to master. My dilemma is ..i’m kind of bored of my main now. I would feel like running back to the start and starting the race over with a new character but i just got bored of him (sagat) and want to try C.Viper. Do you guys think it’s worth it to leave my main in diamond and start over with viper or just grind it out and hit master with sagat??

...he is very very evil...

I didn't know YouTube can do that, what kind of voodoo is this?! xD

One of the reasons why I play guile is due to my hatred of doing the double QCF motion. However, I think I'm hitting a ceiling in my gameplay so I'm finally going to try and incorporate it into my game as I want to be able to activate level 2 for burnout strings/chip damage. I've hit 1800 MR the last couple of seasons, but it's hard to maintain the rating without the additional threat/option.

I'm currently having the most success just doing a 450 motion but it gets tiring trying to practice it.

Going from down to left is super easy for me given the stick position (and probably at least a 90% success rate).

The consensus, more or less, is that Ryu is Top 5.

1) Would he still be top tier with 9.000 health?

2) Would Akuma replace Ryu if he had 10.000 health?

In my opinion is time to give Akuma 9.500 health and maybe tone down his damage by 5%. Or they could tweak his 5HK to act more like Solar Plexus (jk).

Really like playing as ken. Also, i'm not very good at fighters. But that doesn't mean i don't like them. I love street fighter 2. This is just 5 stars, and on the easier super famicom version of new challengers. But still i think thia game is great. What's your favourite version?

....very evil video....(also he had a seizure trying to punch makoto)
