i like watching ricki ortiz stream because she’s incredibly experienced and not a twitch blowhard so her commentary is usually insightful

Played my first in-game tournament. Single elim and I went 1-1 and 0-1, lol. Made top 4 in the the first one cuz there were just 7 entrants.

I’ve found myself somewhat addicted to watching Daigo’s stream as a wind-down right before bed. His SF6 Ken is more entertaining than his SFV Guile was. And I can’t understand what anyone’s saying which probably helps a lot.

Avatar fights are pretty cool - Some fascinating combo optimizations by the winged Juri style avatar player. I can only imagine what creative combo routes will be available once the game has 40+ characters to pick moves from in a few years.

I really only do them to get drive tickets as rewards but they would be pretty fun if they maybe limited your max HP to like half or something. Even in that video you posted where people are doing good combos and everything it still ends in Time Out which which is even more common in online fights.
But yeah, it can get nutty

Well, I finally did it and the fight that pushed me over the edge was a one-and-done Modern Dhalsim that I’ve run into numerous times. Fitting, I guess. You get runners way more often with Honda and it’s very hard not to read saltiness into the way so many of these boobs play and behave. Motherfuckers heard “just parry headbutt” so they keep doing it even if there are no headbutts, even if I’ve Punish Counter Oicho’d them 7 times in one fight, really think I benefited more from the character’s rep than the actual character if you know what I mean, whatta buncha goofs.
Ignore all the times I fall prey to the same tactic or fail to cancel into sumo dash or repeatedly DI even though I am slapping myself and shouting “STOP HITTING DI”, that’s all less embarrassing than holding parry at half screen for half a fuckin set.

I enjoyed this replay. The EX command grabs at the end of each round were glorious. ^ _^

I just grabbed this game on the game awards sale, what’s the discord and in game club?

Club is StreeOverlords, which you should be able to join without an invite. We have a Stree Overlord channel/role on the Beautiful Game Discord, think that’s where most of the SB FG action’s been this year

I still play this every other to every day for a bit. I don’t do as much training room practice as I should but it’s just a lot of fun to get decent at one character at the time. Never have gotten further then Platinum rank still. After beating World Tour mode I’ve gone from playing Modern Kimberly to Classic Chub-li to C Ryu to C Dee Jay and now learning JP (mostly because he seems like he might be first on the chopping block for January 
)
I’d be up to play some sets with anyone whenever too!
Since this is the general streeting thread I also want to add that I the dlc costume thing is so bullshit. Even me who thought I was realistic by expecting them to cost 6 bucks each but at least thought there would be a bundle for a few of them at a discount and probably would have bought 2 or 4 of them am still just so put off by the whole vbucks situation of being forced to buy more for one that I’ve just ignored them completely. Sucks because some of them are real good!

I’m still playing between bigger singleplayer stuff tho I have ended up exclusively playing Jamie and AKI so the joke’s on me. Still enjoying it despite not having the pockets for new outfits.

Capcom cup finals was a lot of fun to watch this year!
Game is getting its first real balance patch now too since release alongside Ed release:
For general updates the only major one I see is that you can now change the geographical region to search (hopefully will allow you to expand it) in your matchmaking settings.
Here’s the full list of balance changes. They have said this is only a relatively small balance update with a more major one coming “later”.
Just gonna summarise the stuff that seems important:
- Luke: cMP, air Flash Knuckle and his SA1 are nerfed
- Jamie: Can now take a drink after his forward throw, SA1 buffed and he will now keep his previous drink level after SA2 runs out
- Ryu: All versions of Hashogeki (the non projectile hadoken) have been buffed in various ways (Light version is now -3 on block instead of -4!), Hadoken and SA1 have reduced hurtboxes, and his advancing gut punch is now a bit more threatening
- Ken: Forward throw nerfed when done into the corner, OD air Tatsu nerfed
- Zangief: OD Lariat buffed (can now combo into SA3??), SA1 and SA2 buffed with a bigger hitboxes
- Chun-li: LP and air Lightning Kicks nerfed
- Dee Jay: Funky Slicer (the low attack follow up after his back sway special) nerfed
- Manon: En Haut (her MK target combo that end in an overhead) now travels further when drive rushed and her SA2 buffed so it’s supposed to actually hit and combo more consistently now
- JP: HP and cHP nerfed, both regular and OD Amnesia have a bunch of nerfs, Departure (the portal spikes) also has some. Shared between the last two is that your opponent recovers chunk more drive gauge if they parry them (not even perfect parry)
- Rashid: OD Spinning Mixer has more air invul
- AKI: MP and cLP buffed

This guy is an AKI main and actually seems pretty happy with them (38:27 in the video if the time code link doesn’t work)

Fixing AKI’s jab is really nice at least, that thing drove me nuts before, maybe my biggest issue with her.
Yeah the jab buff was needed. But are they improving standing as well? She can feel a lil stubby at times. Her antiairs need a bit of tweaking as well but I think overall the changes are good. I’ve just spent a long time with some gimped stuff. God I also hope Jamie’s antiairs get some kind of accuracy fix, whiffing them when it’s the correct read and looks as though it’ll hit is pure pain.

New patch is out. I am relieved that I do not have to totally relearn this game, or my characters. This has been a rarity with FG updates. I appreciate it so much. But I also hate it, because fighting games are my weakness, they are my passion, I should not be playing fighting games…for they are danger games, to me.
Or maybe I should just never play any other video games I dunno they all kinda suck compared to this, this shit rocks, glad I can finally make the in-game music All Good Stuff thanks to this jukebox feature.
Also maybe I spoke too soon, maybe they gutted Honda, but I can play other characters…I can play them just fine…

He’s got a few buffs though. His MK just goes straight over a lot of lows now. Surprised that Blanka ball didn’t get similar nerfs like headbutt did though
