Modern controls for Chun is missing like 3 of her basic attacks which includes her medium kick. pretty lame!

It really does seem like certain characters get way bigger drawbacks from Modern controls then others. This video gives a basic gist of what to expect for them (although does have a few mistakes like Ken’s specials actually being quite different from Ryu’s since his hadokens can’t be done Classically at all and is thus not able to vary their strength)
Here’s the spoiler (I thought I heard Modern Guile had some special tech to him though but maybe not enough)
Basically if having SPDs and DPs be one button and instant is real strong for anyone.

hmm. I wonder if I should just be playing M-Lily instead of C-Lily then
One of the only modern players I’ve encountered was a modern Lily. Also one of the only Lilys I’ve encountered. They had solid fundamentals so it was like playing against a good player who never ever dropped combos, it was…something.
Extreme Battle is actually fun. Specifically the one variant with the little megaman hard hat enemies and you have to perform 4 specific actions on the opponent before they do their 4 to you.

Been enjoying the Ross resurgence. Does he just live in Singapore now?
Went 2-2 in tourney again today. But one win was super laggy and the other was a bye. Didn’t play well, really really threw the final game. Really shoulda warmed up and cleared my head beforehand, but it’s fine. Had fun, will do better next time, I love this fucking game, i will continue to improve!!

This game is really fun! I love the relaxing battle hub music, nice vibe to chill in and recover from a loss.
I’ve been playing Manon, but I’m really tempted to try Marisa.

did an experiment last night and it feels like i rank up easier on more crowded servers. not that i care about my rank; it’s just a number. a stupid number. that i want to see go up. to assert my dominance and self worth as a street fighter.
anyway i have mostly been playing with Ryu - i like the way he feels in this game and he has a lot of options for different situations. i feel like in my heart i want to play as Lily or Kimberly, though; however, maining Ryu is usually what i do for the first few months of every new SF game when it comes out, until i have most of the characters attacks somewhat memorized.

Yeah, I’m trying hard to not worry about my ranking, but it’s hard to ignore those numbers going up or down at the end of a match. For me, it becomes a lot of anxiety about playing ranked in case I do lose a bunch.
It is strangely fun to lose repeatedly to a better player, but make inroads towards figuring out how to counter them. Like those 2-0 defeats start becoming 2-1 after a few matches.

I might go from Chun to Ryu but also Manon’s chipotle outfit is so good
Also all secondary outfits are chipotle outfits. Just so you all know.

My Capcom ID is CaptainLove. I’m not actually sure where you add IDs in SF6 itself.
Been working through the characters and ending up on Jamie most which I didn’t expect. I just dig his options and style. Also don’t feel so bad for losing in this one, I just enjoy exploring character’s options and the hits feel good.
I feel like it’s unclear why some characters have regular classic inputs preserved in Modern for some moves whereas others like Marisa just have the move removed wholesale (step kick in her case). Like I can chug drink and do my palm strike with Jamie so I don’t get the decision on some tradeoffs. Stubbornly gonna try Chun with modern as well. No-one can stop me.
Feel a lot better about this one than SFV though as it feels like I have way too much to do instead of blasting through all the content of the game in a day and being underwhelmed by the online experience. The music just feels like a really good chill playlist and everything is so positive and upbeat.
A little bummed that I’m having to take quite long breaks between play sessions because of my hands. Even with normal I think just having to use a controller on PS5 is doing me in. I may have to finally get a custom hit box.
I kinda wanna write an article about modern controls

None of my friends have been able to nab me by Capcom Id. It’s all my character name? Super weird. Axe Birdhair btw
playing the story mode i cant help but think about how koei replaced combo strings in dw9 with something that works sorta like modern controls’ assisted combos and i wonder if people would have liked dynasty warriors 9 any better if there was a classic controls equivalent in that game
