A lot of people dip because they hate a certain matchup, and shitty matchups are Zangief's specialty.

Right, but compared to SF6, T8 has been doing rapidfire updates since launch. I don't think they're doing updates half-cocked but rather opinions on whats a problem change with a little more time. There approach is more traditional of attempting to fix problems kind of as they come up. I give them some slack as this is the first time they've launched without the safety net of an arcade version.
that's possible, but i've also noticed that the 3 past gameplay trailers also dropped on or a day before Thursday so I'm leaning on that pattern to follow suit hopefully
I'm not surprised to see Ryu, Jamie, & Blanka high up on that list. I think most of the people who've one-n-done'd me played one of those characters (+ Honda mains)
That feeling of realizing Sim's gotta do MUCH more to neutral jump that one just fell for 3 times. *rejoins queue*

Curious to see how the game evolve with the future expansion. We know we're getting Super and Ultra.
I hope they don't do much. SFV AE was a bit of a downgrade from vanilla.
SF6's is perfect. I wanna see all the new characters to come on that screen.
And if you change the CSS theme I just ask two thing. Keep it Hip Hop and give us an option to choose between the new one and Not on the Sidelines
I'm going to say 20-24 dlc characters by the end of the game
There's enough room for a column on both sides, so hopefully we will be good for the time being. Would hate to see this CSS go since it's my favorite one ever.
That data doesn't say who is doing the one-and-done'ing, just which characters end up being involved in one-and-done's. And given the way people here and twitter talk about the characters, it's likely majority them being one-and-done'd lol. Blanka and Sim especially, people seem to hate playing these characters.
I feel you. Especially with balancing work and with wanting to play. I will say, try and remember with free online tournaments that worst that can happen is... you lose. And that's it! If you were going to play ranked or something later anyway, then it's the same! Unless it's being run terribly and you're waiting forever for your match.
20 more at best at the current rate, and I see that as more of a maybe right about now given the pace and them prioritizing BH/WT content.
Crazy that it'd take 7 years of 4-character passes to barely pass SFV with 1 more character
If I want to get through the "five avatar battles" weekly challenge thingy as quickly as possible, would it be a smart move on my part to restart world tour from the beginning so that I'm level 1 and I can play against people with avatars that are level 65 who can body me in a few seconds?
Yeah, maybe? I like the Avatar stuff in this game but there really should be an option at least for avatar battles with normalized health and damage.
Hey all
i'm still very new to sf, ps5 reckons i've played 13hrs, mostly fighting ground, a few hours across the other modes (some of that is idle time tho so yeah very new). i got ranked at Iron 2 and with incredible efficiency dropped myself all the way to the bottom 😎
i'm on modern controls, coming from mortal kombat. they seem good, although sometimes it feels odd not having to do any real button combos (i know you can/have to with the Assist button for some moves); i've almost felt like i'd appreciate if there were something in between, even though this is literally already the hybrid/in between mode. someone suggested that Classic might feel more natural to me, but idk yet. i suspect the answer is just to keep playing/figure it out.
the game is a lot of fun, but definitely overwhelming lol
the menus! different kinds of points! currencies! not being able to just add my psn friends! drive everything!
despite my aversion to feet (no offence anyone) i've been mostly playing Juri. literally facing my foot demons here, having to see the character screen. i figured i'd play a tricky zoner type (i wanna learn JP) but it's been surprisingly fun kicking the shit out of ppl w juri.
a few questions if i may.
1. the battle/rewards pass thing: it's pretty much the fortnite thing, but for avatar drip right? idk if i'm gonna get it
2. are kudos just for earning new titles?
3. i've found myself going back through the tutorials w/ryu etc cuz no way am i retaining all that stuff after one or even two goes. World Tour seems fun enough: will it also tutorialize me, a bit slower, more organically in a way? lead up to all the Drive and Super Art stuff so i can do it a bunch & internalize it more?
4. according to the commentators i frequently do Raw Supers, a bold strategy. but like when i do them at The Right Time, i'm never hitting Triangle+Square. they seem to come out when i'm kicking ass and hit... X, somewhere in there? so idk how specifically to trigger a non-raw super.
5. the Drive stuff. basically the part i get is using it to paint over someone's move and throw em, which is nice. as for predicting that, idk, is it straight prediction or is there a tell? this game is fast. sometimes i'll impact someone's impact and they'll i guess parry that? also outside the tutorial i've never done Drive Rush stuff.
6. is the bootcamp site (besides looking up stats), rewards or points wise, just for that tamagotchi minigame thing?
7. finally, should i join some kinda discord? does this place have one? like, hey, come and kick my ass! or like, does anyone suck as much as me and wanna play? etc etc.
thanks & i know a bunch of those questions were almost entirely statements

Welcome! I'm a returning player with SF6 and yeah, it is overwhelming. These games are a lot like rain: The torrential downpour of info is largely runoff and gone, with some being absorbed. But more and more is absorbed over time. There's no substitute for reps, and it all comes eventually!
The good thing about Modern is you can still do (most) combos and specials like they do in Classic. Whoever your fighter is, I can guarantee a skilled content creator has a Youtube about Modern combos that extend far past the assist button.
These are pretty common complaints with everyone, no worries. The menus feel especially awfully laid out to a lot of people.
As someone with a LOT of time with Juri, yeah she's a ton of fun to use. She's also pretty gimped in Modern (not enough it's really a problem, there are Diamond and Master Juri players aplenty), so if/when you decide to make the hop to classic, you might again be overwhelmed. It's worth it, though!
1. The battlepass thing is purely for Battle Hub shenanigans and World Tour avatar drip, correct.
2. That's all I know they're good for
3. World Tour will absolutely drip-feed game mechanics to you in an organic way, they did a great job with it.
4. "Raw Super" just means a Super outside of a combo. They say things like "It's a bold move" because a raw super that gets whiffed can leave you open for huge damage... and if you're in Platinum or higher, chances are your opponent will put a lot of hurt on you. That being said, it's not always the case: You can full screen punish fireballs with Cammy's Level 3 if you're quick enough, for instance.
5. Drive Impact is slow enough that you can react to it. The real story is people use "safe on block" cancelable moves when poking, and if your opponent throws out a Drive Impact, it gets briefly paused when/if you hit it. This gives people way more time to block or counter. That being said, if you continue to use Drive Impacts in really predictable ways, people will start recognizing the pattern very quickly, and throw out their own.
6. Pretty much yeah. There's also a content calendar thing, but for the most part it's tomogachi and stats.
7. I dunno if we have an active discord, tbh.
Urien for season 2 capcom pls

Just imagine all the bullshit you could pull off with the drive system.

Only if aegis is his level 1, so you can put out multiple lol.
Also, watching this made me miss character specific combos, since it's not really a thing in SF anymore.
We do have a Street Fighter discord although I wouldn't necessary call it active, people mainly talk about the game there

Thank you so much for both reading my monstrous amount of questions and giving such a thoughtful, thorough response. Super helpful!
Think I'll hop back into World Tour, then; I think my most recent task was to get a part time job, which struck me as a bit Yakuza (a series I adore). Always down for a part time job in a game about punching people lol

I do recall googling around as to which characters were more/less gimped w/modern and I do remember Juri being on the list. Maybe JP too?

I was just about to post this. Only he can make drive reversals look cool..
Time to reinstall, been almost a month since I had to take a break - but now I will jump back into things whilst attempting to keep the emotions in check.
I think this method works precisely because SF6 got a lot of shit right tbh. Being as strongly systems driven as it is, having such compressed tiers, and a feature packed game with quality netcode and mostly good matchmaking and a good ranking system (when you get to master).
Let the meta evolve sounds rad, until it's like vanilla strive or some shit. Capcom just hella cooked tho, so that gamble paid off.
Tekken deserves the roasting for not being upfront about it, and because Namco already did shit like charging for frame data info in training mode n shit the previous game, as well as the balancing of the previous game.
Matchmaking is worse in Tekken 8 right now, the game while itself a banger, is also a bit frustrating in terms of how oppressive it can be.
SF6 also catches heat for the costume pricing and using fake ass space bucks (still called fight money, but a system worse than 5), but since it's upfront about everything else, most cats took it as just oh it's doing what every other game does.
There are also legacy expectations for Tekkens customization.
Both should catch heat tho, those goofy ass avatars and all their cosmetics and battle pass stuff I'm sure takes a lot of time n effort, but I'd rather be getting new costumes for the cast. Or more specifically mine. And while we are at it why can't I do like basic costume changes like a jacket less Cammy/ken, no cape JP shit like that. Sfv had stuff like that for some characters apparently.
It also worked with SFV tho, which everybody called the opposite of a systems driven game, was not feature packed for many years, had low quality netcode, and a ranking system most high level players found pointless.
It was one of the better balanced fighting games for the entirety of its run tho.
Being patient with balance patches is just the way to go, period.

Also since Evo Japan is already next week, Il probably make the OT later today.

Lord help me, I think I'm about to start seriously playing Dee Jay. Might have to buy that costume 3 as well.
Come over to the Kimberly side! We have the best tasting crayons bar none!!
You could do worse. He's one of those characters I feel has no obvious weaknesses.
Then again, we're still not sure what the approach to changing stuff up is going to be for this SF6 team. DJ might get his knees broken going into season 2.

My guess is def trailer this week and playable at evo japan next week.
Dee Jay's only real weakness is no low-hitting cancable normal. His long range normals aren't cancelable either so he's technically vulnerable to DI when poking at a particular distance, but I think he fares better in this regard than, say, Guile.
Frankly, other than maybe slowing down his DR a tad and toning down his damage (though the latter is for a lot of characters generally), I think Dee Jay should remain exactly as is.
Doubtful that he'll be playable at Evo JPN, since Capcom already said the Gamagouki thing was where players would get early access to Akuma from May 1st - May 6th. If he was going to be playable at Evo JPN first I doubt they'd have bothered.

Yeah the dude is incredibly fun to play. I'm playing way too basic with him though.
What's funny is that Kimberly is my highest winrate character, but I dislike her super 1 so much that it actively deters me from playing her.
How the team approaches balancing is what I'm wondering about the most. I just hope they do a good job and keep the game enjoyable.
if you dislike her super 1, i got some bad news about Dee Jay :(
That 12 frame start-up is rough..after it losing to meaty jab a couple times I almost completely stopped using it on wake up..
