Street Fighter

Absolutely incredible match between Snake Eyez (Zangief) and Reynald (JP). If you enjoy competitive SF at all, you've got to watch this match.

How it all started.

Watching the moves play out was fun for the first month but it starts to get old after a while. There needs to be an option to skip part of the animation or play it at 2x speed in matches.

This was way harder than getting to Celestial with Potemkin the first time.

So, the TMNT content came out of nowhere and was a nice surprise. But along with the Onitsuka Tiger thing, it's clear that Capcom is going to do a lot of sponsorships and product placement along these lines going forward.

As for myself, I generally don't care much about cosmetic items. I might spend a few bucks here or there if I think something is really cool, but I'm generally not going to engage in purchasing that type of content. It's still fun to walk around the battle hub and see other people using it though.

However, the prices on this content absolutely floored me. I figure a reasonable price for the entire bundle of content would be about $10 maybe. But just a single skin costs closer to $20 (and you can't straight up buy them, you have to purchase the coins which are only available in certain denominations, so you are left with leftover coins). These skins are almost replicas of each other, they just have different weapons and mask colors! But each one has to be bought separately? And if you want to buy just the mask, each color has to be bought separately?? What happened to the dyes that you can find in game?

I get that it's just cosmetic content, so no one NEEDS it. But it just seems like a dumbass move for them to try charging so much. What are your thoughts? Anyone purchased it?

The GF sets were incredible

I was not aware of this player before now, but I think it's really awesome that Street Fighter has such good audio and accessibility features to allow all types of people to enjoy the game.

I was going to pick up a fight stick for playing SF6 on PS5 and was thinking about grabbing the HORI Alpha. Looks pretty easy to swap out the buttons for Sanwa if needed. Any of you using fight sticks?

I know Rashid only came out yesterday but what are your thoughts on him in sf6? Personally I’ve been enjoying labbing him so far and definitely want to play him in addition to my Juri. All the mobility is just so fun to use and I’m sure there’s gonna be a lot of tech found out pretty soon

Man, what a feeling. I'm so excited and just wanted to share.

The last time I had local FGC tournament experience was SF4 a decade ago. Time has gone and so I decided to try my first local tournament at the local FGC.

One thing I forgot was just how nerves impact your play such an incredible amount. And having not played in a tournament or even at the local group, I was definitely shaking at each match.

My last double-elimination match, I had a lot of mistakes on combos that I know I am consistent on in ranked matches. I sensed my opponent was in the same situation and dropping his combos too. On Game 3 Round 3, both in CA stage, he dropped a combo that would have finished me and I then dropped the punish combo that would have finished him. He deserved that win.

I still had a great time. If you haven't looked up your local FGC yet, they're starting to come back up again after the pandemic and I would encourage you check them out. The only thing that will calm tournament nerves is more local practice.

I’ve done my placements and a decent amount of games and some training mode and I’m currently ranked low-mid silver on my Juri. Any tips to improve?

I just got my Eternal Rival S Rank enclosure and I’m really pleased with it. Now just to hit the training room.

Some controversial picks in here! Juri not top tier, Dee Jay down in B tier. What do people think?

Which character do you think has the highest potential for optimisation?

Congrats!

I can't wait.
