It really is. It took me way longer to make the adjustments to get out of Platinum than to get out of Diamond.
I've heard that. I think I'm stabilizing finally. My biggest improvement came simply by giving myself "tilt breaks." Meaning, if I lose two sets in a row, I just log off and do something else. If I don't do that, I revert to flow chart mode and it's ugly. ๐คฃ๐
It's also incredibly helpful in the long run to train yourself to get hype over little wins that have nothing to do with whether the results screen says you won or lost.
Example: I still suck ass at anti-airs, but rather than get upset that people can jump in on me all the time, I'll pop off for myself if I even correctly react (meaning I recognized the jump was coming and I started to reach for the button), let alone if I actually successfully anti-air them.
Same with any time I learn a new combo or new interaction like jabbing Cammy out of her heavy target combo. Even remembering that I CAN jab is a win. Then actually jabbing her out was another win, and then when I realized I could jab into light hit grab that was another, then actually executing that was ANOTHER win.
Thanks. I'll keep that all in mind. I know what you mean. All along the way I've had little wins even while losing (especially when it comes adding drive rush to my game and reacting to drive impacts). I'm two wins from Platinum 4 after being stuck in 2/3 for awhile.
On this note, if you're not doing it already as your primary combo, do her intermediate 6 combo trial, but with 5MP starter instead of 5MK. Then you can buffer drive rushes behind your pokes and confirm into it for free medals. Or if they block you still get to DR in and command grab the shit out of them.
I'm playing Ken but my friend who I'm trying to get into SF6 is playing Manon. I'll pass this info on.
I finally cracked platinum 4 last night ๐ช๐ผ
Ayy nice.
