I've never experienced this before... any of you guys that play ranked, does it usually not count loses or wins like at all? For me it used to be "Results failed to send" message but they would update eventually almost always the next game.

Now it's like I lost my 15 streak to a Platinum Balrog, the error message pops up. We run it back and I beat him the next 2 games the streak number reset, and I wait for my next ranked match. . The next match rolls around and I'm 15 streak again? And I didn't even lose points? lul

I mean I don't even lose a lot in the first place so I don't know if this is common but has this always been a thing? Or did the matchmaking gods pity me for fighting scrubs all day idk

Had it happen literally once. Didn't lose a streak on loss.

Failed to Send is one thing. Since the update I'm getting the "Failed to Update Match Results" or something, and those matches NEVER happened.

It's all so very confusing.

I think akuma has a very strong set of tools. He's also got the most clearly defined/easiest to exploit weakness of any member of the cast. He's the kind of character where when things go his way he looks broken and when they don't he folds in half like paper. It's why I think he's good, but he's never safe in a match, it's like every match is against season 1 Mika because if you screw up big vs pretty much any character you can die in one touch and a mixup. I like him a lot, and I think he's well balanced, but I think by design he's a character that you can't ever get comfortable in a match with.

I feel like this is as good an explanation of Akuma as I have seen. I wrote a damn novella trying to explain it, and Rushdown got it in a paragraph, lol. But yeah, I can 90% someone and be essentially full health and I'm still terrified because one mistake and I'm set up to potentially lose.

Akuma does/will have bad MUs, but with his tool set it feels like he has answers to *most* of the stuff in the game, keeping the MUs in check.. They may still be bad, but I would *THINK* we are talking on the order of 5.5's, not 6's or worse. One of Akuma's other strengths is that he can be played in a lot of different ways, and those ways are all effective.

Infiltration is working on Ibuki and confirms that Juri still isn't complete.

See me in season 3

Infiltration says juri is ok.

Myles filter activated.

"Juri is a flaming piece shit combofiend left on street fighters doorstep" -infiltration.

Myles, if your clowney ass can play the character and not immediately have the character burst into flames the character is complete. It's a miracle that someone as negative as you can even attempt to play a fighting game.

I'm actually very optimistic about Juri this season. I haven't come to a conclusion on how good she is yet but her design is still clearly flawed in this game

Play Ibuki, she's good this season. Play Juri, she's not bad by any stretch. Play Urien, he's top 2-3. Play with yourself.

Dunno man. He says Juri is OK.. and Ibuki looks to be able to do things this season. Not to mention that the relative tier gaps between the good the slightly less good and the 'meh' so even if you're playing a 'meh' character you can still do serious work.. let's be honest, none of us are approaching the point that tier lists dictate our wins and losses.

Flawed how? In what way? Which of her tools are completely unusable and causing her to be labeled an incomplete character?

Giving up offense or space to store is flawed.

The game is made for as little neutral to be played as possible. Characters touch you and do their full BnB then air reset into whatever else you have to take because you got hit, they don't hit you and let you get back up because they need to store their next combo

Ibuki, the very character infil is choosing to play over juri actually needs to store her kunai for her max dmg combos and setups.

Also you didn't say flawed(it's a weakness sure but they've all got weaknesses) you said broken/incomplete. There's a fucking wide gulf between a character having weaknesses/flaws and being incomplete/unplayable.

Kunai is not comparable to fireball stores. Ibuki starts the round with Kunai and if she's run out she's probably won

I wouldn't describe making sacrifices to do less than characters that don't have to as a weakness and she is incomplete.
