I feel ya, sir. A lesson to be learned here. Don't wear any political attire to a gaming competition. I'm done with the subject. So about trying a new character. Anybody play Sophitia?
I've played against Sophitia a lot. She and Ivy probably give me more trouble than any other character, though typically the players who choose her seem to be more skilled, for some reason.

Thread cleaned.

Not gonna lie, recently learned how to ukemi. Tbh, there should be a stand alone tutorial mode in this game for newcomers like myself. Not a text tutorial, an actual tutorial (text tutorial is fine IF you have an actual visual interactive one as well). And no not whatever is in libra of souls, an actual tutorial game mode. Most fighters have this, it helps A LOT.

I would also like a combo trial mode, which is also in a lot of fighters. Again, it helps a lot, but not nearly as much of a necessity as a tutorial mode.

Anyway, still loving Groh. Haven’t gotten nearly as much time with the game as I would like, but my progress is coming a long slowly but surely. It’s hard learning without the aforementioned things, but also having to learn (outside of training mode) through ranked is also slowing progress down. Most people one and done you (win or lose) and since the casual/player match mode is abysmal, it’s irritating af for someone new to the franchise (competitively or otherwise).

I have no problems with the gameplay itself, I love everything. They just handled everything else pretty poorly, imo.

Phew, got cleaned out by a Seong Mina (spelling?) player. How the fuck do you deal with her guard break frame traps? You can’t reversal edge, you can’t side step, you can’t impact guard, and you can’t poke out (that I was able to figure out with Azwel). What are you supposed to do?

Isn’t it a mid that can be ducked? I have no idea but thought it was.

Not that I was able to do. She had several, and I'm pretty sure I could have poked out of one of them, but with the mixup they were doing it was tough to predict and a bad poke meant huge damage. Even when I did manage to poke, it didn't accomplish anything. I was still stuck in the grinder with seemingly no options.

Here you go gents, PC Frame data app is here:

https://github.com/rougelite/SCUFFLE/releases

All basic info is pretty much correct, do note that stances and knd/cancels do not display proper values.
Same as it was with Tekken 7. Enjoy.

And before anybody whine it doesn't work or something like that --> It works ONLY in windowed or borderless windowed mode NOT fullscreen.
Holy shit, this thing is awesome! Great job! I assume "imp" is startup?

Not sure if this will help...


She's seems really strong, like "getting nerfed the first patch" strong. I'm still in the process of learning her so my advice is garbage. Also check out Party Wolf if you haven't already. That dude has the best Kilik and Mi-Na that I've seen.

Wow, he wasn't even abusing that move. I streamed the matches and will upload shortly, as embarrassing a set as it was...

Thanks to @Immortal 's awesome app, I can see that my fastest poke without having my stance speed-up active is 18 frames (with stance, my 2A is 10 and standing A is 14). So yeah, when these hyper aggressive characters get in and won't stop mashing, wtf is Azwel supposed to do other than Reversal Edge or Guard Impact, both of which will get decimated by characters like Mi-Na, Gr0h, Maxi, and others that have a lot of breakers built into their move sets?

Even if I do poke out with 2A, it only leaves me +2, so any fast option that avoids highs will put them right back in my face with no repercussions.
