I swear, I don’t understand how some people go on 14+ win streaks in C ranks. This guy just spammed GI or RE every time I knocked him down. One round I legitimately just did Tira’s slow ass Jolly stance A+B everytime I knocked him down and he got lethal hit by it everytime.

He also tried using Geralt’s A+B every single time he got a GI, no matter what level of GI it was, even when I hit him with Gloomy Tira’s 44A LH that does 100(ish) damage for avoiding a guard crush. How do these people win? I don’t understand.

They just play the game everyday and collect points. Not everybody in higher levels are actually high level play. Hell, my day 1 Nightmare beat a D rank on stream. People just suck lol

I just assume when people in high ranks have large amounts of wins in a row they’re at least okay

Yes & no. U gotta also take into the account that pairing opponents are hella random as fuck even after the update that didnt do much change to pair by skill level. U literally never know what kinda skilled player u face until u actually play them, regardless of rank. Happens quite frequently.

Well that just happened.

As soon as he was alive with one pixel I knew he was going to ring you out, that’s how these things work you know. I didn’t even know Azwel could combo into his soul charge super so, the more you know I guess.

Have you guys ever had an ah-ha moment on how to do better against a character you normally struggle with? I just had one recently for Yoshimitsu when I’m playing Tira.

I didn’t realize how much Yoshi kind of has to work in against Tira, her back step speed is pretty good and I can diagonally walk back and he’ll whiff a ton of moves, including bA which is made for catching backstep.

It's the most damaging combo I know of in the game, that said you hit once every 100 matches, but it's always super hype!

Yeah, that’s some massive damage, the only comparison I can think of are Sophie and Kilik’s soul charged wall combos. Kilik’s soul charged wall combos do like 157-176 depending on what you hit them with first.

Makes sense, Kilik is overpowered after all.

I’ve also started playing Raphael more heavily again, and I realized you can B+K evade RE attempts you wouldn’t normally be able to sidestep, Nightmare is the only character with an RE so fast there’s basically nothing I can hit his RE with and then evade after though. It completely destroys Astaroth’s RE because his is so slow, he basically can’t RE Raphael.

@SaSSolino You know, after watching more and more PC SC6, I’ve gotta say I’m jealous. I only have it on PS4 because my friends have it on PS4 but it absolutely looks like it runs more smoothly and has a better net code on PC.

Considering our history with ports I quite surprised, but hey I'll take it! The company is all that matters though.

I wanted to create Shang, but I'm not good at that kind of stuff.
It takes a lot especially if you're a perfectionist like me cuz you don't want your character to look like shit. Thats my majoy pet peeve going up against CaS in ranked matches when they're ugly/basic as fuck. Find a character that would be easy to make that you really like and start from there :)

I can tolerate CaS in ranked as long as the hitbox isn’t different, pls no tiny Astaroth that falls out of half my combos and does more damage per command throw. That was the stupid part of CaS in this game.

OH i hate those too! I just hope there will be alternatives to this issue, like having a Quick Match in Casual like 99% of FGs have, like having the option to not play against CaS in ranked. Just simple things, but the way Bamco is moving, i have a feeling we will not get it or anytime soon.

Yeah, I have a couple of CaS that I like to use for messing around in casuals but I just have costumes for Raphael, Tira, and Xianghua when I play ranked, if they could keep people from changing their character hitboxes or making their costume a gigantic rainbow cube that takes up half the arena, CaS in ranked wouldn’t annoy me at all.

I think the only tiny CaS I didn’t mind was a Geralt one because it completely takes away the need for me to approach him, which Jolly stance Tira normally really struggles at.
