I Got Lily to Platinum and let me tell you...

[Holografix]

i have seen some straight NONSENSE in Gold league ranked:

- Ryus mashing jumping medium cross-ups
- Juris straight up using only 4 moves: Cartwheel rising, Cartwheel swooping from jump, Drive Rush to grab, and Drive Impact
- Legions of Kens mashing wakeup OD Dragon Punch, or mashing Drive Rush into crouching medium kick
- JPs literally SPAMMING psycho power stalagmites from the other end of the screen to setup their psycho ghost grab
- Cammys only want 1 thing: 4 hit combos into Drive Rush Heavy Punch Meaty x infinity until they go into burnout

what do you observe for Honda players XDD

I only played against (or remembered) some Honda players. They usually go:
- Sumo headbutt for offense AND for defense. Jump at Honda? Sumo headbutt. Condor Dive at Honda? Sumo Headbutt. Then most have that slap-hand combo into Drive Rush pushback 3 times into some Super Art move. After the 1st round, I learned their tactics and switched mine up to where they didn't know their Sumo Slam from their 100 Slap Hands.

As a fellow Lily enjoyer, my condolences. It is an uphill battle that is not worth it.

I have a question, I was playing arcade and hit CPU 6 lily, and every time I dashed at her to do my light combo (as Juri), she ALWAYS hit the throw on me. like, this is post being knocked down. she'd be in the middle of standing up when I rush over, and I start my combo and *BAM* next thing I know she's swinging me around by her clubs (AND IT FREAKING HURTS!)

Does she always seem to win these throw things when awakening? Is this a general thing? because I don't have problems rushing into most characters, but with her? I got tossed around every time I would DR in while she was standing up

Everything Below Platinum is a wild west ladder wise and even platinum there will be some ridiculous players.

You can at time see gold players who do understand some fundamentals, but those won't be in gold for too long.

Ah, think I got it. I coincidentally had someone on youtube answer a similar question, and apparently Juri is like a paper tiger, she can't really take disruptions and she has basically no armor to speak of. So she kinda loses out a lot...

Basically just back to training and learn to use more cancel moves instead of rushing in, Juri will lose those head on collisions almost every time it seems. Learning more every day

Lily has "mexican typhoon" which is a command grab. A command grab cannot be blocked, and if done well on wake-up, can override a normal jab.

She also has her Super Art Level 3 which is another command grab which, when done well on wake-up, will override most every move.

I'm also platinum with 3 characters, when does the game get good? Worst game of the year so far, worst fighting game I've ever played. Any tips for me? Maybe uninstall?

You'll face lead paint eating rage quitting players in platinum who get super salty about being AA'ed 5 times in a row. The ranking system is really horrific. Drive impact. drive rush and maximum unga bunga random stupid ♥♥♥♥ trash characters (who might have armor on everything like Marisa) really just turned SF6 into an incredibly dumbed down game. Where's the neutral? It's gone forever. Capcom killed it.

Any idiot can get to Diamond with Honda for example. Why? He's designed this way. You thought you could perfect parry buttslam? You're wrong. Light, medium, heavy and OS kick all change the timings of that move and he's +1 on block afterwards. You need meter to punish that mongoloid and it isn't even worth it to punish it thanks to the scaling on parry. The same applies to headbutt.

Blanka and Honda have no risk associated with playing stupid as hell. What're you gonna do? DP them for marginal damage? MenaRD mostly played like an idiot at CEO and it worked. Why did it work? Because that's the nature of SF6 now. Dumba$$ fighter 6.

Extremely risky and crazy stupid button mashing nonsense works now. We all know it. Scrub strats are now 100% legit. You think the game is stupid now? Rashid is coming. Just wait. I'm gonna probably play Rashid because I don't want to deal with any of that ridiculous BS.
