Drive rush has really gotten rather tiresome

[bulldog0890]

it kind of makes half the cast feel too samey despite how different everyone is. it makes their game plan "drive rush into mix up". and even when you have a read on it, its really hard to react correctly to and makes the game such a reflex test. and thats before drive impact, which is easy to deal with by comparison

Zangief's Drive Rush barely does anything :(

See, this I kinda agree with. If nothing else I kinda wish that raw DR costed a bit more.

Yeah. Nobody save for the pRoS were using it until last week. Suddenly, now that Capcom wants to change it, everyone and their grandma uses it all the time.

Takes the rest of the playerbase time to remember tools exist. Nobody was using it because they were still getting caught out by Drive Impact.

Nobody was using DR until last week? Where have you been, man? People across all ranks have been abusing rush almost as much as DI since the first week.

yeah, the change doesn't effect this. its just raw thats annoying. honestly, part me wishes they'd just make drive rush 3 bar across the board, raw or otherwise

drive rush is a finger commitment. ht them with the old Drive Impact when they use it.

what? they can absolutely counter that with di themselves. some people do dr directly into di to catch buttons

Exactly what I've said since after playing my first dozen games online... Even watching pros play before I touched online component of the game, SF6 screamed "Drive Rush Fighter 6-Times-Per-Round Edition".

As I've stated, if characters like Man: On and 'Gief are best played / most effectively used as if they are Cammys or Kens -- which is exactly how top players play them (see: dom / SnakEyes) -- it tells you that the universal mechanic/s of the game has/have trampled over the characters' respective, and what are meant to be their unique gameplay archetypes.

When, from halfway across the screen, a Juri can DR into an auto-combo, get two of her attacks snuffed by a DI done on reaction, only for them to then press HP+HK and beat (counter) the DI that [initially] beat said DR combo*, the former mechanic is unequivocally, unarguably, indubitably broken... Lo and behold, the very reason you're seeing it [ab]use online so much! 👌😂

*I've had this occur to me, multiple times, with varying characters, and have seen it happen time and again in streams... The "DPS salt" compilation videos, for example, has him squealing about this constantly.

It's a super great mechanic and each character has way to counter DR with normals. What rank are you people complaining about DR and DI? These common mechanics for all the cast make this game super well balanced. I'm playing with 4 characters, all ranked in platinium 4-5, I know a little what I'm talking about.

Or, you could have actually read the thread and realized this isn't a balance discussion.

Every character playing the exact same way is a bad thing, not a good thing.

Also, "I'm plat, I know what I'm talking about" is lmao.
