Wake up and yolo DIs are easily blown up by just doing your own DI. They are easily reactable and can be canceled from normals like a special move.

You can just spam crouching light punches and eat through the DI as well.

SF6 is extremely aggressive, you just have no idea how to structure your offense.

Oh look, the exact same complaint that has been going around for how many games now?

SF3: The game is too defensive, the parry ruins aggression.

SF4: The game is too defensive, the focus attack ruins aggression.

SF5: The game is too defensive, everything's so safe and ruins aggression.

Every game, every release, just ♥♥♥♥♥-ing and ♥♥♥♥♥-ing and ♥♥♥♥♥-ing.

the fact that blocking depletes your drives gauge and that hitting drive rush armor with attacks, gives you more frames to react, I think quite the opposite is the case. This game is hella aggressive.

Oh no, fighting game's have some of the whiniest playerbases out there.

Mostly because fighting games have "The Scrub" (See DSP)

You know, the guy who gets his ass handed to him, but has ten million reasons why that loss is illegitimate.

But the best part is when they absolutely HATE one game, only to turn around and love it a few games later.

Like, I've been around long enough to remember when the cry of how SF3 "destroyed" Street fighter. The roster was horrible, just filled with "freaks", the gameplay was somehow braindead as the parry "destroyed" the "Fundamentals" (I can't tell you the number of people I've met who whine about "Footsies"...and then can't really tell you what that actually is).

Now? Now Third strike is a friggin sacred cow.

Now that they have something else to ♥♥♥♥♥ about.

[Ratch]

I stg you guys will have page long, 3 day debates over nothing... with people who agree. Just call OP a dumbass and move on. Not every comment is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ soapbox.

[Smufius]

Blocking attacks eats up your drive bar. You can't turtle forever. I feel the game now has a great balance between offense and defense which also varies nicely between matchups.

[Sixtyfivekills]

I have to say, there's way more players who tend to back off and just wait compared to SF4/5.


Sure I can be an a boring husk of nothingness and do that to make them approach me, but how is that fun? I swear some people will even wait for a timeout even though I'm at health advantage, like what's the deal here?

I mean im not good at this game, so in lower ranks its pretty obvious people abuse DI, im pretty sure it doesnt bother people in higher ranks because they can react accordingly.
I just feel like for players who are not in high ranks DI makes the game too punishing once you get aggressive

A lot of things can be abused at lower ranks to make things unbearable for an opponent who doesn't know how to counter something. One of the many steps of climbing up from lower ranks to higher ranks is looking up how to deal with those big issues that bother you instead of complaining about them on forums.

just wrong, this is one of the most offensive games i've ever played. so wrong in fact, that even defense turns into strong offense seamlessly
