Bad diamond players

[Gleap]

I swear I struggle way more with the bad diamond players than the good ones.

The Ryus who cant stop jumping in place no matter how many times you anti air them.

The modern cammys who don't know they have normal buttons and just hold that special button down while inputing random directions.

The JP's who believe command grab is the only input they will ever need.

Kens who haven't discovered neutral yet but sure know how to jinrai mix in the corner.

If someone actually knows how to play the game and plays some neutral with me I know how to deal with that, but these psychotic fits are just incomprehensible and super hard to adapt to because of it.

I just fought a Luke who was just licking every button continuously, Neither he nor I had any idea what was going to come out next his inputs were between his tongue and god. It was miserable.

You almost never see them past diamond 3 because the strategies are so intensely flawed while they can lift a game or two off the easily confused like myself they are unsustainable long term.

The more simplistic the game's gameplay, the more difficult the lower level players are to fight. This is because there isn't the skill ceiling that would normally be hit by lesser players; for the simple BnB's / spams still work as well at any level of play. Moreover, with a game that has so much luck based gameplay as SF^ does, it reconciles perfectly that you get higher "ranked" players being easier to fight that those below... I've experienced this myself, and you can witness it from any number of online streamers. This phenomenon may also be compounded by the likelihood that "serious" player have not interest in grinding the game for "rank", and just player for the fight -- i.e., you'll meet them at lower ranks, as distinct from the grinding scrubs who've wasted countless hours gaming the ranking system.

This was the core intention of Capcom with SF6 -- to level the playing field by bridging the skill gap -- and they have succeeded admirably as such.

Oh, you're back again. Great. I love using the internet.

I wish I had the time of day to be so angry about people still having fun with a video game I don't like. (I'd probably use it differently though)

Yet you are too afraid to fight him.

Nah I'd fight peddie if he wants.

He knows what the word mayhaps means so he's at least got that going for him.

Can I have a match at least?


No real reason or motive behind it, just wanna go a few rounds outside the hub.

Sure I'm a little bit out from jumping online I'll be on in probably 40 minutes I'd guess? Gotta go buy sushi. Drop me an friend request or something. I'm gleap on cfn and I play on playstation.

Hopefully we are close enough to have a good ping. If you're especially good I'll try and remember how to play my main Marisa, otherwise I'm trying to suck less with Luke right now so I'll run him.

Wait I lied we don't need sushi. My wives going to do her nails I'll be online in 10ish

It was a good set. My Luke is obviously not strong enough to fight you.

Marisa I haven't played in over a month so I forgot some stuff but she's also such a chimp character you can kinda Smashy Smashy. God I love her.

I need to lab against Manon more, I don't understand when I can push stuff and when I'm screwing myself by mashing.

I also really really missed Luke's crouching heavy punch after I made the character change lol. Marisa's anti air game is just not there, I need to either air to air or time light galdius but It wasn't coming to mind.

Anyway my hands are crippled from arthritis now going to take a break then play some more once they calm down. I appreciate the set!

You've only one pair of hands, take care of them~

Yeah and they suck!

But I appreciate that, I'm slinging both types of arthritis rheumatoid and normal. I'm also distinctly some kind of monkey so my inputs are something that holds me back a lot.

Anyway I'm trying to get better at them. I should probably cave and swap to hitbox some day.

Sounds like you could really benefit from using Modern controls.

I sincerely wouldn't disagree with that sentiment, especially if you don't have €180 or more on hand for a leverless controller (funnily enough I got mine from an Italian company) it would be a good way of saving your hands until you can get that sorted.

Probably but quadriga isn't available on modern Marisa and I don't want to give it up she feels defective without it lol.

I kind of like classic as well since I've been using it for years.

I'm considering using it for some of my climbs pretty heavily though so we will see how it feels there.
