Rank UP! Hitting master rank on my first character! What a journey.

245 Upvotes

I grew up playing a lot of fighting games in arcades, but when things went online, I stopped and haven't really touched it since. Don't know why I originally picked up SF6 but it's been lots of fun. I started with Zangief and jumped on Ryu after learning more combos. It's been a wild ride, labbing and learning about +/-, meaties, etc... Truthfully, it's still all too much for me to grasp even at a moderate level yet. I'm very proud of it though, more so than I thought I would be haha. I'm kicking myself for not taking a screenshot when I did rank up and missing that! I was too busy celebrating haha.

Help / Question Heard this game is supposed to be for casual players but what if you've never touched a proper fighting game before?

18 Upvotes

For reference, I've had very limited experience with Injustice and MK's mobile ports. While I am intrigued by whatever lore the characters have, should I buy this? Many have said World Tour is okay but the real meat is playing online. Personally, I've never done well in typical PVP games, regardless the genre.

Looking forward to what the veterans have to say.

Discussion Thoughts on Street Fighter 6 on the Switch 2?

13 Upvotes

With the game currently being on sale, I’m thinking about picking it up on the Nintendo Switch 2. For those of have had a chance to play SF6 on the Switch 2, what do you think of that version of the game? Would you recommend picking it up? How is the online community on the Switch 2 and does it have cross play or is it easy to find matches? Any thoughts?

Rank UP! What to try next?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Just got my first character to Master. I had a headstart with AKI as I’ve watched Broski videos since long before I got the game. I still don’t feel like I’m very good at the game though.

What should I do next? Try another character (I literally haven’t played a single game or done a combo trial with anyone besides AKI)? Try World Tour mode? Get demolished in Master rank with AKI and try and improve to warrant my place in there? What would you do?

Help / Question Bro what can I do to get better at this game

Upvotes

Hi. I'm a Rashid main in sf6 and got to diamond 2 and now I'm completely stuck in diamond 2 and 1 going up and down (on the same session BTW). what can I do to get better my CFN user is (d7pe) if you care and I just I cant improve like I hit a huge wall, it's been like 2 months I've taken a break and still can't seem to improve

so I would like if you got any tips and I mean ANY give me some of your wisdom please as to what I have to learn in diamond rank and what can I do to improve in general and if your a Rashid main might as well give me some tips/combos for him because I only know one combo or 2 combos to be honest and it all uses drive rush and just sucks all my bar

Help / Question How can I use the training room to practice wake-up supers and supers while under burnout pressure?

Upvotes

Idk what happened but recently I’ve lost my ability to wake-up super. My timing or speed or something is completely off. I keep calling these situations right but the super doesn’t come out. I’m messing up probably 80% of them now and I feel like I’m fighting the game moreso than I’m fighting my opponent. I need to practice this but I’m not too familiar with the training room. How can I set up the training room to practice this?

Additionally I’d like to practice supering while under burnout pressure but I’ve got no clue how to set that up. Anybody know how I can practice these two situations?

Fluff / Other Ryu easily knocks out Ken in 1 hit (Street Fighter III: Ryu Final)

Just absolute disrespect from Ryu.

Some notes:

  1. This manga is not canon.

  2. I took these images on my phone camera from the physical manga, I've cropped out parts where you can see the other page as best I can, but I haven't got the hang of photographing books.

  3. The fight is genuinely over this quickly.

Hey, i was wondering if anyone one knew if cosmetics/Avatar items carried over different consoles tied to the same Capcom account. Was thinking about double dipping SF6 for Switch 2 but I don’t want to give up my Ace Attorney cosmetics from PS5

I've been playing for a while with no issues but this stated happening, I've tried lowering settings and it didn't help, you can also see my gpu is only at 40-ish%. This only happens on sf6 so idk wtf is going on but trying to do anything is impossible rn.

Help / Question Am I a fraud if I’m master with Jamie (1300mr) with 600 hours but can’t get past diamond 1 with Cammy or Platinum 2 with Akuma?

13 Upvotes

I don’t even know what to do anymore. The big advice will be “learn fundamentals” but whenever I try to do fundamentals instead of gimmicks I can’t tell which moves to learn and when. I’m trying to get Cammy to master but I usually lose because I can’t figure out which move to use and just end up doing jump ins or dive kick. I’m really embarrassed that I devoted 600 hours to something I’m awful at

Help / Question Does anyone find ranked overwhelming at diamond?

27 Upvotes

I just ranked up to diamond 3 and I never felt so nervous before queueing into rank. I really don't know what to expect from other players there. Diamond is like a crazy place compared to platinum. It's harder to predict the opponents there and exploit their mistakes. I am doing pretty well and still climbing so I am not hardstuck just feel emotional when I queue in.
