I haven't tried with the PS5 controller, but I couldn't get the feel of SFV with the DualShock controller at all. I couldn't do any move I could normally do on Xbox.

That game at launch felt like something only for eSports gamers and hardcore tourney heads, with little to no single player options for a while. I kept up on the upgrades as they trickled down, but V never sat with me like IV did.
I don't think the divide was as big as players going from II to III, but the divide was definitely felt.

I haven't played SFV in a while either. Strive is collecting dust. I hate getting bodied but I don't have enough time to lab and shit like that anymore.

i play strive 4-5 hours a week, rarely labbing proper, just practicing combos while i wait for matches. i am getting by just fine in the park (unranked). however i don't have the patience to grind celestial. that is truly a frustrating process. for now i am good with being "stuck" on rank 10 and occasionally finding really good matchups in the park where we play 10-20 matches. i plan on entering NLBC strive tournament one of these days while i am still within the specified region

Strive is so beautiful. But I barely have/take the time to dig into it. And I can't make myself take the time to learn anyone other than Potemkin and a lazy/bad Leo.
And I stopped trying to get to Celestial pretty fast when it became clear that people were running scared on Floor 10. AKA folks were trying to cherry pick, run from matchups, etcetera.
So if I had a winning streak going? No one would fight me for a loooooong time. And hell, if someone was actually willing to fight me, I just assumed they were fully prepared to play in the most 'foot on the ropes/hand full of tights' way possible and either kill me dead with the repeat mixup until it works style or the get a life lead then run like a bitch for the rest of the round to win via timeout.
I'm too straight up for all of that shit. If I'm playing a game, I'm playing a game and I ain't hardly trying to run from anyone. If I win, cool. If I lose, cool. If I play you and I didn't enjoy it cuz setplay and/or running, I probably won't rematch. But not playing someone cuz of a character or win streak? Man, forget all of that. If I'm doing that, then I probably shouldn't be playing the game.

ranked in fighting games always sucks. always some folks cheesing or playing lame to protect/inflate their rank and they are unavoidable. i only play ranked to get up to a certain level so i get matched with better players

Yeah. I peek in here and there on it. And I eventually buy the characters, but the days of me putting in lots of time on SFV are long gone. Between this and Strive, I'll get back in sometime in the spring. My next thing to try is NBA2k22, my first 2k in a really long time. I'm going to find some sliders and then try to get to it!
Oddly enough, the game I keep going back to is Enter The Gungeon. I tried a little EXIT the Gungeon too. EtG is 1 hour in and out and still a blast for me to play while I'm listening to something else. And I don't always play with Gunslinger/Lich either. I've been enjoying Paradox quite a bit too. I'm not at 100% yet. I don't know if I'll get all the way there, but I'm going for it!
14. "Street Fighter the only game I really sink time into anymore" In response to Reply # 12
I’ll play three or four big single player games a year, but for the most part if I turn my console on it’s for SF.
I’m fine with this. I ain’t played 2K since like 2016. I don’t play shooters past the first month. I dabble in other fighting games. I only got time to really go in on one thing, and I’ve decided SF my one thing.
18. "What did folks think about yesterday's reveals?" In response to Reply # 0
It appears the full cast was leaked as well. I'm assuming Capcom wasn't behind the full leakage since I imagine the full cast won't be available when the game launches, especially not for free. I can't see Capcom forgoing that sweet DLC money.
It also appears as if there will be single player action this go around based on the small snippets of a main character walking around what looks like Final Fight's Metro City. That might sucked a non-serious fighting game player such as myself in. That and the fact that I also saw online that simplistic non-motion based commands are going to be added to the game.
Seems like Capcom will hardcore into revamping Street Fighter. I hope the netcode will be up to snuff with all the added stuff that's packed in.

SFI - Meh SFII - Great SFIII = Meh, except to the hardcore SFIV - Great SFV - Hard sell (though nowhere near as bad as ST5. That's the Bruno of the film series) SFVI - ???
I do hope they put something in for single player, but I'm not sure I want that to be a lightly skinned Final Fight either. I'm sure I'll buy it, and sure I'll upgrade at least 2 of my fightsticks to work (I have a wireless Happ based PS4/PS3 stick in the works that I've got to get the PS5 add on for. My Sanwa/Seimitsu sticks will wait for the next wave of PCBs to drop).

a monitor with no latency makes so much difference.
Part of the reason I stopped playing was because I thought I was too old to confirm Ken's cr.MK into SRK on reaction. On this monitor I can do it pretty consistently.
I can't check dashes as much as I want but I'm sure I'd be able to on PC
24. "Which definitely means the leak was fake." In response to Reply # 20
Interesting how much work Capcom is putting into SFVI. I wonder what made the Capcom devs so humble. Now I won't feel so bad for wanting to look at the full roster with more attention.
I did notice that Dee Jay was one of the characters in the main roster. Sucks that he's a charge character, but I suppose I'll have to pick up that game for certain to play with my fellow countryman despite the fact I stink in playing fighting games.

People forget (or don’t know) that Dee Jay is actually top tier in Super Turbo. He’s mad fun, and I was also somebody who avoided charge characters until very recently.
He’s on my shortlist of potential mains for SF6, along with Lil Kim.
25. "it almost looks like an NRS game. not enjoying the hitstun animations" In response to Reply # 0 Mon Jun-13-22 03:53 PM by bearfield
it's a little janky. i'm sure they will figure it out. SFV looked awful before it released and ended up being a great product. i do like the utility of the drive gauge. people keep saying "focus attacks are back" but it looks more like blitz from guilty gear xrd rev2 to me. SFV became (relatively) wild after a slow start. hopefully SFVI starts off a little more wild than SFV did so it can go to crazier places in the future
36. "Based on the more recent gameplay footage" In response to Reply # 25
it looks a little less janky and stiff, if I'm interpreting what you typed correctly. I believe some of the movement for SF6 is motion captured and not just completely animated, so you are correct with the NRS comparison.
The number of mechanics I'm seeing in the recent gameplay footage is pretty interesting. Pretty cool how defense will be rewarded in SF6. Should make for some hype tournament moments for sure.

I fell off paying attention to SFV during the pandemic when everything went online. Also hype that it's coming to more platforms since I mostly play on Xbox these days.

It is wild playing a SF without crush counters. It is EASY to forget that its not 100% big money damage time when someone whiffs a yolo SRK.
As always, I'm excited for what SF6 is going to have. It looks like they've made some strong decisions about what they want the game to be so far. It is just a matter of how the characters mix in with it.
And I'm interested in what kind of story they're going to put together too: old Ryu, broke Ken, where is the evil folks?, what about G? All of that stuff.

I applied (PS5) but I'm not optimistic. We'll see!
And I'm never great at these games (I don't put the time in and my twitch is declining), but I always get hype for them. 3 hit when I was in college and they didn't get the console releases in a timely manner. But I still had an arcade nearby where I could play it a little bit.
I bought 4 pretty fast and put hella hours on it. I sat 5 down a bunch of different times but still enjoyed it overall.
6 looks pretty lovely. And they got me with 'broke Ken' and wondering what these new villains are gonna be up to. And it looks like they took offense to talk that their characters don't have enough tools so some of these characters appear to have a lot of stuff going for them. I'm interested for sure.

Boo. Not sure what the hell Capcom was doing with the invites. I put in for and got it. I was shocked. Ps5.
I’m trying to do some justice to it. It’s pretty damn gorgeous to look at for sure. And the ‘tone’ of the game is dark in a good way. I’m excited to see some of the confirmed characters in this. I’m guessing Akuma is finna be out of hand on this.
Early on, you can’t be on the scene just throwing out shit or you’re gonna get your broth seasoned. I think people have been playing games where a bunch of stuff is plus on block. I was going to town on some people for a while…people were playing footsies with sweeps.
The lobby setup is pretty good, it’s easy to roll up and spectate, and if you and someone get a good set going, you can just keep on fighting. Imagine that!
When you hit someone, it HITS. Fierce and roundhouses especially.
The different level specials are interesting too.
Drive Meter seems like a good time. And when someone goes into burnout mode, the heat is on their azzes fo sho!
Im playing with broke ass/fugitive Ken so far. He’s a good familiar time of course. And they made sure he didn’t look goofy this time. I need to jump to Ryu for a while then get to Kimberly. She seems like a fun mix of Guy, Claw, and maybe a couple of others.
And duh, Guile is still Guile. You’re not doing any yolo shit against a devoted Guile. He hits like a truck too so you don’t have to fuck around for a long time to find out.

>CFN: Amonster >Xbox: Amonumental > >
My 25-year ago Ken would've been no match for whatever you were bringing I'm sure!
It took me like a day to remember that Ken's run extends combos. And even by Sunday night, there was still some good combos that I couldn't make myself even try to pull off. I didn't start ducking into emptier surveys to try to hit the lab for a good while.
I gave a few people the biz with my Street Fighter 101 shit tho! I got the biz from pretty much every Guile I dealt with. I just wasn't getting enough damage when I would get in. And Guile, like always, is THE yolo punisher.
Overall though, I REALLY like how SF6 'feels' in that beta. Its like a bonkers mix of SF3 and SF4 in the best ways. And really, it seems like you've gotta DO SOMETHING or you're gonna get waxed by the whole cast cuz everyone can do you in something dirty it seems. That's fun.
42. "I paid for a key and was able to get in Saturday night" In response to Reply # 41
I wanted to play Kimberly but I didn't wanna spend what time I had left in training mode all day so I went with Ken. I was having a blast. Buttons are easier to whiff punish, drive impact keeps things interesting, and the drive gauge is a dope ass mechanic.
SF 101 got me to Diamond rank and I was barely using the SF6 stuff. The most I did on Saturday evening was be mindful of our drive gauges. People would spend all their gauge early in the match and I'd just make them pay for it. Developing strats around the gauge is gonna be fun as shit.
I didn't really start using the SF6 mechanics until Sunday. Drive Impact was annoying at first but by the second day my reactions were getting better so I was able to start punishing them. Whiff punishing a button then going into parry rush into a fat ass combo into corner carry is mad satisfying.
My last game of the beta I was trying out some shit in training mode against a Ken player and he was up 4-0. I got sick of losing and started playing for real.
Ran 6 straight on him right before the beta shut down. Hold that shit till next year fam.
I'm interested in seeing how grapplers work in SF6. I wanna play Manon and go back to my Abel roots but I like having a DP and a fireball.

I couldn't make myself do parry rush with any kind of consistency. It was too fast for me to do it and know what to expect.
And yes, I'm very interested in how the hosses will work in this game. I'm guessing that people who try to roll up with rushdowns with holes are gonna get their meats totally lumped.
I love Drive Impact. I too got to the point where I could bait it, react to it, and of course, punish the shit out it. And even better, I could program people to be scared to do it. Which of course means I get to use it too.
46. "haven't seen a character i'm interested in playing just yet" In response to Reply # 0
prefer a mid-range neutral character with a little rushdown and setplay like kolin in SFV or ky in strive. my interest in SF6 grows with each video i watch but can't seem to locate a character that "fits my hands." we'll see what happens with DLC chars, or maybe i'm overlooking someone very obviously suited to my playstyle. will stick with strive for now, and the new granblue release whenever it comes out

i guess they are trying to find a sweet spot to reach both seasoned and new players but they just end up feeling anemic and not that informative. wouldn't be mad at all if they went the strive route of overview -> special move demonstrations -> summary over the course of 2-5 minutes

I'm old now and having all these menus and videos and clicking and clacking to get to play a fighting game annoys me to no end. I cut the beta off. I thought I was going to just download and play real quick before I had to do something. Nope! That just made me grumpy lol

at least the core gameplay looks great (i couldn't be bothered to get past the character creator either) so i guess capcom is all in on expanding the player base with this open world custom character stuff

Luckily, I was in the closed betas so I didn't have to do none of that.
I only had to change my controls back to classic. I did one fight with Modern controls by accident with Luke (I was rolling with Ken or Jamie) because I didn't realize that my settings weren't right. I took a powerful asswhoopin.
My barely there Jamie took a ugly mirror match beatdown late last night too! It was good to see him in better hands tho..he's gonna be pretty fun.
I'm ready for the whole thing to come out so I can roll up on one of the bigs. I'm excited and I think it is going to go well.
