I’m glad you have such an optimistic view toward beatdowns

Cuz I almost launched my ps5 out the damn window playing black Jesus

Fighting games is literally the only time I get upset or angry nowadays :mjlol:

I used to go to the local aftet sparring and legit be in a better mood fighting nikkas irl than playing strive :mjlol:

For pad I use a dualsense edge held regularly but I map L3/R3 to the back paddles for rage art/heat smash. R1/R2 set to 1+2 & 3+4, and L1/L2 set to throws. IMO this is the best possible pad setup on PlayStation overall


Been learning leverless on the razer kitsune lately tho it’s been super satisfying :ohlawd:

I grip it regular because I use binds (sorry if that breaks the unwritten rules POPS @Black_Jesus )

For the d-pad though, I’m trying to adjust to using the tip of my thumb instead of the ball of my thumb, seems to be more precise

Lol they have leverless hitboxes now. There are no more rules.

Top of the thumb for dpad is a must imo. So much easier to hit diff directions. Using the ball will tire me out and make my execution sloppy

So I switched from claw, to regular grip with everything mapped and I feel like a complete dumbazz for not trying it sooner. It almost feels like my character was designed for reg grip.

So much less stress. Just Frames a breeze. I can play and practice for longer. Execution doesn't weigh on me as much I don't feel like I need to scramble as much.

the ranked system in this game is so fukking retarded lol. you lose like 680 points losing to a tekken god and only gain 500. make it make sense.
Majority of fighting games rank system is like that and I have no idea why. Why do we lose more than we would have won if we would have won the match? It's beyond stupid. DBFZ annoyed the fukk out with that. It's also dumb that I lose more points from someone of a higher ranking than me than I would from someone a lower ranking.

Street Fighter 6 is the only fighting that doesn't do that. Matter of fact you can't lose more than 40 points a match while you can gain as much as 255 I think in one match.

The rank is like that to separate the elite players from the decent players.. and I believe it's only like that once you get to the higher ranks.. Nah you have to win consistently to rank up.. losing more points to higher ranks than if you win is their way of telling you that you ain't ready yet :heh:
