Top players think they miss Street Fighter IV, and try, every game to get rushdown, offense, or grapplers nerfed so that their perception of “good” play, stable, defensive, can reliably win their sets.

SF6 English voices are the best I have ever heard in a fighting game.
I think there was a great deal more direction and coaching with the voice cast this time.

Fafnir causes a "guard-break" state, during which Sol's opponent must block. They cannot YRC.
Damage scaling isn't normal after guard break.
With Blue RC drift after, you keep them in the standing blockstun longer, & they get high/low fuzzied.
Block Fafnir crouching, or die.

Modern controls unfortunately create a disconnect between experienced and inexperienced SF players in SF6, because when you try to talk to a new Modern player about buttons & specials, they have no clue what the normals are called.

I am dumbfounded by the amount of Guilty Gear players saying that throw whiff PRC should be removed from Strive.

Why does every barcade in the country only ever have Street Fighter II: Champion Edition, and why is it always the one cab with the bat-top sticks.

Hey Sinners. Beak Driver and far S being punishable by 2P is the point. You want them to think that getting a tiny 2P is good, so that you can get full combos by doing BD’s slide follow up and counter-hit

Not gonna lie, this is as about as toxic as I'll ever get on Twitter, but whoever made the breakaway mechanic in MK11 be activated by pressing down + block should probably be fired.

Hold this tension bitch. Have you considered that the fun of Guilty Gear is that you’re rewarded for being aggressive?

Killer Instinct sound design probably goes hardest of any game ever, but I couldn't think of one particular element to cite for its greatness. If I had to, it might just be Mick Gordon's character themes.

I've committed to re-learning MK11 with my block button swapped from R2 to R1.
Often, when I try to poke out of blockstun, nothing comes out. It's because the block button is set to a pressure sensitive trigger button by default for some reason.
Wavedashing is easier now too.

On defense against Sol, you can IB one of his most frequent frametrap / blockstring / combo options: 2K > 6S > Gunflame.
There is no variable timing for 2K > 6S, so you can train yourself to do this, reduce the pushback 2x, & punish gunflame. Then Sol has to re-think!

It’s a little ironic, Modern performs better at top level among players like Tokido and Shuto than at any low level.

It's not often that I try to convince folks to anti-air with a slow normal, but Rose's toward HK is an exception.
