Recapturing the feel of FGs from history past, Strive has finally caught lightning in a bottle and managed to create a group of players who can, uniquely, empathize with USF4 Dee Jay mains who also could never get their char just straight buffed with no catches
This is quite literally unprecedented in this game. This is a mobility tool you can simply walk out of. Do the Crouch Dash input, and gently tilt backwards. You will cancel it with a walk. This allows you to shield, do any tilt, spotdodge, etc.

The real lesson I've learned from Happy Chaos is that this is why if you have a gun in fighting games you either have to shoot it downward diagonally or it has to cost meter
at a glance, FromSoft boss progression is really funny. You go from Big Monster to EVEN BIGGER and then like, just pure abominations
but a lot of the time, the end point, the strongest opponent, is just A Dude
Kazuya can cancel his initial dashes with his diagonal (and backward) tilts! Think of them like little portable dash-attacks. This opens up many microspacing and punish opportunities from his grounded movement that the standard character just does not have
Realizing Nier is stuck in an unfortunate position because she's a puppet character in an ArcSys game, and we all know how it went for Eddie/Zato....
the natural law of the land....
PSA to all Luke players: if you prebuffer 236K during Sand Blast, you'll automatically supercancel if they move forward into its close hit range. If they don't, even on block/hit, nothing happens.

That Latif tweet got me thinking, and now I have to get it off my chest but
You should dispel the notion that the better player in any given situation will always win, especially in a bracket setting. While it might seem like this is me just saying "Upsets", it's more than that
I have to repeat: I love this narrative because it's like the +R community is extremely happy for me and all that I've done, but they're also in full knowledge that in this analogy I am basically Oppenheimer
I made a tweet about strive and for some reason the plus r and xrd ppl feel the need to chime in. I guess they have nothing better to do since nobody plays those games anymore lol
Unrelated but I LOVE when people try to market big trendy clearly dubious things in the FGC and just get absolutely clowned on.
There's a lot of things in the FGC but what unites a lot of it is its blatant disinterest in stuff like that
My Joker before Arsene out: Incredibly precise, engaging technical execution. My thoughtful decisions are giving me a lead and I am applying myself fully!
My Joker when Arsene out:
To this day it's my favorite FG clip I think. Nothing matches the roller coaster of emotion in this one, complete with the crunchy audio and the resolution
Now if anyone asked me "What's your favorite MUGEN video you've ever made" and I had to discount EASY (it was more of a stream moment anyways), it would probably be this, from seven years ago (2013, god damn)
So because Gill is Gill, he has true strike/throw mixup on everyone. St. LK is +3, throw is 5 frames, this blows up 3f. If you know they may attempt a throw tech, you can elect to do St. LK again, which on counter hit, LEADS TO A LAUNCHER IN THE CORNER. Fun!

so in +R, most fS type normals have an extended hurtbox during recovery (even Testament's!) to offset their great range and poking capability. Here's Ky's.....
@HonnouRod
and I however, discovered something.....
The usual joke was SFV can't go one season without one scandal or community bridge burn. It's impressive they've managed to end SFV how it started by absolutely crapping on long-time CPT commentators in the UK not even 6 months after that laughable "E-sports license" crapshow
Here it is! My article on GGXXAC+R! It chronicles my start with the game up until now, and also features, and I can't believe I'm saying this, over 75 community anecdotes! Thank you all SO much!
my chest heaves out a heavy sigh when I hear the phrase like, "every fighting game is bad"
its not necessarily because I disagree with the point that's attempting to be made, but I think it undermines the quality and work that goes into making one that people still play
Learned of a new, very cursed version of SOR1. On the SEGA Classics Arcade Collection on Sega CD, SOR1 was included! While the music is all the same, the voice samples are all HIGH QUALITY CD AUDIO
The end result? It's so strange....
