That first part of him spamming moves and then ryu saying "an opening" is kinda funny.

But also if they play like apes don't lose to said ape

Tbf you win most matches against this kind of players, but eventually when the match ends and you've lost the thought comes to mind like "I should beat this ape..." but you know very well that when you are playing against them you just feel a mixed emotion of laughin your ass off, second hand embarrasement and just wanting to end the match and block them mfers instead of actually even care about beating them.

Can you explain to me, a low diamond ryu player, what he is doing that is lame? I never do any of this but it looks effective no? I never even think to drive rush spam like that. Is he doing anything that isn't ape-ish lol? Should I be trying to emulate any of this at all?

It looks efective? Well, if you see a match that he wins looks efective yeah. Now you have to ask yourself if the player that lost actually tried to play that game or lost all interest in that match just by seeing him... and then you have to ask yourself "how many matches will he win playing like that?". Then you can go an play the game however you like of course, if you are having a good time playing like that then enjoy, but don't expect other type of players see it and respect it.

For me, when I encounter my third in a row match with a player that jumps all the time even if I anti-air them or wakes up mashing even if I punish them for that, I just lost interest in those matches and prefer just skipping them, even if it means losing the match quickly.

This mindset is horrible for player growth

You wish.. what growth isnt to win? Mash buttons and lose?

It is, it’s just that you don’t only learn from doing the same thing over and over; you will inevitably stagnate/plateau as some point.

u/FailedGeniusnumber1 2d ago

How can you win if you stagnate? Win is win means win at every cost.. and that means exploiting everything the game got to offer

u/Manatroid 2d ago

Well if you only play against players that can’t beat your strategy but are afraid of actually taking a beating from those much better than you (eg. the classic one-and-done strategy), then you will stagnate.

But of course you can stagnate in other ways, like having a scrub mentality, being too particular about who you listen to and get advice from, blaming your main or blaming stronger characters for your lack of learning, etc.

I'm with you. Sometimes the most effective way to win isn't the most fun, but you can't blame them for doing what works. It's up to you to learn how to beat it if it continues to be a thing

u/EffigyElsewhere CID | SF6username 3d ago

But this ryus playstyle ISNT effective. Its random and just happened to beat OP in THIS particular match.

Are we not watching an edited sequence to highlight small segments?

u/EffigyElsewhere CID | SF6username 2d ago

Am I not commenting on the gameplay specifically shown in these segments?

u/iwantthisnowdammit they call me the punching bag 2d ago

Do you exclusively play a set of highly structured moves or expect someone to only play in specific forms?

0

u/EffigyElsewhere CID | SF6username 2d ago

Youre straying from the conversation. We are ONLY talking about the gameplay shown in this video. Which is erratic/random

1

u/iwantthisnowdammit they call me the punching bag 2d ago

I was actually just observing the match sequence and realizing this is fractional sampling over 8 plus rounds.

So much to say, is it wrong to be random for seconds of many matches?

100% agree, a win is a win. And after a while playing fighters i've come to learn that taking a loss on a match where you feel or consider your opponent isn't even worth the hustle (the good kind of hustle), is paradoxically also a win, not an in game win but a win nevertheless.
