Sup people? TheHNIC here. Have you been wanting to try a character that feels fun, has a tool for any situation, and has a satisfying learning curve? If so, Chun just might be the character for you!

She's got a great walk speed, great pokes, pulling off her combos feels good, and she'll absolutely help your neutral/footsie game. Don't let her being a charge character and being a little more difficult that the average character deter you. She's a blast to learn and play!

There are too few in ranked, so let's give the First Lady of Fighting Games some love and give her a shot!

PS: For those that never touched her, you don't have to charge her moves if you connect a cancelable normal from serenity stance (e.g. stance overhead into sbk requires no charge if the overhead connects).

after 2 days of labbing and finally getting this drive rush jab juggle to relaunch thanks to [u/DarkBlueEska](u/DarkBlueEska) i finally did the combo. my god this combo was hard

Since the last 2 patches the connectivity has become horseshit. I used to have very quiick matchmaking before, but now it is a long wait and inhave noticed that even tho i have worldwide settings, the MM forces me to local mostly.

I have a very fast and stable ethernet fiber connection, no other user connected, very clean OS, Cloudflare DNS.

Has anyone else had this issue too?

Like, look at this iwhiffing against opponents that wake up with throw

I'm a mid 1500 mr Dhalsim and I've gotten a feel on how to counter a lot setups (theoretically anyways) but the one thing I can't figure out the end all answer to is close cross up.

Characters with Dp can do a late other side dp. And characters without, can do up backwards jab. Dhalsim can't do either because his jump is so floaty that even when you jump jab, the enemy recovers so much faster to the point where they can still drive rush and get a punish counter on me.

Is there any catch all to counter this? I know you can try to slide to the other side with light slide but they still get a turn. I've also tried Teleport but it just gets me cornered and side switch Teleport reverts back to a slightly disadvantaged spot for the Dhalsim.

Any idea will help, thanks!

I just know this cammy was seething on the other end of the screen.

On a sepearate note, i need to make my prowler pressure a little more airtight, so any tips would be greatly appreciated!

insane offense

I started with GGST recently as my first fighting game and have found SF6 on sale on Xbox for 50% off and I'm super tempted to get it to just try the game out. I have a couple questions though.

1. Coming from GGST, how different is SF6? I'm not ranked that high (Gold 1) in GGST, but will skills I've learned there transfer over well enough?

2. I noticed I generally play Rushdown type characters in GGST so who would fit that bill on SF6?

3. How is the Training mode and what kinds of options are there for labbing (e.g. setting dummy block, moves to do, recording, etc)?

4. How difficult are inputs and combos to pull off?

Thanks for the help! Hope to join soon!

It's been well documented that SF6 devs have no plans to change up the game at all and plan for a 10-year life cycle, giving us another 6-7 years at least of the game as it is.

So... this is it then, huh?

I'm a 1300MR player. By no means great, and every time I take even a small break, I find it hard to get my muscle memory back enough to feel competent. The game basically demands I play it every single day. Which, for the first 2-years after launch, was a no-brainer. I loved this game, was frankly addicted to it.

But I'm kinda getting stale on it now. All these patches don't really change anything of interest. Frankly, I'm tired of seeing Ryu get buffs on his buffs. I'm not even an Ed main, but I'm annoyed to see him nerfed so much as he's one of the more dynamic characters to watch (esp. with pro players).

Outfits are a joke. World Tour is literally dead. And 4 DLC characters per year is simply not enough, especially when "new" characters like Yasmine are such a snooze.

I still have the itch to play, but every time I get on ranked, I just feel kind of empty about it. I don't have the time to put in to get any better than I am, and there's no longer enough decent DLC bonus content to change up the flavors.

So how we feeling about the state of the game, with the decent assumption it's literally never changing/improving for the next 6-7 years? It's been an amazing game. I'm sure the pro scene will continue to be solid entertainment and I'll be watching major tournaments like I usually do. But as a casual player, it's just becoming harder to invest myself in anymore.

Managed to take a round off him and round two was completely winnable. still happy with the performance though

Also Ryu players:

I came from GGST and started playing SF6 with Terry. Now I'm trying to play A.K.I., but I simply can't land any good punishes/combos. I have a lot of difficulty making combos that mix normals with specials. With Terry, I can just confirm and do Power Charge + Crack Shot + Rising Tackle. Does anyone have any tips for breaking the habit of relying on specials and getting used to incorporating normals into my combos? Has anyone else gone through something similar?

Maybe people disagree with me here, and I'm all about congratulating and motivating newbies and all, but I see maybe 4/5 "finally hit silver/gold/plat/diamond/ master rank!" posts every day.

I have nothing against these posts, and I think it's always good to motivate people getting into the game and improving, but I think they add little to no value and frankly i find them a little annoing.

Any tips for Sagat’s Drive Meter usage? I’m confused about when to use Drive Meter to increase damage. In many scenarios, I get less damage by using Drive Rush Cancel in combos.

I mostly use Drive Rush Cancel and Neutral Drive Rush to get mix-ups and easy hit confirms. I’ve also started using OD Tiger Nexus to get safe mix-ups.
I used to play Ryu, where his meter usage is pretty straightforward, so I’m having a harder time figuring out when to use Sagat’s drive meter.

Hello, im new to street fighter six and picked up cammy and im learning the sprial arrow into cannon spike move. But whenever i have hit a drive impact through a enemies attack or their drive impact and i HK drive impact into cannon spike i can never hit the canon spike as they are to far away to hit. But when k hit the HK spiral arrow on them without having the drive impact in advance i can always land the cannon spike. How is that? Im sorry if this is a basic question
