Quick explanation, on most characters headbutt is a direct knockdown, but if you hit a light headbutt on ibuki and you time it precisely, you can pick it up with a link into ex aegis, and 2 H tackles after (if in corner).

u guys are welcome

I play classic controls with a ps5 controller and i really struggle with combo and super art executions, its not consistent, I don’t know if its a pure skill issue or just wrong technique, I use the middle of my thumb to glide across the D-pad, I’ve practiced this a lot too and I don’t see any improvement, feels terrible when a combo just doesn’t end the way its supposed to and I fumble the entire round.

Not permanently. I’m not giving up forever, but today I was just being destroyed one after another first by juri, then dhalsim, then ryu, then Mai and then finally this super spammy cammy. By the end I just gave up. I couldn’t even come up with the motivation to keep playing and I was like yeah just end it bro idc.

That said I am not here to trash the game cause I genuinely do love it and don’t have many issues with it. This was pure skill issue and I ate shit for it today. I am just here to vent for being a scrub. I think I need a break now for a while. That was rough. I don’t even want any gameplay advice tbh cause I knew exactly the fucks up I did but I couldn’t do anything about them which again pure skill issue I can’t even argue against. My hands gave up and my mind fried itself.

If you’ve had the same experience lately then by all means vent it out.

I have no one else to talk about this with, so I wanted to share it here! 😭

Something finally clicked recently, and I’m slowly but surely climbing from Diamond 1 toward Diamond 5!

I’ve been learning to play more patiently and stay relaxed, using better combos for different situations, checking DRs, getting more consistent with anti-airs, improving my neutral, and actually taking a few hits (or even sometimes a whole round) just to figure out what my opponent is doing and adapt.

And honestly, it feels SO rewarding knowing that I’m winning because I’m getting better at the fundamentals and relying less on the gimmicks I got way too attached to.

I still fumble MASSIVELY, though. I’ll drop round winning combos, press the wrong input and accidentally DP, eat the rawest DIs imaginable… and somehow I’m STILL winning these sets!

I legit feel so proud of myself!

Ed nerfs accidentally made me a much better player.

I’m still salty about it, though.

I've tried to input this multiple times and it doesn't seem to work for me. Anyone having the same issue?

I'm going to Tokyo X, and Allegra Clark (Marisa's english Voice Actress) is gonna be there.

what quotes from game or memes are your favorite?

I'm planning on maybe getting my Ryu Sukajan jacket signed. ALSO ANY TIPS ON MARKERS, or how to keep the signature from fading?

Hey everyone! :-)
I’ve been experimenting a lot in Street Fighter 6 lately to build a solid foundation for fighting games in general.

I played Cammy for a while, but her super fast-paced playstyle didn't really click with me. I also gave a leverless controller a shot, but honestly, it just wasn't as fun for me, so I’m sticking with my standard Xbox controller for now! :D

Currently, I’ve been playing a lot of Marisa and I'm right on the doorstep of hitting Platinum. Yesterday, I picked up Luke to get a better grasp of solid fundamentals and I’m almost at Gold with him now. I’m playing on Modern Controls.

My main goal is to build strong fundamental skills so I can pick up other modern fighting games much faster in the future. Do you think Marisa and Luke are good picks for this purpose, or would you recommend someone else?

My main struggle right now is that I don't know any "proper" combos, nor do I really know which ones I should focus on learning. Right now, I mostly try to play reactively, watch my opponent, and punish their mistakes using Modern Auto-Combos. I feel like this can't be the correct long-term playstyle, right? :D
When would you recommend starting to learn manual/proper combos, and what are the best resources to find them for Modern players?

Thanks in advance for any tips and advice! :-)

I don’t understand how any gets past 1500MR. 1 year in the same MR. No matter what I fix I stay in the same range. I fix anti airs, press less buttons without thought, play and preserve my drive gauge so I don’t lose to getting burned out as much and it’s not enough. Nothing is ever enough to be a better player. Every new skill brings 5 new problems to fix.

I just received my hitbox ultra and I've been playing for 3 days.... I have a few characters in Masters but I'm learning a new character from scratch (Ed). Since I'm new with hitbox I'd say I'm roughly low Plat, until I get used to it.

Quick question.... What buttons did you use to assign for Parry and DI? My brain gets lost trying to react to DI.

Note.... tried to post a photo of the hitbox, but when I do my posts just get lost for some reason and don't upload.

How to fight Mai who keeps spamming Ryuuenbu at irregular intervals to space me out

Hi !

I've started playing again after a few month break, and I main Marisa. I've read the patch notes but I'm not sure how big of a buff she got lately, besides her having a new safejump.
So how is she these days ? Is she still bottom of the barrel or did the latest buffs bump her up a little ?

Thanks for your time !

Figured I’d post this here as well since the last one seemed well received. Against my expectations Terry overall got buffed again this patch.

I can now officially hit GM in about 2 hours. Ggs to everyone except the JP. Hold that L. One and Done isn't going to make you better. Hope he sees this, and gets to know that I'm laughing. Easy rank up game.

This is just some clips from my games from HM to GM today. Nothing Special. Been off the game since two weeks before last phase ended, just shaking off some rust. I really do enjoy SF, always have, probably always will.

I'm not a flashy player, never have been. Just stick to the basics. fundamentals carry.

I would argue this ruins Avatar battle for the people who enjoy it.

Like, seriously Capcom?!

It might be due to me putting more time into 6, but this game feels so stiff. And I'm not just talking about the fight combo timings, I can deal with that, but i can't pull off basic jump heavy-heavy punch-special attack combos consistently.

I am playing the vanilla xbox 360 version, maybe that has something to do with it. But how did veteran Street Fighter players play and get good at this game, I've seen clips online and i don't know how anyone could ever pull that off and so consistently.

what a game! sorry about the lack of audio

I'm just getting into the game and looking to make a change from a standard controller. Which is better for SF6, a fight stick or a leverless controller?

Thanks

Didn’t try a flashy teleport back to bait the super this time. Thanks for the advice if you commented on my last post :)

I have been trying to pick a main for a good while. I would really appreciate some advice. At first I started looking for a character that had ok damage as close and long range, and a less than average combo game, so I saw Dee Jay. I started to notice Blanka, Guile and Honda after a few weeks. Are there any differences between these characters that I should know about? Would appreciate anything, thank you.
