How long do people generally find it takes to adapt (get to the same level as before using it) to leverless? I used PS5 controller until a few days ago, got a Haute M16 Plus and have been using it for about 10 hours. Is it normal to go totally backwards and feel like I'm a 4 year old trying to learn to play video games again? I see on YouTube only a lot of videos about leverless shortcuts but I feel am not even ready for that yet. I am finding basic movement, jumping etc quite difficult / unnatural. My DI reactions are gone, probably because I'm using thumb instead of left index finger on L1, it's like having to program it into myself all over again. BnB combos are also majorly unreliable - can do in training fine but in matches my fingers just freeze up or mix up buttons. Do I just need to practice more?

I WANT TO HIDE MY PROFILE FROM THE LEADERBOARDS, MY FRIENDS AND CLUB MEMBERS. IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO THAT?

I mean when right now we see Oh, Akuma/Bison/Rashid/etc. are just so OP and that all we see nowadays online and in tournaments. But we know howuch of the community

But really let's look at amount and variety characters we see commonly and making it at top level play.

Ken,Rashid,Akuma,Ed,Bison,Cammy,Gief.

Then you can say Guile,Juri and A.K.I are also nearly as successful and common.

That is over a third of the current 24 characters right now. And for fighting game standards that is actullay not bad at all.

Plus the difference between tiers is not THAT big anymore. I mean I don't think any current characters is as Bad as S1 Luke or JP, and they are perfectly beatable.

I mean S1 was all Luke,Ken,JP, DJ and then Chun I guess.

I mean we have a Ryu qualified for Capcom Cup and we almost had a freaking Manon too. Dark Horse characters to have a shot at making it.

Yes I understand that overall pick rates are just that: overall monthly pickrates. But I feel like some days all I see is this or that character in ranked.

For instance, today I played 9 ranked sets. In which I got 4 distinct Manon players. This gives a p-value of 0,00000003699244111. Other days it's another character, say JP or Kimberly.

Of course I don't expect (and I don't want to) only see Bison, Akuma, Ryu and Ken over and over. But after months of having this feeling, I start to suspect that there's some kind of algorithm to cycle over the characters so we can experiment all the match-ups, instead of having it totally random.

So my (probably paranoid conspiracy) theory is that every day, each player gets assinged one to three characters which get a boosted matchmaking affinity.

Say me and my friend Foobar. Today we're playing ranked and we queue looking for games. Internally and hiddenly, the game assigns me an increased matchmaking affinity for Dhalsim and Guile players while Foobar gets it for Chun-Li and Deejay. That doesn't mean we will ONLY get those matches, but it'll be MUCH more likely to find those compared to their real usage rate.

I know similar things exist for some Poker apps, where you can get increased changes of getting a good hand and a good flop every now ant then, so you feel some "luck" is on your side, and don't get always destroyed by complete random events and good opponents.

Did any of you get this feeling as well?

Context: this is the first fighting game I’m genuinely spending time to get better at

I’ve been playing just under a hundred hours on PS5, been a Kimberly player since day two of owning the game and recently I hit platinum! However, for the past straight month, I’ve been teetering back and forth between Plat and gold, constantly getting demoted and promoted. I use the practice room to lab out combos, figure out reach of attacks but I don’t feel that I am getting much better (at least based on rank).

2 things:

Do y’all have any other tips for self improvement or ways to critique myself?

And

Is there any weight to the idea that I’m holding myself back with my character? I sometimes feel that Kimberly is very weak in comparison to other characters on the roster

Sorry y’all I know it was a long read but I appreciate that you’ve read this much and I thank you for any feedback!

We always hear who the most annoying is, so which one do you guys think is the least annoying. I'd probably say luke after his nerfs, I don't really hear much complaining about him (but I'm biased since hes a secondary character of mine).

Man, I am so Happy! What a ride hahahaha

The Shin Akuma Giant Attack thing in Battle Hub is probably one of the coolest things to occur there, as you had the chance to fight a damn boss-level CPU fighter with extra moves and buffs and get rewards for doing so.

It was something fresh that the BH needed and you wanted to stay as you attempt to beat Akuma (I couldn't and I wish I did).

I liked it for the same reasons as SFV's Extra Battle, it let you fight a familiar fighter with buffs like permanent V-Trigger, or even different movesets like with Shadow Lady, bringing in the added element of surprise

It sucks that they didn't bring it back for Bison's release. I can only imagine a Shin Bison with new moves like the return of his Teleport, Psycho Shot, and a new Super move like the infamous Alpha 3 Psycho Crusher!

Other ideas include an Evil Ryu of sorts, Violent Ken with Psycho-Power-enhanced moves and his teleport-dash thing, or even Mech Zangief with a lotta Super Armor.

It's events like these that could keep me logging into Battle Hub on a frequent basis, not just to grind out Kudos for the passes.

I recently pick up guile, so can i lend some of you guile mains combos

.

I found out in the recent Endingwalker triple parry clip that he is known in the Chinese street fighter community as "Ed King" so I went to see what other nicknames I could find for well known players.

Most names are either translated literally (e.g. Big/Angry Bird) or approximated phonetically. Japanese names that use kanji are typically read as Chinese characters in Mandarin. Chinese/Taiwanese players are often just referred to by their IRL names, either partially or fully. Xiaohai gets "big brother" appended because he wins in both SF and KoF presumably.

The term "big brother" is used a lot, and can be a term of endearment or respect, or it could just mean "guy" or "dude". I chose to leave it as "big brother" and you can decide what it means for each person.

Punk - Nervous big brother Punk

Tokido - Tokyo University

Tamago - Egg roll

Score - Fraction

Gachikun - Master(sifu) Ga

Chris Wong - Master(sifu) Huang (Because Cantonese Wong = Mandarin Huang)

Nephew - Big/Eldest Nephew

MenaRD - Pig King (Presumably because Birdie is called pig?)

Endingwalker - Ed King

Problem X - Police King

Vxbao - Little Treasure (Something parents might refer to their kids as, my parents did sometimes when I was little)

from u/Consistent-Horse-273: Vxbao is probably acronym for Wei Xiao bao (don't know why V is used instead of W), a character from martial art novel. DCQ is acronym for Ding Chun Qiu, also a character form martial art novel.

Zhen - Village Meat?
from u/b1081081: For Zhen, 村肉 is shortened from 农村小鲜肉, which means "a little fresh meat from the village". "Little fresh meat" is a slang for young and handsome dudes.

NoahTheProdigy - Burnout dude (Thanks to u/Thickdemon)

I moved out of China when I was very young so I'm not familiar with Chinese slang or gaming terminology.

Kakeru - 翔 (soar/ascend)

I don't know Japanese but 翔 doesn't seem to be the kanji for Kakeru.

EDIT: Apparently 翔 is indeed the kanji that Kakeru uses for his name.

BONUS:

Some of the names that are just phonetic approximations are fun to translate literally.

Leshar -> Lei Sha -> Lightning Brake

Shuto -> Shu Tou -> Comb hair

Hope to see you soon!

Yesterday i did playing with my friend, he was using Akuma, entire set was really tight, this moment was amazing, i reacted to his DI (with Denjin charge and OD fireball i can DI back), then big combo into level 3, probably getting nervous when i see him at of zero vital and still blocking anything, made couple mistakes (OD fireball that burnout me and unnecessary jump), he did almost the best comeback especially when he caught my jump back in the corner, i was like ''genius, i m probably dead'' then somehow i was still alive and decided to reversal dp at wakeup no matter what, it was my only option there and here it is, my light dp beats his OD dp

Why, OD dp has its first 8f of invulnerability (1-8), my friend just missed the timing and throw that move little too early, somehow by doing light dp ryu just escapes from any hit

Pure luck, tbh i should lose it and i deserved it: he almost did a great comeback

Capcom why won't you give us more glue sticks to chew???

After playing since launch, managed to get my first character to Master after 4175 games without learning any combos other than jab, jab OD fireball to reset and get distance. Master scrub.
