Hi spicytunaroll, I am quite on and off with KZbin and fighting games, but I do still play a bit and am also hyped to see Akuma in SF6. If I end up playing him for a longer period of time, I'll probably make a guide, though you shouldn't expect it in the first few weeks or even months after he drops. I'm a pretty slow learner and like to take my time with those.

It's Ryu's fastest normal at 4f. If they miss their meatie, you can link it in other light normals and end in light tatsu or heavy dp. It's a way to challenge the opponent without having to spend the 2 bars on OD dp. But it's also a bit of a bad habit to mash jab on wakeup, I definitely do it too much.

Yeah, feels great to be back. Street Fighter 6 is such a good game too. They put so much love and detail into every aspect of the game. Are you still playing? If so: join us for sets sometimes!

@@Hushfield I’ll be back 😊

The hype is real, for sure.

Yes he is definitely the most original character I'm surprised he's not the main mascot for the game.instead they gave Luke all the credit and he's been in street fighter 5.

@@Final_Fantasy_7 Luke seems boring & generic.

Hi, that's a tricky question. People have lots of different opinions on this. Personally I would recommend not spending too much money if you're new. After all, you don't know if you want to invest a lot of time and money into fighting games yet. There are 3 main types of controllers: pads, fightsticks and leverless controllers like hitbox. I've played a lot on all three. I started with pad and would recommend that to beginners because they're the cheapest (at first, but if you keep playing for a long time, you also have to replace these a lot because the D-pad will wear out, so in the long run they're not as cheap). I would recommend trying a Playstation controller (Dualshock 4 or 5) if you want to play offline, because most of the FGC is on PlayStation for offline locals or tournaments. Alternatively, lots of people like the Hori fighting commander gamepad for fighting games. Lots of people eventually switch to fightstick, because that's how these games were played in arcades for a long time. I would recommend a mid-level stick from HORI as your second controller, but anything from Mad Catz and Qanba will also be a quality stick. If you have people in the area that play fighting games, you could always ask if you could play on one of their sticks for a bit to get used to the feeling and see if you like it. Finally a lot of people have switched to leverless controllers like Hitbox. This is what I have played on for years now, and for me this is the ultimate way to play fighting games. My movement inputs are a lot crisper, and the smaller buttons for the right hand (24mm instead of the normal larger 30mm on most sticks) make them a bit less tiring on the hands. Many Japanese pros play on these as well, because they allow for very fast reactions and there's less inconsistencies with the movement. But they are very expensive and if you order an official hitbox the waiting times can be extremely long (several months). I would recommend this as a third controller when you know you'll be playing fighting games for a long time. Watch out that for Street Fighter 6 specifically many tournaments run this on PS5, and the FGC is in a bit of transition from PS4 to PC (due to covid) and now to PS5. There's many controllers that don't work with PS5 (although there's now converters that help with this like the Brooks Wingman FGC). In the end, the answer to your question comes down to budget and personal preference. You can play the game, get good, be competitive and win major tournaments using any of those controllers. Hope this helps.

Obviously this is personal experience but the Xbox DPAD is probably one of the worst to use for me, much more precise inputs with individual buttons for directions.

@@Hushfield very helpful! Thank you very much for the response

@@amarante2993 idk I just hate the idea of not being able to use my full kit with modern controls. Ima just grind and get good with classic controls. I just purchased an arcade stick so looking forward to it!

If you're interested in Ken stuff, be sure to check out the Ken compilation as well ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIubqKWXhLKXm7s

@@Hushfield Thanks! Will do! Appreciate the compilations!

You are king of all kings

Haha, omg I never noticed that before. That's hilarious ^^

o

That's when Jamie players need to constantly drink to keep the drive up and use the dive kick and bakkai to deal with fireballs. But yeah, zoners are still gonna be a pain. Lol

I think the fact that you guaranteed a safe drink after almost every combo makes up for it. Im not the best player but I had no trouble getting to 4 drinks if I just played agro and drank while they where knocked down or full screen.

Bro his divekick is actually good and is easy to make safe.

And his Bakkai goes through projectiles. All versions of them.

Yeah or in other words drunk lmao

Sorry about that. Great set, nonetheless. Watched a bunch of your replays this beta, well played for sure.

You have to advance the dialogue once or twice first before it shows up. So press one of the right thumb buttons (probably x) once or twice, and it should show the button (probably option on ps). Hope you get it to work.

@@Hushfield okay thx I’ll check
