I lost, I was way too nervous and when I did get my bearings it was too little too late
Either way this is just the beginning, I'm going to go to more offline tournaments in the future and hope to do better and hope to meet even more awesome people!
Thank you all, really 🙏
TOP 16 LET'S GOOOO
I'd like to thank from the bottom of my heart
@SaltmineTV
@corner2_corner
and
@2becommunity
for flying me out, none of this would've been possible without them!
Thank you everyone for the support, and now to get that top 8 💪
A major battle balance update is coming your way on May 22 along with Akuma!
Affecting all characters and with a new universal reversal mechanic, watch a few highlights in this trailer. 🕹️
Went through a S2 Manon video and as far as I can tell her moves are exactly the same as before
- no 6f medium
- st. Mk still 10f startup
- OD spin still 25f startup
More damage on level 3 and b.HP into OD spin kick combo is nice, but hopefully I'm wrong and there is more stuff
By far the worst part of this update for Manon is having to learn every single characters drive reversal
Some leave you close for a command grab, depending on what button they drive reversal, while others don't leave you close enough for a jab so you have to use lk instead
S3🙏
I came 2nd place at World Warrior and thus my CPT is over for this year!
I couldn't beat the amazing
@GGHalibel
, he has improved so much in the last couple of months and I just couldn't keep up. I wish him all the best in Capcom Cup, take it home brother 💪
Until next year!
Okay, found another small change, I think
A little bit of a nerf imo, as it is something that I liked to do a lot, but Manon used to be able to walk back a little before doing her command grab
I think the buffer for it was like 13 frames, now it seems to be about 9 frames
🤷♂️
Next on SETS we head back to Europe presenting

The first guest characters in the series from Fatal Fury by
@SNKPofficial
are joined by two high-spirited veterans!
@Davsn0t
I don't know what they are yet, but if they think that what they posted for Manon is somehow impressive, then I don't have any hopes left for the character lol
@shmunkee_
She still has major issues, to the point where other character nerfs are more Significant than her buffs
No 6f cr mp and st mk still being really bad is a little sad
Personally I think she is bottom 1 now for sure, but maybe it's too early to tell idk
@Macimaru_
There is so much stuff that needs to be fixed where even I don't know what I want at this point lol
Walk speed, normals, specials, all bad by compared to others imo
@Nozar8800
@GGHalibel
For sure, can't let my Manon bros down!
As for offline events I'm looking to go to a couple at after February, don't know which ones yet.
@SoundestOfBois
I have parry on L1 and lk+mk on L2, other than that I keep everything the same with no DI bind
Parry on L1 allows me to parry really quickly, the downside is that I find it hard to do raw drive rush
I hold my controller like this for easy access to all buttons, but I use dpad
@Hurricane_FGC
I will be going to offline events starting around the end of February/early March, I have never played offline otherwise because I didn't exactly know how
I also played SFV, if you want my username there you can check my games in that game as well
@SoundestOfBois
@IanMcTetly
Unfortunately said black magic hasn't been translated into decipherable words for other people yet (as in I can't really describe what or why I do it, I just do what feels natural and react accordingly)😅
I learned a lot from Idom, it's far more clear and obvious what he does!
@Louffy086
I agree
It really feels like they made her weak on purpose due to the medals, but in doing so, made her not viable against very skilled opponents or people who know her gimmicks
No reason to play her, when characters like Marisa have a better guessing game with better rewards
@MALDOMINANTPC
@Youridefou
"I have an exam tomorrow and I'm learning right now and I just can't get it in my head, I don't get it and I have two different socks on and I don't know what to do with my life, I hate school"
Literally me before having to play Dhalsim, Chun Li or Guile
@Macimaru_
Level 3 buff is great but not enough and that could've happened 10 months ago, at this point I'm hoping for an emergency buff in a couple of weeks 😭
@centuripeFGC
It's about predicting what your opponent is going to do + reacting to it depending on the situation
A cross up is really easy for example, because 90% of the time it hits at the same spot for all characters
I don't really train for it, my reactions + reads carry me
@nate_pingel
That's alright, but it depends on how much pushback she has on hit
It would work like JPs cr. Mk, but JP has basically no pushback on that normal which is why it works
@Tokokotier
Not necessarily, with drive reversal now being -6 it means that she won't be able to punish some of them with command grab from some ranges anymore (especially if someone's drive reversal has a lot of pushback)
That's the primary reason I wanted a 6 frame medium now.
@centuripeFGC
I tried un ironically drive reversaling him, by pushing him to the side from time to time
Mf still kept doing it to me and his other neighbor 🤨
@boukenjima_
@Hurricane_FGC
I have never played offline, until 5 months ago I didn't even know the German offline scene existed, I just though it was all streamers or travelers
@SoundestOfBois
Yes, specifically the anti air (qcf. KK) I can do it really quickly this way
Helps a lot against characters with dive kicks like Cammy if you have good reactions, but in general it's a very good!
DI bind isn't really necessary because of the way I hold the controller
@JRMeadows402
It's not very good, the biggest reason is the drive management, you have to spend 2 bars to drive reversal stuff on a character that is already very drive meter hungry
@Macimaru_
It's alright, but there is an adjustment period of a couple of weeks.
The primary reason why I got it, is because it's wired and compatible with PS5 and PC right out of the box.
I still prefer the Dualshock 3 or 4, but they're not compatible without converters unfortunately.
