I've noticed that recent fighting games are having a paradigm shift toward "aggression mechanics"; SF6's Drive Rush, Strive's Wild Assault, Granblue Rising's Raging Chain, even Tekken 8's new Heat system. We're moving past the age of footsies and neutral, and into an age of unga.
Somehow swung a top 8 at tns. There are still a lot of holes in my games but its reassuring to know what I'm capable if I improve my skill and consistency. To everyone I played- ggs that was me

Is this steak well done? It was in for 8 minutes, pan was preheated, steak was brought to room temperature beforehand, and it was also -- let me move my camera -- it was also basted.

. Much better than I expected, but somehow also disappointed. Ran into my old friend - doing really well in winners then losing twice in a row.
From now on, only losers runs.
Finally back from Combo Breaker and want to collect some thoughts before my bed calls to me. It was my first major, kind of (went to Summer Jam for MKX in 2015 but my controller borked and i couldnt play). The event is phenomenal as a hub for all fighting game culture I can't
Forgot to practice ryu all week, so I figured I'd play bison all day at my local monthly and take the Ls. Ended up taking 2nd with him. The path of the warrior was not paved for me. Chaos reigns.
I found the problem. This has been laying around my apartment since March, unremembered. This is when all the dhalsim started.
Burning it and freeing myself of this curse today.

I had a conversation with him yesterday about Megaman battle network and chain of memories, and it reminded me these fake text messages I posted on his socials.
Because of the change of OD donkey kick scaling, OD Donkey kick >> full charge level 2 deals more damage than a drive rush combo into partial charge level 2

OD Donkey Kick used to count as two hits of damage scaling. The damage scaling has been reduced now (the follow up DP would have had 70% damage scaling applied before)

Fun fact: at the start of the Akuma trailer, Akuma immediately skips neutral to a stranger and DPs without provocation. This is a reference to all of the Ken mains that will be switching to him

Just saw the thread. That guy has a history of doing that stuff in Toronto FGC groups. Accuses strangers of talking about his family and then blocking their entire circle.

Out at 5th at red bull Canada east. I feel like my best tournament results are from me accidenting into wins. Maybe that's just how fighting games work though. Ggs all
I was playing street fighter world tour on my keyboard and hitbox came and removed my keycaps. Don't do the crime. I'm typing this tweet on a sanwa stick
Alongside Akuma's release there will be a huge Balance Patch! Here are some of the changes I was shown, not all of them may be in the final build.
💥A.K.I.: QCB K cancels to SA3/CA
LP Serpent Lash gives (better) combos after punish counter
💥Honda: st MP -> df HK Can cancel to
I was teaching a new player something this weekend and I told them to press low forward. They pressed a punch button. Every boomer joke about autocorrect and pronouns clicked in that moment.
My favourite part of player cams during tournaments is that you can see someone's face when their drive rush gets checked. They actually look kind of happy.
I've recently learned that gief hatred is very real, so I want to clarify that this tweet was made in jest. It was inappropriate of me to make fun of such a sensitive topic
Fighting games, the associated subcultures, and the people who obsess over them are great and I'm lucky to be able to interact with any of you in-game and out. If we played this weekend and I won, ggs. If you won, you got lucky.
Had someone ragequit on me so of course I look up their username. I found them using their platform to spread awareness to many great causes. Come on man, are you evil or not?

With time and conversations with folks wiser than I am, I've realized that any victories are a miracle, placements don't really matter as long as I learn from the experience and enjoy the process, and a younger me would be proud of current me. Thank you to my friends and
Last notes:
I wish I took pictures with all the new folks I've met. That's another lesson learned for the next major.
Deep dish is wack. Shake shack is top tier.
Galloping ghost in Chicago is a cultural staple and I hope to visit every year. Degenning bizarre shooters and
Placed 33rd in SF6. I didnt have any strict expectations for placement going into the weekend, but as the days went on I fixated on making top 24. It hurt my ego when i got clobberbonked in round 3. It felt like I couldn't hang with the big fish, and I struggled to reconcile my
Ended up 25th at midwest CPT. I let tournament anxiety control me through all of winners, but I'm happy with how I played in losers. GGs to all associated parties
Had the pleasure of meeting lots of people, some of whom I've interacted with online and some completely fresh. The warmth that each member of this community exudes never fails to shock me. I'm typically a reserved and anxious person and I assume that people don't really want to
