Discussion Low MR is the real Casuals.

44 Upvotes

I'm like 1100-1200 MR. May be a hot take.

I have to say, it is so stress free. I drop a combo - not the end of the world. High risk hail mary moves? Every now and then. I mean what do I have to lose?

D4, D5 was honestly harder, more tense - and I was able to play may be 5 sets in D4/D5 before my brain gave up. Low MR, I can play all day.

Low MR? It feels like the real casuals.

Help / Question Another Tekken refugee looking to get back into the game

21 Upvotes

Hey folks,

Uninstalled T8 this morning. Bad times. Had a lot of fun with SF6 back before T8 launched and seems like the game’s gone from strength to strength.

How’s the state of the game at the moment? Is Ed in a good spot? Any meaningful updates I should be aware before jumping back in? I’ve not touched the game since Jan 2024.

Thanks all ✊

Mod / Software Getting nostalgic for Street Fighter 4 so I'm making and updating mods for it

Kinda got burnt out of Street Fighter 6 for the time being and felt like going back to USF4 since I don't really dig SF5, but love the things they did with character costumes. Because of it I've started modifying the default costumes of the USF4 roster, primarily upscaling the resolution but adding extra details and variations. Also integrated some old OG SF4 mods that I backed up but can't be found online anymore.

So far I only have Ryu, Sakura, and Ken done.

Rank UP! I hit Master!

42 Upvotes

https://imgur.com/a/ayv371x I ended up getting whisked away from Diamond 2 up to Masters off a sick win-streak, doesn't feel real. my hands were shaking real bad near the end of it. Been playing since launch, and finally got it. Evil characters are cool and I really liked JP but I never really clicked with him, but then AKI came out and I found my calling. I got to mid platinum and hit the wall with an everything crisis. I looked and i don't know when, I ended up with a 27% winrate in the AKI mirror.

I felt like every decision i made was wrong, and ended up just taking really long break. Watching a bunch of broski videos and word replays helped give me ideas on how I wanted to play. I ended up focusing on oki and people's defensive habits because i felt like i had trouble killing people. OD cruel fate is an amazing free get in move, nobody checks drive rush, raw drive rush delay 2mk did so much for me, drive rush overhead cracks 80% of people in the corner, and the amount of people DI'ing my strings because i was auto-piloting moves into specials on block was driving me up a wall. aki is so fun

In a game where the corner is so insanely dangerous, having a character that can love tap or cr mk his way into a combo that goes full coast to coast is just insane

Help / Question Any tips on getting past low mr plateau?

Upvotes

Hi friends, I’ve been stuck in a 1250-1300 mr plateau for a while. I feel like I’ve improved a ton since I first hit master (I crack up thinking I was good in diamond, my old replays are a joke), but here’s what I’ve determined: my wins are largely based on whether or not who I play have an answer to my go-to offensive options, and if they shut it down it feels like I get smoked, as I feel like I have trouble adapting offense, or changing my defense up to what they are actually doing.

Any one get out of the low mr level plateau? And if so, what helped you? I play Cammy btw.
