>positive winrates only with gimmick characters
you'll never progress without fundamentals

If you want my honest thoughts.
Anything before master rank is legitimately a tutorial. Even in master rank there are A LOT of players who are essentially new to fighting games and are largely just mashing.
You should stop playing sf6 before you get too invested and waste too much time on it. It's a legitimately awful game and you will come to despise it if you ever reach a level where you actually understand the game.

>>737624630
Nah, he can. It's sf6. Every character in the game is optimally played in a "braindead" way. There isn't a single "honest' or "fundamental" character in the game.

>>737622470
forced w/l ratio matchmaking is a joke
crazy how there's still people that spend so much time on these hamster wheels

i'm having fun though

>>737625065
Then keep going bro. Just telling you, once you start hating the game just cut it out cold turkey. There's no light at the end of the tunnel with that piece of shit.

the one guy who never stops seething about sf6 has arrived

>>737625149
i tried playing "properly" and wasn't having much fun, i'm just throwing out stupid shit now and having a blast
i don't think i'll ever take this game seriously and reach a rank where it becomes miserable to play
it seems difficult for the fgc to understand the concept of a casual retard who likes pressing buttons and doesn't care about optimization

>>737625185
While that is me, I don't ever really post about it. Such is my hatred for the game that I usually just ignore the threads entirely. Good to know there are people out there fighting the good fight, though.

>>737625065
good for you then, I'm just saying what it is if you ever get bored of not progressing

you have to stop playing now capcum (i made that name up, pretty funny right) are evil dei who make party mashers for casuals

the slime rush bro

slime

if you play this game you are supporting evil anti white anti male propaganda and allowing casuals to take over the white mans genre. you must stop now

>>737625339
i never use drive rush though, shit's retarded, i'd rather just be suboptimal

>>737625234
>i tried playing "properly" and wasn't having much fun
there is always friction when you try something different because your brain hasn't built muscle memory yet for this configuration, but once it works its very rewarding.

>>737625384
i don't mind the difficulty of playing with grounded fundamentals, it was just repetitive, boring
doing random shit and seeing what works is way more fun

>>737624746
yeah they built the new matchmaking around retention by making you feel good about climbing all the way to master when it's the equivalent (in the bottom ranking) of being plat at best in sf5

>>737625481
>feeling good and improving is bad

>>737625436
>it was just repetitive, boring
you have a misunderstanding of what fundamental means, this isnt about doing the same shit over and over, it's about using the best tools for a specific situation rather than playing a mindless casino.

>>737622470
ranks are weirdly inflated in this game but i don't mind that much. it probably keeps people playing for longer if there if there is a constant sense of "progression", and its not that serious. i'm someone that unironically liked GGST tower because it kept things kinda broad, though admittedly the top guys could have done with their own master ladder beyond celestial.
i got into diamond just from picking up bison, spamming foot press and doing his combos - yet i could still lose to any random silver guy just mashing.

oh i just caught up with the thread and yeah basically this >>737625481

>>737625481
isn't this unimportant though
let the 1300 casuals be delusional, real players will only care about the opinions of 1700+ players
the only way this could be a problem is if the devs balance the game around the complaints of low ranks, but that seems to have already happened with the existence of the entire drive system

>>737625507
you're not improving in sf6 you bronze trash, the game is literally tricking you into thinking you are by giving more points than you lose below master

>>737625585
if you're losing to a silver rank who's mashing thats completely on you

>>737625557
>it's about using the best tools for a specific situation
that's what i found boring, i don't respect video games

>>737625641
right.

>>737625619
this is peak scrubquote kek, is everyone here a secondary? none of the people except op here actually seem to play fighting games

>>737625681
this is a technical fact you tranny, you'd know if you played the game and sf5. But I'm sure I went from super diamond in after thousands of hours in sf5, to master in sf6 after dozens of hours with a completely different character because I'm that fucking good

>>737625681
He's not wrong, if you played the game you'd know. If you grind ranked in sf6 you will reach master. It's just a matter of time. You can get to master with a VERY bad winrate %.

>>737625667
i get what you're coming from but when I do this I do it in games that are designed for style over substance. Doing it in a rigid game like street fighter sounds like a bore.

>>737626456
>designed for style over substance
like dragon ball fighting games, forgot to mention

>>737625867
why did you call me a tranny i don't get it

>>737626456
i play sf6 because the high playercount means short queue times, other fighting games are dead
