this is how fast rematch is in SF6. devs, please stop making us watch fadeouts, forced outros, doing stuff like artificially delaying the menu popping up, etc. I want to rematch literally as fast as I can hit the button after the KO

SF6 at Evo was probably the best top 8 I've seen for any game ever. This is the benefit of developing difficult and complex system mechanics and then asking the players to perform under pressure. It's a good lesson for everybody in charge of FG design both present and future.

the worst lie SF players perpetuate is "SF has traditionally been a game focused on grounded footsies and whiff punishing". it exists as one small aspect of those games and nothing more. every SF game has gross set play, full screen safe on block moves, powerful jumps, and more

i'm still very upset at how they handled outfit 1 colors in SF6. watching the game (especially tournaments) is boring, since everyone picks colors 1-2. individuality is lost. using drive tickets to unlock them will take *years*. something drastic needs to change here.

FG fans do not "blindly believe" in rollback as if it's magic. It is a concept that is easy to explain, even for non-programmers, and my article () & other sources bridge that gap for anyone interested. Then, people play a rollback game and see the value.

In SF6 you can combo into DI to strip one bar of drive from your opponent and force meaty block strings for huge drive loss. It will make sense to do this (over a damaging combo) fairly often and will solidify the fact that drive gauge is as important as a second health bar.

If you are in SF6's training mode and want to quit, pause the game and hit L1+R1 (HP + 3P button on most sticks). This will immediately highlight the "quit training" option no matter what menu you're buried in, so you don't have to scramble around looking for it.

SF6 is a super high power level game, and also the first version. There's bound to be balance decisions you disagree with (and each person will have a different list). However, no matter what they change in the future, you will have to make peace with the power level.

I hear people often say they dislike guessing or 50/50s in fighting games, but the reality is virtually every interaction in a fighting game was a guess itself, or the result of your opponent's guess. Guessing is baked into the very fabric of the genre; you cannot escape it.

to go further, I'm really starting to dislike "neutral skip" as a term, as if a person doing a move from outside your crMK range is somehow skipping the entire point of playing. If you can't stop moves like that, then *you* aren't playing neutral well and deserve to lose

I use this gif in my rollback blog post. I still don't understand how it's possible (rollback can only ever skip startup of moves, it should never predict a move to happen, then undo it completely). My only guess is there's a bug with copying "hold" inputs to the next frame.

When you spectate people playing a long set at a cabinet in SF6, it randomly loads a new stage each match, even though the two players have rematched and are playing on the same stage as before on their own screens. This plus a new random theme each match helps variety a ton.

this GBVS proxy OS thing is probably the most broken neutral OS i've seen in any popular FG ever made i've heard some people say "modern games aren't really broken/buggy anymore" and i hope this serves as a reminder: making FGs, even simple ones, is incredibly, monumentally hard

I'm still a pretty big fan of what drive impact does to SF6's neutral. Forces you to really own your space, overloads the mental stack which makes everything else much more difficult and exciting. It can't be any slower or more expensive or it would be a mostly worthless move.

online tournaments are difficult even at the best of times. dealing with friend invites, lobbies, and shaky internet is tough. this is why FG game devs MUST implement good rollback, to handle 99% of cases the best way we know how. it is not an option or nice-to-have anymore.

One thing that pushed me through the soul-crushing amount of work needed to make was the fact that, once I finished, it would just... exist forever as a resource for the FGC. I hope it's helpful enough that soon, people will not remember a time without it.

btw if you want to know how to make a "high execution" game without any one thing being insanely hard, this is how you overwhelm the brain with tons of doable tasks and give 0.5 seconds to do each one on demand KI was like this and it was a big part of why it was so fun

It might just be because it's my day 1 but the mental stack of SF6 is absolutely insane. There's like a half dozen things you have to be ready for at all times which are all "reactable" and have different counters lmao

i think this is a symptom of how overly romanticized footsies is by some in the fgc, as if it's the only sexy, exciting, or valid skill in a match. footsies is cool in context of many other skills, not just by itself also, i find most people who say this have the worst footsies

i don't think beginners gain much by playing a FG with a supposed focus on neutral (lowering combos, setplay, etc). 1) beginners don't setplay/out-combo other beginners and 2) they'll still have no idea why they're losing against better players, except now it's more frustrating

Getting maximum bond requires 100 bond points, and you get 5 for gifting their favorite item (and more along the way). So you'll need probably about ~15 of these items bought at a shop. Fighting with the char earns style points which isn't related to the bond, so can avoid that.

To unlock the 2nd costumes for each fighter in SF6 (without spending money) you need to reach the maximum bond level with that specific character in WT. In my 18 hour run, I only managed to do that with ONE character, Ryu. It's gonna take ages if you want everyone's alt. (1/2)

SFxT has some fantastic ideas that were deservedly sunk by several awful design choices: - gems (badly balanced, pay to win, no UI for tournaments, a severely half-baked idea) - awful game pace choices (walk speed, block stop/push back on normals) - on disc DLC - ugly as sin

it seems they are talking about GG gameplay not working with rollback here and not codebase (since they specifically reference SF) but GG chars holding pose for so many frames makes it ideal for rollback. and faster games (KI, skullgirls) do just fine, so it's not about pace

you can name me any SF title and i can find you dozens of clips where the game just looks incredibly silly. touch of death setups, unblockables, infinites, full screen safe untouchable moves that can win the game instantly. don't be fooled by people who think the games are fair.

watching pros do hard, cool combos I wanted to learn to do was a big reason I got into FGs. I'm sure it still is for some people, but I feel a lot of casuals have lost this and only focus on not being an expert in the first 10 seconds of playing, and it's a bit puzzling

Let's examine an example of SF6's difficult combo routing. You're black Ryu (gauges on 1P). You've been playing stressful ground game, watching for anti-air and DI, and you jump over DI and have 20 frames to decide a punish to kill 2P Ryu. What's your combo choice here?

to go even further further, when a large number of characters have threats from many positions on the screen, you end up with way more fun archetypes and player personalities, and give more chances for skill to shine through we shouldn't even *want* to remove "neutral skips"

the outfit 1 colors need to be unlocked in world tour, or they need to give you 7000 drive tickets per week so at least you can get the colors in months instead of years, or it needs to cost only 500 tickets for a char's full set (again, one set per week)... or *something*

the best part about watching marvel is just how fast rematching is, you can be back in the next match in under 1 second i wish that was a priority of modern devs. many modern games force unskippable win screens and load times on you and it's unbearable as a player AND spectator

I'm all for helping new players (all the work I put into should prove this), but it should not be done at the expense of difficult in-game decision making. We can bring in newcomers in many ways; don't sacrifice the game system to do it.

I've been working on a new FGC project for the last 8 months. I'm not ready to share what it is yet, although it's not a guide for a new game. If all goes well, I hope to share it with you all sometime in May. It's been a huge amount of work but I hope people will find it useful.

I think the best way to make a fighting game deep is not just to have a bunch of options for your characters to do, but to make the value of succeeding with them fuzzy and hard to know in real time. This feeds player creativity and exciting "I've never seen that before" moments.

the insistence in some circles that footsies is the holy grail of FGs has done a big disservice to the genre. movement, decision making under pressure, pattern recognition, conditioning, execution, risk assessment... each of these things is equally important in a player's toolkit
