ofc! thank you! note that the fd vacuum effect is gone so getting the meterless fuzzy on backturn 842 (the high that looks like a low) is only possible with no FD now.

@@Shareezz troll?

@@me_lolo no, just a guy very upset for spending 20 hours in training over a video with combos that are either not working or not humanely possible to input.

@@me_lolo Tried with a "macro", still not inputable by humans.

@@Shareezzskill issue

the only way to get a loop off of this meterlessly is to do a microdelay bwa on the 2h into 2s kdandy p (then end with cs 2s/2h pdandy p depending on what side you want them on)

@@me_lolo bwa?

yeah of course that’s fine, this is more to highlight people that intentionally engage in this behavior

indeed does this highlight the glaring issues with the system. alas, the redesign with need and deserve will never arrive before the sun sets on this game, I fear…

yes. what the game allows is not pertinent to what is and isn’t smurfing (otherwise why stop at floor 10?)

@@me_lolo I guess I think of smurfing as an alternate account for the sole purpose of destroying less skilled players, but if your definition is just targeting less skilled players then I guess it applies

I agree

it’s on a new website, the link in the description. if it still isn’t working on that one then you should probably head to their discord and ask about it

It's called Puddle Farm now if you want to access it

very true about the axl, yeah. and it is a good example of the system being finicky around certain changes as you mentioned. transitioning to a proper ranked system does indeed have that trade off of giving a sense of stake which does stress a lot of people out, but overall I think it would be a much better experience. and yeah, disabling on RU is definitely the way to go if you don’t wanna bother thinking about it and I’m glad they have that option! to join you in your dissent, I’d also say that the population probably isn’t high enough to healthily sustain the top echelons of a proper ranked system and it’s especially important to consider that one way sf manages this is by having the player count to not have to match people with 100+ ping in ranked, but in strive as a west coaster that’s 90%+ of my games! I still think it would be for the best, though

then explain what happened to the other 94 mechs

@@me_lolo we don't talk about that...

let’s hope one day we do get a good ranked system… I would ask, though, do you fit into the category of someone that is substantially better than floor 10 players? if so, is it really that much of a hassle to do the celestial challenge? are you farming people in floor 10 with 80-90% win rates on floor 10? it’s more meant to call out a small subset of players intentionally engaging in this behavior, even if you are casual or don’t have that much time to play. if you fall into that very specific category then you’d still be doing decent in celestial anyway without spending any significant additional time getting there, you just wouldn’t be at a 90% wr stomping learners. that’s kind of what I was trying to get at, not that there is absolutely no defensible way to ever play in floor 10 under any circumstances

@@me_lolo I'm not better than floor 10 player. Everyday I also find people who have completed celestial challange play on that floor. I usually play against these people and I don't win everytime

@@Mech.95 but lord mech, I would probably say that by definition you're better than floor 10 players. I'm not sure what region you're in so it could be that your celestial tower is just super unpopulated, but it seems to me going through the match history that at most, being incredibly generous, 20% of the people you run into are celestial and not floor 10 players. In reality it seems more like 90% of the people are floor 10 players, but I can't go through hundreds of games - I just looked at the last 30 or so. since your win rate is 90%+ and the substantial majority of your opponents are true floor 10 players, then respectfully how is it not the case that you're better than floor 10 players? im just curious why you don't play on celestial all the time, it's not necessarily about needing to be trying your absolute hardest, it's just about smurfing being a bad experience for actual players of that level of play. and besides mech95, with the other 94 mechs assimilated into you and with your 90% win rate, I'm sure you'd enjoy celestial as much or more since you'd be cooking there too, most likely. it's better practice, too - more enjoyable than beating up on learners. of course I don't mean to insult you personally, I don't wanna come across that way. thank you very much for engaging with me on this!

​@@me_lolo I didn't say that I only play against celestial player, but that I also play against them (I don't understand why complete celestial challange if you don't want to play on that floor. But this doesn't concerne me. They can play where they want, I don't care). Other people are floor 10 player, but their skills are similiar to me (not everyone of course). I played a lot of matches that were very close. Yes, I won the most, but it wasn't easy to me. If they don't want to play against me, they can block me or refuse to accept match request. There are a lot of player you can play with. I'm not the only one there. I don't play on celestial floor because I know my skills and I'm sure I could lose the most of the matches. In any case where I want to play is my business. How I said in my first comment, I play just to have fun. P.S. the 95 in my nickname stands for my year of birth. I don't use it because there were other people with this nickname. In italy we can shorten the years of 1900 with the last 2 numbers. I don't know if there are other country that can do it too

@@Mech.95 it's interesting you mention the last 2 digits thing, my dad is also italian and uses the same thing (his birth year) for some usernames and stuff.

I just play in park and against friends and such. It does me just fine

there’s a difference between this and having 500 games in floor 10 with a 90%+ winrate. if you’ve never managed to succeed in the celestial challenge then respectfully you’re not what I’d consider to be significantly better than floor 10 players and there’s hence no problem. kind of generalizes the specific archetype of player I defined in a way that isn’t consistent with what I was saying

@@davidsphere43 yeah tower kinda sucks unless you really want celestial. I don't have fun playing tower unless I'm trying to grind and improve my overall strategy. it really doesn't help with character specific things like matchups and it doesn't give real immediate feedback like talking to someone about the match would. plus forced best of 3 kinda sucks.

I’m extraordinarily confident that replay channels use RU to scout who to show. the point on that was just to outline one potential issue and not to say this is what’s actively happening en masse. maybe I didn’t get my ideas across clearly enough. the main point is to just identity that this is happening and that it’s interesting and odd that it’s as prevalent as it is. as someone with lots of results I could give 2 shits if floor 10 ky has 10 more points than I do. would you take the same stance if the top 10 of every character were entirely such players and replays started to consist of them playing against each other on floor 10? what if those players consisted of the entire top 100 on every character? the point isn’t to be offended that mech95 has a couple more unearned points than I do, the point is that it’s cringe behavior and it’s odd how widespread it is. in cases of smurfing, again that’s very clearly a thing deserving of criticism. the point was not that they’re taking over the replay channels or ruining the greatly integral ranked leaderboard that is RU (sarcasm).

@@me_lolo Well hey, heres a quote from the description of "GGST: High Level Gameplay" channel: "After the data reset, the ranking has not yet formed properly. Players farming ELO on 10th floor will be ignored." This is from weeks ago. So unless you informed them, seems they were already aware and theres nothing to worry about lol.

@@ZaltZalt-cz1mh oh that’s great

indeed, nor doing it on every character

LMAO

​@@me_lolo pin this comment bro lmfaoo

very true, there are tradeoffs and such

this is definitely the case for a significant majority of tournament players at the very least

I'm also west coast... it is unfortunate that the celestial playerbase is nonexistent, but it seems all the west coast (and central) players go on east coast tower anyway

yea just play east coast if you have a wired connection, you'll honestly rarely run into a bad connection, I havent played west coast in forever because the only time its populated is the week after an update

so kara mappa is definitely the easiest, so it’s fairly expected that if you have trouble then it would be with the other karas. because the input is harder, most likely you are not doing the kara p dandy at the same timing even though your brain can fool you into it. getting jump just means you were a little too slow, with respect to bite (and of course make sure you pressed dash in neutral/forward and then up + h as sometimes I’d forget the h and get a jump). as long as you’re following a method like on the video and right thumb gaming it’s just a matter of practice. it’s still a very tight input in terms of time to do it but the layout makes it easier to input faster. overall, you’ve just gotta fiddle with it til you find the timing once then practice that timing, sorry if that’s not too helpful

@@me_lolo no that's perfect and has opened my eyes a bit I'm streaming my labbing so I can study my hand movements. But I've been actively using my right thumb, granted this is my 2nd day with my leverless so I'm pretty happy with my results already 😅

this is also how my friend does it (he’s a pot player)

they’ve hijacked that word sadly

the most translatable thing from this video is probably to use spacebar for up instead of w and then just trying to replicate it, aside from that I'm not sure

@@me_lolo I tried to do so when learning BDC in Xrd, but it really messes up with my muscle memory. Also my keyboard seems to have ghosting issues, lol, guess the only way out is brute force it... or stop caring since I play casually lol

@@me_lolo Also thanks for the vids, they are very insightful! I had some trouble reajusting to GGST Slayer after playing the Xrd one, and your vids really helped me to get in him and in the game overall

delu

are you on a box style controller? or extra buttons like pws controllers for parry and di and such?

It’s a lot easier to do on analog or on fightstick, but honestly I think it’s impossible to do on pad. One of the few times where controller type actually matters, unfortunately.

slash plays on analog and is very consistent!

LMAO

unfortunately I don’t have any advice beyond practice for that one

Why not just combo off the command grab if you are going to spend 50?

@mattsheehan3604 the reset, if you hit the overhead/low does a crap ton more damage, and the command grab scales your damage really hard if you rc and combo after, so you can drop it on purpose for a huge reward
