man this game is so frustrating....
why do you have priority over everything, am I so predictable you can just press something and you'll know it will hit?
Man doing damage feels like a game of luck not skill
sorry for the short set

>>1739443
ggs
>am I so predictable you can just press something and you'll know it will hit?
honestly by now, yes. not because i know what exact move you will use, but rather because all i need to know is you are going to press something in the first place. like for example today i could tell you didn't want to block anything on the ground, and there were no tech rolls away from the corner either so on every wakeup i knew i could use a 2A (which lasts forever) to catch literally anything you tried to do, besides invincible reversals
same with airtechs, i know most of the time you will try to airtech ASAP. i don't even know whether you'll block or attack, but all i need to know is that you will airtech because now i can just throw out a j5A and it will start an air blockstring or a combo, no matter what you do

you aren't even doing badly when it comes to landing the first hit, but the problem is that once i hit you instead it quickly snowballs into an entire round

>>1739466
>you aren't even doing badly when it comes to landing the first hit, but the problem is that once i hit you instead it quickly snowballs into an entire round
yes, this is a huge problem for me, I don't really know what to do
for the other stuff, I try anything and everything I can besides blocking because I don't want to turn the game into a 15 min one side match of me just blocking and losing guards for nothing, and BE'ing or flying or whatever will not do anything so I rather mash because it's the only thing that has saved me before

>>1739480
yeah but not blocking anything at all is essentially the same as fast-forwarding through pressure just to get straight into the part where you get punished for defending poorly. mashing or jumping out of pressure has its uses but if i know it is going to happen every single time then i know there is no drawback at all if i just throw out a long lingering move since it will hit you no matter what

plus, knowing how to defend is useful to play around your opponents defense as well. this is probably the most basic example imaginable, but for example if you block Reimu 2A, you already know the most natural follow up is 6A which hits high. and not only that, but most follow ups after 6A are bullets exclusively. so if you BE my 6A you will graze out of all of that. and now when you see a 2A you can use it as a cue to get ready to block high and input 2DD immediately

obviously i have ways to play around that as well, it's not like BE out of 6A is unbeatable, but most of the choices you have to take follow the same logic. you just have to get used to that decision making first and then it's just a matter of adapting it to different moves/escape routes

was that diamond dust setup intended or did I play myself there

ggs, sorry for the delay but something came uo so i have to leave
thanks for hosting
>>1757521
also no that was completely unintentional, lucky mistake

>>1757521
also GGs

>>1757521
just to be sure, you are talking about that random Dragon Meteor oki right?
the window to confirm the last hit of dial A into Dragon Meteor is much tighter than i thought, so after i landed that last hit I reacted too slowly and ended up whiffing. i guess diamond dust messed up your techroll after that, because i was fully expecting to get punished for that mistake

>>1757546
Yeah. I intended to tech roll out but didn't notice the weather until it was too late. I was thinking maybe that was a high IQ read

>>1757550
i mean i sometimes fish for those kinds of mistakes, it's a free cross-up against people who don't pay much attention to the weather, but i definitely don't force diamond dust just for that. it's too much of a double edged sword to force it just to fish for a gimmicky blunder like that. and this time i hadn't even considered that would happen

New soku soon

>>1761296
My only complain is the graphics, looks too "cute"

>>1761540
i mean it's not too unlike floatan artstyle
i just hope it has an interesting roster rather than merely IaMP 4.0

>>1762311
The floatan artstyle looks good like soku, there's something lacking in this new game that makes the characters too innocent, like a placeholder, like they are not going to beat each other for fun

thanks for hosting

soku?

>>1770589
I've been focusing on it lately. I'm still not entirely sure how to go about the midscreen and especially the air to air situations but at least the corner stuff is starting to make some sense to me.

>>1761296
thanks for informing me about this, it looks very promising
i disagree with the other guy, i think the cute artstyle is very appealing, i also like the one screenshot of yukari reaching forward with a barrier for a little hand slap, meaning a novel moveset different from soku

i have to say though, at least from the given descriptions, the game looks VERY soku inspired to the point that i wouldnt be surprised if the dev is someone from hisouten or some other soku community
>No more hassles like port-forwarding and installing mods. Take the fight online with friends comfortably and easily, while enjoying the advantages of smooth rollback netcode.
>Customize your supers, specials, and system cards with this beloved deck building system only seen in older Touhou fighting game entries.
>With less randomness and more ways to control the weather, harness the chaos to gain an edge over your opponent.

it LOOKS and SOUNDS really nice and the dev seems to have a good understanding of the soku experience, but im a bit skeptic of the "Planned Release Date: 2025" and lack of many screenshots/recordings of gameplay and characters
making a soku 2.0 is really ambitious and unless the dev has a big team and put in a lot of time and also spent some time balancing things, im doubting it'll either actually come out this year, come out with a lot of characters and card variety, or come out with all those things but also balanced

im rooting for it though, i want it to be good

>>1773105
>im doubting it'll either actually come out this year, come out with a lot of characters and card variety, or come out with all those things but also balanced
probably the latter will get sacrificed, it's not rare for small fighting games to be an utter mess balance-wise at launch and then use player feedback to actually balance the game. unless the devs are also soku superplayers, chances are they will miss stuff that the more experienced people in the playerbase will abuse, there's not much you can do about that if you are just working with a small team

>>1773536
it makes me think of soku2 a bit, in case people dont know it's a (pretty fun) soku mod that adds a bunch of characters complete with everything you'd expect: sprites and animations, netplayable, their own skills and spells (mostly based on existing characters though), even their own win screen dialogue, card descriptions, illustrations for character select and win screens

>unless the devs are also soku superplayers
soku2 is an example where that actually is the case, fear nagae is one of the strongest and most experienced players of the game, also has people like freudia, pinkysmile iirc
so it's not impossible or unprecedented for soku community members to work on soku adjacent stuff, but when i think of soku2: it's been worked on for years to get to where it is, 13 characters, mostly based on existing characters in many ways (movement, sound effects, skills, spell cards), uses soku's game mechanics rather than making a whole new game, uses existing soku mod infrastructure and rollback netplay, some things still arent finished yet

(also unfortunately its kind of rare to see people even playing soku2 even though it's easy to set up and works with existing mods and is pretty fun imo)

it really puts things into perspective for me and unless the dream duel devs are also strong experienced soku players and have put in years of work into this project already, i just cant see how they'd realistically make something with close to 13 characters, all new novel movesets like that yukari barrier slap, all new art assets, balanced, and yet still coming out this year and NOT heavily copying most things directly from soku
id love to see them prove me wrong though

>>1773105
I think the faces need some rework, they look like they are gazing at nothing, 1000 yard stare stuff.
Soku's girls look like they like to beat up people for fun.

wft happened here, why did this ball not hit you?

>>1792842
ggs, i see you've figured out how to BE effectively. just a few things i should add, BEing out of spammy 4A/2A strings is usually not worth it unless you have a REALLY good read on when i'll be going for the mixup. otherwise it'll just get caught by the next 4A. also it's good to mix up BE points even if you find a consistent one. you probably noticed against Yukari that BEing out of 2C is pretty easy, but once i notice that i will catch it with pinwheel, which you could normally punish if you block it instead
also
>why did this ball not hit you?
i have no clue, i thought it was because of bullets clashing but apparently Iku 5C is just a higher tier so it should have moved past my laser with no problems. i might look more into it later

>>1792882
Thanks

>>1792905
alright i'm not sure, but after seeing this page:
https://hisouten.koumakan.jp/wiki/Projectiles#Density
apparently that one ball has the tendency to lose hits when it clashes against a stronger bullet. little issue is, my laser should not be a stronger bullet since it's a lower tier bullet. BUT also lasers tend to have infinite hp, according to that same page
testing it out will probably be annoying but if i had to guess, my laser just ate the hits of a higher tier bullet because tasofraud. i.e. just some accidental bullshit

btw, check out this absolutely useless combo I found

GGs, I think I got brain damage from playing 30 matches in a row

>>1807117
ggs, gotta go now
that combo in >>1806477 doesn't seem that useless, especially if you can combo the dp off an air unblockable. Reimu j5A into itself is stupidly good for corner-carrying anyone that's caught air blocking pretty much anywhere on the screen, so you could realistically set up into that
also Patchy f5A fire rings have to be the best, most interactive example of why air teching is not good in this game

>>1807123
Well my execution is really sloppy, I don't think I ever corner-carried anyone on purpose.
Things like that or Sakuya j5a juggling are a complete mystery to me, how does everyone do this shit? Do you have to practice it in a specific way or is it just a "git gud" type of thing?

>>1807155
>how does everyone do this shit?
rejumps in general are not too hard and worth learning because they are always useful regardless of hit or block, it's just an easy way to extend damage even during combos
corner carry is really nothing too complicated, it's just the same thing but against an opponent that's blocking. the only tricky part with Reimu as far as i can tell is that whether you want to follow up the rising j5A with j5C or j2C depends entirely on how far above the opponent is, which you'll just have to eyeball and react to. that's just something you learn by trying it over and over again in matches, j2C seems to work more often than not though
>Do you have to practice it in a specific way or is it just a "git gud" type of thing?
if you want to test it out you can set the dummy to jump block on rollcaster
ignore the weird frameskips in that webm, apparently IaMP doesn't like being recorded on my machine

>>1807602
Holy shit I'm retarded, I was trying to j5a > land > j5a and thought this was some kind of advanced hard to execute technique. I could just C and dash lmao
Thanks for the webm, it was really helpful. Yeah, DP follow-up doesn't seem that useless anymore

As a bystander I've been wondering, since even an absolute scrub like me can get a few Normal 1ccs on the fighting games (with some effort), can you guys beat them on Lunatic?

>>1809178
depends, i've never really tried SWR/Soku on Lunatic, i can 1cc IaMP but it's hellish and floatan are usually the easiest Lunatic 1ccs. AoCF in particular might be the single easiest Lunatic 1cc among all official games in the series, even counting meme 1ccs like PoFV Aya or other games that get broken by bomb spam

frankly i don't think playing the games as fighting games helps much in getting all Lunatic 1ccs. enemies play nothing like humans at all and you can usually cheese them during the first phase of the battle anyways. and spell cards break pretty much all rules of the game and you will get your ass handed to you if you don't have proper strats for each individual spell. not too unlike routing spell cards in a shmup. hell, many times you end up using strats from shmups in order to beat some spells

Soku? I can't host

>>1809178
Lunatic in SWR/Soku is not that hard to achieve as the spellcards are not that different from normal, they are just a bit more faster/tighter/numerous, but the pattern is exactly the same.

these characters are very fun to play but i wonder how the original roster would fare against them
>Satori gets Royal Flare AND LRE
and Exodia, and Yuyu's reversal, and apparently a card that resets her deck for whatever reason so in theory i could spam all those forever

>>1820791
I'll try mixing in a bit of my usual mains next time we play.
I don't see a soku2 wiki anywhere so I might have to put in some extra labtime figuring these characters out.

>>1821580
I meant the characters

>>1821580
i'm pretty sure it's meant to be compatible with the base game, if you try joining someone that doesn't have the mod you just get to pick from the base roster
i haven't tested it myself though

>>1821573
if you mean balance-wise, it feels like most new characters are slightly broken so in the end it sort of balances itself out, assuming you also pick one of the new characters of course. they definitely feel stronger than most of the base cast though

Damn it I knew that lead wasn't going to last when I saw the Iku SC on standby. GGs

>>1823814
Also what is that swirly skill for?

>>1823814
ggs, turns out it's 10x easier to properly set up Royal Flare when you have melee moves that are actually usable
thanks for hosting again

>>1823817
which one? there's the skill lets me charge up meter whenever you are within its range, and it's actually pretty fast so i can get like 3-4 cards if you are inside for the whole duration. one game i set it up before you died and then pushed you in between rounds and managed to draw a whole extra card because of that
there are 2 spells that also look similar, the 2sc is like a buffed up Ibuki Gourd that costs 2 cards and lets me draw 4, and the 3sc resets my deck completely, as if the game had just started which may or may not be completely fucking broken, especially with the skill that lets me keep drawing cards

>>1823823
both actually. I thought they were some shitty bullet I kept managing to avoid or something negligible. That's sounds pretty fucked up

>>1823844
yeah, those cards are the reason why i can get away with running a deck full of 4/5 cost spell cards. i actually just have x1 of most cards in my deck, but i can still use them with no commitment because i can always just reset my deck and keep drawing them
i actually started keeping count of the remaining 3 cost spells in my deck, because if i accidentally burn all 4 of them then the whole gameplan gets screwed and i'm fucked, so i have to make sure i always have at least 1 deck reset left. honestly it's a pretty fun kind of resource management i wish other characters had. maybe not this broken, though

Try out more bombs/hangekis. They can be baited but in order to bait them I have to leave large gaps in pressure which will also give you the chance to escape by simply high jumping or mashing. Also I see you were trying to use coin in the corner. Coin is the best defensive system card, but it's also really weird in the corner and if you aren't very familiar with how it works you'll just drain your own orbs quickly. It's safer to spam it in midscreen since it's more consistent

Also, normally i wouldn't tell newer players to BE, but you are already pretty good at it so definitely abuse that. It's the main defensive mechanic in the game and it's hard to catch on reaction. It's better if you have a plan before you do it though, because I will chase after you and you have to be ready for that, otherwise you'll get caught again and you'll have wasted an orb for nothing

Lastly there are reversal spell cards, although Sakuya only has Inscribed Red Soul which kinda sucks because it loses bullet invulnerability right before the hitbox comes out, so if you don't use it at the right moment it will still lose

>>1830857
thanks. i dont think i like sakuya anymore

>>1830883
Sakuya is strong but defense is definitely one of her bigger weaknesses, she has basically no reversals and her techroll covers a really short distance on top of being slow, so she can get oki'd to death. I would still stick with her, but then again I also main her so I may be a bit biased. In the end it depends on what you are looking for in a character

Good evening, 2hufrens.
I'm one of the faggots that take care of /vm/'s divegrass/football/soccer team. The team's reforming its player roster for the upcoming summer season so I wanted to ask if they thread would want to be represented.
If so, lemme know which thread character/meme would present this place the most and we'll throw that suggestion into a poll so everyone can vote for it and a couple other options from the board.
If you got any questions, feel free to ask me.
We also have a thread >>1809037
And a wiki https://implyingrigged.info/wiki//vm/
Thanks for your attention and have a good week!

>>1834405
Yes, I've been waiting for this
add the HISOUTENSOKU mecha. It would look cool as fuck

Why is IaMP so much less popular than Soku?

>>1837297
It's harder/less lenient because of its old input reader. Also the fact that all assets are reused in SWR/Soku leads a lot of people to the misconception that IaMP is just an older, obsolete version of those games rather than a fully different game, so many people don't see a reason to play it.

Funny enough, none of these issues are a big deal in fighting game circles (people are already used to games with old, crusty input readers and few people know about the continuity of 2hu games) so IaMP is slightly more "popular" than Soku in fighting game circles. Especially since mechanics like weather or decks are very off-putting for traditional fighting game players. They're both still incredibly niche, though.

>>1837350
Compared to double tapping each key with 2 fingers to do 1f links, IaMP doesn't really feel like there's something wrong with it.

>>1837773
It doesn't, but Soku has an extremely lenient input buffer for just about everything, so coming from it can be quite jarring for many people. IaMP has a lenient buffer for specials, but has no buffer for almost anything else. It also has its fair share of 1f links, although they tend to be super situational and it's not like they're a must.

>>1834405
Seconding >>1835414
We could use the hisoutensoku model which was made for the /m/-themed winter 24 final boss. You know who to ask for it.

>>1837297
Too Clunky, SWR and Soku are simplier and have more characters.

>>1838066
That model is fucking PERFECT

>>1835414
>>1838066
Aight, Hisoutensoku it is.
Poll is up!
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScj1o5LNqbUefMIkSUlMBE5VoXDAIVxQyYzJzZk0zCy7hxwuQ/viewform
Feel free to vote for your nigga (and a couple other shitters) to make it into the team's Summer season roster.
The poll will be up until next weekend, and results will follow shortly after.
Enjoy the weekend, everyone!

Say, for Iku whats a good choice for anti air? my 5B fucking sucks for that even when I know and anticipate someone is going at me with an j5A

>>1863855
ggs
she has no proper antiairs. sometimes you can instant hj j5A or j6A, but you need to abuse their range as much as possible and also make sure there's no bullet cover nearby because otherwise you lose the trade. really you just don't want to be in that position to begin with, it's better to try to air-to-air after a j6C or something like that but waiting in the ground is just a bad situation for her. worst case scenario just use Veils and bail out

Man Alice is so much bullshit, on this trade right here I pressed 2A first and yet her fucking flying kick is faster than me.

>>1867747
usually long range moves aren't fast enough to compete but that j2A is an anomaly so even then i won by like 1 single frame. that was pretty lucky because if you had pressed that even 1 frame earlier i would have gotten counter-hit in Diamond Dust
