RIDE THE FIRE - edition

>What is /fig/?
/fig/ is a thread for viewers to find, share, and discuss idol vtubers who play fighting games and (beat em ups), either from large companies, small ones, or indies, as well as to discuss fighting games about Hololive and other vtubers in general.

>So is this thread about fighting games or Idol showdown?
Neither: this is a thread about idols and fighting games.

>But what is an idol?
An idol is something unobtainable and moe that makes your kokoro go doki doki (WIP)

>Is {X} a fighting game?
Temporally we will define fighting games as games fighting idols play.

>Are beat em ups a fighting game?
No, but we will use the loophole above provide a home for them temporally as well since most of the fighting idols also play beat em ups. If the genre seems to have a revival at some point, we would recommend splitting this thread (again).

>I have no friends, can I ask for games here?
Just post a request in the GAME ANCHOR

How do you win at a game where your buttons don't even register?

>>102690943

Shimadoubters will look so silly in two weeks.

Yeah there fucking must be. And **I** have to deal with it.

lord of the board tag force and vtleague friendlies starts later today it's like 3 am here We play divegrass on sunday vs the /jidf/ and we tag team with /hfz/ on satruday(?) as The Merge

>>102692825
Just accept connections with 5 bars or whatever is the equivalent in Tekken
Alternatively move to japan

>>102693549
That isn’t a possibility and location doesn’t matter. It always shows the ping to the server at something around 50ms or lower anyway.
I’ve hooked up an external input recording program to make sure it isn’t just me, and it isn’t. It’s just straight up dropping inputs where they definitely exist. It isn’t even a rollback thing because it happens in situations where nothing would have interrupted me

>>102713683
Who is to say? She was upset at the news but she did a post on her personal twitter before that saying she was trying to focus on her own health and not take on too many projects. KemoV was always a side thing. She's a 3d mocap actress and a choreographer for vtubers.

>>102716032
she's real close to diamond
hopefully she doesn't get forced 50

Juri anon anti air diary day 16

Today I broke the record and now I did 200 whiff punish anti airs in a row.
I am not entirely sure what exercise to do next.
These drills alone increased my MR permanently by 50 or so, now I went from being in the 1600- 1700 bracket to the 1650- 1750
Sadly, this is not enough to be ultimate master yet.
I feel im much stronger but it isnt enough
Another thing is that i have gotten exceedingly good in reading patterns. I think this is because, as I was told many times but didnt listen, now that my brain doesnt have to think about anti airing all the time I can actually watch what is going on
I think now i will do the cr hp anti air drill I started these to begin with

>>102737819
>what exercise to do next
once you got the basics down, it's time to practice matchups
either you go at it like a hermit, going character per character in training mode, learning their advantages and disadvantages states in detail
or you use the power of the FT10:
one FT10, go over the replays, note where you got beaten, reproduce, destroy, another FT10
entering tourneys is also a good exercise, to learn how to manage pressure. It can also help you experience fully the gameplan of a character, because a FT2/3 under pressure is not the same FT2/3 on ranked, they need to be effective immediatly to win, meaning they'll take out the big guns immediatly.
you'll also be playing stronger players from the get go, adding to your experience

>>102738471
>once you got the basics down
i think i still need to practice the following before I do matchup research
- drive rush check from pure neutral
- proper shimmy: I let too many throws go unpunished on reaction
- reacting to DI
- learning the timing on interrupting light punch into medium which i somehow always do wrong

On specific matchups I guess now I have to get used to parrying cammy divekicks since now my first instinct is to auto psycrusher
is there anything else i should learn?

https://x.com/Capcom_amuse/status/1948973771429478466

>>102738925
>light punch into medium which i somehow always do wrong
you always do wrong because it's too fast to be properly reacted to
you can react to its stimulus (the hitstop), don't get me wrong, but to understand it is a light your opponent just did is practically impossible
SF6 is a game of choices, and it is a choice here: do you take your turn back after a neutral normal move or not?
you WILL learn the proper spacing WHERE the lights are used, and respond consequently, but not because you necessarilly reacted properly to the frametrap
>is there anything else i should learn?
to not mindgame yourself
if something works, continue to do it
trying to adapt to the adaptation of your opponent when they don't adapt will fuck your rhythm
it's hard to do, trust me

Meh. Despite horrendous netcode, I ranked up. Hooray. I just wish it felt like an accomplishment rather than compensation for all the victories that I got robbed of.
