I watch a lot of SF6 players while I work, but notice they tend to get extremely salty after 30 minutes while streaming ranked.

In many cases, streamers will be so mad and just rage quit their own stream.

This is such a good and successful game, just wondering why even good players are getting so mad while playing? the only exception seems to be Punk, who seems to beat everyone

Its Edmond

hi, i just want to tell my experience as a beginner and some realisation.

i played the game for about ~50hrs on and off.
last 2 weeks i decided to go back to the game and lock in for a matter of time. just to see how i far i can get.

so i played as a beginner with modern controls. i had fun, it was a great entry, but it didnt felt right for me. i wanted to use the whole roster of my char (Ed) but i hated the dpad of the ps5 controller.

so i ordered the 8bitdo m30 and told myself, the day this controlles arrives, i will change to classic. it will be easier for me, because of the 6 button layout and the better dpad.
side note for everyone who is searching for a great controller, get the 8bitdo m30. its really great.

anyways, so i did that, watched some tutorials, tried some bnb combos in the lab and hopped in the ranked matches.

i read a few threads about modern controls in the past and that changing the controls, will feel like another game. i didnt believed it, thought they were salty or something like that.
but holy moly, it is.
it feels like you try riding the bike for the 2nd or 3rd time, but this time without the holding hand from your parents.
you maybe can get that, but it will be very hard.
the landing felt painful, but in another way, now it just feels right.

this is not a rage, i'm not mad about people playing like how they want.
but there is a little realisation.
i still suck and will suck for a long time and will stay a while in bronze, but now after i switched to classic, sometimes i feel something like "frustration"? if its the right description - when i have to play against modern controls.
so now i can understand some bitterness.

but, play the game like you want and how you have the most fun out of it.
dont let other people tell you how you should do it.

i just wanted to say, that i'm happy about myself, that i could switched the controls and that i hopefully will improve now, how i wanted to improve since i started playing the game.
and if i can do that, you can do that too. go classic!

Don't get me wrong - it is amazing to have the ability to make recordings in training mode, but at the same time I find it super tedious and I just never end up doing it. Having the ability to share short dummy recordings via a mechanism like the replay codes would be super cool and a neat way to engage with other players too. Anybody's uncle work at Capcom and want to put in a request?

why did SF4 have so many 1-frame links? i know there's no input buffer, but i only see people mentioning the 1f links for sf4, i don't see it mentioned for any other games that lack buffers, like SF3, KOF, et cetera. was it just designed intentionally that way? did it just happen to line up like that? what's the reason?

The skill gap between Master and High Master is crazy. I've reached High Master like 9 times, and each time I get there-- I immediately fall back down to low 1500s. What do you think separates Master from High Master? I definitely know I need to be better with anti-airs and checking drive rush... my footsie game is pretty good. But whenever I face unga bunga players- that definitely tilts me. What else should be worked on?
