Thinking about streaming my poor skills on Twitch while ranting about neoliberalism. Too nichè?

Next up, the character that was wrongly gutted from the beta,

Placed D1 w/ M controls with the strangest placement spread I've had so far.

Kim is in a very unfortunate place where she has good stuff, but even moreso than other examples, is completely and utterly overshadowed by Ken. There is genuinely zero point to playing her over Ken at the moment outside of investing experience for when she's buffed in future. Sad stuff.

Next up, it's the character with only one joke,

Placed at D1 w/ M controls, fighting a lot of diamonds who were way less threatening than normal? not sure what was up with that

not much to say on Juri, she's kinda just slightly worse Ken in a game where Ken does everything really well, so yeah just play Ken. Noticing a pattern here

had a lot of trouble w/ her DP AA, they'd either fly over or under, but never had an easier time punishing silly corner neutral jumps

Next up, it's week 1's menace:

Placed an unsurprising D1 w/ M controls, and - gonna be honest - I do not like Honda. He feels like worse Blanka for people who should be playing Marisa.

Absolute menace when you don't know the matchup, but even when you don't, he still has to commit hard and guess correctly to actually kill you.

Dear diary—went to my first local tournament a few nights ago and had a good time. There were only five players, so we just did round-robin, best record wins.

The most interesting bit competitively was how many little things there were to invade your mental. Controllers in and out, registering the controller to a profile on the PS5 (my first time not on PC), button checks on each setup, the waves of heat off the PS5.

Went 1-3. I'm going to try to make it back next time!

Wow! Two in one day? Next up, , where I placed at a surprising D1 w/ modern controls!

Jamie is good, he has great buttons, great pressure, great ways to build his resource. Jamie players might be some of the most severe downplayers I've ever seen. He just doesn't have a lot of representation at the moment, because if you're playing to WIN win why wouldn't you pick Ken instead?

Next up, , where I placed P5 w/ M controls, and I'm extremely salty with that placement!

Had two high P's I mopped the floor with, then two high D's I went close with but ultimately lost 0-2 to, and then a P1.

Blanka is good, fun, and pretty easy to pick up with M, but might be the first M char I've played that's actively worse w/ M controls, given that he loses some important tools, and doesn't get an instant single button DP.

Ken is actually the character I put the least amount of effort into learning. I saw that 5LP went into DP, medium auto combo did basic run stop stuff for me, and that was enough for me!

The annoying thing about Ken is, despite being an extremely over-represented top tier, he's really fun to play! V good w/ modern, also! Turns out 1 button fireballs are actually really good!

diary update: I'm a few wins into 5⭐ Gold, facing a lot of 1⭐ Platinum players, and I'm feeling the challenge level ratchet up. My relatively comfortable matchups are uncomfortable once again as folks play more cautiously and deliver stronger counterplay.

I'm happily back to nailing 2 to 3 of Manon's command throws per game, and in ranked it feels earned, like I am actively engaged in the conditioning that creates those down-back openings.

Next on placements w/ every char, , where I placed D1 and exclusively played with modern controls.

Initially, I gave up on Cammy, as low damage + limited experience means you can really struggle to overpower more crazy explosive playstyles and characters, but she is very very good, with fantastic neutral and conversions. Simple and effective gameplan, but not very explosive.

accidently hit Alt+F4 instead of F12 (my kb has a modifier for F*), so different img this time

Got this 11-win streak they got rid of the streak xp bonus it seems

I only get +50 xp here

In a way this makes me feel good about belonging in Platinum, bc I actually started this streak after deranking back to gold 5 and climbed all the way up again from there

I really appreciated in that moment how expressive fighting games can be. There's room in the design for players to discover what's effective, line it up with an approach that works for them, and be rewarded for playing their character differently.
