Comradery by way of PUNCHING- The Street Fighter 6 Club Thread

I’m hoping the creation of this club will help me stick with SF6 for longer than I usually do for other fighting games. Usually when I pick one up I tell myself “this is the one” only to stop playing after maybe 6 hours, mostly because I can never convince friends to play for more than a few matches and it’s hard to stay hungry when I don’t have a rival. Excited to see what happens!

Thanks for setting this up! I joined earlier this evening and am also dracula in the game.

I’ve never been good at SF but put a lot of time in V learning Chun-Li. This time I went through a lot of Lily’s combo training and I’m working my way up ranked. Looking forward to playing with everyone!

I'm not going to pay full price for this, but I wanna play it on PC! Waiting for a sale or somethin

I played a bunch of ranked matches yesterday which helped bc it matched me with people who were closer to my level of playing for the most part. When I went to the battle hub after playing ranked matches I found I had improved a lot. I don’t really know how the club thing works, I have gone on there and seen that other people are playing but don’t know how to interact or hang with you guys. I work Sunday and Thursday nights so I won’t be able to get in on the tournaments but would be fun to play with some of you all during other times. I really like this game, it’s the first competitive online game that has clicked with me. Even just losing over and over again is fun.

Seeing the exo-primal robo versions of SF characters was weird, because Jack from Tekken was basically Robo-Guile, but now we have Robo-Guile for real who just looks like Jack, lol

Alrighty, it’s time… REGISTRATION FOR OUR INAUGURAL TOURNAMENT IS NOW OPEN
ICDirtbags Inau... | Details
Please feel free to register anytime before 7:55PM EST on Sunday. We’ll start the bracket at 8PM.

Also! We’ll be using the IC-adjacent streaming zone discord for tournament organization during the event (if that’s ok @antillese) the invite to the server is at the top of the page of the above link.

The only rule (sorta) is we’d like the tournament to be for ICdirtbag club members or IC peeps in general. If you have a friend that’s interested, and they aren’t already here, drag them kicking and screaming into our folds!

I’m also not really going to be strict about this at all, but I like this community and want to share it with people that would also appreciate it.

EDIT: I’ll add that this is my first rodeo, so if anyone has any experience TOing, feel free to tell me if I’m massively screwing something up

I‘m in for sure. Been playing Marisa but I want to mess around with most of the cast. Long sets with friends, and weekly brackets aside I haven’t actually practiced that much.

Nice! Looking forward to having some fun games!

I’ll be your rival! What opinion can I express that will make us enemies in the street?

Something that works for another community that I’m a part of is choosing a particular Battle Hub server number to join regularly—say, Battle Hub 150 (because “Insert Credit” in binary yields a string that includes fifty ones). You can join that Battle Hub and then you can look at the Player List to see if any club members are there (they have a green icon next to their name). From there, you can “Fast Travel” to their location in the Hub and bug them with uppercuts or send direct messages to set up matches on a cabinet.

You can send messages to folks without joining a particular Battle Hub, but the act of hopping on a cabinet to play games has been weirdly easier after occupying the same virtual space.

Can y’all post your custom characters?? Like here for me to laugh at??

@KingTubb signed up! I expect to get thrashed but should be a fun time regardless!

I have to bail this time around cause of fathers day but i WILL emerge victorious next time around (jk I haven't even been bold enough to try ranked yet lmao)

This sounds like a good default location. I do go to the battle hub most days so it’ll nice to have a set server to go to

@treefroggy

I tried to make Rogue

Server NA 150 sounds perfect to me! I might drop in there tonight. Also, if you‘re a little nervous about entering the tournament on Sunday, I totally get it. We’ll have a whole private room set up so if you just want to get some games in with peeps and VC in the discord, you are more than welcome!

And if we‘re feeling froggy, we could end up doing a wacky tournament or special rule fights off the cuff. I’ll keep a notebook and pencil handy incase we want to do a quick tourney

Ah heck didn’t realize Sunday was Father’s Day. I don’t think I’ll be able to make it unfortunately.

Hmmmm…

It looks like a lot of people are gonna have a hard time getting there on Sunday. Would Thursday at 8PM EST work better for everyone?

We could also push the start time back a little.

Ok friends:

Made a link for a tournament on Thursday. Feel free to register for either or both, I plan on making time on both occasions to be around and hang out!

Me after 10 minutes in training mode! I can’t join either tournament since I’m cat sitting for a friend so I’ll be away from my PC for a few days. But I joined the club (absolutely love the uniform) and I’m ready for some games with everyone at some point!

Hung out with Kory and trianglesquare in NA 150 for a bit before work today. It was fun punching and being punched by forum mates!
