Just a reminder that I tutor math and physics for a living. If you ever have any questions feel free to reach out.

@hereticmagicman Gonna try and power through. I am starting to believe again that this team is really underrated. I find you do have to play interactions very differently though

@Samuel_D_FGC you gonna power through with this team or you just messing around in the lab?

Back to this team. Its so much fun! Anyways you can do a ton of dmg off of Jinx throw lmao #2xko #2xko_jinx #2xko_blitz

@hereticmagicman Brother I am begging you to play a different fighting game lmao

No bison nerfs no guile nerfs barely did anything to ryu barely did anything to ED barely did anything to JP nice viper changes juri changes look like whatever elena changes are ok i guess? This patch is boo boo :(

Anyone else feels like online SF6 runs like really slow? I cant tell if its placebo but I swear it feels like Im always playing with like 4 frames of rollback. Is that just how the game is?

@Zedd_FGC I think Cait is pretty good with the right partner. Like Cait/Yasuo seems really strong to me. Ahri/Blitz does seem good. Lots of neat things you can do. Only big weakness I see so far is that you dont really have a good 'skip neutral' option

@Samuel_D_FGC Oh the dropping Jinx part, yes you and everyone else haha. My team wants me to pickup cait instead, but I'm not sold that she's big enough of an upgrade. Ahri/Blitz seems good.

Ahri/Jinx feels awful to me with the most recent patch, so I am exploring the grapplers because I realized I only really win with Strike/Throw as I'm ass at any other style of mix. This is true for all FGs btw. So, are we cooking yet, chat?

@Zedd_FGC Jinx just feels terrible to play. Her reward on block is very low. Her neutral is ok. Her combo dmg is bad. Been learning Ahri/Blitz instead

@Samuel_D_FGC I haven't had issues yet with the on block part, if anything, I find I struggle more just from a defensive perspective. I've liked it so far, I don't really play the game conventionally as it is. What ultimately made you drop the team?

@Zedd_FGC I dont even believe this team is particularly terrible. Just that its unintuitive. Your reward on any hit is really high. Problem is making contact on block is pretty low reward.

@Samuel_D_FGC I don't mind solo Jinx tbh. I just don't like how any of the more standard mix teams play with this patch, and there are only like 2 true strike/throw teams lol. Warwick is the most supplementary "good" jinx team. This team is uber low tier tho...and I hate it...

@RunisFGC I'll have to try it, thanks!

@Samuel_D_FGC Instead of doing blitz [8S2] tag jinx 2S1 5M 2H you can do blitz [9S2] tag jinx 2S1 dash up 5H2H slight delay 2S2 5M tag blitz super. Non zap monkey has a higher min damage than electric.

With this wrecking ball tech you also get a very efficient TOD from 5M. Need to see how much meter you need to start with still. #2xko #2xko_blitz #2XKO_Jinx

Finally got the final thumbs up on my thesis! I now officially have a Masters Degree in Physics!

Dropping Jinx for Ahri. I think Jinx atm is so unplayably bad. Like I actually have no idea what she's supposed to do. Traps suck, her normals are mediocre, her zoning is like... ok. Her solo dmg is ok, and her mix sucks. Shame because Jinxcrank is such a sick team

The more I play Jinx in #2xko the more I realize how bad she is. Today I have come to the conclusion that I should basically never do minigun. very slow start up and you can't jail into it. This means some characters can just punish it. Its reward on hit and block are also bad

LMAOOO cmd grab TOD #2xko_blitz #2XKO_Jinx

Been labbing using blitz assist with Jinx for a while now. Got me thinking when I can restand and tag into Jinx for some better offence. This mix isnt particularly scary, but a good proof of concept

@totalsagat It worked out but I dont think he spent super with all of this pre-calculated. JP even whiffed parry. So like, if he held parry JP wouldn't be burned out. I wonder if he just blocked if he would be burned out too. I think he just did super gambling on the DP to hit

@Samuel_D_FGC We are both right. He did hold the DP upon seeing the drop, but he didn't need to cancel the super at that point, he could have just whiffed the DP on block, but then eats a PC level 2 from JP and is probably dead, or close to it and now in burnout himself. Bet the farm. Won.

Idk if I buy this analysis. I think its far more likely he already inputted DP expecting the link to work, realized it didnt combo and figured he should at least gamble on a held DP to catch opponent hitting a button. I feel like this interaction is still JP favored.
