Y'know, that last sentence sounds masochistic as heck if it's taken out of context. ^^''

Well I am kinda a masochist xD in fighting games I genuinely like fighting higher level players since matches with them are thrilling and I feel like I have to really fight my hardest, that's why I'm ready for lobby matches so I can fight alot of great players, win or pose xD

I'd say it starts to get consistently tough at around B-

Wait for lobbies yeah. Master and me get ridiculous funny super close games lmao. Hopefully more people join in on the fun.

I can see why you'd like to fight tougher opponents. Personally, I like to fight opponents that are slightly better than myself, since getting bodied by a much better player probably won't teach me that much and it feels really demoralizing to get absolutely destroyed.

Same, I don't usually get bodied per say(I consider being 3-0ed bodied) but I at least put up a fight but I don't think I've felt truly demoralized by losing except that one time Ihajin fought me and I felt so bad years ago xD

DOA rank in a nutshell:

New challenger appears! - 5 bar goes to 2 - cancel

New challenger appears! - 5 bar goes to 2 - cancel

New challenger appears! - 1 bar, DOA: how about now?

New challenger appears! - 1 bar, DOA: how about now?

New challenger appears! - 1 bar, DOA: maybe now?

New challenger appears! - 1 bar, DOA: what about now?

@DestructionBomb That is such a painfully accurate description of my ranked experience.

New challenger appears! - 1 bar goes to 4 - cancel, Shit!

New challenger appears! - 1 bar, DOA: come on you coward

New challenger appears! - 5 bar - Accept - 1 bar while they hit accept in slow-mo on their end.

For 6s gameplay, I don't feel too excited about beating pros as I did when I managed to in 5. Though playing DoA enough, there seems to be certain things EVERYONE perfects or makes less a habit of once you're good enough. Yomi is too crazy in DoA, it's like it's always been SFV. Now there's not much individual transparency between pros in 6 beyond a character choice. "Who's going to guess correct 100x?"

I just 46T and izuna my way to you guys without regrets or shame. Wearing Lisa's big shades also counts as trolling for the low ranks btw lol. You just need to beat them quickly & dirty, don't even think about playing solid until you reach A, they mash buttons a half screen away

DOA6 is more my speed so I've been doing pretty well so far, I was worried earlier but the more I won and the better I got at reacting the calmer I play xD I try to play solid even against players who haven't done much but it's much easier to just rush them down and bait them tbh

So, doa6 IS faster? I have not played 5 for ages but see myself having a harder time converting counter hits into combos even with my main :sad:
