So I probably missed this discussion early on in SF6 discourse

But safejump parry OS is actually useful if you're low on drive gauge and don't want to lose another 1/2 bar due to blocking someone's OD reversal (and gain 1/2 bar for the parry) but without PP damage penalty

Basically what I'm doing is performing my safejump attack with MP+MK+HP and *holding down the buttons* until I land before trying to combo

If the attack hits, the hitstop of the attack keeps me locked in midair and I let go of parry before I land

This simultaneous input also prevents you from getting an accidental perfect parry which would kill your damage output. Getting locked into parry animation also means you can input followup landing attacks and not worry about getting hit by the reversal.

SF6 change wishlist:

* Fix dropped parry input from Drive Rush freeze and reversal (but ensure that reversals still cannot get easier PPs)
* Drive Rush, if counter-hit, crumple state (as if you got hit with a Drive Impact) with Punish Counter damage bonus
* Drive Reversal -3 oB
* Standard Overheads -4 oB (punishable on block, no advantage if blocked from DR)
* Perfect Parry has no damage penalty (or damage bonus from the Punish), but the attacker can still cancel (heh)

Also honestly not a lot of character balance changes I can think of. Gief should get lariat crossup hits, air SPD and AA super hitboxes fixed. Jamie's command throw should get Counter/Punish Counter frame advantage bonuses since it gets severe damage scaling anyways. Etc.

i really wish my notifications feed would just collate every single interaction a particular post of mine received so i wouldn't have 20 pages of people liking a single post, i thought this was a solved issue

My Monday so far
