So I’ve been trying to get back into gaming a bit as another side hobby. I was playing Street Fighter 5 pretty tough for a while there some few years back, but I dropped it because it was so frustrating, and I still hadn’t developed many coping mechanisms to deal with stress and frustration that would arise from it not working properly, the lag, and the way people behaved online. I have those coping mechanisms now, mainly meditation and also this new game has fixed a lot of the nagging issues that were present in SF5. For one it runs great online. You can literally be on the West Coast of the USA and play someone in Europe without much noticeable lag. I’m not sure if it’s the Resident Evil Engine they are using (as opposed to the Unreal Engine) or if they just had better programming from the jump, but the game runs great. People still do lame stuff like spam attacks or win-quit you, but I’ve decided not to let it bother me.
Music and DJing are still my main hobbies, but I will jump into training mode in SF6 from time to time to practice moves and also play online as well. I had been mainly playing as Dhalsim, the Yoga character that spits fire and has rubberman like limbs, but I don’t like how he plays in this version of the game. I prefer Ryu, the traveling warrior who seeks the challenge of battle and finds his self worth and understanding of others in combat. I’m pretty good with him so far, as I got to play him in the demo and beta versions of the game more than any other character. Capcom has sold A TON of copies of this game, I believe it’s already over 1 million+, so they have made the top prize for the winner of Capcom Cup next year a cool 1 million dollars! That’s crazy and whoever wins that money will be very fortunate and blessed. It’s not going to be easy, as people who weren’t playing Street Fighter are now playing solely with the mission of winning that money at the end of the season. There’s going to be a lot of competition and its going to hard fought for sure.
If I can get good enough, fast enough, I wouldn’t be opposed to entering that tournament to try my hand at that dough! My djing and music production will always come first, but if I get as good as I had gotten in SF5 at one point, I’ll make a run at it! I was thinking of opening up a comment section for these different blog posts to see if anyone is reading and if they are interested in the site at all. I plan on posting some more reviews soon, and as I had previously promised, I need to beef up the spirituality section with more information and thoughts. Hopefully I can do all that as the site goes on. Take care and be blessed!
