About 100 hours in ranked. Played a lot of Street Fighter 2 as a kid, but never seriously and never like this. As a dad, it was so hard to find time to play so I would sneak a few matches here or there. Maybe 1 hour a day since game launch on average.

The best part was my 9 year old daughter witnessed the moment and we both ran around the house screaming together. She has been sitting and watching most of my journey since the beginning and she even watches EVO with me. She likes to play Juri btw. This will go down as the top gaming moment of my life because I got to share it with her.

I don't do anything fancy and just generally try to maximize whenever I get a chance. I'm really not that good so I don't want to give advice I don't have. But I'm just so happy right now and I don't really know who else to share it with.

If anyone is feeling stuck, just keep going. The answer lies in the heart of battle :)

Big grats man!

Besides Cammy, who else do you play as?

I used Ken at game launch and got him to gold.

Then I switched to Cammy because I wanted something new (played Ken mostly my whole life) and just went all in. I gave up last year after getting Cammy to diamond and took a big break.

Then last month I tried Mai out and got her into diamond surprisingly fast.

And so I decided to really go for it with Cammy and here we are.

So long answer short is Ken, Cammy and Mai.

I'll probably start messing around with other characters now and actually enjoy the game more now lol.

Which characters do you play?

Sadly haven't got into SF6 myself. Been following the pro scene since the third strike days though.

I used to play Third Strike at the arcade in Cal Poly Pomona (where Evo moment 37 happened). Basically the best of the best on the west coast played there, and it was trial by fire every time you put a quarter down.
