Street Fighter V Tournaments and Showcase featuring: Daigo, Justin Wong, & PogChamp,

"So does Birdie have any weaknesses? Anyone coming up with one? He's got like every tool possible."

I'm still thinking Birdie players are getting away with stuff they shouldn't, but no one has any real lab time to really see how to punish.

Ya it could be not knowing what's punishable... but just his arsenal of tools he has is nuts. A grappler with a projectile is like pretty crazy on it's own, then you put everything else he has.
 
It's hard to compare other genres to fighters. In shooters, I will say that you can clearly get better from just playing more without looking up information on how to get better. You will naturally get better at aiming and you will start to notice what guns are better for certain situations, and your movement will improve to a certain point.

In fighters, I think that isn't possible. You can't just play matches upon matches to get better. I feel like you have to do more investigation by going to the training room, looking up guides, etc... and then using that investigation to apply in matches.

I disagree w/ that. There was a time before Youtube, and fighters were even more popular then. And the tournament scene for 3rd Strike, ST, Alpha, etc was there. Will you get better by playing the CPU? No, apart from improving your inputs, discovering combos and such. But as far as setups, matchups, what counters what, you don't need somebody to tell you what to do. Good ole trial and error in a competitive environment is where much of that knowledge comes from anyway.
 
Nerf Cammy.

She has no weakness.

Biggest thing is the dude has a V-Trigger he can build across screen if you run away from him, a V-Trigger that just straight up ups his Off/Def on some Marvel 3 X-Factor shit, and can cross the screen/get around projectile pretty easily. Not to mention how good his buttons are, or just how much fuckin' damage he can do.

That banana controls space so well too.
 
I love that Justin is playing this character this good as he's the one I'm most stoked for out of the current cast.

So good.
 
Im confused about chip.

No chip at all can kill you? So specials and supers?

I don't like it tbh. In those situations, i liked the option of doing an unsafe special to get the chip, and them having them think same thought and countering it.
 
Is there a movelist for this demo available anywhere?

My friend is taking part in the tourney at E3 and wants to know Charlie's target combos. However, the demo booths don't have normals listed. Could someone who's been listening to the commentary or saw Combo's Nash breakdown remind me of what his target combos/chains are?

I know that d+mp, f+mp is one that goes into the overhead

I think Shooters is still better in that area. At least when I played shooters that was my experience. One of the reasons why ppl want fighters to have a better guide in game to teach you fundamentals.
 
Daigo started to adapt but just didn't have enough time.

Justin just seems to have much more experience than the rest for now.
 
Yeah I mean I just want to pick up Starcraft 2, DOTA 2, CS: Go, and League of Legends and boom I'm in there. No practice needed I am the champ.

DOTA 2 and LOL are NOT execution heavy games. Complex, yes, but execution heavy? Same for CS:GO.
All of them are huge.

Now look at Starcraft II. Really really big on execution.
Player base? Not so good.
