Is Birdie's ex shoulder punishable?

I couldn't punish it with Nash's b.mk on block, always rather just not press anything now since you already know they got another online special ex shoulder waiting.

Also Chun's v-trigger is nasty. That shit lasts forever and you can link into so much damage. The overhead is especially disgusting.

You sure it ain't day 1 grappler syndrome?

nah I can sense that, if ryu got nerfed no way they allow current gief to keep all his tricks.

 

[TheRealTalker]

were is my Karin

 

[Gr1mLock]

I think i just found some legit dirty stuff with necalli.

 

[Karsticles]

Grapplers are always OP early on.

 

[skLaFarebear]

What function does Laura's fireballs serve? Like, what can i do with them really?

EX fireball also works off cr.mp and is great for switching sides on a reset.

[smurfx]

hmm i really don't like the ps4 control. gonna wait for the madcatz pad i guess..

 

[bluestuff]

Anyone got a spare PC code?

 

[skLaFarebear]

You sure it ain't day 1 grappler syndrome?

Nah, his spd reaches way too far. He feels like a Beta 1 character in a sea of nerfed beta 2/3 characters.

 

[NeonBlack]

Just kicked this on. Are the promo codes to allow anyone to download the beta?

 

[bob_arctor]

Hurts so much being stuck Xmas shopping right now. And then later tonight, I'm going out for the Jets game. Really want to mess with Gief, too. Keep those impressions coming. How's that instant air 360 working for people?

 

[tariniel]

Is there any way for me to go into training mode WITHOUT automatically looking for a match? I want to practice with the chars I've never played in peace for a few minutes.

Compared to last night I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually want less matches. I'm on PC.

 

[J-Skee]

Yup.

 

[Deps]

Sim is so sick, short slide xx vt is amazing. Also in the corner he can juggle air ex flame after ground one, or reset with chp into meaty for stun setup.

 

[HardRojo]

And a Vega just ruined my streak. Kept getting stuffed with the same mixup over and over. Reactions are my weakness...

 

[Lost Fragment]

2k lp but my rank is stuck at like 1400 or something. Wat.

I just got killed by this Chun. whew

I need to upload this L. He did some shit I didn't even think would combo outside of V-Trigger. $5 it gets nerfed lol

Yeah Chun is real gross. I keep being surprised when a new beta comes around and she doesn't end up nerfed more.

Her b.hp was completely disgusting before they made it a crush counter though and it's still kind of ridiculous.

The more I play this game the more crush counter feels like a mechanic they use to nerf certain counterhit buttons so they can nerf them without having to change their normal properties.

 

[Squishy3]

Nobody respects the Gief.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

You can't play with friends or invite them via Steam? Same thing on PS4?

 

[Ermac]

I can't find my friends via the rival search. Do j need PS+ for this? All other modes work fine.

 

[J-Skee]

Correct. Sucks, right?

 

[K.Sabot]

good job capcom you created an environment where if anyone sees any other character doing something that isn't absolutely garbage, they expect it to get nerfed

 

[lucebuce12]

Correct. Sucks, right?

Well, it's almost like we're not playing the finished version of the game.

 

[pizzacat]

Capcom bout to silence this dude

 

[PolarBearsClub]

Anyone got a spare PC code?

You still need one?

Edit: Dang, thread is moving pretty fast. Didn't realize you posted this 5 minutes ago.

 

[SquirrelSoup]

Uggggghhh, three unplayably laggy matches in a row. Quite obviously shitheads with poor wifi who intentionally play like this too. Doing all kind of teleport gimmicks. >=|

 

[bluestuff]

You still need one?

Yes please.

 

[cackhyena]

lol

 

[skLaFarebear]

lmao

 

[J-Skee]

Welp, just lost to someone named Bootyeater420. Think I'm done for now.

Was he playing Laura

 

[Gr1mLock]

Will hoard for sure.

If you have a spare one after giving BlueStuff one, I'd appreciate it.

 

[lucebuce12]

Let's be realistic here, of course he was.

 

[Karsticles]

Is it just me, or is Sim's CA the worst?

 

[PolarBearsClub]

Yes please.

PM me your Steam ID and I'll gift you a beta pass.

 

[Tripon]

Is it just me, or is Sim's CA the worst?

Probably. All the other CA can be comboed into for huge damage. Sim's CA is a poor spacing tool when he has way better options for it.

 

[J-Skee]

Was he playing Laura

Nah, Vega.

 

[ICKE]

This game is just too simple, there is no substance behind any of these characters.

I've played with Laura for two hours and I feel like I know nearly everything. There is no longevity for this game if they don't drastically change these mechanics.

The visual appeal is definitely there but SF5 feels like some party-game. Tournaments will be mostly counter.pick fests, because good players can learn quickly how to play many of the characters.

 

[jbug617]

Just got into a match with a teleporting Nash. Not fun

 

[Deps]

Is it just me, or is Sim's CA the worst?

Yeah its pretty bad, also ex fire is so important. I don't really see a good reason to use it for now.

Undefeated in the beta?

 

[BizzyBum]

Sim seems like absolute ass.

Everything? All the resets and mixups?

 

[Rentahamster]

Eh, it's alright.

Probably. All the other CA can be comboed into for huge damage. Sim's CA is a poor spacing tool when he has way better options for it.

You can combo into it.

 

[HardRojo]

Fucking hating the DS4 right now. I'm pressing forward to block the crossup but it registers down forward and I get wrecked.

 

[ICKE]

Undefeated in the beta?

It's not a question of being undefeated; there is simply a lack of substance in these mechanics. Very little variety in combos and it feels like everything is spoon-fed to players. I'm still discovering new things in SF4 after several years of playing.

I don't want to put SF5 down. The game is pretty fun to play but I don't see any reason why I would really invest 1000+ hours into this like I have with SF4.

What's the best frame traps? I'd like to know some counterhit setups that lead into a good mixup. Lots of people mashing jabs.

You're so good, man. I'm impressed!

 

[BiggNife]

I disagree. I don't think he's amazing but he does a fine job of shutting down pressure and he has a boatload of good AA tools. I think he's just really hard to use like he always has been.

e: and I don't think his CA is bad. Just like Yoga Inferno it has some decent mixup potential.
