Finally back from work. I think I'm going to take Ryu parry training today. I've missed a lot of parrys against full screen charge in attacks, like Karins and Necallis etc. I do fine against projectiles.

I need that next level parry skill tho.

 

[BlizzKrut]

1 hour later, still no match in both ranked and casual :/

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

I'm pretty sure SF4 was the same?

No. I would've have been able to tolerate that shit for this many years if that was the case.

 

[MegamanXZero]

1 hour later, still no match in both ranked and casual :/

Tried Battle Lounge yet ?

 

[Copenap]

Lost my first ranked and it said "failed to send data to the server". Hope the guy doesn't think I disconnected...

 

[HundredEyeMonk]

So glad I took the week off for this. I've managed to get 3 whole matches in since Monday. Can't get anything today.

lol you took a week off on launch week? I learned my lesson with GTA Online, so I feel your pain.

Never take off launch week for an online game.

 

[HardRojo]

I'm pretty sure SF4 was the same?

Don't remember how it was in vanilla but Super and later iterations saved your training settings. Saves me time from setting the dummy and info every time I enter the mode, which is a lot.

 

[Baleoce]

It really is a beautiful stage.

 

[jon bones]

You won't be getting many crushes since her crush move is sHK and thats more of an anti air. If you get one in the air just reset.

If you have meter just throw a super, otherwise save it for EX Strikes

thanks. i'll play around in training to find a good punish combo for blocked dps and the like.

ex strike as in the in-air attack?

how is the utilization on hooligan combos? seems easily punishable at first glance

 

[Makeda]

Finally won a ranked match (closeone as well ) and I get the 'failed to send match results' message

 

[Sephzilla]

Awwww yeah my TE2+ just arrived

 

[abstract alien]

Finally win a match and results failed to be retrieved by server. Noooo!

Were you using Rashid? Someone using him just beat me and that happened.

 

[jett]

I won 27 matches this morning and 2 of those had people disconnect when I won.

I don't understand how some of you people have been getting so many matches while I get jackshit.

 

[Marvel]

Finally won a ranked match (closeone as well ) and I get the 'failed to send match results' message

Can't tell you how many times this has happened to me, yes it hurts.

 

[scooblehdoo]

ive been getting matches every minute or so... its so good

 

[Venfayth]

Not sure what that person meant, everyone in this game gets crush counters. If you block someone's invincible reversal (like a dragon punch) then as long as you punish them, you get a counter hit. Everyone gets crush counters.

A cammy earlier did a crush counter punish on me:

St.HK for crush counter > towards+hk > cr.mp xx super (you could do drill if you dont have super meter)

I don't understand how some of you people have been getting so many matches while I get jackshit.

It was from 4am-6am central time so the servers were probably not overloaded.

 

[Copenap]

Hold back. If you notice they have a tendency to wake up with a DP (Shoryuken) then try to bait it and punish them for it.

Yeah, I always get punished by the wake up, thanks for the tip.

 

[GootecksShimmy]

Popnlocker I see you out there in the internet hiding behind your TV. Stay free you rank quitting salty dingle berry.

[Shmuppers]

Can't even log in on the east coast :/

 

[Darrenf]

I fucking suck with charge characters/moves. Always have so I don't use charge characters.

However I'm trying to learn Chun Li, but I'm having a lot of trouble doing Kikoken & Spinning Bird Kick. Everytime I pull it off I have no idea what I did differently to do it. Getting frustrated.

 

[dem0neyes]

StreetFighter GAF is full of helpful people. Really appreciate the help everybody offers.

One thing Street Fighter V proves is how subjective value is. I paid £25 for this game via steam and spent the first 2 hours with Ryu in training mode. The enjoyment of learning inputs and actively improving is something many other games don't do as well as fighters. In essence that's what they're all about.

For me, even without vast single player content and the sloppy start to online modes this is a wonderful game, with depth and countless hours waiting to be invested in it. Won't regret a second of it.

10/10 gitting gudder

Pretty much where I'm at so far with this game. I'm still amazed that ppl actually play arcade mode but hey to each his own. Only thing that is bothering me is battle lounges being broken. Played the game a bit before the release with a friend online when battle lounges were perfect and having the rematch option in there just lets you play thru matches soooooo fast. I'd much rather do that then play ranked. Helps me learn things faster.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

So was there any way to get Hot Ryu on PC?

 

[Palocca]

The ranking level system is borked at the moment right? I constantly smashed people with ranks in the 100s yesterday night. And I don't think I'm even that good.

 

[GootecksShimmy]

Yeah, I always get punished by the wake up, thanks for the tip.

If people mash on wake up, do a LP right as they get up then block.

 

[Tan]

Lost my first match but it said failed to send match results. Crossing my fingers it never gets them!

 

[the_id]

Finally win a match and results failed to be retrieved by server. Noooo!

Same!!!! I just won my second match and it did the same thing.

 

[Venfayth]

If people mash on wake up, do a LP right as they get up then block.

If it's a fast reversal like a DP that'll still get hit. Sometimes you just gotta block.

 

[TheRed]

Were you using Rashid? Someone using him just beat me and that happened.

Nah I was Ryu and I managed to win 2 more for my first ever win streak! But no results again. Maybe I'll take a break, I want some credit when I actually manage to win 1 out of like 20 matches. This 3 win streak made me feel good though even without the points I feel like I've actually learned a little in a fighting game finally. Hope I can keep improving.

 

[Trickster]

servers down i guess? Had two matches in a row that failed to send data. Tried to restart game, can't get on

 

[Z3M0G]

So is this game much like DOA, where it is much smarter to sit in training mode while waiting for random online matches rather than Arcade mode which would interfere with the matching process every time you transition between PC opponents?

 

[E_Darkness]

Did the server just die? I couldnt' send my match results.

 

[GootecksShimmy]

The ranking level system is borked at the moment right? I constantly smashed people with ranks in the 100s yesterday night. And I don't think I'm even that good.

Onslaught of new people picked up the game along with ok, good, great, and amazing players. It's not like Daigo is going to start the game at Grand Master rank...he has to level up to get there and start right where you did when you went online.

This means you are fighting crappier players than you who happened to play crappier players than even them.

 

[Pachimari]

So in Nash's story, who's the "Ed" kid? Think he could be a future DLC character?

This Ed kid made me curious as well. But I just think he's part of the Nyunguu (don't remember the name) organization's experiments, the one Fang is in charge of.

Completely possible. Although I would want them to make Azam (Rashid's butler) playable before we get Ed.

Yes please. I would like Azam first, and then Ed.

Yooooooo!

Today keeps on giving!

SF5 works
My Bday
Tizoc in KoFXIV
And I just became a member on GAF instead of Junior?

Laaawd.

Congrats on the member title made. Now go get them titles in SFV too!

Seriously... how is everyone so good at this game already?

Am I the only one here who wins like 1 in every 5 games? I've been playing SF my whole life...

If you want to kick somebody's ass, go ahead and beat me. Send me a PM with your CFN and PSN, and I'll add you!

My Hori Fighting Stick Mini arrived today and it feels really nice, the stick has good resistance and the buttons are tactile and clacky. But my god is playing with a stick completely different to a pad. I'm having trouble doing hadoukens ATM.

After I sold my Hori V3, I am thinking of picking this up, after I pick up the Fighting Commander 4, and if I like the Mini, I'll go for the Hori V4. Very nice impressions, thanks for those.

new DLC background?

Spoiler

lol

Now I want this as a stage more than ever lol.

sweep is crouching heavy kick usually

Usually crouching heavy kick, also known as a crouching roundhouse. It's the attack the "sweeps" the opponent and causes a knockdown.

Hmm, thanks. I gotta try this out with Nash. Is it him kicking upwards, and then the opponent normally gets knock downed to the floor right?

Yes, but you don't have to wait for the normal attack to finish it's animation. It 'cancels' into the special attack.

A low hit where it knocks the opponent down.

I think this might be a little too advanced for me still, but I'm writing it down, so I can practice it when time is right. I think I get the gist of it though. Do a normal attack, and before the animation is finished, I can already start inputting the commands for the special attack, and thus combining them?

Yes it is. If input correctly it will combo.

And thus, the two attacks combinds into a combo. Got it.

Okay, is Balrog (US) = Bison (EU) ?

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Can't get in either.

 

[SolidAwesome]

i have been getting matches no problem now. This game is super fun man.

 

[Sillution]

I fucking suck with charge characters/moves. Always have so I don't use charge characters.

However I'm trying to learn Chun Li, but I'm having a lot of trouble doing Kikoken & Spinning Bird Kick. Everytime I pull it off I have no idea what I did differently to do it. Getting frustrated.

I'm trying chun as well and I have no clue how to do this bnb combo of charging down back while doing Crouch LK, Crouch LP, Standing LP, into spinning bird kick. I'm awful with charges.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Add me on CFN:

HeebyGB

 

[Sgtpepper89]

Did the server just die? I couldnt' send my match results.

Seems like it (I lost my game so thank god )

 

[T.O.P]

And back to Diablo 3 we go

Hoping for something better tomorrow i guess Game is really fun when it works tho

 

[E_Darkness]

Seems like it (I lost my game so thank god )

(same lol)

ALSO FUCK OFF NECALLI ON ROUND 29 OF NORMAL

 

[Bizazedo]

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";195645686]Add me on CFN:

Hilarious.

Added. Weirdly, though, when I capitalized properly it couldn't find you. All lowercase did.

 

[Lyte Edge]

So was there any way to get Hot Ryu on PC?

AFAIK only Chun-Li's alt was avaialble to pre-orders. I'm just wondering if these pre-order outfits will show up for purchases next month or if they'll make people wait longer. I found someone selling the code for Cammy's alt for the PS4 version at a "decent" price and jumped on that, because I'm insane, but I can't do that on PC right now.

 

[Pachimari]

Me and Hubb tested out how to add us who have symbols in our names, and it worked. So tomorrow, I'm probably gonna send PM's out to people I have already added. Because you guys need to add me to CFN by my PSN id and not my CFN name.

I'm gonna spend the day tomorrow on reading up on Street Fighter articles, and setting small goals.

 

[Spikematic]

So after waiting for around 15 mins to get a match I tried to join a battle lounge. No luck there either so I created one myself and managed to get 2 matches, yay! After both matches though, I got those failed to send data to server thingee messages. Sigh... -_- Are most of you getting matches without issues now?

 

[GootecksShimmy]

No points bug right now sucks. Restarting game to see if it fixes it.

Makes me sad because I was on a 10 game win streak. *sigh*

 

[ACE 1991]

So, over/under on CAPCOM actually fixing ranked mode by adding a punishment for quitters?

A cammy earlier did a crush counter punish on me:

i think he meant the stHK hitbox mostly hits aa as opposed to crush that goes straight fwd

will try that combo though

soooo glad i got that free BB cammy code

Does playing in lobbies give Fight Money?

Doubtful since you can abuse it too easily.
