I have yet to fight a FANG but as a Gief I am not looking forward to it.

I will tell you now, it's a tough matchup for Zangief.

Normally your V-Skill is great because you can absorb hits and fireballs and still keep you moving forward.

But because of that poison, it makes that tactic a lot harder since white health doesn't regenerate while in poison. Don't be afraid to get in close and use your fully charged St.HP or light SPD right after he's thrown a trap and you're close by.
 
Holy shit this Ken was annoying. He seriously kept jumping around all the damn time. I'm glad I sent his ass back to being a rookie while I turned into Super Bronze.

SFV has changed me

I just had a match against a cammy (they may have rage quitted) that they have bodied me in round 1, I scrapped a win in round 2, totally bodied them in round 3

Good shit! Keep them raging, Sho.
 
*sigh* can't do it, just can't beat fang.

So who do you use? Pattern recognition and making the appropriate reads is on you.

But knowing your tools and options so you can properly assess risk/reward is a conversation we can have.

It's just a matter of FANG being super strong against Mika really. He's a zoner that can stay close as well and has strong escape options ( that ex escape thing is straight stupid )
 
I see the word meaty getting thrown a lot here but I seriously dont understand it. Is it just a way of saying a heavy punch/kick on wakeup? If not, what is a meaty? What are chun's meaty ( if anyone knows any)?

Because I do for example HP on their wakeup but sometimes they light jab it and they hit me instead.. its so weird

Chun's b.HP is a good button to use as a meaty. First, its safe on block. Second if the opponent tried to press a button you'll get a crush counter, which you can then do HK legs for decent damage. If you have VTrigger you can get more off of it but just the HK Legs is decent and easy to pull off.
 
Will jump into ranked matches tonight. Still not feeling confident but time to stop being a baby.

If anyone wants to play some easy win matches this weekend, add me.

Game is godlike, but the online itself is frustrating me for a bunch of reasons.

First off, when asked for my region, I put in Peru (because that's where I am from, obviously). But I don't know if it's because of that or my router's IP but I'm only getting matches with people that are either from Peru, Brazil, Argentina or Chile. My internet speed is pretty good, so that shouldn't be happening. I feel like I've gotten locked out from getting matches with the rest of the world.

And my second gripe, and probably my biggest, is that it feels like the game doesn't care with whom it pairs you with on ranked matches. From the 10 fights I've had today, half of those have been against 3500 something LP players, and I'm definitely not 3500 something LP material yet, so it feels unrewarding to lose against them. For reference, I'm usually at around 1000 LP.

So yeah, great gameplay, but the online is all over the place. I definitely didn't have this experience in the betas. What makes me anxious is reading the tweet from SFVserver saying that "there aren't any more online issues" when it's clearly worse than the beta was. I only hope it gets better.
 
no amount of fixes people come up with seem to work, maybe its time to just admit that the issue is on Capcom's end even if some (lots?) of people say it works fine for them >_>
 
Thanks to you and Reizo for the very clear explanations!!

That's actually pretty smart, I need to incorporate it in my gameplan now

Of note is that they can use an armored moved to take through your attack, or an invincible move to go through it as well, so you should be careful even if they can't just hit you normally with a jab or something. You probably knew this though, just saying.

And like Miku said, some moves work better than others for meaties depending on the situation, so experiment as you like.
 
So first time trying normal survival, pick my main Chun. I get Bison down to 5% health and i had 60%, I get comboed and couldn't do EX SBK cause I panicked. Tried twice now and lost to him. Good times.
 
I love Nash, but I can't wait for and am starting to miss Guile. I still play a little too defensively for Nash to be able to be all he can be in my hands me thinks.
 
*sigh* can't do it, just can't beat fang.

I'm struggling a little bit against all the characters that are either new or new to me just a little bit. Right now, I'm pretty free to people playing FANG, Laura, Mika or Karin.

I did figure Rashid out for the most part already, so that's something at least. Everybody else in the cast my Ultra knowledge is giving me something to go off of at least.

I haven't fought a single Nicalli I don't think. I'm surprised he's not more popular.

Do you know if Ryu/Ken's DPs are invincible on startup? These guys give me hell, if their shoryukens arent invincible on wakeup then that b.HP could be pretty good to bait it, get a crush counter into legs and CA...

Thanks for the tip too
 
the streak is over. against a rashid that spammed the wall jump missile kick thing, had no idea how to deal with it. im not bitching about the spamming, whatever works, I just had no idea how to deal with it, never seen a rashid before lol

Mobile rashid's fuck me up too, karin has absolutely no good anti-airs, even cr. HP gets beaten by jump ins.

Already didn't know poison blocked white health regen, so that's good to know.

Just be glad it's not Chun or Nash

Now that will be hell

Nash makes me a die a little bit on the inside every time I walk him to the corner and he teleports his way out.
 
The only time I liked Blanka was when I smacked down a top 100 one with Ibuki scoring a perfect in the 1st round. Even ended up throwing that shit on YouTube I was that happy.
 
just got bodied by a Bison that was just as bad as Level 30 normal survival bison, also i'm still in the rookie league stop pitting me against super bronze ffs
 
Necalli is actually an interesting character, been playing casuals with a friend and I kind of like his style. Don't know how to follow up Crush counter st.HK > st.HK > jab though.
 
Hey guys, nooby question. How does cross play work?

I want to get the game on my PC, but some of my friends will have it on PS4, will it be easy to lobby up and stuff regardless, or is it just basic matchmaking cross play?

You can set up a lounge and invite your friends by using their CFN. So yeah, its very easy to set it up

You look them up on CFN and add them to your favorite list. From there it's pretty straight forward.
 
I just can't beat Bison with Mika. Anything I try to do after blocking his flip kick gets countered instantly. I can't do shit.
