nah, talking about how the shoryuken connects lol
This actually isn't true though and shoryus can be blocked low or high, Low block blocks everything except jumping attacks and overheads. Standing block blocks everything except low attacks.
You want to block low as much as possible because things that need to be blocked low (sweeps, crouching normals) are harder to react to than things that need to be blocked high (jump ins and overheads)
Not to sound pedantic, but this is just for target combos. Other combos that require links will actually work very differently, so be careful!

Ugh, I really need to learn the Vega Vs. Laura matchup. Can't do my usual mobile Vega shenanigans since she can scoop him out of the sky incredibly quick.

I thought so, would be to easy if it just would be that, but at least I got the
back+mp -> hp -> anything (i.e. fb, dp or hurricane kicks!)
st.mk -> st.hk -> dp
down, it connects and I get hits of 9, still practicing to get it down more easily.

I found a really easy way to clear survival mode on normal:
1. Pick Dahlsim
2. Start the match with a standing HK.
3. Do a MP fire arching over the screen.
4. Spam standing HK until the fire hits.
5. Repeats steps 3 & 4 until you win.
The AI doesn't know what to do because if they jump then the fire hits them but if they come forward then the standing HK hits or keeps them at a distance if they block it. I passed it on my 2nd try using this method and had perfects for probably half of the matches lol.

So I started putting in a little time with this game today. Despite eyeballing at least a third of the cast before launch, Dhalsim is the one that's really resonating with me right now. I also cleared the "story" mode for the fight money and the unlocks, such as they are.
I also spent some time trying to unlock colors for Sim. Got through easy and the first 26-27 of normal without much issue, but didn't finish normal. Kind of sucks you have to get through the entire thing before the colors unlock. Ah well, I'm sure it'll get better as I learn more.
That said, not having a trial mode to learn moves and basic BnB combos is fucking criminal. I know it's coming and that there are resources for that stuff online (which I intend to use) and that the lack of features has probably been beaten to death. I'm in this weird area where I love fighting games and also tend to suck ass at them. I'll seek information out, but I feel bad for anyone who expected this game to walk them through their chosen character a bit more.

Any good bison players add me...need help against him, these scrubs online are on autopilot with him because he has good normals and can cancel specials once he has Vtrigger.

Oh, that's what you mean? Basically when Ryu parries the limb, he recovers before Dhalsim can pull his arms back so that's why he can still hit them. Crouch HP into Super also works, but I chose HP SRK because that would be the better punish. I tried cr. HP, V Trigger, Denjin but I never got that to work and it may not be possible.

GGs Kureransu, your Laura is difficult to fight.

anybody else constantly getting disconnected from the server?
good games.
That was completely obnoxious. 95% of the moves you did were completely safe on block.
I know i don't know FANG much as i've only played 3 of them, but the most i could do was trade with jab unless i got an ex move off.
EDIT: Don't get me wrong you played the only way you could play to best me in those matches, I'm not bitter about your play, it was more of how I had next to no options. Not to mention the occasional dropped punish combo.
I'm just bummed i couldn't figure out anything to do against any of you multi-hitting super safe on block normals.
Looks like i'm going to have to go to training with FANG to see what his weaknesses are. Thanks.

Nope.
Color 3 is for Easy Survival
Colors 4, 5, and 6 are for Normal Survival.
Colors 7, 8, and 9 are for Hard Survival
Hell Survival gives you a title, it may be character specific. I'm not sure.

This is great.
Do you have a nice write up for Nash? Im trying to not play Ken all the time like I have since SF2, haha.
Even after 25 years, Im still not good with Ken.

Well, I learned the hard way what moves for FANG are safe.
When I do Sotoja (Poison Thrust) and you block it, that's a punish. Light Ryobenda (Trap) is punishable I think by her EX elbow.
You want to get in on FANG and stay on him, his HP is low and only has his command dash to escape with, which is not throw invincible.
I was a bit obnoxious with those HK marching knees. I was trying to see if it was a frame trap.
I asked earlier but are you the Moaradin thats like up in the 20s in the leaderboard?
Just cleared Hot Ryu's Hard Survival course after several attempts today (died at 40, 41, 44). Now own all of his colors. Couple of nice blue shades for the last colors (and a silver PSN trophy), worth the rage. 
If I can give any advice, this is: for the later fights (30+) try to keep distance as much as possible and spam weak (slow) Hadoukens. The CPU will block some, eat some, sometimes try to close the distance. It helps immensely to not take much damage and be able to get away with less life ups (I bought defense ups for the 30+ fights, before that it's pretty easy so I bought attack ups). If the CPU gets close, m.shoryken helps a ton, as does overhead neutral jump with fierce punch followed by fierce shoryuken.

Gief...can sorta parry.

If he's getting matched up with ToolAssisted, probably.

I think I'm too soft to play this online. I hate getting trampled by the pros. Getting 7 hit combos off on me and doing cross ups and shit. It just makes me feel really really dumb and slow and I don't think it's something I can just practice and fix. I just react slower than these guys move.
I just know 10 seconds in a match that I stand absolutely no chance, not even random luck exists when going against some of these people. I might as well just stand there idle and take the loss.
I guess I just take it too seriously.
I should stick to teamed bases shooting games. I somehow don't mind getting trampled there.

That Karin bot that Mike Ross fought? lmao, why? That video was hilarious. I still wonder why people lose to that thing. Can't you just hit them and stall the timer?
that's the 5% that's punishable. everything else that is puts you out of range when you recover.

Connections seem awful tonight even on full blue bars. Probably half of my matches I saw pretty bad rollback lag. Was fine last night. Anyone else experiencing this?

Awesome, seems like the black loading screen before and after matches is soooo much shorter now.
He's not that hard to beat once you figure out the pattern

Your offense was wrecking me until I figured out that you grab after neutral jumps.

I have no respect for players that have to use a bot to win. No exceptions....
Super armor doesn't equal parry.
Any good vids of Gief players?
I hope he plays pretty well.
His v-skill is a parry. Results from it are...eh
He doesnt use a bot to win, he uses a bot to troll. There's a difference. Sucks for those affected and im not defending it, just clarifying the goal
Game is starting to aggravate me.
I don't know if it's because I'm older (slower reaction time), using a controller (slow fingers) or lag, but 20% of the time when I block, it doesn't block.
With a controller, I pull off about 60-70% of what I want to do. Errors result in me getting combo'd or losing the match.
With a joystick, I can pull off about 90% of what I want to do. Unfortunately I'm waiting for my parts to come in before I start using my ps4 joystick vs ps3 joystick.

As someone coming from MKX(Im pretty good at it) how can I get better at this game. Its a whole different beast in terms of trying to counter opponents and knowing how to open people up.
Doesnt help that inputs feel really finicky compared to Mortak Kombat. Im using Nash, any tips would be appreciated.

Hmm pretty sure no one is really having that problem, especially that bad. Maybe check to make sure your NAT settings are open?
Everything is fine. I can play some friends in Battle Lounge now and then (when it works) but Ranked or Casual? Nope.
I can find matches in MKX on PC better than this. And that port is pure shit.
Sounds like an Internet issue, I've just fight 6 online in like 20 min
Actual gameplay is peer to peer. If your matches are consistently bad you might want to run some diagnostics on your connection. Speed + bandwidth means little, stability and open ports mean everything.
