Isn't that just frametraps? In fact, my light will beat your medium if we press it at the same time.

God damn Giefs grab attacks take so much damage.
It's such a stressful encounter. I have to be super careful against them. You can only make like 2 mistakes a best before you are nearly KO'd.
Hardest character to fight against imo. At least against people who know how to play him.

Use cr HP for antiair, it sometimes trades but you will always do more damage and it looks sick. Also I saw that MP (or was it cr MP?), axe is a weird target combo that doesn't actually combo but it flows really well (it's even in the commands section of the game) and might catch people by surprise.
HK, cr MP xx Inferno is one of the easiest, sickest combos of the game. In V-Trigger you can add EX ball and EX stomp to blow away 50% or more of health. Bison is cool.

Yeah cr HP is my go to anti-air. I didn't know about the EX ball or EX stomp after the Inferno BnB though. I'll have to start working that in. My biggest use of V-trigger has been cheap wins with the teleporting devil's reverse.

I have a cheezy strategy for using M.Bison.
Do the Head press (the d,u+kick move) and move slightly forward of the enemy while you're in the air. Right before you're going to land, move back. They'll do an anti-air in the wrong direction, and you can hit them with the Skull diver which if timed right can be followed up with st.mp xx cr.mp xx medium inferno. You can even do CA after the inferno if you have it.
Yes. df.HP xx cr.mp xx inferno/scissor/fireball.
You can also do the same with St.HK instead of df.HP, as you pointed out.
you can also chain st.mp xx cr.mp xx inferno/scissor/fireball. Great for follow up on jump-ins or after the head press.
A trophy for clearing survival hell mode with all the characters seems pretty fun

How can I cheese survival with Ryu? I just wanna get it over with. Lol
LP dragon punch, dash to push into corner, spam LP dragon punch.

it may be easier to get to gold in the long run as people hit platinum, diamond etc
I also thought that this would be easy to Platinum but seeing that Gold League trophy just ruined any chance to get it. Maybe I might get good enough but I still doubt it.
Messaged you with a hearty congratulations for being a good opponent
Maybe try working in some tick throws? Make the opponent block your full combo a couple of times to condition them, then next time do a micro-walk after a couple of hits and command grab.
If they're just holding up to get out of your grabs, you need to find a move that stuffs them on the ground; i.e. a normal that has high priority and possibly links into other stuff, or at least one that you can use repeatedly to apply relatively safe pressure. I hear Mika has a tough neutral game, but there's gotta be something out there...
I'm not even a Mika player (hell, I only just started playing the game last night), but seeing your posts breaks my heart... Keep your chin up!
It was easier getting gold than it is beating Survival on Hard with my main.

I'm wary of everyone who has a 5+ winstreak these days.

Not sure why but at certain times my connection in game just becomes shit. I usually get full bars when I'm fighting someone and pretty much no lag at all but I'm having trouble even connecting to opponents at the moment.
Pretty sure it's not my internet. Speed is fine and so is my latency.
Strange.

It probably sounds worse than it is. Most of my complaint posts are born from frustrating matches against better players ( several of my Ryu/Necalli posts were after loses to 3k+ players ) or where I lose because I lack knowledge about frame data or whatever. There's plenty of Mika players in the top 100, so clearly she's not as useless as I might feel she is in certain matchups. I just ain't at the level where I can play her properly against other players above a certain threshhold

Inching my way up the leaderboards, had a good day today and got to 2800 LP with Karin. Still a long way away from Gold though.
Ran some long sets against a Gief today. It went poorly for the Gief. The more I play the matchup the more I feel like it's in Karin's favor and significantly so. Gief doesn't seem to be able to deal with s.MK well without having to make a read. You can't do something like reaction b.HP it for the armor, it gets stuffed. Karin's sweep also punishes so many whiffed Gief normals and is long enough range that Gief can't get a punish off blocked ones. With SPD's being a longer startup in SF V as well, you can also play a more aggressive game than you'd expect, Karin's s.MP and c.MP are +frames on block so you can apply some pressure without worrying about eating a reversal SPD.

I have no idea how to play Vega, I know several small combos, a couple of v-trigger cancels into supers, but I have no idea how to use his v-reversal. I notice that I turtle up a lot and have hard time opening people up.
Maybe picking one of the most technical characters to main (because of the claw/no claw modes) was not the best choice. I do like his moves, I just suck at being offensive with him.
Currently at 815 LP with him but moved to causal matches so I don't have to deal with losing a butt load of points with losing streaks.Thinking about moving on to Chun or Laura once I get a hold of Vega. Don't want to let this character go he's too damn cool.

I'd say Birdie's is pretty high up there. Faster walking speed, higher damage on everything, armor on start-up for two of his special moves (with increased hit count now too), can combo into CA after a Bull Horn from anywhere on the screen when close enough and his draining V-Meter can be refilled with donuts.
They're all punishable if their spacing isn't on point. Only safe when cancelled by V-Trigger or if hit by them at their tippy-toes.
I beat someone with a 20+ winstreak and he didn't RQ. I sat there in shock
Guys, watch Alex Valle's stream. He is incredibly helpful to the chat, answers so many questions, and is generally a good dude. Great asset to the community. http://www.twitch.tv/leveluplive
Valle went straight to the top of my list of fav SF V streamers these days. Guy has a great attitude, doesn't get frustrated like other people when he looses, is super helpful answering questions and is of course a fantastic player to top it off.

Definitely sounds like Alex Valle all right. Ryu and Rashid mains should definitely check out this guy. (Granted, his Ryu is still better than his Rashid imo)

could never
Depends... was it a sarcastic GG?It was so weird I had a 9 match winstreak last night. Someone beat me fair and square... and I didn't disconnect. I just him a message "GG"
Is there something wrong with me?
XDVery nice dude, that clutch play can go a long way.
So this is the first fighting game I'm actually attempting to get competitive in. I've been playing about 20+ casual matches per night but man, I'm a long ways away from "getting gud".
Is it better to just keep playing casuals to learn game mechanics or should I jump into web tutorials and focus on training mode?

3 in a row for this noob!
Man if this game does anything right its that it fuels that desire to convert your lucky mashes into genuine timing and skill.

Check out the OP here for various helpful resources aimed at beginners and beyond.
Play a match and try to learn from it, maybe watch the replay. What hit you and why? Did you play the match-up right? Do you know what's safe and what isn't? Things you should be asking yourself.
morning. Any easy BnBs for Chun? Messed around with her and really enjoyed her kit but couldnt link ANYTHING to combo at all lol
Also any easy ªNecalli stuff besides the old j.HP, HP xx Foot stomp, c.MP xx bezerker barrage? I can never actually finish with barrage because I cant put a charge into a combo, so my combo is always very anti climatic with that little c.MP ;_;

Really good write up. I'll be using this for reference
Shit I haven't really thought about checking out replays. I'll take a look!
Kinda jelly about the easy video sharing on PS4. I should try to do something similar on PC. Never done that before.
Also, one can search for matches WHILE being in one? What kinda sense does that make?
