What? Don't feel bad. Survival is horrible. Locking colors behind it is just dumb. I'm only doing Easy Survival. Hopefully you can buy colors in packs when the Store comes in March.

Ryu or Ken are your only hope.
I spent hours going through Survival Hell spamming Shoryuken. Did it.
It's not worth it honestly. You only get 20,000fm for around 2 hours of pain.

Don't be discouraged, man. Survival is bullshit as a whole.

I think the annoying Ken player is a gaffer.. Lol
I'm no expert, but I remember hearing some announcers during last years Evo stream say that that Ibuki was kind of a crutch character for a lot of people in SF4 because you could abuse stuff with her without actually learning the fundamentals of the game. Sounds like you were in Ibuki player, so maybe that's whats making it hard for you to adapt to SFV? Maybe you can try building up by grinding with Ryu for a bit to get into the rhythm of the game?

Woo finally reached bronze! Now to learn some combos.
Ibuki wasn't a crutch! She was a lifestyle choice! D:
After playing Street Fighter for YEARS all the way through SFIII, playing Ken got booooooring... When they introduced Ibuki in New Generation, I don't know, I made the switch then and didn't look back.
Liberating to play as a character without a fireball... (With lots of fun mix-ups)
God they better not ruin Ibuki...
Also... Also... I want her (non-EX) neck breaker to slide under fireballs... ... Make it happen Capcom!

Beating survival is more or less a dice roll after Stage 20. Outside of specific characters with guaranteed cheese, it doesn't mean you're good or bad at the game. Just that the computer didn't read and react perfectly to your inputs that particular time.
I know, although we had air projectiles! Just so goddamn fun to play, it's not the difficulty or the crutch to pick a character in V, it's just that none of them are as fun to play. Although....
You might be right. I mean, when I got going, this was freaking abuse of just about everything:

Damn I hope she comes to 5 somewhat unscathed.
It is pretty fucking weird that normal survival goes from the easiest thing in the world to "fuck you 30% Bison combos" right away.

No, you probably do need to take a break, perhaps a day or two to get your mind off the game. Or at the very least stay off ranked for a while, and only play with friends, and don't focus on anything other than just the fight in front of you. I've been in that place several times before, and once you get into that mood nothing goes right, and you are certainly not going to feel like you're making progress, but if you keep playing and practicing, then you will make progress in my experience.
Also, I personally can't really do big combos in a match .. most of mine are just a normal or two cancelled into a special, which is actually a step down from where I was with my main in USFIV. I am currently working on several longer combos, but I don't think I've hit them in an actual match yet, as I just tend to forget to use them. It's not stopping me from having fun, though, win or lose.
Did you rely on vortex in SF4?
Coming from SF3, Ibuki didn't play or feel anything like I wanted or expected in SF4. I'm sure she'll be closer to her SF3 incarnation in this than SF4.

I mean... he mained Ibuki.
There isn't an Ibuki player on the earth that didn't rely on vortex. That was the character.

Even in Hell the A.I doesn't know how to react to DPs? Theres hope for us all then...well us with DPs.
And are you wi-fi?
nay, my pc is an inch from the router so it's hardwired! just glad i can play, even if the game hard crashed on me twice out of four matches... at least it's progress hah
I love Ibuki and didn't play that way. It was boring.
It wasn't the character, that was the game.
With the way SFV is being designed, I really doubt she'll come into the game with her SF4 shenanigans intact
(thank god)
Nah, I played Ibuki very differently than all the vids I saw, which I could always tell through playing anyway as even if I got beat, I always took a chunk of that first round early. Pretty much liked to play with space, counter what they tried to close in (neckbreaker, sliding MK, overhead, kunai, air throw or the double foot stomp) and then just get aggressive in the follow up.
Could always tell a player was getting rattled when random focus attacks happened all over the place, not realizing that neckbreaker is also armour breaking :lol
Good times.
EDIT: I thought Vortex was that command grab. Just looked it up and this is the first time I knew about it! Defo wasn't doing that all over a downed opponent.
Yeah, only just saw it right now and that looks dull as fuck. Jump, kunai, do shit... Snore.
I just got to silver. This is what I feel like right now:
Edit: There's already a few mods that give ryu and ken beards and change karin and mikas hair to black, so swapping the colors should be super simple.
There`s already a cheat that lets you easily win survival in offline, but at the very least I guarantee there will be one where you can swap the defaults to the color of your choice (but on your opponents screen they will see the default)

Don't give up mate. I should really link you to a video, where a guy explains to you how you can feel like you have regressed since last week but in fact you have grown as a fighting player. You can player worse than the day before but as long as you are learning and practicing you might as well be progressing.
Up for some games?
Get used to it. Though on the bright side if you lose you don't lose many points... but if you win... $$$.

I haven't had a crash in 30 hours, so perhaps it's something with your installation
or I've just been lucky so far
A couple of things you can check is verifying the game cache in Steam (right-click on the game in your library, select properties, then local files, and then verify), and you can try updating your drivers, most importantly your audio and graphics drivers. Also, make sure that your OS is up-to-date, as IIRC some people ran into issues with the beta because they had not been running Windows Update in a while.
Finally, if the game is crashing every 15-20 minutes or so (it doesn't sound like it, though), then you need to turn off a particular touch-pad related service. I can look it up for you if that is the case.

PC players prone to being bots/tool assisted? Some really erratic movement (not lag) going on with some PC players.
I've got some time off work, not back until Tuesday now and other than some beers, not much to do. Might try re-learning the game from scratch and see how it goes.

Nope. Only thing they can do is alt+tab and make you feel laggy.
Game can also speed up if the netcode gets outta sync a bit, which also happens with that alt+tab apparently.

It still requires a small amount of zoning and getting lucky. I actually failed the first time at level 59.
Birdie, Bison and Nash are the most difficult to fight in Hell mode. Just have faith in your DP's.
It really wasn't the game. Like four characters had meaningful vortexes and they were only the top tier of the game in AE 2012.
Ibuki is the only character that had her vortex game left in tact after the jump to Ultra. Everyone else got fucked by delayed wake-up and had to play a more footsie oriented game than before.
I have the opposite experience, playing against most PS4 players involves a lot of frame skipping.

Anyone else come across a Ken player online named Spoontz? He's rank 972 or something. I've beat him 3 times over the past couple of days and he's rage quit each time. He's a really below average Ken. Scumbag.
HOLY CRAP! Not only did I finally get 3 wins in a row, I've got a 5-win streak going! I seriously just always assumed I'd get to two wins, and then totally freak out. I wish I could say I was coldly and calmly kicking people's asses, but it's more I'm doing unsafe crap and no one knows how to avoid it (thank you, vacuum + SPD / CA). Somehow I beat a FANG when I have no experience with the character.
He also has the most cheerful win messages for some reason, and I find them amazing. Always complementing and/or seeming to offer sincere advice to the loser. I can't tell if he's crazy cheerful, or just crazy. I will never stop thinking his CA animation is hilarious. That freaking grin, man!

There's this silver rank Bison player called Tyrael or something, from France, who does the same exact thing. What a loser.

lol he didn't say she wasn't fun, but that her play style allowed her to ignore fundamentals, which was true. It was not fun guessing 50/50 over and over again on wake up versus Ibuki or el fuete. I'm sure it's fun for the offensive player.
Came across a fellow Peruvian, but he ragequit as soon as I won lol. His CFN is GATAZO

I seriously thought chrome was hanging up when watching that video so I scrolled up and down and paused it a few times.....If only that were the case.
Did a youtube playlist with survival hard mode, currently have Ryu, Ken, Cammy, Chun-Li and Laura done.
I will update regularly with more characters.
I hope the videos can be useful to you.
Here's the link https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ2bHV5QJct40QbaaFzM0dlBd29zMudqf

I started out Super Bronze today, then de-ranked and ranked-up again at least five times, and ended up pretty much with the same LP as when I started. It wasn't very productive, but I've had a lot of fun.
