Anyone in Australia wanna run some sets?

CFN ID: FGTorpy

Hey mate, send me a friend request. Im at work now but will be playing tonight.

I play as Bison, with about 1100LP at the moment.

Im in Adelaide and need some better connection matches against some non-Ryus and Kens!

No wonder Mike Ross plays Birdie he's easy to win as. Just beat a ranked 46 Necalli with 6000LP with him.

Was Mike Ross good once? Most of the time I see him play (on his show, a SFIV tourney/show in Germany and in a recent exhibition SFV tournament), he's getting bodied pretty badly.

It's always interesting to see what gender people pick for you online


Interesting advice, with Peach shooter being unsafe on block I never figured to try it like that :3
As for my comment earlier, I'm just teasing of course :3

The secret for me to enjoying the mode is to just treat it as extended training mode for the first 25 or whatnot levels and practice combos on the AI until it gets to the point it fights back. I could still do without the massive time-sink though

It's all good. Good luck!

 

[Ragnorok64]

My padhacked stick just disconnected mid-match. It seems to be fine now but I'm starting to get worried.

 

[Dariso]

One of the perks should be a continue. Of course it should cost a ridiculous amount of points though, a good amount of strategy/planning to get and maybe only being able to be purchased once per run.

You know, having just lost to necalli with chun-li and then against bison with ken in normal survival, why they didn't add something like this? This fuckin' mode man....

 

[SolicitorPirate]

I wish I got into fighting games sooner. The kind of accomplishment I feel when doing well in SFV is pretty special

Birdie hits like a truck

 

[Omnistalgic]

My PS4 is still on and I see your invitations but I can't play right now. My wife and I are about to do some late night shopping and I still have my PS4 on just to watch replays before I go. She doesn't want me playing because if I get started I'll kind of lose my mind and want to keep going. Especially if things don't go my way. Definitely want to play some other time though.

NP man...we'll duke it out soon lol

 

[bob_arctor]

Calling it a night @ 1150LP. Not too bad a grind so far. FANG did work for me yesterday. On Birdie now since it's been a while since I used him. He was my first main in Beta 1. Ranked is pretty meh overall though so I will go back to Battle Lounge starting tomorrow night.

Oh, and the Hayabusa buttons are very solid. Liking them a lot. Definitely an improvement over the Kuros and snappy response like Sanwas.

 

[Movalpolos]

I need to improve my standing game with Mika. There are so many moves I'm not taking advantage of. I just can't seem to find a way to sneak in that fierce launcher. having a hard time learning how to use that forward medium to grab.

Even wearing a Winter Coat, Cammy is like 'fuck pants.'

And the world is better for it.

 

[Zombegoast]

Was Mike Ross good once? Most of the time I see him play (on his show, a SFIV tourney/show in Germany and in a recent exhibition SFV tournament), he's getting bodied pretty badly.

He made it to Top 8 once in Evo and beat some unknown player called Gamerbee.

 

[cordy]

Finally made it to UltraBronze.

I don't know what it is today but I got much better with my Ken. It's not just the fixed ranking but I was beating the crap out of Silvers and everything. I'm getting the rhythm. Feels great to level up.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Man, I want these costumes of Rashid and Laura.

Top 4 at EVO 2010. He's beaten Daigo before as well.

Anyone East coast trying to play a few sets?

I'll add you to a lobby.

 

[Trace]

What is my best option on wakeup for Bison?

yeah id is tactics

 

[FiggyCal]

yeah id is tactics

Give me like 2 minutes

 

[Mupod]

What is my best option on wakeup for Bison?

Good question. Theoretically ex stomp could get you out of something but it has literally never done anything for me but get stuffed.

jab into psycho ball to get them the hell off me works I guess.

 

[TheTylerRob]

What is my best option on wakeup for Bison?

Block, wait for a punishable moment. Use v reversal if they're burning meter to pressure.

 

[iamcenok]

Man, I want these costumes of Rashid and Laura.

Those look great.
I'd rock that Laura alt.

 

[Camjo-Z]

All the scrubs must be out tonight, I've gone from ~300 LP to 901 with Ryu in the past hour and I'm not even good. Even got a ragequit from a shitty Karin in there too!

 

[FiggyCal]

How do I unlock colors? Do i have to beat all the rounds of survival? That sounds like an awful chore.

 

[Hi i'm Caleb]

Anyone up for matches? My in game name is caleb_plays. I play Karin

 

[Femto.]

How do I unlock colors? Do i have to beat all the rounds of survival? That sounds like an awful chore.

If you think that's bad, I hope you only want to unlock the colors of one character.

Spoiler

You have to go through easy-hard modes of survival for EACH chacaracter to unlock their colors

 

[FiggyCal]

yeah id is tactics

Add me instead. LMCFIG.

It says it can't find your id.

 

[KingBroly]

Easy unlocks 3
Normal unlocks 4-6
Hard unlocks 7-10
Survival unlocks a Title

Per Character Costume

They'll probably charge Fight Money per Color, too

 

[GorillaJu]

Man, I want these costumes of Rashid and Laura.

Hah that bottom part says they originally wanted character's faces to get beaten up and have their clothing tear as they take damage but to keep the rating low they passed on it even though it qas visually helpful. It made you feel really bad when it was a female character so he made it less exaggerated.

 

[SneakersSO]

Hit me up. Sneakers on CFN

 

[Automatisch]

Died at the same spot in Hell mode, 93 Necalli. This is beyond frustrating. I hate how after fighting the mouth-breathing AI for 5 seconds it suddenly goes Super Saiyan on you. I also hate the changing stat supplements. I really hope they work on Survival in the next patch because it's not fun compared to other games' survival modes, and you get jack shit for losing even if you're right at the finish.

Also each of their costumes.

Have the Hot Ryu pre-order bonus?

Beat easy, normal and hard survivals 2x with Ryu in order to unlock all his colors

 

[Emperor Bohe]

Man, I want these costumes of Rashid and Laura.

I want dat classic SF1 birdie

 

[enzo_gt]

Turn off the Kanye West and git gud fam.

I just want to cheese my way through but that's not possible with every character =[

 

[Edgeward]

I'm still lost what to do with Rashid as Mika

 

[kobu]

Add me instead. LMCFIG.

It says it can't find your id.

one sec this battle lounge has been loading for like 2 minutes

 

[jett]

Well I set up my router as a DMZ host, totes open.

No dice.

I give up.

 

[Femto.]

Fucking great.

I'm never going to get all these character colors.

 

[KingBroly]

I'm never going to get all these character colors.

Don't worry. Capcom will give you the option of spending your hard earned fight money on costume colors, I'm sure of it.

 

[SolicitorPirate]

The last time I fought a Mika, she basically shut down a lot of my movement options with her anti air throw

ggs for real this time, Bizazedo. I don't think I've ever been grabbed so much in my life. It took me way too long to find an air-to-air that beat headstomp, too. I'm gonna have to find an answer for crossup EX Devil's Reverse as well. That thing is godlike.

I have a couple questions if you don't mind. How tight of a blockstring is Devil's Reverse into jab? I tried DPing in between but got stuffed every time. How fast is the recovery on V-Trigger dash as well? It was near impossible to react to even with my own V-Trigger.

 

[watdaeff4]

I have discovered that I'm much better when I drink as I play.

 

[Femto.]

Don't worry. Capcom will give you the option of spending your hard earned fight money on costume colors, I'm sure of it.

But they'll be sensible and offer individual character color unlocks for all colors of all costumes at a reasonable price/FM rate right?

RIIIGHT?!!!!1

Capcpom pls

you are bananas for even trying but I totally agree, although survival could be fun with just some simple changes. It's very very halfassed even for a mode that is traditionally one of the laziest last minute additions to any fighter. I originally thought it'd be a persistent upgrades thing kind of like Xrd's master of medals but yeah I dunno.

Cutting the match requirements to 10-15-20-25 and drastically increasing the difficulty would be fine. Giving partial rewards would make me at least try the harder modes. An endless survival that awarded FM based on score might be nice...I mean why even have score if it does nothing. I thought of all these simple changes in like 2 minutes, I'm sure they could come up with something better.

edit: I just want yellow Bison dammit.

Definitely, I needed the practice against Nec. GG's .

Depends where DR hits, but it can be extremely plus.

As for V-trigger dash, dunno, I have to look it up. He can be jabbed out of it if you time it right dot dot dot.

Capcpom pls

Considering you get 10k FM per character story to go towards unlocking a 40k Story Costume...

How does 5-10k per Costume Color sound?

 

[GorillaJu]

Don't feel bad if you get bodied by Biza, his Bison was godlike in SF4 too.

I remember when he got a match on Excellent Adventures and they were like "okay that was a good Bison." Lol

I have a huge problem with the Bison match-up as Laura. His normals are so god damn good and dash throw is really strong.

 

[The Yo Tornado]

As for V-trigger dash, dunno, I have to look it up. He can be jabbed out of it if you time it right dot dot dot.

Every time I tried I got chucked across the screen so clearly my timing sucks, lol. And that's what I get for taking frame data as gospel. I saw Devil's Reverse was 0 on block so I started getting a little ahead of myself when it came to trying to punish it.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

just beat a super lagger by button mashing woooooo

 

[Boogalogist]

I just finished doing her actually. That HP butt jump move that lunges you forward... know the distance that it travels and then do it just far enough away that it still connects but a quick jab from the opponent won't cancel it. At the right distance and timing it can even go over a fireball. When you get to the last 5 matches, try to input as few commands as possible. When the opponent is knocked down and you're waiting for them to get up, either go over there immediately and throw them when they get up or press nothing until they get up and then do the HP butt slam. Sometimes to mix it up do jumping HK and as soon as you land do HP butt slam. Just make sure that after you do an attack that gets blocked, immediately start blocking and then jump back to get some distance between you. And again remember to input as few commands as possible.

lol @ comments, I'm enjoying my purchase
(and racking up that fight money)

Thanks for the tip! Appreciate it. I'll try it when I have some time off from online matches.
