It's just like, why do they make the first 3/4th of survival just a time waster? No one is going to lose to that, it's just a way of making it so that if you lose you forfeit another half an hour of your life.

They should do it Smash Bros. Style.
Survival to get the colors immediately, X number of matches to unlock it the long way 'round.

I've lost to wake-up super more times than I care to admit.
Yes my Rushido works great in ranked but not elsewhere lol. I gotta work on adjusting my game plans to get better. Thanks for the matches!

Man, i'm getting wrecked by every Karin I fight against.
I have no idea how to counter (what seems to be) her b&b combo. Playing with cammy, i get stunned so quickly i might as well not touching the stick.

That is exactly Capcoms plan!
I'm not buying any colors!
Unless they are 500FM or less (That's 10 online wins at 50FM per win)
Or 1280 wins at 50FM to unlocks colors 3-10 for all 16 characters, not counting alt costumes.

Tonight was the first time I had a stable connection (US) since I got the game on launch, I now feel like I can start learning the game. Maining Laura, I'm going to need to learn what do when getting up. I had no rage quitters. I faced one laggy swiss RYU with a 5 game win streak who seemed to know how to use his lag to win. Anyway the games alot more fun when you can acutally get fights on the regular.
So watching WNF and seriously only player 1 can choose to rematch or go character select? Seriously keep whoever did the battle system, the art and animation team (give them more budget), the sound and fx team and fire everyone else attached to this game.
So many decisions that just scream amateur.

Any guides for Karin?
It's just poorly done. I think that initially colors were going to be earned in trials but they axed it to shove the game out the door earlier.
I'd check out Floe's videos on YouTube when it comes to Karin. Dude is a beast with her. He even posted some new tech for her not to long ago.

Man, I know I say I wanted stuff like Arcade, Story Mode, World Tour and all these extra modes but Capcom's done a great job with the gameplay outside of that. If you're in the FGC then surely you'll only need this but at the same time this gameplay is unreal.
Where would you rank the gameplay of all the SF games?

They need to nerf that aerial kick Ryu has. There are tossups, but that move is ridiculous. He can be completely past you but it will connect.
I'm working with Karin myself. Hit me up if you'd like to get a battle lounge going for some training.

If he's completely past you, then it's easy to see that you have to block

Alpha 3 is my favorite because they went overboard with the features and options (ism select, multi-level supers, multiple supers to pick from at once, custom combos, etc.) but it's a competitive mess (crouch cancel infinite: the game).
SF3 is my least favorite, but only because I never really liked the parry.
I'm liking SF5 right now mostly because I feel like I'm just focusing on unique characters and match-ups for once instead of system mechanics.
I think every entry is respectable in its own way though.
Friend and I continue to try battle lounge every day, and every day we're greeted with the same error message: "Failed to join battle lounge".

I've only played 3-5
3>5>4
I think I just need 5 to have more characters before I can rank the gameplay on the whole.
Mika doesn't

Yeah, Gief doesn't have one. Cammy too.
When I'm getting steamrolled by a character so hard that I just feel lost in the match-up, I switch to the character I'm struggling against and try to learn about them that way. Maybe try playing Karin a bit to get a feel for what her options are and what is/isn't punishable.
Guys, I bought the game on steam and would like some tips.
This is the first fighting game that I bought so I have almost no idea how to play (I read some guides online and watched videos on the basics, but I still think like I'm not playing properly)
I don't know which character to main, so in just using Ryu and Ken now as I assume they're beginner friendly.
I played all my matches on my laptop's keyboard. It sucks a lot and my fingers hurt after a bit, so I bought an arcade stick (the venom PS4 one because it was cheap) which I should get early next week. Until then, I'll have to play on keyboard ;( I also bought the Prima official guide in hope that I could read it and learn some important things.
What should I do for now to improve quickly? Should I keep doing casual matches?

Training mode. Mess around in there, learn a few combos and then set the CPU to attack so you can practice blocking. Once you feel you've learned enough with your fighter then yeah, do some casual matches and get a feel for how others play. Read and react. Don't be predictable!

Starting to struggle keeping my rank up...
This is a very good starting point. I would recommend reading the opening chapters (the ones that are not character-specific), then dig into the chapter for the character you want to learn, then look at the one at the end that briefly breaks down each match-up.
EDIT: There's really only one thing you have to know in order to get better: learn how to look at your prior matches and study them, so that you can learn what worked and didn't work, and why. It seems obvious, but that's really all there is to it at a broad level. Don't just grind away at matches (win or lose) without trying to learn something from them. Put yourself in the shoes of your opponent and try to figure out why he's doing what he's doing. Since SF5 saves all your replays automatically, it doesn't take much effort to do.
A loss isn't a waste of time if you can learn something from it. Fighting games are competitive games; you can grind away execution and combos all you want in training mode, but it's more important to learn how to get the 1st hit of a combo than the 10th.

Ken definitely isn't beginner friendly in this game. I'd stick to Ryu if you're still new. Aside from that, just learning everything about your character is what you should be doing. Go to training mode and learn all your buttons and what they do and watch a lot of gameplay and match ups online and see what the more experienced players are doing with your character. Learning the terminology and what it all means also goes a long way.
Obviously, there's no replacement for actual in game experience, so definitely play as many people as you can and watch your own replays in the CFN option so you can review your match and see what you did right/wrong. There's also a Fighting Game Noob thread to get some tips/advice from other players.
One of the most important things to understand as a newcomer to fighting games is that you're going to lose *a lot.* It's going to feel demoralizing sometimes. You have to go into the game content to learn slowly. If you can't find the joy in very gradual improvements as you lose dozens and dozens of games, you're going to get turned off from the genre. Your satisfaction and motivation has to intrinsically come from learning the game, and not necessarily from winning.
Also, focus less on combos for the time being and more on getting comfortable doing things like special move inputs, figuring out which of your normals are good depending on the situation, and getting decent at blocking. A lot of beginners make the mistake of going right into training mode and immediately practicing combos before they have solid fundamentals. In the beginning, though, you just want a solid understanding of your normals and specials, and then you can start on really simple links and cancels and some beginner friendly punish combos. Eventually that will lead into learning your characters simpler BNBs. From there the sky's the limit.

There's a bunch of big streamers streaming it right now.
It actively makes the podcasts I listen to while playing it worse.
Still good to see, especially when we have certain people on this forum convinced the game is going to die.
Nah.. SFV will have long legs..
Am I missing something with the CPU guard actions? I'm trying to set them to v-reversal, and it comes out while I record it, but when I actually set it they never actually do it.
Nah, you can crouch block that actually.
