Does anyone have any good Rashid tutorials? He's fun to play but I've no idea how to use him, especially his V-Trigger.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

There's a lot of jokes to be made here.

what kin...

lol

 

[Blizzard]

Any pro players stream Rashid?

I don't know about the pro scene, but Alex Valle was streaming a ton of Rashid and he seems pretty good.

My Ryu play has kind of evolved in the past week. After all the time I spent i the beta I thought that a very defensive Ryu was the best way to go and I played that way for the first week. Mainly against characters I felt it was best suited for. But the past week I've changed it up and I feel I've done better. I feel like I'm doing better against characters like Necalli, Karin, Chun, and Rashid by not trying to play keep away all the time. I'm still lame when I think I should be, but I'm not backing off constantly when they come forward. Among those 4, I actually try to rush down Rashid and Necalli because I think Ryu's normals do OK against theirs(I'm still not too familiar with their normals yet so it's more about feel than actual knowledge).

Yea I rush down everyone who beats Kens normals in the mid range and who limits my FB from full screen.

Bison
Karin
Vega
Sim
Necalli

I think shotos should be a little extra aggressive because they're normals are superior.

I'm up for some games later. I'm new too and just got a stick, so I suck even more then usual atm . My CFN is Za_Warudo.

 

[bob_arctor]

Is there a "mid range" fight stick that's recommended? Looking at Hori mini 4 but would like to spend a bit more without going crazy

Madcatz Alpha stick. $80 I think. Small but not too small. Good starter stick.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

karin is such a predictable character in every way but once she gets in you gotta let it play out. Really annoying. Reminds me of maxi in soul calibur.

Thanks

This might be idiotic, but what exactly does it mean if a move is "safe"?

Yea she's one of the characters I really have to use V-reversal against. But Kens v-trigger is so good I almost always want to hold onto it. I think 3 bars is too much for his skill.

 

[Menome]

That feeling when you've been practising all afternoon and doing pretty well, but when it comes to mini-tournament time, you job out all three matches in a row with fingers of jelly.

 

[ohkay]

I'm probably wrong, but I think it's when a move can't really be punished, so the amount of blockstun is > the recovery frames of the move

 

[wamberz1]

When you use a move and your opponent blocks it they don't have enough time to counterattack before you return to a state where you can block the counterattack. An example of an unsafe move is Ryu's shoryuken. an example of a safe move is Ryu's medium punch.

I'm probably wrong, but I think it's when a move can't really be punished, so the amount of blockstun is > the recovery frames of the move

Basically. Or if the move moves you far enough away.

Well in her defense, once the do quarter circle back and press hard kick, her 4 or 5 hit canned combo comes out *cough cough* noskillrequired *cough cough* and I assume has to play all the way through to the end.

From what I've seen, she plays like a Rising Thunder character.

I don't like her.

Is that better than the Hori mini?

Think I'm willing to go to £100 ish ($150) what is the best option within that budget?

Thank you! I need to learn all of the frame data jargon. Seems very important in SFV.

Heard amazing things about this stick.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Bisons Ex Double stamp is some fresh bullshit I hadnt encountered yet. Same with Vegas screen filling command grab.

Taking me 30 to 45 mins to even get into any ranked matches. Did Capcom subhire the Driveclub network team?

Oh for that budget you can get the Hori Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai @ $149, which is a great stick. The updated model is compatible with PC or PS4 and has the new matte finish Hayabusa buttons. Really slick. Oh, and the Hayabusa stick inside it is my current fave. Highly recommended.

Yup, that's the one I just got and it feels great.

 

[Wheresmycoffee]

Man! Fought a Vega on ranked and lost. Got a rematch right after and won, but he rage quit! Cmon dude I gave you your points give me mine!

Blah

 

[ScottSullivan]

Can anyone dill me in on how. Reversals work? I have to be blocming an attack then i hit forward and all 3 buttons at once? And it hits them with my v trigger?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

There's reversals and v-reversals.
You are prolly refering to the latter so just input forward and 3k/3p when you block an attack and have at least one bar of v trigger.

 

[Blizzard]

Speaking of v-triggers, I should make my questions simple. What's the best way to learn to block properly? It feels weird to me as a non-fighting game player because if I hold left to block, Mika starts walking left.

Also, is there a way to block hadokens while standing, crouching, or otherwise? Or are slides/jumps your only options?

 

[User 479360]

Borrowed it from the library today. I'll try to get some time in with it this week, but I'm swamped with other games.

Hopefully nobody will place a hold on it so that I can get some time in with it.

You'll start blocking when your opponents attacks you when you hold back or down back. To learn it you can record the NPC dummy to do some attack strings and try to block them. You can block hadoukens the same way.

Every move has a very long extending hitbox which is the block trigger, if you are in range of this hitbox, your character will stop moving backwards and go into a block animation.
You can test the range by setting a dummy to attack and moving in and out of range.

And you can block hadokens by just standing or crouching, there are no unblockables in this game, ryu's v trigger denjin hadoken breaks block, but it's still blockable.

Damn looks and sounds great but UK price is £140!

You can crouch block by holding down back. If you don't want to be moving while blocking standing you have to wait until right before the fire ball comes to block it. Neutral Jumping (just jumping up) is a good option to avoid fire balls and also gives you a little bit of time depending on the screen position to move forward before he can throw another fireball since only one fireball can be on the screen at a time for a player.

You see Cammy has this condition...

 

[Augemitbutter]

back to playing. which fighter to pick tonight? maybe i'll try a bit of vega this time....

 

[KaYotiX]

Not touching ranked till they put in a system to stop RQ, ill play casual all day instead.

I know they are just meaningless points but id like to be able to rank up especially since i take my losses without crying.

 

[wamberz1]

Some mods are already starting to pop up. This was my go-to when I used mods in USF4. Mostly simple texture mods right now but I really hope the we get a mod that turns the final boss into an attack helicopter again.

Warning: some of the stuff there is a bit NSFWish.

Can't be worse then what's already in the game.

[KingBroly]

Man, fuck Survival. I'm using a Trainer to get the Colors. Tired of this broken POS mode. Maybe when Capcom decides to make it fair I'll go back to it.


Trying to learn Mika right now. No idea what I'm doing.

SF4 on PC had amazing costumes mods

 

[Korosenai]

Yeah. I'm dropping her for now. Going to give Ryu a go next. I played Ken back on SNES so I have the basics down and have a lot of stuff in gooteck's books and videos to work on with him.

Birdie didn't click with me the but I've played him. Rally between Chun Li, Ryu and Cammy for my main at the moment.

Which book and videos are you using specifically?

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

They should make a beard mod for every character.

The hyper aggressive Ryu players are the ones giving me problems. Most people seem to play defensive with him, so I've gotten used to that and can pressure him pretty well, but when one random Ryu decides to just go all in, it really fucks me up. I think both playstyles are legit though.

 

[KingBroly]

I think the non-steroid Cammy mod looks great.

 

[myco666]

Damn looks and sounds great but UK price is £140!

I got mine for around £80 from Amazon.it so I recommend you to check outside of UK also. There seems to be one for £100 on Amazon.de. Shipping pushes it probably little bit over that though.

 

[User 479360]

Does each character have a story mode? And if so, how long are they?

As a Mika player, I approve.

 

[The Yo Tornado]

5 minutes? The actual story mode isn't out until June. What we have now are basically cutscene -> battle repeated 2-4 times depending on the character. Kind of a waste of time unless you want fight money.
