I think Karin is the new flow chart character lol. I've played a few in the silver range that only know cross up -> cmp -> ml xx upper and once you break their rythm they have no idea how to play the game
 
real footage of f champ fighting against a ken

I'm sorry! I was just playing her to pass the time till Ibuki becomes available... :C
 
I can't believe that people don't recognize FGC members by their voice.

Well, I mean, if you're new that's fine and dandy - but I wouldn't offer strong opinions without even knowing who FChamp is.

For all you who are new - FChamp is the dude who gives Daigo the D every time they play. No, not Lupe - the other one.

She's very flow chart. I remember even in the exhibition matches of SFV when Ricky Oritiz would spam her tatsu-canned auto combo the commentators begrudgingly mentioned (trying to remain nice) that he was getting kind of flow chartish.
 
I know everyone is about Hot Ryu and Chun, but Cammy's alt looks fantastic.

I can't wait until they open the store so I can buy it.

Yup. I dont go into a Dota thread and say "lol this X guy on this stream said Y character is good" because I dont know that scene.
 
I can't remember, do you gain character level (or just player level) when you beat different survival difficulties with your character?
 
Why the fuck do I keep getting matched with Rank 10? that's a few times now, same Dhalsim player. I don't have a clue what to do against that shit.
 
Necalli can be fun, but it feels like his playstyle becomes one dimensional sometimes. Hm

He's very one dimensional. And scrubby. Its why I like him :(

And to think all those people who said Chun Li's leg were impossible...

That lady needs to get on that Chun Li cosplay train, would be the best Chun ever easily
 
I was playing some battle lounge and casual matches recently, and it made me realise how messed up this games ranking system is.

I don't mean the rage quitting, that shits a problem, I mean the actual ranking system and specifically, the rank distribution.

Specifically, for example, my LP is 1800, I am Ultra Bronze, my buddy, with 600 points, is Bronze.

I am ranked something like 14,000 in the world. My buddy on 600 points is 130,000.

Between two subranks of the bronze tier ranking, we have over 115,000 players. I'm guessing 'bronze and rookie' encompass about 90% of the online community.

Don't you think that's uh, a kind of silly? We have a ranking system that fails to differentiate 90% of the community from one another, telling them 'they're all crap' basically, and then only the smallest of percentiles distributed across the rest of the ranking system?

It would make much more sense if the ranking system were percentile based, representing your place within the community, as a percentile. As it stands, for many people it doesn't feel like there's any sense of progression, or even indeed, the capacity for progression. For my friend with 600 points, even if he gets better, he will most likely never reach silver. Even if his rank reflects that he's progressed enough that he has gone from being in the bottom 10% of players, to the top 20%, his rank will never reflect anything but bronze.

Personally I think that's pretty messed up, and simply put, isn't very encouraging. The ethos of this kind of game, Ryu's fighting spirit, encourages us to fight on, learn from our battles and become better fighters, but none of the games systems appear to reinforce, or encourage that.

Your ranking isn't directly tied to your lp. Lp is earned credit for winning ranked matches, whereas your ranking appears to be more based on win/loss
 
sonic: you can go coach him
fchamp: oh man I just want to go over there and grab the stick and win the match for him to get it over with.

lmao rollin'
 
That's a good thing, we need these guys to stick around. Especially so 09'ers like me can feel like a OG.

As long as us really old guys are still alive and kicking... You'll never be OG...

Why I remember back in my day, we only had 2 characters to pick from ...and Sagat didn't even have a scar...

Frame traps, those hadn't even been born yet...

Really? Seem to be a pretty strong correlate, as I haven't bumped into anyone with less ranking but higher LP yet.

Either way, I don't think it's stretch to suggest that it appears that 90% of the community are going to be eternally stuck in bronze.

you've officially put more thought into this than capcom ever has

I'm no young guy either. I'm 33, the SF series has been my favorite video game series since 1992. I'm considered a 09'er because I didn't play competitively till 2009. But I have played and loved this series longer than probably some of the guys around here have been alive.

Yeah, it seems wrong quite frankly.

The community should be more evenly distributed among Bronze, Silver, and Gold...

Apologies, you need some dentures too then I see? :)
 
The game is taking forever to load training for some reason and it's giving me time to notice that Vega has the most garbage chest tattoo. It's just a step up from a prison tat.
