hmm... quick test in photoshop

need to remove the green better for proper transparency

Wow! It took my phone a while to load that, so it was all in slow motion for a bit.
The animation is really something else when divorced from the background and you take some time to look at it...
 
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.

There would be a very strong corelation. Winning gets you lp. But it appears to also factor in casual wins.
 
Anyone here beaten Hard Survival mode with Mika? I need some tips. I get to stage like 29 and start getting bodied.

Yep.
So I was all set to upload the last 15 minutes of my Survival mode run, but I didn't know that archived footage got lost the second you left the Share Button menu. So I guess that's lost now, oh well.

Anyways, R. Mika Survival (Hard) tips:

1. Starting the match with a charged HK can be useful to close in the distance and, if you're lucky, actually hit them and continue with the standard LK > MP > shooting peach. Maybe don't do this against Dhalsim, since he likes to hit you out of it. Works more often than not, but slightly risky.

2. Birdie's a piece of shit. Might be one of the most difficult opponents to face on this run. From stage 30 onwards, backdash the hell away and definitely let him approach you. If you think the distance is right, fully charge HK and, if that hits, continue with the standard combo (or forward MP into Passion Rope Throw > backdash into whatever if you're fancy). Then backdash the hell away again. Rinse repeat. Never ever wanted to be anywhere close to him.

3. Cross-ups are important for a lot of opponents. Especially Bison, who has mind read powers. Whenever the distance is right or if they're knocked down, use the jump LK cross-up and continue with MP > HP > Shooting Peach. I went for the EX shooting peach a bunch to maximize damage, even if it took the opponent away from the corner. I'd recommend not going for this against Cammy and Laura, who will anti-air consistently and give you a bad time.

4. The go-to move during this run is, when the opponents are knocked down, straight jump and j.HP as low to the ground as possible to hit them. More often than not, they won't block so you can continue with MP > HP > Shooting Peach. Do this for every single opponent, including Laura and Cammy. Not Birdie, or stage 4X Zangief.

5. Never go for a command grab. The AI will always mind read that shit on later stages and you'll have a bad time.
 
GGs Troubled Bat. I have to go help some family with something but I really wanted to finish that Ken set haha. Your Fang was pretty offensive in the first few matches, I think that worked much better since Birdie has slow normals. After I felt that you were playing defensive, I felt really comfortable going ham on you. GGs again.

There's something mesmerizing about seeing Ken get repeatedly punched in the gut.
Yeah, I want to try and isolate some of my favourite moves and things to make gifs of! :P the animation is amazing.

This one's transparent but there's a lot of white halo and still the colour are a bit peaky. :P

Why does it look like Ryu's hair goes blonde in one of those frames?
Is he channeling his inner Ken when he throws a shoryuken? ^_^
 
Sorry to keep you waiting. I sent you a bunch of invites just now but you're not responding. You available?

Sorry about that. I was facing Troubled Bat. The lobby system isn't very transparent when it comes to telling what your rivals are up to. I'm busy at the moment, but we can get some matches later.
 
screen froze 5 secs right when i jumpkicked a ryu player in the face for the win. i thought he was going to ragequit, but suprisingly, it went through. can't be too sure these days. it was hype.
 
Man here I am struggling away in Ultra Bronze, and every time I start beating a guy with 3000+ PP they disconnect.

Just happened with a Birdy.

What a fraud. He got hit by just about everything, and simply didn't know what to do. Yet there he sits, among the killers with 3000-4000 PP.

GGs SixMachine

It's all good. It was really fun! Definitely play with ya some other time. It'd be good practice for since you're obviously a better player. :P

Yeah, I tend to do that a lot with FANG. But I felt you were figuring me out quickly, hah. But next time!
 
I'm stuck in Ultra Bronze too. Surprisingly no RQs today. I keep getting matched with rookies and bronze guys though so it's a slow road.
 
Do we have a more exact date on when stuff is dropping? Like, is there any chance we are getting stuff this Tuesday?

The march stuff? Zero. End of the month and thats if its not delayed
 
I mentioned this last night but I'm going to ask again since...well, it's still happening.

Is anybody else just completely unable to take part in battle lounges? For the second night I'm trying to connect with a friend to play (different people each day) and it won't let me join their lounges. I just get a generic "failed to connect to battle lounge" error each time. When I try to create a lounge myself, it boots me within a minute of the room being created, regardless of whether anybody's even trying to connect to it or not. It's like the game literally won't support the feature.

I can get into other online matches in ranked and casual and they seem to run fine, but lounges are impossible and I can't for the life of me understand why. I haven't seen anybody else really reporting this sort of problem so I've been wondering if somehow my router is firewalling something, but I find it hard to believe that would affect just one mode of the game and allow everything else to work. I'm at a loss here.

I get battle lounge errors too, but if you keep trying or just wait a minute, it sometimes just works after trying again. It's really weird. When joining a battle lounge, it has to be the most recent message your friend sent you. If they sent an invite, then backed out and created a new lounge, the message will not work, they usually have to send it again. It's really iffy.
 
played my first matches online,casual,and of course got rocked

any tips for a r.mika player?

kept getting stunlocked

Block.

If your getting stunned then your getting hit, a lot, and that means you're not blocking what you should be able to block. Get better at knowing when to block high, or low, and when to shift between left and right side blocking with their sideshifts.

Don't press normals all the time, it will get you hit by frametraps.
 
Thanks for the games. A bit laggy but fun

Dem cammy crossups are too hard for me

Thanks for the games! Was fun, but I feel you're too strong for me. Yeah, Cammy is great to throw the opponent off, but I don't control her well yet, I mostly do random stuff. And I can't combo for shit.
Also I hate Kens, especially good ones.

Sorry about the lag. Wasn't too laggy for me actually. Ever so slightly.

[EDIT] If you have any advice for me, I'll gladly take it.
 
Is this a gut feeling? Or has this been stated officially?

Its a gut feeling looking how the industry works and the shit they still have to fix. 2 player battle lounges still dont work for a lot of people and you think 8 player lounges are coming in 3 days?

We have seen nothing of Alex and you think hes coming in 3 days?

Im using the general "you" by the way, not you in particular

Have you experienced any of the issues with hosting a lounge yourself? I feel like something's got to be borked with either my particular version of the game or my internet connection. I'd understand better if this was more of a widespread issue that people were talking about but I haven't seen or heard of anything like this happening elsewhere.

WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME??!??!!?

; _ ;

No, it's cool. I don't actually expect Alex. However, I would love if the store launches so that we could buy costumes.

Learn the safe moves. There is a noob thread in neogaf that has lots of info.

Some moves are safe some are less safe. So if you wake up cannon spike, you may get punished hard. Specially by heavy hitters. Fuck ryu
 
How do you actually fight Rashid? I don't understand, catching him is impossible, and he seems to have a million safe bullshit moves

Usually I get a few errors when trying to make a battle lounge but I get through eventually. Other than that, the people I send fight requests to, if their invite doesn't work I just send it again and they eventually get through.

If you feel something might be wrong with your network, I remember earlier in the thread they listed what ports your should open to help with the connection in the game. I'm guessing the game might use a different port for battle lounges than ranked games. If anyone has the info, hopefully they post it again.
