It doesn't help either that she has one of the lowest health bars in the game..

Even though I think she's cool as fuck and always will keep her in the back, Karin is such an "ungrateful" character to play as, you have to be at the top of your game at all times. Going back to vega.
 
Nobody told me M.Bison' V-Skill is also an Alpha Counter/Parry.

We had a bunch of time overs. He doesn't play like a normal Cammy player in that match up. He played a 100% footsies oriented match up, bit by bit, keeping me out. No random anything was ever thrown out.




He stayed right out of my CC buttons range, and would punish with low forward. He teched throws, and was psychic to challenge my command grabs.

Never jumped. No lie. It was all ground poised. Very few air spikes came my way.

Normal random cammy online = no problem. This? No chance.

Sounds like you just got outplayed and out-footsied then. I would guess that you'd need to try baiting and whiff punishing more, and maybe start throwing in more dashes into grabs or something to catch him off guard. Dunno.

I heard about this yesterday and now all of a sudden I want to learn Bison.
 
bunch of little snitches in the fgc. ive had like 30 people rage quit on me and i dont give a shit. let that incompetent sack of a company fix their own game via a patch.
What's wrong with you?

RQ is bad and people have the right to report.

edit: sorry I had a bad day
 
Yeah, probably something Capcom could've told you about.


It feels dumb that V-Reversal doesn't do any damage when it hits.

No that's by design, because there is no chip damage cept for CA's.
If it did red health you could just save it to v-reversal someone to death, it does white health so it's fine.
 
So are only like the top 20,000 still playing ranked or something?

Thought I would try ranked again rather than casual and what happens. About 8 or so games, 1 was lower rank than me, 1 was the same the other 6 or so we're 20k plus (I was currently 58k but it was about 41k when I last stopped paying ranked, it drops if you don't keep at it rightly so).

I actually beat 2 of them so that was cool but the whole ranked system seems totally fucked.

Casual you fight against various skill levels and actually a wider range of characters. You still get fight money for winning, you don't lose anything for not.

Ranked is basically identical except because it keeps matching you with people no where near your skill level your LP really means nothing at this point.

Guess I will just go back to casual till this is fixed (if ever). Luckily tons of people are saying casual so its fairly easy to get games.

Also why are so many people in broze yet they have 4 grades (plus the 3 within) above this?

Surely it would make more sense for the ranking system to determine your league and spread it out a bit better so that it's not 90% of players in bronze and rookie (rookie should be removed to be honest) while the other 10 are spread across 4 higher grades?

Regardless I still love the game. Plays so well and I really love using mika. She is tons of fun.
 
Sounds like you just ran into a good opponent, but nobody's perfect so there's always a hole in the wall, no matter how small.

Yeah he definitely has my number. Definitely a better player. Super good tourney player.

My bison holds his own against him, but I'm not a Bison player at heart.

I'm hoping once Alex hits I can bring that skill gap closer.
 
There's a matchmaking issue around the 1K PP line, I think. You go from 0 to 60 crossing it.

Lol really... Yeah OK I'm not touching ranked again for a while then. Casual is super fun anyway. I don't mind fighting people ranked way higher than me when there's no real punishment for losing. I learn a lot more in those fights anyway. Plus I still win some of them which feels great.

Anyone else have trouble beating half decent zangiefs but totally doesn't care because he is so funny to watch. I practically want them to do his CA on me. Plus I play mika so he is nice to me when I lose.
 
Lol wow finally got a winning streak of 3 in a row and trophy feels good mane.

I don't deserve the wins though because I am a trash player
 
Yeah, it's always super weird when you play a bad player with high LP and they don't quit. Makes me wonder if they normally do but they like me for some reason.
 
It is absolute garbage Capcom allowed that throw finisher to be put in the game in that state...

I feel like it used to hit crouching opponents and someone on the dev team got hit on mix up too many times with it from another dev and stealth removed its usefulness from the game...

That's the Itagaki special. Except he did that for the whole game. :P

Unless you were lagging on purpose or something, you deserved those wins.

I got that trophy with the first 3 matches I played in ranked (that 3rd one was running at less than half speed due to whatever reasons, and I shamelessly mashed dp with ryu to win).

It gave me the idea to try to go for the platinum in this game, then I checked out the trophies. Saw the gold league, survival hard and hell trophies and went "nope"
 
Ugh, more and more I'm feeling like every MU for Mika that isn't vs. Karin or Birdie is an uphill battle. Gotta watch more pros play her, but matches just never feel comfortable playing as her.

Pretty sure that gold one is why you see so many rage quitters too. What were they thinking?
 
Capcom was stupid for putting trophies for reaching silver and gold league in the game. A lot of players might not ever reach those. That's probably a big reason for the rage quits.
Good example of bad trophy design hurting the online play for a game.
Yeah, I don't think Capcom will make that mistake again after all the ragequitting some people are doing just for silver and gold ranks.
When Marn's the good guy in a situation, any situation, you know have fucked up.

Wolfkrone, you've fucked up.
Scathing

Absolutely scathing
It seems capcom has started dishing out punishments for rage-quitters by deranking and taking a huge chunk from their LP. Sorry if this was brought up earlier in the thread, I just came across it over at GFAQS.
Good, but they're going to need to do more than gold. Silver rank is definitely full of quitters. Makes sense since the opponents only become stronger in silver and gold ranks.
Haven't heard anything official from Capcom but the Topic creator provided a picture of the Quitter's CFN profile that showed him having 500 LP, he apparently used to have about 6000+ LP.
NICE
so bronze will be even MORE full of RQers now because of the deranks? great :P
RIP

They're going to need progressive timeout penalties for ragequitting soon.
Quick preview of the outfit I'm working on...

Cammy Croft :)

You can't edit meshes atm so all I can do is texture and material editing but I figured this was recognizable enough. :P

Still need to increase shininess of suit and try and remove the seams.
Great stuff

See, Capcom? Pants aren't so bad after all.
Dear Laura players:

Xq63qPD.gif


Worst character in fighting game history. Would rather play Vergil vs Vergil 4: Tale of two Swords. I'd rather have 16 Rufus' in character select than one Laura. HATE HATE HATE.

PJSalt
lmao

I understand the salt when it comes to Laura. She gets crazy strong once she gets going. Something about her character and moves just makes her particularly annoying when she wins. I don't feel the same way if a Mika or Karin player whoops me for example.
How did this not work? I felt like a genius for like 300ms

I misread your post and thought it was a random Karin. For a second I held my breath thinking I did something stupid and it ended up in GIF form lol. Never try to use your Karin's CA outside of a combo or wakeup situation. It'll probably lose hard. "(
[quote="DiscoShark, post: 197148806"]There's something really satisfying knowing that the best Street Fighter players in the world are having trouble with Survival mode as well, regularly using fight request to run it back against the CPU.

Ayano was right. I guess PR Balrog isn't ready for ranked.

Fuck survival
[quote="TheLegendaryDarkKnight, post: 197151952"]He wasnt expecting me to V-trigger out of the wakeup DP . Its got me out of so many tight moments when they decide to block the DP.

Managed to hit 1000lp on a 5 win streak , think i'll stay away from ranked until the disconnect issue is sorted.[/QUOTE]
This is some old bullshit. Ken stays grabbing me. I think I'm just going to EX Ressen Ha if I someone cancels their SRK.
[quote="mnz, post: 197152439"]Starting to hate Karin's anti-airs, they are completely unreliable. There's not even logic to it, they just whiff sometimes when they shouldn't. Too frustrating in a game where a jump-in gives you 30% without meter.[/QUOTE]
This is just the beginning. Karin is going to get worse and worse. Opponents laugh at her st.HP AA.
[quote="Zombegoast, post: 197153764"]If Capcpom claimed that they solved the rage quit, (just taking LP isn't enough) then we should nag Capcom to fix match making skill system.We shouldn't be matched up against a player who has 1.5-4k LP higher than us. The past several matches I've been paired against people with around 4-5k points and managing winning one(Check it out CFN:JoeyJoJo). I'm in the fucking 2.4k Capcom, if I want to play someone who has a much higher LP than me, then give me the option like in SF4 and 3SOE.

It's like the game wants me to lose points and get frustrated.[/QUOTE]
They're not done with RQ yet. I bet a ton of silver and bronze players are due for some penalties and LP losses. They probably dwarf the gold RQ.

Ragequitters area a of everyone's time, XP, LP and fight money. This time they get the stitches instead of the snitches.
[quote="MadGear, post: 197156410"]I wanted to play my first few rounds for today before going to bed. Won 1 game, lost 3, 4 rage quitters in successions. I would have time for a few more but this is just getting me frustrated. That march patch better arrive sooner than later and it better be good.[/QUOTE]
I would have turned off the game at two RQ in a row haha.
[quote="BiggNife, post: 197157046"]Yeah, I've had fights against people that had over 1000 more LP than me the past couple days and I don't get it either. Isn't the whole point of rank based matchmaking to prevent that from happening? There is literally no reason why someone in Bronze or Super Bronze should be matched with a Silver player.

Ive also had a couple cases where I'm matched with the same player either twice in a row. Matchmaking has been even more wonky than usual lately.[/QUOTE]
People with substantially higher LP are better to fight than people at 1K that beat you and take 100+ points. The losses from fighting a 3000LP silver rank are negligible. I chalk the LP differences up to a lot of sub silver people quitting ranked because of RQ and difficulty spike once you reach 1K LP tbh. I know RQ is why I've played ranked less over the last few days.
 
GGs, sorry about the shit connection. Someone came home and must have immediately started watching Netflix or something.

Your Gief is a bully.

GGs.

There's nothing like the feeling of going up 3-2 in a FT5 and thinking,"Okay, just gotta stay solid for two more matches. I can do this." and then suddenly the room drops you out back to the main menu and you stare blankly and curse Capcom.

Yeah them buttons from gief lol. That one round where I got a perfect I was so focused on that spot of corner I didn't even see health or meter and was just like "What? You died? I didn't take damage?"

Your Birdie is also a bully though, good stuff.

It's hard to be a bully when your back is against the wall :V

I need to learn to fight back against jab pressure with Birdie. Even his V Reversal is too slow for that.
 
Finally beat Survival on Normal for everyone. 400k by the end of it (including easy for pre-order costume).

I don't know if I should put myself through Hard, though, and just wait for daily challenges or the new modes to pick up the rest of the 200k fight money I need for the remaining 2 season 1 characters.

How much harder is hard, really?

I haven't reached 30 yet on hard, it gets super dumb and I honestly have given up on it, lol.
