50 hours in, I'm still as shitty as ever. This is the most soul crushing game I've ever played.

I'm surprised I haven't throw my stick out of the window yet.

If you want to do some casual training let me know.


Bah only 60% winrate with karin.

What is considered safe with Karin?
ex mujinkyaku, charged vskil and non ex shoulder.
That's it.
For normals everything cept, stHK, crMK/HK/HP
 
Seems about right.

Glad to know I wasn't crazy when I was complaining about the problems I have with the Bison matchup, and I knew Zangief and Chun were my other two big problems. Spent some time this morning watching videos and UD stuff and some Chun matchup stuff and for the most part I feel like I can do most of what I'm seeing in those videos, it's just a question of actually executing it as well getting out of the habit of stop doing what I WANT to do and act/react to the situation at hand appropriately. Hmm. Need more practice.
 
I'm surprised about the R. Mika stats, they're pretty bad for her but I can't beat any. Time to look for same Karin - Mika matches, I guess
 
Any tips for fighting Karin as Nash? Like I said earlier, I have a measly 18% win rate against her while every other character is around the 50% range. Embarrassing.

I don't know what it is about her she just kinda scares me. I just wait for her to make a move and try and punish it, but her moves are hard to punish if she's being played smart.

Go HAM.

She's a character with no reversal, no projectile and several combo's that get broken with dps. So much of her potential revolves around guessing correctly

Like I've said before, most of Mika's MUs are uphill battles. Against most of her opponents, she has trouble getting in, and her playstyle mainly revolves around mind games and getting in the opponent's head when she's up close, so that she can stay there.

I actually don't know why I main Mika.


R. Mika vs. Cammy - 16%
R. Mika vs. Claw - 28%
R. Mika vs. Necalli - 37%

Great.

I have a question for you: are you trying to zone the Karin with your Sonic Booms or are you trying to go in? If you're zoning and they're getting in with her Ressenha or V-Skill, then you're being too predictable and need to work on the fireball meta game. If you're rushing down and it's not working, you just have to know when to block and what pokes work against her MK or HK. Nash has some very good pokes and a solid AA game, try to force her to come at you and AA and try to get something going. Or just go nuts on them and try to force them to reversal with her EX Ressenhad and block and punish it.

But she has unquestionably the scariest resets in the game and she's got Nadeshiko which is easily the best V-Trigger in the game. And SRK's don't break combos, they make her back off from doing reset, but they don't break combos.

Nadeshiko is the trigger.

Mika's V-skill is probably the worst in the game.
 
That's the rub though.... All her specials are way easy to see coming, super unsafe, and punishable big time.

If you out footsie her and stuff any desperation specials she throws at you... You win.

It's partly why I stopped playing her. She doesn't have enough health/stamina to make any mistakes...
The problem is I still have no clue when I can punish her and always end up eating a huge combo. Which ones are punishable?
 
Making Birdie's Bull Head (relatively) safe by cancelling into V Trigger feels great. Also gets me nice and close.

I was playing someone last night and I somehow managed to turn it into a 50/50. Block the Bull Head > V Trigger. Birdie's going to command grab, or do his Bull Horn AA. Aw yea
 
Only shows my last 100 games or so and I've played more than that, but from the looks of the thing, Laura and R. Mika are super extra free to Karin. I've also had relative luck against Bison lately, but only a few games and against some bad Bison. Ken's my worse matchup but I think that's because half the Kens I beat rage quit. No losing records against any character at least.

If this is accurate, and who knows, order of most played to least.

Ryu
Nash
Karin
Bison
Ken
Necalli
Cammy
Laura
Chun-Li
Birdie
Rashid
Mika
Vega
Dhalsim
Zangief
Fang.
 
OK the site is working now. But I can't add myself keep getting error. I wanted to see my w/l ratiio :(. But on the other hand ryu has less than 50% win rate against most of the cast :(. Bit I think that's because more newer players using ryu and losing.
 
Maybe, but I feel like I'm way too invested in Mika at this point. Plus, I like her personality more than practically any of the others.

The game's only been out for like two weeks lol. I invested several months into Makoto in SF4 before I found out that I can't play her and needed to switch.

But if you like her more than everyone else, then that's fine.

Everyone's main character is the worst character in the game tbh

Why is Chun so ass tho

I was also factoring in the Betas, but that's true. I've always pretty much stuck with the character I've started with in fighting games, but it'll be something I have to consider.

Look man, I'd be the first to call Karin Toppest Tier if they would just fix her anti-airs. I'm not asking for a SRK, just for EX Ressenha not to have the hitbox and active frames of a stick figure. If I'm gonna burn a bar on an AA it should work.

My most used AA at this point with Karin is jumpback MP to deal with all the shallow crossups that people love to do.

Laura has the scariset resets in the game.

While it might not be a true combo. Mika's charge HK into LK is safe in every respect except to dp's ( and maybe supers? dunno, haven't seen that happen yet ).
 
Do you have to log into the game before that site tracks you? I added my CFN to the database but it doesn't pull any information.

I have no problem with a character that has amazing buttons also having trouble defending jump ins.
