Yeah I jump a lot. But until you instill the fear of god in me, you bet your ass I'm gonna jump

Awwwwww yeah...we gonna have some competition now baby...Christ, cHaotix8, this is impossible. One small mistake and I'm dead, and you have the defense of a robot. I can't break through, though I'm trying my 100% (or at least my 90% 'cause I've been playing all day) and it just isn't working. I'm at such a freaking loss as to what to do... it's not even quite MU knowledge, but you're just a player who's on another level than I am.
Maybe it's just not the kind of skill I can develop only by playing online...
GGs, though. I think you're the best player in our community right now by far.
GG's Flux. Thanks for the praise, but I'm sure there's people in here around or past my skill level, they just don't post much lol.
Yeah, Karin can take advantages of mistakes hard so you really have to be on point against her. One thing I notice you're not taking advantage of are the blocked Tenkos. Those are -10, so anytime I guess wrong on a cr MK or drop a combo you should get a free clap combo or command throw guaranteed. The recovery frames are kind of weird though so you should practice it in training mode to get it down.

He's stronger than Moradin?
I dunno man, I feel like I'm aware of a lot of the players here and what their approximate skill levels are, and I'm still pretty confident when I say the way you play is unlike anyone here. It's pretty incredible.
And yeah, after our set yesterday, I should have gone to Training mode and see exactly how to punish Karin's stuff. Her mix-ups feel so ambiguous sometimes, but that's probably just unfamiliarity. I started punishing her back lunge move more with command throws, so there was that.
It's been a while since I've faced him, but absolutely. It's all relative, but there's something about how Chaotix plays where he's just ahead of us, and it perfectly fits with how precise Karin is. I need to get better.
lol flux you're never going to beat him if you view his Karin as an un-reachable mountain. Learn the match and I'm sure you'll take more sets. Mika can pretty much kill you with one mistake even more so than Karin.I dunno man, I feel like I'm aware of a lot of the players here and what their approximate skill levels are, and I'm still pretty confident when I say the way you play is unlike anyone here.

GGs shadowlord GGs Skilltor, dunno why we got d/ced there at the end lol.

But yeah, he's really tough and uses karins buttons well. Hard to get in, I might have to just rush him down and play him like bison.
What's chaotix8's CFN? I love Karin play, I wanna stalk him on CFN if he's solid.
Edit: RIP, got DC'd from the lounge.
What do you mean thrown meaty. You only tech throw if he goes for a throw. You have more time than you think. Keep your fingers right over the buttons
no doubt he's strong, but I think you play too much rank man lol. There's really a ton of crazy good players who don't touch that mode. Next time I'm with my group I'll invite you. Ran into a 10k bison, trashed him because he has like no defense and pressed buttons on wakeup all the time. Offline, that really doesn't happen, you have to show people more respect or you'll get blown up.Hell no, Karinthe characterisn't the problem here, Chaotix himself is. It's the player and not the MU, like I said before; especially since every single other Karin I've faced has been manageable and it's Chaotix who's been the only nightmare. And I definitely plan on reaching his level eventually... well, I'll try.
It's TheIronFolgore.

On top of this, we're playing network which messes up meaties, AA reaction, dashes, and of course dropped combos. I don't think playing people online in is a very accurate way to guage skill levels. Unless the sets feel very close to offline mode, you are going to be a weaker version of yourself in that environment.
Don't get me wrong, not taking anything away fro chaox he's crazy good. But if you really want to up your game, I advise you to go to local tournaments, play in more sets, and play offline a lot. You might surprise yourself.
Thanks Flux, I'm still creepily stalking your CFN too. Just to let you know.
Meaty was a bad word to describe it. I meant thrown on wake up.
Like this http://www.eventhubs.com/images/2016/feb/28/winter-brawl-x-finals-highlight-6/
And if i guess wrong and try to throw on wake up I'll just eat a meaty st.mp or something into a really damaging combo.
Yup...it's about adapting to the set, and really outplaying your opponent. When playing ranked, u can sometimes get the best of anyone in a quick set. And there's characters that are noob killers and IMO easier to rank up with. Bison is plus after everything, and what do weaker players like doing? Pressing buttons lol.This has a lot of merit behind it. Ever since I started hosting lounges I've been running into a ton of 0LP players who absolutely gave me a huge run for my money sometimes, and outright ripped me a new one other times.
Ha, good to know... I think.
So what do u guys want to do tomorrow? A big room? Or smaller personal 1v1 rooms or 3 players sets?

Keep at it man, you'll get there. I never thought i would make it to silver and would be stuck in the ultra-bronze or super-bronze range forever. I don't know who your main is but i say put a lot of in time training mode and work on the execution. Sometimes i will start the game and not even touch online, just stay in training mode and practice combos and execution. I would also recommend watching high level play of whoever your main is.Man, there's just something about this game. I keep losing and I'm not getting any better but I keep playing. Forever bronze. Seems like I just leave too much damage on the table. I have a big problem executing combos when an opponent is open... A biiig problem.

Cuz Capcom..!!!
Keep me in mind if any of you guys get bored, please.

Edgeward, good games! Two quick suggestions, though.
1). Use your meter. You're excellent at baiting me to get CA'd, but the rest of the match you're at a disadvantage because you're not using your meter. Same with your V-skill.
2). I'm Bison and you don't have an invincible reversal. You have to attack me. Trust me, Bison's Defense is ass.
GGs.
I'll it in mind but I didn't have much opportunity to use meter since I couldn't punish the sweeps and the pushback on the attacks limit what I can do,
Easy to say when you are able to tech my throws and throw out ex stomp get out. Plus missing the meaties really messed with me.
dont press it blindly. Just press it when you see the throw animation start. Do the same when you see ryus overhead animation start.
Yes, once I'm on you, it can be a bitch since you have no invincible reversal. You noticed some of my patterns and escaped the corner (awesome job, btw), but believe me, I get it concerning his attacks. I more mean in the neutral. You usually let me initiate the fight and get in on you, giving that very advantage to Bison.
I'm not as familiar with Vega as I should be, but EX roll is safe on block, right? You could use that to get in. Bison's normals are devastating after they're blocked. Yours are faster on start-up.
i.e., you can't let me dictate the match.
You also stuffed a bunch of ex-stomps when close in. It's projectile invulnerable, but barely (not really) invincible to anything else.
My own slide is HIGHLY punishable if I mistime the range and essentially unuseable if you're pressing me / not letting me gauge the range to make it safe as well.
Bison style. He can press buttons and get stuff like st mp st mp whatever.
Ken has to be closer and can't fish as easily.
You're right. I just need to lab it out better and learn how to watch for it on reaction. I appreciate the advice.
Vega ex roll is safe on block, non-ex isnt. Vega should be rushing down bison hard with his speed, awesome normals and versatility

Agreed, s'why I'm saying that to Edge. He has a solid, very defensive Vega.....which against Bison just invites Dictator to rush him down til he makes a mistake. Vega can really take it to Bison, though.
Thanks for confirming what I thought about ex Roll. I THOUGHT it was safe, but haven't really fought a lot of Vegas recently.
Guys, I love playing Street Fighter casually with friends but I'm so bad at the challenge trials. I feel like I'm coming to grips with my mortality every time I spent twenty minutes failing to hammer out a combo fast enough. Is there any trick to pulling off a QCF fast enough for it to register in a combo? Is the secret just "do it faster"? >:

Eh, it just depends on the number of setups. You could run it in one day with enough setups. Generally speaking evo designates (or used to anyway, haven't been in a few years) two hours per two setups per 16 people.So SF5 at EVO is over 4,000 entrants.
And the Tournament is still 3 days.
Goddamn, everyone who bought the game is going to be there!
And they're going to give Infiltration their money!
I know you're being sarcastic but considering how little this game sold the idea of everyone showing up at Evo made me laugh way too hard.
And it's not even a new joke at this point lol
Still, I hope the field catchs up to Infil by that point. We've already gotten a bunch of close calls.
