The last of my fights with this particular dude today. It was another rough fight and watching it on YT is gonna force me to learn now if I haven't already. Stay tuned for some VSav soon. Your mind will be blown by the upcoming Sass.

I remember when this thread was the one place I could go on GAF to escape these discussions.

Have some 3S in that case. I'm excited because I can finally start showing some VSav footage which I don't have on my channel yet. Still won't stop me from showing more painful 3S curbstomps in the future, though.

When she gets the purple magic circle under her feet, is that her float? She's doing ground normals slightly off the ground it looks like.

yea it should be, I believe read that while floating she can do ground normals, and the video seems to agree

 

[CommandThrower]

If while floating her ground normals turn into overheads, then I think that would be crazy.


Man, I am SO DOWN with this character. I've been indifferent to every other new reveal in CF, but Izanami is one that gets me hype.

Was the Karin ass or is Karin ass?

Karin is trash. That one in particular wasn't good, but as a character, Karin is very, very bad right now.

SFV Wong (Claw) vs. Viscant (Dictator):

is it bad that I assume someone is a scrub/ass if they mention someone doing repetitive normal/special attacks as spamming?

It's true for the most part. Though I think the proper definition of spam is "mindless" repetitive use of those attacks.

she actually has a jump, but her double jump turns into a float. But yea, I expected to see some of the floating projectile gameplay. Looks like she might be a mode switch zone rushdown based on a quick guess from the trailer

Ah, interesting.

I remember when I called this place the FG Hen House and everyone told me I was wrong. It seems I was just early.

Indeed.

When she gets the purple magic circle under her feet, is that her float? She's doing ground normals slightly off the ground it looks like.

That's my interpretation as well.

I don't really like 3S. I played it with direct_quote for a while, and I had fun because it's fast-paced and such, but my playstyle is pretty much garbage in that game.

You're the Alex player?

 

[Holy Order Sol]

like my only complaint about her is cr.LK not chaining into anything
the gimmick mix-up moves are Yoga Tower level of irrelevant to the gameplan and can be ignored
still a solid character overall without any of them

Relax man

I don't blame you. It's not for everyone. I'd say it's the most spectator friendly SF, but keepaway isn't really a thing and it can be damned unforgiving with stun.

You're the Alex player?

Yeah, I've got a lot more matches to show, but they're far rougher on me than this one. I'll post them in the future since I'd like to give people footage of other characters operating at their best.

She's also boring as fuck. What's her crush counter follow up btw? HK -> V-Trigger -> whatever? And without v-trigger?

 

[mbpm1]

She's also boring as fuck.

No objection there

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

sweet, someone made a gif of Izanami's exceed accel

Keepaway is a thing. Best character in the game is really good at it. Projectile keepaway is a weak shitty thing at best so yeah.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

3S Chun-Li keepaway may be the most boring ass thing to spectate

Anutha Chun

Yeah nothing compared to the thrill of O sagat keepaway.

even SF2 fireball wars are more interesting

You thinking she's boring is irrelevant to the character being good or not.

CC Follow-up depends on screen position/meter you can/want to spend, you could go into st.HP then EX shoulder into qcb+HK mid-screen. In the corner you get to hit them with the fully charged V-Skill into VT then rekkas or qcb LK then EX qcb+P for more stun, once again it depends how much meter you spend on it.
Without VT st.HP into qcb+P/instant launcher depending on range.

also learning to properly buffer that jf launcher in moves in neutral is going to take some work on the execution side of things

 

[SolarPowered]

Keepaway is a thing. Best character in the game is really good at it. Projectile keepaway is a weak shitty thing at best so yeah.

Really? Post vids because that'd be a first and I want to see.

 

[ShinMaruku]

I love Karin I just need to get my base set before messing with her. Really fun to fight with Cammy though.

 

[Marz]

What about me, i dont like spam throwers.

Watch J. Wong play Chun.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Watch J. Wong play Chun.

better yet, don't

 

[hitsugi]

Relax man

Oh I'm good thanks. Anyone that gets genuinely heated over a forum needs help. I saw much worse than people saying "lol" just yesterday >.>

You thinking she's boring is irrelevant to the character being good or not.

That much is true. Her normals are pretty decent, but she feels middling compared to most of the cast for me. Just out of curiosity, where would you put her? Top 5? Anywhere around Nash, Chun, Vega, Gief, Cammy, Bison, or Rashid? Actually I'm iffy on Gief but he does seem to be strong (so far).

Watch J. Wong play Chun.

Best example of the above.

Chun-Li > other SF5 characters lets be real

 

[Lostconfused]

I am not sure if the fact that part of the head just kind of gets stuck on the screen for no reason makes it better or worse. ASW maybe should think about actually adding it to the game.

its just an issue with the gif lol

tbh

I honestly hate both characters but what can you do lol

Also depends on the character's footsies or whatever tool/gimmick they may have. She has to play footsies with Ken and stay sharp against Makoto dash ins, but characters with slower normals are basically fucked. Oro comes to mind especially, it's a super lopsided matchup and Chun has to play keepaway because if she gets hit with medium punch once and he has like half a bar the round is over.
But Rikimaru is pretty much the turtle Chun. He's still a top 10 player but I see more chuns playing footsies then putting the other player through the throw/low bullshit when they get a meter.

Chun-Li > other SF5 characters lets be real

no lies

Chun-Li > other SF5 characters lets be real

Is she that strong? I really thought grapplers would be the best characters in this this game.

 

[CountBlack]

These aren't too bad

So far. Anything can happen in 3 weeks.

[JeTmAn81]

I don't think I've played any new fighting games since 2014. That feels a little weird. I also just realized I don't need to get a PS4 after all, because why play SFV when I never even got that into SFIV? If I want Street Fighter, IV (and 3S and ST!) are still there waiting for me on my PS3. I'll just keep biding my time until Marvel 4 (or the apocalypse) comes.

 

[Skilletor]

Is she that strong? I really thought grapplers would be the best characters in this this game.

Her normals seem on another level compared to most of the cast. I remember seeing j.cole say she was the best character after the first beta and wondering why that was...now it's become pretty obvious.

can do some shit, but never on no sunday

Omar's comin'.
