I like Ryu more in SFV than I've liked him in any other game besides ST. It might just be that he was more "known" to me compare to other characters in the beta but I enjoyed my time playing him more than I expected.

Not sure if old, but F.A.N.G. is a charge character
I believe Combofiend mentioned F.A.N.G was charge in December
He said that's removed too unless he is mistaken?
"This is the same reason for taking away towards fierce into low fierce. Same with towards fierce and back roundhouse into standing strong."
I oh know. It's easy substitution. I just never did it nor was forced to learn it and never bothered.
he must be mistaken then since i've been using cr. hp as my go to move after solar plexus in the latest beta.

I've been playing for 20 years, and I still think it is nonsensical. What is a "forward"? How can a punch be called a "roundhouse"?
100% agree with everything he says about Bison. More of an experiment than a character, lacking basic tools but is given unproven and questionably good tools not normally in SF. My inclination is to think that it won't work out mostly because of his walk speed combined with horrible anti-air options. If they could fix ONE of those for Bison, I think he would be strong.
Psycho Inferno being combo only is still really lame, though.
Roundhouse is a kick.
But yeah, I've always found these terms not very intuitive and kind of a vestige of the past when you think of modern movesets. L/M/H >>>
Seriously? There has been word?
He has been reminding me of Athena since day 1.
- Psycho Reflector + Psycho Ball
- Teleporto! (her light teleport can be used to go through stuff, as well as the EX)
- A slow EX fireball he can follow in
- A Super that starts with a purple burst around him
Nah, idk

I still forget what is what occasionally. I just use the annotations like lp/mp/hp and lk/mk/hk for 6 button fighters. The only weird annotation I use is the keypad number system when I talk about anime fighting games.

Tell that to Balrog.
LK/MK/HK etc. are more universal, most fighters have 4 attack buttons anyway.
Roundhouse/Fierce/Short etc. are mostly just SF only and some other Capcom fighters.
Hehe, good.

Kick is for roundhouse. Although I'm pretty sure that I've heard roundhouse used as a term in boxing.

Got me on forward, lol.
I think he'll be similar to SF4 Bison in one major way. He'll crush newbs and, eventually, be figured out and beat by pros.
Imho, anyways.

forward (or front) kick. roundhouse is also a type of kick.

Maybe I wasn't clear. I know what a roundhouse kick is. My point is that the roundhouse button isn't always a roundhouse kick. It isn't even always a kick! That's what makes the label nonsensical. If every character had a roundhouse kick, it would make sense.
Also, it's not clear why a "strong" would be weaker than a "fierce".

i just never actually cared enough to put that much thought into it. i just called them what they were labeled on the arcade and it stuck.

I remember watching UltraChen commentary in early SF4 days and thinking "wtf is a low forward fireball."
EDIT: Bizarre jargon like "meaty" is probably worse, 'cause that kind of stuff doesn't even have roots in the games in the first place.

See, and you still have the terminology wrong. lol.

I can't imagine a situation where the name of a button ends up being what stumps someone about fighting games
I guess if we can be pedantic about number notation then everything is on the table

i would have used a different term but yeah, pedantry works. i guess this is what there is to talk about when there isn't shit to play.

Never liked the short/roundhouse crap. Glad I'm not the only one.
Low, mid, high. Keep it simple.

"low forward fireball" = c.MK xx Hadouken
He hit them with the sweep, aka, the low high.

those terms for buttons suck. I never think of forward or strong as medium attacks.

"Low forward, fireball.". ;-)

This is unnecessary because we know what it is based on just calling it a sweep. Sweeps are already low, so you'd be confusing and redundant calling it a low high to begin with.
Since a low high is the command for a sweep, you might as well say,"he hit him with a fireball aka quarter circle forward punch!" It makes no sense. Just keep it simple:" He hit her with a fireball" and "She hit him with a sweep".
No kidding. It's what everyone grew up on.
In mags they'd always notate it as qcf p or whatever. I have no fucking clue where this short and roundhouse stuff came from, as someone who mostly played on home versions. It's completely foreign to me.
236 Roundhouse, good call
