Also wall cross up after the whip is gone too.
Why can't changes add to coolness and not just a step down always. Balancing is expecting but still..
Characters shouldn't be more boring as time goes on unless new mechanics are brought up

SFV training music annihilates IV's.
I'm liking the game. I haven't play anyone at all yet. Neither ranked nor casuals is working for me.
I'm liking Mika the most. Any tips with her? Her slide seems like a good option for getting under fb's, assuming they're not too close to the ground. Her anti air flips could be used for getting in as well, right?
What are some good combos with her? What's her bnb?

Oh yeah I'm late to the SFIV stage discussion, but Overpass and the Space Station are the best.
Africa actually and both versions have the best music.

the forward version of irish whip where you dash back?
I'm pretty sure I mentioned this 5-6 months ago and everyone though I was crazy. The game feels kinda dry, its great in terms of footsies and fundamentals but I feel spoiled from playing SF4 and having a variety of actions to use. Sure optimal damage is a thing, but you can't just use a blanket statement like that and expect someone to do it 100% of the time. I'll still play SFV but I'm hoping the competitive scene proves me wrong and can squeeze out some creativity from the game.
That'll be me next week Friday. I'll get plastered and forget I ever took the exam.
There's probably a bunch of YouTube videos with combos for her, I know her best combo for beginners is jump fierce, fierce, qcf fierce x3
I'm not too sure if her fierce will actually combo tho so if that doesn't work, try strong.
Btw, fierce is heavy punch and strong is medium punch, just in case.

Yeah I found that on my own. Watching combofiend play her helped me find what I was looking for. She's got a crazy dash.

This is where people will flip out and tell you the game's not finished yet so don't worry, despite the fact every iteration of the game continues to remove ("adjust") things without compensating anywhere worthwhile.
I'm glad Max finally mentioned this, and I think it's natural to have concerns... but I also think Capcom will get it right. This is too big for them to fuck it up.
Indeed.
Took the that into consideration aswell.
If it helps with not launching with a broken game i'm cool with especially since no arcade.
This post is kinda passive aggressive.
Yes. You can't trust the FGC to be patient and not jump to fool-ass conclusions.
On the contrary it's probably in the interests of those losing interest over changes to minute (in the grand scheme of things) details in the beta version of a game to stop following the game. It will make for increased interest at launch or will save a lot of time otherwise.
Not liking state B of a game because you knew what state A was like vs. if you just had known state B and being the none-the-wiser is a situation where feelings are taking priority over straight up logic.
And there's going to be more of these kinds of changes happening so I'm just sayin....lol

Shouldn't be? It makes perfect sense that the characters were at the strongest at the beginning of development. They were throwing everything at it, and seeing what to keep.
Asking for new mechanics as compensation, when that's obviously not the purpose...you're judging this like we're playing Super Street Fighter 5.
Didn't they say something about not just not nerfing everything during balancing in that vid?
This is technically not balancing, though, it's developing of the game. I mean, I sorta get why Max doesn't see it, dude has gotten to play it so many times he must forget it hasn't really come out yet.
If it happens post-release you may complain.

I'm looking forward to seeing the salt from people who weren't looking towards bland SF. Capcom will definitely play it safe with their fighter equivalent of the goose that lays golden eggs.
I ain't complaining. Already expected changes. Still annoying tho and makes the game boring.
i think its fair to criticize the way they are going atm...i dont really understand their direction as far as the character design. im not comparing the characters relative boring-ness to their previous states in this game, im comparing how boring they are as SF characters in general. like why make ryu so (seemingly) bland...especially when he has the potential for being super interesting due to stuff like his v skill and guard break fireball setups. why not emphasize those interesting points instead of downplay them?

This. After the game launches, Capcom is going to be doing everything in their power to keep the game thriving. If people aren't happy with how weak the characters are, Capcom will buff them. They really need to keep this game alive for as long as possible. Besides, I'm pretty sure Combofiend has already said that Capcom is going to try to avoid nerfing characters post-launch. If that's the case, it would make sense for all of the characters to start off a little weak.
Oh shoot! Good luck bro!

I'm thinking that they are starting the characters off as simple and weak so new players have an easier time getting into the game and slowly buffing/balancing them as time goes on.

After seeing Woshige completely body Combofiend in the FT2 they did, I'm sure the actual devs have a pretty good grasp of how the game works
just a hunch though

Nah, those scrubs don't know anything about their own game.
Barebones SF might be a good thing. Complete Focus on fundamentals and character matchups instead of stupid shit like OS's and setups. Ultra SFIV is complicated and thats ok because the game had been out for so long but it was a ton of shit to learn.
But yea the cast is pretty meh at the moment so i dont think ill get super serious about V until Sagat shows up.

Oh shit new thread? Only took what 4 months? 
People wanted zoners in SFV did they not?
Nah I'm sure he'll be fine balance-wise. I expect a lot of salt either way, even if he turns out to be bottom tier.

Remember when someone said SFV won't have gimmick characters the other day?

That's a guaranteed way to kill the scene and stop showing up for tournaments. I still can't believe UltraDavid tried to express his concerns only to get shouted down on TYM.
As for characters, I might try out both R. Mika and Karin. Can't say no to the blonde hair.
Every tourny different from last due to patches. Not fun.
Sure SFV will sell alot on name and years of hype alone. MKX got that casual money.
