60+ people learned nothing playing Infiltration today.
Used to only add people on friend's list who beat me hard

It's depressing to constantly lose even if you're only playing people better than you. I like a mix of higher/mid level to know what I am doing wrong and being able to adjust my game against people on my level to see progress.
Nothing's worse than fighting people really below you though. Even though I don't mind helping out people that don't know what they're doing, depending on how they play, I don't think it's doing much for them to get completely bodied by online strangers.

Playing against better opponents is important but u also gotta analyze where u went wrong and how to improve.
If you're OK with long-winded rants pattheflip talks about this kinda stuff a lot on his twitch and youtube.

Depends on the game I'm playing, the character I'm using and my mood that day. If I'm using VSav Lei Lei I can deal because she is pretty good and I like VSav. Third Strike is fun, but I don't want to be a masochist with Alex since he's not nearly as good in his own game.
Roughly same level or better than me. I don't get too worked up on losing a lot because I'm expecting it, however my goal is understanding certain points and decisions which led to my defeat and what I should look for at certain moments of the game.
While it's fun to sort of show off against those that are lower than me, nowadays I'm only playing to learn to see situations, the game flow, and improvement and I find it way less stressful than to have the mindset of I gotta beat somebody just to feel good. Learning and constantly improving is a long process, but a really fun one in my eyes.

I've read his book and watched his videos. He posts in my thread lol.
Also, playing better opponents still allows you to analyze. If anything, playing better opponents allow you the best opportunity to see your flaws than anything.

Depends on how many flaws you have. Someone good blowing you up 100 different ways isn't the easiest thing to swallow when the time comes to fix it.
So long as you're not guard crushed by how much better they are at some aspect of the game and can't understand what they're doing.

Lamar Abrams (Steven Universe) spitting hot truths about Bengus' Sean antics

I thought he was just going to say "yo they put Lars in SF now"
Thanks, will check out when I get home.

In a later piece of art of Sean in Laura's story mode, Sean looks darker. Not as dark as he used to be but darker. I'm not using Bengus' art as a measurement of how Sean will look when he eventually joins the cast. In one part, Birdie looks pale as hell, and almost as white as Nash's new friend, and we know that's not the case in-game. Essentially, don't use the art as a measuring stick for how these characters will actually look. It's just bad art.

What do you think of his take on the NPCs in Brazil tho? That's in-game.

Sounds about right.
I'm not Afro Brazilian though. So, although I'm Black I'm outside looking in regarding this. And also remember this is Capcom. So they probably just went to Brazil for location test and saw all the pretty dancers and decided to make them like they are now. In no way does the Brazil stage represent the diversity of Brazil, but I don't expect it to, which is unfortunate.
I think it depends on the game. Playing people better than you in Marvel might not work out as well as it would for you in SF unless you play that person several times in order to paint a better picture of you're doing wrong. Its not uncommon to lose or come close to losing that character with a single mistake and lose the opportunity to learn what can you do about it with that one character. I can personally learn alot more and alot faster in SF due to the slower pace of the game and come away with something in a single match in SF in comparison.

Doesn't everyone have to play people better than they are? It seems like it's the only way to improve. I have a ton of bad habits from grinding it out with other scrubs that I might never get rid of, so definitely play better people as often as you can.

I usually avoid bad habits by watching players that are better than me using the same character. I've definitely taken some Laura tech I've seen Count using.

What's that thing on the left side supposed to be?

so what's the gameplan with Chun's V-Trigger? Every match I watch they just do cr mp or st fp and throw it out?
Cindi Mayweather

Combo. st hp combos with v-trigger nicely because st fp pushes her forward, so you can continue comboing.

what's an easy bnb that works at all distances I can do after the V trigger activation?

Is it true her block adv does not change with her moves in trigger? I have heard both things.

Not sure if it has been asked, but is there a way to get Street Fighter 5 frame data on a website or something? I see iphone apps, but I am among those who do not have such a luxury.
Sure, id is same as my user name.
bHP is also another good button to cancel into VT. Since if you land a crush counter you can get some good damage off it.
Sure give me a min
I don't know of a site that has all the frame data available, but SRK Wiki should have it eventually: http://wiki.shoryuken.com/Street_Fighter_V
The author will be manually capturing the data instead of pulling it from guides\apps, in order for those "official" sources to make some sales. But it's not possible to keep something as basic as frame data behind paywalls. That stuff should be all over the net already. Eventhubs also doesn't have it yet.
Send again.
Good games man.

All the server issue talk has me wary.
I guess it wouldn't hurt to wait a week or two.
I got a bunch of games lined up so it's not like I'm hurting for something to play soon.
Cares for single player content? Wait a few months.
Only care about training/1v1/online? Get it. Online is working now (ranked matches at least)

If you don't mind the fact that right now it's basically an arcade to console port with a training room and a good netcode, then go for it.

It's my bet

Welp, tried rank for the first time and it disconnected right after I won the first round. I don't think the guy pulled the plug because he was trying to dash forward. So I guess the CFN is still wonky? Did they give an ETA on when battle lounge is available?
I guess I might just try to unlock colors if the network is still jank. My CFN is SixMachine if you guys ever want to play when it works properly.
