I'll change characters if people don't stop jumping in. Chun isn't worth this.

People aren't gonna stop jumping in on you just because you change characters lol.

Just st. Lk
If you rank up to higher LP and play better players, you'll see fewer jump shenanigans. As someone struggling in the trench myself, I think it's part of the progression ladder to win those low-skill fights by relentlessly punishing the unsafe moves and jump-ins.

yeah, but I just autopilot a safe hit-confirmable normal in case they actually block. I can probably optimize it more with a shimmy or crush counter normal, and I'm going to have to practice crush counter punishes since the other half of the people I play only wakeup with DPs.
As strange as it sounds, I need to learn to jump more. If people aren't going to AA I need to exploit that.
scrub quote of the day
man just st. lk

It's not a scrub quote. We established people are jumping in despite me lk-ing them a billion times because they're scared of the ground game. Either I keep ranking up and no more jump in people who actually want to fight and aren't playing cat and mouse or time to switch characters so people aren't as threatened of my ground game.

Why do you care that they are jumping if you aren't having any trouble stopping them?

Yea. Why do you care. I don't get it.
Hope they set up PS4's in viewlix cabs
That's because it isn't right.
i'm confused. is this a secret bragging post?
I think Shiro is maining Laura.
pretty inconsiderate of her LK button's feelings

and make no money?
Cindi Mayweather

No. I've had my growing pains and losses as much as anyone. I just don't find those fights interesting. What can I learn from them? What mindset should I have when fighting people like that? I review matches like that and I can't think of something I learned, so I don't find much value in them. Maybe my mindset needs opening.

Anyone in Japan wanna get some matches in later today?

You just have to accept those matches as free points and move on. I think any decent player has their share of matches where they just shrug afterward because it was so bad. If someone constantly jumps, they probably aren't even considering what the ground game is... that's all they know

I love fighting Birdie's and Karin's because they generally know what they should be doing and it makes for exciting fights and especially if it's a Karin I get blown up.
Let me add you. I'm briannn on CFN and wild_whiskey on PSN. I got a party in an hour but I'll be around in the evening to play a few days a week.
Charge per hour or something like arcades here in america? If they don't they won't be making money anyway.
I have questions.
Why is he embarrassed for you?
Why is he telling you to get off his list when he is the one who made the request?
Why did he care about your age?

I don't really see where all the confusion comes from with the distaste of jumpers in online matches. Yes, they're easy punishes and they allow you to test your reflexes / spacing by constantly anti-airing them on a superficial level, but it's anything but interesting nor do you really learn anything out of those matches either beyond refining an incredibly basic mechanic, regardless of its actual importance. It's a dull auto-pilot affair and largely a waste of time for many reasons.
Walk speed isn't the issue in this game, it's strictly a mentality problem. Those very same players would do the exact same thing in other fighting games too.

Leveling up reaches a point of diminishing returns. You're going to reach a point where it's unreasonable to expect to learn something from every opponent. Not every set is going to be a profound experience you can review.
That being said there's always value. Practice links, practice punishes, practice trip guarding and throw teching. These guys are important for staying sharp on your AA. Learn the spacing to AA with her b+hk instead of st lk. Chun Li is a footsies character, even the best players in the world are going to jump in on her a lot if it's a match where she greatly out footsies them.
I wish I could tell you

Jumping is awesome anyway. It's like my favorite thing to do in FG.
Agree and disagree. Learning how to combat annoying shit is just part of every fighting game. Better learn to deal with it with unerring consistency because it's not like good players never, ever jump, so it'll, be useful knowledge even if you climb the skill ladder.
I like going through the gauntlet of shit tactics and fake "tech" because you learn well through repetition. Much better than training dummies.
Cindi Mayweather
Member
Yeah I don't get it. Because anti airing is important those superficial fights are supposed to be fun?

Matches that are free points should be welcomed. They're like breathers in the midst of 3 stress-inducing matches in a row.
Oh man, FSP

I mean you're eventually going to reach a point where most opponents are "superficial".

Training mode in sfv is really annoying. I feel like the options are made to frustrate more than they should be. I really finish fighting games had standards for QoL shit like this.
Hopefully.
Some people don't and prefer to complain about it constantly.

Good point.

I would hope you don't reach that in week 1 of a game's life.

Practicing something with unerring consistency is what Training Mode is designed for though, and you'll be practicing anti-airing in literally every single match as it is so you're better off facing someone who does jump in with variance in his timing, his buttons and his angles. Stops you from becoming complacent and dulling your focus.

Went 2-2 in my my first SF. Not too bad for my first tournament since Evo last year. I wasn't up to date with some of the changes and was jittery in some matches I should have done better in but oh well. That'll fix itself as I play more in those situations.
Birdie is dumb powerful and Top 5 in the game right now, no contest. He even has a low confirm into damage, lol. st.mk and is a seriously ridiculous button.
