The truth is, people haven't really had enough time to really move beyond a certain point with any character. So, everyone is relying on the basic stuff. That would be the case for any fighting game. I am not sure how this is specifically a fault of SFV...
When the final release is out in the wild you will be able to engage in player matches, which should help you significantly. Unfortunately, right now there is no way to control who we fight, which does lead to strings of opponents who are WAY below your skill level, or strings of opponents who are substantially better.
Of course. I bought the game anyway so it's not like I'm going anywhere.
I was just stating how it started to feel !
Plus gameplay is not even final.
