Had some great matches on PC today with Karin (have yet to touch the PS4 beta this window). Still getting used to her Guren Ken only being accessible under V-Trigger but I'm getting there.
It's a pity that fightsticks aren't working on PC at the moment though.

I use hopscotch (qcb+k) in place of it, it's not perfect but the rushdown is almost as good. Aside from it being stopped by random pokes from time to time.
It doesn't mean anything. They should be matching people up according to league points rather than rank. It doesn't really matter if you're in the low thousands but you only have 500 lp.

See, I don't mind losing if people really are better than me. I get to learn stuff, and I won't get any better playing against people who are worse than me. I've been playing a lot of Rashid and get excited when I go up against one that is higher ranked than me. I've already learned a few things from them.
I just get irritable when I lose because I did stupid stuff against someone who plays worse than I do, and that's saying a lot.
Isn't rank and LP pretty much the same thing, because rank is based on LP?
I forgot cross-platform play was apparently happening. Guess that means the rankings puts everyone together.

This is what I thought as well.
My ranking hasn't dropped at all after losing 200 lp, so I don't think so. I was ~8k at 1100 lp, I'm still ~8k at 900
Probably, who knows. What I learned w/ Necalli is he puts everybody on the defensive, and Mika is not a defensive character at all. When I was using Mika, Kens gave me a hard time because of those stupid jabs, dash grabs and random DPs. Necalli shuts down Ken hard, and imo he shuts Mika down as well, albeit not to the same extent.
Especially when it was a ken... fml
It takes a while for it to refresh. When I check the rankings on CFN, they're all according to the amount of LP one has.
Finally got the Karin stage. Loving this game so much dude. First beta was fun but didn't blow me away, but I've sunk a ton of hours in playing as Ken this time, he's the most fun I've had with Street Fighter in a while.
Can't wait for the full game so I can hopefully play on PS3 stick instead of this dumb PS4 pad :[

Been trying to utilize hopscotch as well and seeing how best I can rushdown and launch mixups from there. The pokes can get annoying but it's all part of the learning process.
Thanks for this!

Just use it as motivation to play cleaner and if people are doing dumb shit to figure out what you can do to shut down said dumb shit. Rashid rules and I find he can deal with most crap fine.

Clawless Vega is actually pretty damn awesome. Comboing after Barcelona is pretty nasty stuff.
Also, is there a way to properly embed videos?

What is going on? For the past hour all I have encountered is half gods that have like 5-10k but read my like an open book, dishing out sick combos prolly while jerking off with their free hand. I feel violated :<.
How did everyone get that good suddenly oO? Like, just 3 hours ago I fought toe to toe against the top 500 players and now I am apparently trash.

Always hurts when I got for a special input, screw up the command and look like an idiot just mashing the jab/kick lol.
Well they also have hundreds of not 1000+ lp when I have 0 soo I still feeel hopeless. It's okay though because I'm learning from it . But I hope the full game matches better, because it's just a free win for them and kinda lame.
Like I just fought a guy that was rank 425. Like damn.
The damage boost that comes from it being pressed without even holding it is dramatic, and you can get at least that with a good amount of distance or Nadeshiko (hold) covering Mika.

In all these years I've been playing Street Fighter games, I've never actually got gud with a Shoto. I'm really enjoying the way Ken plays in this, but he's slower to what I'm usually used to.
Any tips on how approaching without jump ins. His quick step seems like the best way at the moment.

Right but even if you're untouched during the speech now you have to land a throw without being hit or whiffing it. The odds are just against you for not much damage gain.
I disagree that it's not much damage gain. It's significant, and the trade-off for trying to pull it off is fair. That plus it helps her V-Gauge and it has armor. I don't think useless is a good way to describe it.
Edit: Just tested it out. QCB + P without a V-Skill activation is 180 damage. Just pressing the V-Skill boosts it to 270 damage. That's big, and it wasn't even held at all.

Karin's EX DP whiffed when the other Karin activated her V-trigger. Is she invincible during her activation?
Soon as you're hit (even after the vtrigger is done) you lose the buff. The chances of getting a throw off and not getting poked while you have the buff is pretty low IMO. Stupid gamble to take when a single medium hit gives you the same damage the minimum vskill boost gives ya.
Highest was 1400 something I think. I'm at 2k something LP. Gonna leave for now since I gotta do some stuff and I might be out for the night. We got Brett (Rufus player from the US) in Peru right now and he's staying at my friend's.
But you're ignoring the part where it increases R. Mika's V-Gauge, and how useful Nadeshiko is for R. Mika.
Regardless, I've been having a lot of success using her V-Skill in the matches I've had. It's turned the tide many times.
Thankfully the motion blur is easy to disable in Scalability.ini, needs to be a real option though.
At the moment I have 2008 LP and rank was in the 500s. I've been using Ken, Vega and Karin mainly.

yo my bad, I'm still thinking about A3 inputs (qcfud+k) It's QCB+P lol.
To tell you the truth it looks really good in motion, but it just needs to be toned down.
Just looks at this.
I want motion blur, but it needs to be turned down just a hair. Does that scaleability.ini file reduce it. When I set post processing to medium it takes it off completely.

What option? Where's the file located?
Not at home to check, but off the top of my head I know you can turn it off while leaving the other effects maxed. There may be an amount setting as well but I'm not sure.
Currently Rank 543 with 2596 LP.
