Crush counter b.HP for Chun is great. Seems pretty easy to meaty them with on wake-up. If they try and press anything, you can just combo into sweep. On block, b.HP is a bit plus so you're next to them with frame advantage.

I started trying to find more situations where v-trigger activation makes sense. With Chun I started buffering st.HP into v-trigger. On block, I'm at a range where I want to be at what looks to be +0 (very safe activation). On hit, you can easily hit confirm during the VT activation freeze and do cr.MK xx medium SBK for pretty nice damage and a knockdown.



Huh?

Yeah her b.HP is godly, I'm starting to play around with her Rankyaku with V-trigger as her attacks in the air come down much faster and they are much safer then complete jump-ins.

I started having tons of success after I realized I could just go cMK->legs and treat her footsies like a shoto's.

This is unsafe on block though. I guess it's cool if you're trying whiff punish and only getting legs because they stuck out a limb and got hit.

Before it was a CC it was an easy confirm into whatever on counterhit or not. Still an easy confirm, but now your options/damage are more limited. Definitely a nerf.

Just managed to try out briefly everyone in training before servers went down. R.Mika is probably my favorite atm. Winning with her about 50/50 or more. That CA reach is so good.

So what are the documented changes on Birdie? Only noticed a couple of tweaks before servers started acting up:

- The can V-Skill now rolls significantly slower than before.
- Birdie's walking speed is considerably faster when in V-Trigger state.
- Activation of V-Trigger acts as an anti-air, but that's already been known for a while.
- J. MP -> c. MP -> V-Trigger Bull Horn -> Super isn't possible anymore from the looks of it.
- However, what you can do instead is vanilla Bull Horn -> flame hit from V-Trigger activation -> Super.
- Banana V-Skill has a longer eating animation.

naw he's just got stubby normals so it's hard for him to get things going. Once he does though damage comes pretty easy. His dp is also deceptively good.

s. HK crush counter into c. HP> whatever is so good.

I've been really liking him and only really struggling against Mika.

and Ryu for some reason, but that's just me being scrubby probably.

He's not, but you have to play him with very defensive/punish oriented mindset when you aren't in the blender. Looks like Hawk. Plays like Honda. Watch Alioune's stream from today, he took Necalli to #1.

It's weird though because I've played a couple Necalli players that just completely stuffed everything I tried against them while a couple matches against some other Necalli players I dunked them. So I dunno, this game seems entirely player based such as the character chosen is only as good as the player behind them. I like that aspect of SF V so far.

Guys, I think there's a huge bug.

Somehow my friends are losing their points when they play. Instead of their Win Screen saying "WIN", it says "LOSE" and they lose anywhere between 5 and 150 points.

Also, somehow they're playing characters who aren't Karin. This might have something to do with it.

I'll see if I can't get more info. Hopefully they fix it in a title update.

Either the new players have gone to bed or the ranking system actually works because, I'm at 189 now and every match has been amazing/hard as fuck.

I had a glitch rob me of points. Lost to a solid Rashid and it said I lost like 60 some odd lp but when I went into the next match I was down over 120. Checked my record and it counted my loss against him twice. Definitely there are glitches....among us.

Two things.

1. Is it just me, or does the lighting on the Grid stage look better than the others? Not in the technical sense, but just the designed intention of it.

2. I just got bashed by some Nash while playing as Vega, and the win quote was "I can read your moves. I could since back then." or something close to that. Was Vega ever in Alpha?

Edit: shit, guess he was.
