I really, really despise Hell Survival mode.

Anyway, I came up with a way to make Hard/Hell Survival mode go a little faster and be a little easier. Of course, Cammy at 71 (I believe) decided to punish every block SRK with a full combo so that's where my run ended but I think this strategy makes the run more doable.

Basically, just do MP Shoryuken with Ken like the other exploit tells you to do until your opponent is in the corner. Once you knock them down in the corner, jump up and go for the following combo:

j.HK, HP xx HP SRK/EX SRK

Not only does this do a lot of damage and stun but most of the cast can't really do anything about it. If they block just do MP SRK instead of HP/EX as the AI is less likely to punish that. If you mess up the timing they MAY dash out and you'll be stuck in the corner. I've also seen Ryu anti-air SRK me as well as Laura doing her anti-air elbow, but this is very rare. I think if you time it right they won't bother anti-airing.

As soon as you land from the MP SRK, you should jump so that the j.HK lands as late as possible. If they didn't quick rise, just land and jump again. That should put you right when they're starting to wake up which gives them very little time to react. I'm not sure if the different characters have different get up speeds so that may affect things.

I haven't lost a match yet where I get them in the corner. Unfortunately, around 70 the AI becomes a beast and starts punishing things the last 69 opponents wouldn't.

Into her air grab you can.

Huh, do you have any footage? I'd like to see how to do it

Yeah, I did this and died at 83 or so to Necalli who goes apeshit.

Also lost on Hard around 45 to Gief who would actually punish DPs. Everything is so random that it's annoying as hell.

 

[Scotia]

I can't wait for Alex.

Same here. They need to drop that Alex trailer ASAP

 

[dk_]

This game is beyond broken. Can't even play story without being disconnected.

 

[Pompadour]

I hope Capcom makes this easier or someone finds a better way to cheese the AI. I liked Survival so much better in SF4 where the AI kept trying to focus Zangief's spinning lariat.

 

[Scotia]

It's weird hearing people say they keep on getting disconnected seeing as I haven't been disconnected since Tuesday.

I feel that I'd have a better chance beating Tetris on grand master mode than SFV on hell.

 

[Moaradin]

Just had a really good match against a Gold Nash. This game is so satisfying when you have 2 players respecting each other.

You must be really lucky then I have really good internet so it's not that but I've been disconnected three or four times today alone.

 

[Celcius]

Every day I swear I won't play survival again.
Every day I play survival again.
Every day I feel like slamming my stick.

Repeat.

I know that feeling

 

[Scotia]

You must be really lucky then I have really good internet so it's not that but I've been disconnected three or four times today alone.

Weird how it hasn't happened to me in a while. I've been expecting it to happen while reading this thread the last few days but it just hasn't happened.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Man, Birdie really just make me shut down. I don't run into enough of them to have worked out what to do against him.

 

[Celcius]

Either you lose or you win but the other person disconnects before you can get credit for the fight.

 

[Freiya]

Game runs so nice at 4k and looks amazing on 65" TV. I'm happy camper.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Huh, do you have any footage? I'd like to see how to do it

You do rope throw into charged HK or f.HP into (EX) wingless airplane

 

[katsubento]

Yes, that's how it should be. Just like the old days in arcades. You respected your rivals even though they were your enemy once the round started. That's one thing about most of the FGC in general. Most people respect each other. I don't see that as much in other genres, at least it doesn't seem to be as prevalent.

 

[Moaradin]

Every time I see a win streak over 10 I just assume they are ass and are gonna rage quit.

 

[Spman2099]

Different people are having VERY different experiences with this game. This has been going on for a while. I have't been disconnected since the, fairly disastrous, first day. My internet isn't amazing, either. I am at six Mbps up and one Mbps down.

 

[K.Sabot]

Log in: 2 minutes

Search for ranked match: 4-5 minutes

Load screen to get into match: 1 and a half minutes.

Disconnect before match starts: fuck.

Load screen to get back to lobby: 1 and a half minutes.

Search for ranked match: 4-5 minutes

Load screen to get into match: 1 and a half minutes.

It's horribly laggy.

This game is not worth your time if you want to play online.

 

[Ferrio]

Huh, do you have any footage? I'd like to see how to do it

Uh don't off the top of my head but here they are

Midscreen:

Ropethrow, backdash, forward dash, Airplane
Ropethrow, backdash, max charged HK, EX airplane

In the corner you can do the same, but you don't need the backdash.

The reason for the backdash midscreen is it causes the screen to scroll, and it causes your opponent to hit it and stumble back into you.

 

[ACE 1991]

Linking from a crouching normal into a DP is so hard as Ryu for me. Any tips on how to execute this? I can't for the life of me do it with any consistency.

Specifically trying to do

cr.MK, mp.Shoryuken
and cr.MK, mp.Shoryuken

 

[skynidas]

This might be dumb, but for the people that don't know, you can move the map!

 

[Static Veins]

Just encountered my first rage quitter. A first-time player by the looks of things (0LP, 0 player level, 0 character level), but I suppose that could mean they've been quitting every single match until it looks like they're going to win one...

Feeling pretty comfortable with Mika online now. Not winning a ton of matches, but I'm not getting absolutely bodied by anyone anymore!

That is not my experience.

 

[KAL2006]

Online is working perfect for me. I'm from the UK by the way. Seems like all the issues have been sorted since yesterday.

 

[K.Sabot]

That is not my experience.

I just replicated this again.

disconnect and all.

 

[Spman2099]

That is not my experience.

Same. I hate to keep repeating myself, but I think it is important that people know how incredibly smooth it is running for some of us.

My experience is more like...

Wait 30 seconds for match (sometimes it is closer to a minute or so).

Wait 30 seconds to load match.

Have incredibly smooth match that feels like local multiplayer.

Rinse and repeat.

and cr.MK, mp.Shoryuken

What problem are you having, specifically?

I know for me my inputs on that aren't clean enough, so a hadouken (or even worse) a super comes out instead. I need to be really deliberate in ending the motion on down-forward.

Like MP, cr.HP, Shoryu is a real pain in the ass for me.

This has been my experience since yesterday as well, apart from one laggy match this afternoon. It looks like they've sorted everything out.

 

[hamchan]

It's been pretty perfect for me too after day one. On PC in Australia might help with that since the servers aren't overloaded in our peak hour.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

I'm in the UK too and outside of my results not being sent in for a few of my matches the online has been fantastic.

 

[Menome]

I've had three instances today where I've been beaten and gotten the "Could not send results to the server" message in the post-match stats. In that situation, is it likely just me who gets that problem or will my opponent get that message too and think I'm a rage-quitting scrub? :/

 

[Frimaire]

That is not my experience.

Yeah, same.
Aside from the match results occasionally not going to the server, the game has been working pretty smoothly for me lately.

 

[Spman2099]

I am in Japan, so maybe there is something to that. That being said, I am playing plenty of Americans.

Wrong quote. Whoops.

...that makes us folk with unplayable messes since day 1 real happy

 

[Xeteh]

It's weird hearing people say they keep on getting disconnected seeing as I haven't been disconnected since Tuesday.

People in different areas are having different degrees of connectivity. I'm in central California and I've been able to stay connected/get games pretty easily since the day after launch. Other people elsewhere are still having no luck, getting a match an hour if not less.

Different strokes.

I wouldn't stress. If the person rage quits it usually says something like "Lost connection with user" iirc

 

[Moaradin]

I'm in US EAST. It sucks that some people have issues and there's so many variables in what could cause it. Region, ISP, wifi, etc.

Well... Uh... I just want you to know that you are a lovely person, Rhaknar. Your parents did right by you.

...

Does that make you feel better?

 

[toddhunter]

I'm in Australia on PC too. Just spent three hours to get 1 match.

The frustrating thing is that the beta was so good (after the initial fuck ups).

Sigh, back to arcade...trials... Umm survival mode.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Every time I see a win streak over 10 I just assume they are ass and are gonna rage quit.

Really wondering how you got to gold with all the rage quitters around. I can't even confidently make silver right now without rage quitters.

 

[K.Sabot]

I'm just gonna play CS instead, I've done everything outside of plugging my ps4 directly into my modem and moving back to California to get their shitty server situation under control. This game's closed server system has looked like a laughably amateurish rush-job since the first beta.

That is brutal man. Hope it picks up for you soon.

No

Spoiler

Yes

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I'm trying so hard at Survival mode. So hard... so long... At least I'm making more consistent progress. Soon I'll never have to touch it again.

Searching for my first ranked opponent. Guess things are still hitchy, 'cause I've been waiting for 5 minutes now. Guess I'll go back to Survival...

 

[NotEasy]

So,if i play the story mode offline do i still get the fight money when i log in the server?

 

[webkatt]

Wasn't there some perk/bonus promised to beta players?

 

[wrongway]

Just sat down to play myself and not having a great time of it. Matchmaking time isn't as horrid as the 5-10 minutes I was having for most of my first (12-game) session, but it's still slower than the last betas, and way slower than the last few games of my first night which were basically instant. The 4-5 bar connection setting is still occasionally connecting me to people on the moon. And I just had a *ranked game* that started up and neither of us had any stats. It just said "---" for everything, and then at the end it failed to send results to the server.

Might just go read or play some XCOM :\

edit: Now I'm logged in as someone else. What the actual fuck, Capcpom?

 

[BronsonLee]

If I had to guess, it'll be like 10-50k FM. Enough to be a boost.
