Any ryu player tips/tutorials? I don't know but somehow I'm thinking I doesn't take full advantage of him.

 

[Hasney]

Any videos/resources for learning Ken? I'd like to learn him better.

But seriously, Gooteks goes pretty in depth here

When I lost xp and fm from server issues, replaying that stuff while online corrected it. I would try that first before doing something so drastic.

That's the thing I got the xp from the fight but the game didn't get the I levelled up to level 6 notification from level 3 and the subsequent lvl 3 to lvl 6 fm reward of 3k so my Ryu is level 8 now but only got the fm from 1 to 3 and 6 to 8
I'll try it though

You can't select characters for each match.

It sucks.

You have set your favorite character from battle options.

Why? Picks are blind anyway so it just streamlines matches. If you were responsible for selecting a super I could see it being an issue.

 

[Robot Pants]

Wow servers are down again?!

 

[Papercuts]

Email Best Buy. Seriously. Fixed within seconds.

And then after Best Buy sends the Cammy code, hit up ol' Papercuts and trade him for the Bison costume.

Spoiler

pls

 

[StylesClash]

Are the servers still dogshit? Or can I play now?

 

[Shadoken]

Got the game for $48 with GCU. Got my cammy code and promptly sold it for $30 on eBay. Will trade this POS at a profit.

You sold the code for $30 ? WTF?

Edit- Holy shit , I just saw EBay codes are going for $30-$35 .

This is how I've played Ken for 20+ years...haha

 

[Ermac]

I picked up my copy from Best Buy this morning (bought online + in-store pickup) but still haven't gotten my Pre-Order costume code. Has anyone else? My status says the email was sent but I haven't received it.

 

[NegroNinja]

I haven't played SFIV religiously since vanilla IV, but I am getting back in the game and trying to main Laura.

When they're down, act as if you want to sweep or jump up with HP, but do a (command) throw instead. Mix it up. I played guys who fell for multiple throws in a row as I constantly faked with short sweeps etc.

When they're blocking your combo thats unsafe on block, you can get out with V-trigger I think.

Also, i'd punish that stun on FANG with a combo. Like j.HK, MP, MK, V-Trigger, HP, Ex-fireball, Airthrow. Its what I like to use. I don't know many combos yet.

And yeah keep the pressure with those charged fireballs and V-skill dashes to close in. They're pretty good tools afaik.

Her LP elbow is completely safe too, it's -2 on block so you are at a slight disadvantage but it does get you into their face safely. Also her S.MK is a great normal, you need to use it more and start incorporating cancelling it an other normals into her v-skill dash.

Also almost no use of her fireball, which is pretty crucial in keeping them locked up/advancing/combos/mixups.

Overall you're just not applying enough pressure, which makes landing one of her command throws pretty hard to do when you're not giving them reason to block.

Even more great tips! Thanks guys. Back to the lab I go.

Queues times should be near instant, god lord capcom why does it takes 2-6 minutes to find *one* opponent.

 

[ethomaz]

Little question...

I preodered SFV on PSN... I have access to the preorder costumes?
Where can I get them?

 

[entremet]

Why? Picks are blind anyway so it just streamlines matches. If you were responsible for selecting a super I could see it being an issue.

I like messing around with different characters without changing them in the options.

I had no issues with this in IV. I prefer it.

 

[blackjaw]

Chun Li one should be available as soon as you have a fight profile

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I think you have to connect to the servers to get access to the Chun alt. It should be selectable from the character select screen after that.

 

[E_Darkness]

Yeah SFV servers have died again. I'm off for tonight then. May try this Cammy combo which is alluding me.
b.MP, HK xx EX Hooligan > divekick > Canon Spike
It's getting that spike at the end which is the issue. And also hitting kick in time for it to combo.

And $30?! I'm almost tempted to sell my Ryu code for a stupid amount now. I might get someone to fund my 2016 season pass

[Timeaisis]

Oh man, I love Karin's mixups so much.

 

[gfdoom]

unfortunately, it's still in beta phase

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I feel like people are super thirsty for costumes atm because there's no way to get alts outside of pre-order bonuses lol

 

[firelogic]

I think you can. In the battle settings there's an option for "Character Select" and it's defaulted to "Off." Turn it "On" and it should take you to character select before the vs match starts.

 

[T.O.P]

Between that and the random server connection drop it kills my momentum so fuckin much

Thanks.

 

[Filth]

I think this launch explains the reason why Ono was sweating so much in that YouTube video saying welcome to street fighter 5 lol

 

[MegamanXZero]

unfortunately, it's still in beta phase

The connection and stuff were way better in the last few beta's. The situation right now is horrible.

 

[blackjaw]

Playing story and the game just freezes when the server takes a shit, sat here for 20 min staring at a black screen with the spinning icon and dumb server square

 

[Garrett Hawke]

lol @ SFVServer

"please be patient"

please be patient while you try and play this game you paid $60 that came out... yesterday

 

[KTO]

Oh so you're the guy who takes the full thirty seconds in the SFIV character select.

I hate you.

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Why? Picks are blind anyway so it just streamlines matches. If you were responsible for selecting a super I could see it being an issue.

Mood strikes to use someone else at the last second. It's just a "streamline" that I don't think really streamlines all that much.

Lobbies need rematch or character select option after a loss. Seems bizarre they didn't just look at SFIV or any other fighting game...

These are the moments I wish I had local friends to just play vs. Then I'd just moan characters are Op/weak ha!

 

[Romars202129]

Damn, I wish that chun li thing was a code I could sell._._ don't even want it. Price of giong digital tho

 

[ethomaz]

Ohhhh I saw it now... cool.

How can I get the others?

 

[ShogunDarius]

Well just re did the whole Ryu story, did not get the 3k fight money I should have got.......great

 

[MoxManiac]

Does winning casual matches give fight money or is it just ranked?

 

[entremet]

Oh so you're the guy who takes the full thirty seconds in the SFIV character select.

Nah. I'm pretty quick. I just like cycling between characters. I've never been a character specialists with SF games.

 

[Hasney]

The connection and stuff were way better in the last few beta's. The situation right now is horrible.

Yeah, less people on at that point. That's the horrible thing with having these huge central servers, you don't know what the hell will happen once the floodgates are open. It's not even about infrastructure (I have no idea if Capcom cheaper out or not) as Rocket League had silky smooth betas, then when the game was out, it shit the bed despite having more than enough resource. The code just couldn't handle negotiating that many people and you have no idea that's the case until the accidental limit is reached.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

What was the last online launch this bad? Drive club?

 

[Fraeon]

So from the games I played the day before release I noticed that even the better seeming players didn't punish me for doing these moves.

I dunno, I had fun recording the video. Would be nice to get some ranked match action after the official release, though. Maybe later this week.

 

[The Right Deal]

Anyone want a bison code? I'll trade for any other costume.

 

[Hasney]

What was the last online launch this bad? Drive club?

Rocket League was newer than that I think

 

[gfdoom]

The connection and stuff were way better in the last few beta's. The situation right now is horrible.

that's cuz it was prob a few hundred playing compared to the thousands that are trying to play now. but yea, it's still a bad situation.

 

[Zomba13]

Does winning casual matches give fight money or is it just ranked?

Yup. You get 50 for a win in Casual or Ranked.

 

[LowParry]

Ohhhh I saw it now... cool.

How can I get the others?

Ebay.

 

[tapedeck]

My PS3 stick loses recognition after just a few seconds into a match now...this is shit. Either it should work like it's supposed to or don't tell us PS3 sticks are compatible.

I'm forced to just use the pad just so I don't run risk of losing my controls mid match... :|

 

[blackjaw]

Wish I could see which fights I missed the FM on because server died in the middle

 

[T.O.P]

Should've made Beta 4 open or something then :/

 

[bananafactory]

What was the last online launch this bad? Drive club?

I dunno about the most recent but I'd saying not being able to play online happens more often than not in the first week of a lot of games I play

EA's NHL series is like this every launch. MLB The Show can shit the bed too. Rocket League was pretty bad.

 

[ShogunDarius]

Wish I could see which fights I missed the FM on because server died in the middle

I've only done 2 stories and 1 easy survival so it's easy for me to see

 

[Nose Master]

Not sure if it was covered earlier, but I can confirm Noodle Hat. You have to lose the first round and get knocked into the restaurant, and then knock them into it on the next round. Noodle hat is dumbbb.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Just waiting to log in to the servers again.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Email Best Buy. Seriously. Fixed within seconds.

what address did you email? both my brother picked up our copies already but no cammy
