I'm not finding Ken to be terribly good. No decent pokes. Does nowhere near the damage Ryu does. Might switch

He's so different from Ryu. He has some great tech, but Ryu does seem like the better Shoto by a small margin.

Some harder things to get down with Ken are like cross up MK, crouching mp, stand LK, light tatsu. Have forever to confirm that. He can also do close croushing MP, back MP HP target combo, into HK or ex tatsu.

Using his v skill is important to find the max range to poke with it, or when to cancel it for a throw or low short.

I'm still notn sure how good he is or isnt...

Anyone want to play a few games? I want to practice Laura and Karin.

ID is PsyferX.

I'm up for some games. Sent me a PM.

Anyone wanna practice? CFN: Rezzett

I'm up. Send me a PM.

Cammy is insanely good in this game she's just hard to play.

I don't get how meant to crack turtles.

Spiral Arrow doesn't go under fireballs anymore unless EX or Triggered.
Spin Knuckle is still slow as balls and even when you read the fireball pre-emptively they can still block it in time. Using it close for switching sides is a waste of time as you get thrown out of it.
Hooligan can either be duck blocked or stuffed with a flipping jab, including the CS, on cross up attempt can be thrown.

Man I tried this on my GT 650m in low spec mode with everything set to low and res at 720, runs in slow motion. Even at 640x480 it runs in slow motion. Is there a problem with the mobile cards or something? I can't imagine it being THAT bad.

Is there no way to see how long you've played SFV on Ps4? All SFIV games had player data when your save run time on them... MVC3 and Ultimate had it, SFxTK too... Steam version not an issue since steam tracks it anyway but still...

Capcom is already looking into rage quitters so eh

They shouldn't be looking into it, it should've been taking care of @ launch, just like expanded lobbies and spectating should've been.

 

[shanafan]

Picked up SFV on my lunch break. Going to try out online fighting for the first time.

 

[Whales]

Good close games man, gonna go get some food i'll be back on later on

good games indeed! they were pretty much all close, now that was fun


anyone else up for a lounge?

crouching medium punch is a good tool I believe. Dash in and do it and use it as a poke...its pretty safe I think.

Just a shot in the dark, but if you have Optimus, go into the specific Nvidia settings for the executable for SFV and make sure it's using the GT 650m and not integrated. I have a 680m and this problem crops up once in awhile.

 

[Camjo-Z]

Is Karin's theme not one of the best themes in a fighting game? Is there any reason I shouldn't use it as the menu theme forever?

 

[lucebuce12]

Because F.A.N.G's theme exists.

 

[Pachimari]

Hahahahaha, I just just realized why I have never been able to catch any fireballs with my Nash! I used the grab buttons (lp, lk) instead of mp, mk. Got a good laugh out of this, and now I can easily grab those fireballs in training. My defense have also improved a bit, as I have gotten a little more patient, but it still needs work. I can do EX moves now too, and is experimenting how to implement the different moves into a gameplan.

I like throwing a slow Sonic Boom, then move forward and do a EX Sonic Scythe or even a Moonsault Slash.

 

[saher]

Im not sure why but i get better connection with PC players (im PS4) even if the connection is very poor there is never any lag.

Yeah I made sure. Even overclocked it into a 660m spec.

GT 650m has equivalent performance to 6 year old GPUs.

But Rashid's theme is way cooler..

Once you get a little more advanced, you can toy with people by throwing those out at different speeds and catch them on a crush counter once you trick them.

It's not bad... but it ain't funky jazz either.

 

[J-Skee]

For every reason as to why I shouldn't open this game quite yet, there's another one where I feel like I should. You can use characters' themes as menu music? Just another reason for Capcom to have BGM from other games as DLC.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

PC users might be more likely to be wired, or maybe they just have better wifi hardware/software than the PS4.

Cooler? Maybe.

Better? Hell no.

True. I guess this is I where concede my defeat and declare FANG's theme the no.2 theme of the game.

Fitting in to the whole FANG is obsessed with the number 2 thing.

 

[Sapientas]

You need to see some Poongko Cammy footage. You are way off.

Oh I have no doubt that at high level all characters are solid. Playing as a noob Cammy though I'm getting destroyed, especially by turtles.

Maybe I should try other characters now.

 

[Durden77]

quick question: is the music from the Nash reveal trailer in the game in one of the stages?

Nah I wish. The song is Nothing Can Keep Me Away.

awesome, thanks. such a cool track. too bad the actual music in the game ain't as good.

Yeah, I'm already throwing the sonic booms at different speeds. I do the fast one, when I plan on doing the moonsault right after. I'm gonna play around with it, but if you have any tips and tricks, please do share.

 

[ShinAmano]

Thread title is so perfect. I am still shocked that you cant pick a fighter before a fight (without navigating a bunch of menus to change your 'favorite').

Hilarious to see people bitch about the cost of outfits or unlocking colors when capcom feels that people only care about that in a lobby.

Outside of that I am loving the game.

While we're identifying trailer music, anybody got the name/link for the music used in Laura's reveal trailer?

Beta footage is pointless.

He changed immensely from beta builds.

God I'm bad, I also cannot seem to settle on one character either.

 

[lucebuce12]

Literally 9 of his normals hit twice. I love his design.

EDIT: Also 2 of his special moves also hit twice. One of them hits twice in the light version.

What type of playstyle do you enjoy?

Also do you enjoy charge characters?

You can in lounge, if you set the rule to it.

Having a blast with the game so far. Playing Ken at the moment but will switch it up. Some footage from last night...

Just beat a 19 win streak Birdie to get reach Silver rank, feels good mang

 

[toneroni]

dumb question
If I buy SFV digital on PSN now, will I still get the Chun costume or is that preorder only?
Also - I keep missing my UPS delivery on the CE ugh

 

[MegamanXZero]

Neither am I wifi nor am I using wifi.

Haha, sorry I thought your reply was funny and brilliant at the same time.

Stop making me feel bad lol

I like a lot of the tracks in SF5 actually. The China stage's music is hype.

Is there anyway to make it to where you hear the stage themes in online matches instead of character themes?

I like charge but new to it. I'm into speed, trying out chun atm

 

[gutter_trash]

Does Bison have anything with invincibility frames one wake up?

Does Ex Head Stomp allow him to escape like in 4?

 

[Spikematic]

Anyone having problems with matchmaking setting you up with players on the other side of the world? I set it up for 5 bars only and I've gotten 5 matches with tons of lag. It's no fun.

I'm having the exact opposite problem. Hardly anyone in my part of the world plays the game so queues are massive and it never seems to find me opponents in EU or US or anything. Really sucks. Tweeted to Capcom about this issue and I hope they implement an option to be able to get matched with people in other territories if the nearby ones have no or few people playing.

If you prefer mobility, try out Ken and Cammy. Also keep an eye out for Ibuki when she's released as DLC.

Same here. Had zero matches outside my country. Despite the great connection it can take quite a while to find someone here. I'd like to, at least, have matches with US players.

Not feeling ken, will try cammy.

I love necalli but there's something off with him. Keep whiffing his normals so I end up going ham with HK/HP

 

[Whales]

Why does it feels like Nash is super safe on anything he does? every special or normals, I can't seem to punish him at all!

 

[Secret Character]

I can't wait to play more tonight. Had a real good run yesterday.

I do need to get used to V-Reversals, though. Once they become a more commonly used tool, baiting the reversal is going to be a very important tool.
