Frustrated in my game right now. I've attended 5(?) small tourneys (25-60 entrants) since launch and it's been boom or bust - either winning or not placing at all. Mainly bust since switching from Chun to Karin, but that's coming together.
Confounding thing is that I've lost to players that I've never come close to struggling against in tourneys for any other game, yet I've also beaten players I've had prior tourney losing streaks against. Games can turn quick and I'm kinda yearning for 3/5 game sets.
Anyhow, I'm finding that I really need to work on that match-up against Chun if anyone's up for lounge some time.

Thank you PC mod community. Done by PFunk who did the Q mod.
Yeah Rashid's trials had some pretty odd choices for combos. For example, there's a combo where you go from s.mp to c.lp... why would you ever do that when s.mp to c.mk works? It reaches further, it does more damage itself AND combos into a light eagle spike.
I thought that the only thing coming in the update on the 30th was Alex but I guess I was wrong. Thanks guys!

SF4 didn't have fun and crazy combos for months after release.
They didn't even include her hardest, practical combos. It's a little odd SF4 trials were filled with hand-breaking combos you would never use in a real match and SFV is missing a few difficult but very useful ones.
Hahahahaha.
Yeah, no.
I've never played a fighting game where I felt like I was fighting against the game more than I was my opponent...

These Mika trials are a joke. Not only where they easy, I've actually found better combos on my own.
I gave up on the last one after like a 100 tries. I can't combo anything to save my life.
I don't think it's a very well kept secret that the game was rushed and is missing a lot of stuff that should been there day one.

As in "Heathcliff"
Last one was pretty actually easy for me but I couldn't even do 9th one. :|
Yeah, this is completely true. I recommend people to watch the demonstration because some of the combo notation is bizarre. A few Karin combos made me think they wanted two command dashes in a row instead of one but with a follow up.
Not gonna lie, I did find some of the trials useful.
For example, ryu crush counter combos that i've never thought off. Those are cool.
Then you have Rashids where they want you to link fucking everything with his f.mp... and you have to wait a little bit too, you can't make it come out straight away or else it misses. Annoying af

eh, don't most rys use the hk hk crush counters?
Not everybody is scouring the internet for vids and combos on the characters they play. If you're low rank, you're not playing against a lot of people that would be doing that stuff, most likely.
These are great trials because they're practical. There's a lot of better stuff out there, but the people that want it will know how to find it. This is good for the entry level player to get there feet wet at the possibilities of the combo system.
Also, hilarious to me that after years of many people bitching about how convoluted and stupid the SF4 trials were, that we have people (not the same people, I know) saying the opposite about SF5. I don't think there's a middle ground for this game. It's easy. Execution and long combos aren't one of the draws of the game.

can someone please explain what Alex's "overhaul" move does? His mP+mK
Well I never saw any ryu use his hk counter into solar plexus, I didnt even know it worked. That opens up so many damaging punishes for me now.

Thanks a bunch dude
Apparently makes his next hit to be a counter-hit.
Loooove those kinds of mechanics. :3

Makes his next attack a guaranteed counter hit. So you could do the V-skill and then get a guaranteed crush counter if the CC normal hits.
You lose it if you get hit before landing the normal or if it gets blocked.

ohhhh ok
Well landing f.mp xx eagle spike off of a s.hk crush counter (trial #5 and 9) is actually really important. Rashid has problems with getting damage, so getting the timing on getting the timing down is recommended.
Combo #8 is just ridiculous nonsense though.
It's like that with every character.

God's work. Your last video was great. Capcom should just pay you already.
Thanks for the videos. You're actually making Alex's arrival more hype than Capcom ever tried.Thanks everyone. Think I'm done recording for the Alex trailer

If you're wanting to make a trailer for Capcom then I'd use his new theme Jazzy NYC 16. It's up to you though.
The hardest is trial 6 and pretty much nobody I know does a shoulder after tenko. They either do another tenko (for damage) or v-skill / light kicks for a setup.
Well, yeah. Never said it was a secret.
Just saying I don't think anything is actually wrong with the Challenges but they would've made a much bigger impact on Day 1 as they were probably intended to.

Hmmm, I've watched some of the SFV reveal trailers so that I could make mine as close as possible and they're not using character themes - it's usually licensed music. But as I have no idea what to do for this I thought I would use the 99 one suggested as a nice throwback

In that case yeah go for 99.

This looks like someone photoshopped an SF4 model and put it in the game. I know people like Alex's 3 design but don't resort to terrible looking models.
This is the only one I'm missing. It's inconsistent as fuck for me.
edit - I take it back, 8 is weird as well with the notations and not working

They did actually make the model as an SFIV mod so I'm surprised they're posting it so quickly, would've thought they'd tweak it more to suit V's art style. Still pretty impressive tho when you consider it's from scratch!
Oh yeah that is impressive, but I'd rather use his SFV default and alternates or wait for a better model than use that one.
