Anti-airs in this game are better in a sense that a lot of normals are pretty damn good at knocking people out of the air. You don't need to commit with a special move AA nor should you because Mika can use her body slam to change her trajectory . Most times, at worst you will trade but at least you will create better distance for yourself. Nash's normals are way better than Mika's so the distance it would create would be problematic.

I just played a few ranked matches and I feel like your advice is already paying off. This may sound corny but I think I'm going to print out your post and put it on my desk as a constant reminder of what I immediately need to work on and bad habits I need to break.

 

[Dark Phoenix]

Just got lag switched by a Ken, thankfully I pulled out a win at the end.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Okay, I can't say if Chun is OP in general, but GODDAMN is she OP against Necalli. Screw that matchup.

Chun is probably the best defensive player in the game. Kinda like how blanka was in sf4.

Heh.. If Necalli is having a hard time, then Gief is in hell.

I want to play your gief.

Max's cammy is pretty bad

Max's cammy is pretty bad

Bad as in awful or pretty dope?

What does he do that's messed up with her?

 

[ShadowKhaN]

GGs edgeward, fuck mika. haha

Right? lol

Hey man, happy to help. I'm glad you are taking things to heart and trying to better yourself like the rest of us.

GGs edgeward, fuck mika. haha

GGs lol. I know your Bison had more wins than Ryu but your Ryu is way better imo. It's more solid in neutral and doesn't throw many unsafe moves. Let myself get CC because I don't know some of his normals frames yet but I wouldn't try to play him like SF4 with slides and scissor kick pressure. There is alot more frame trap and throws you can work in when cornering your opponent to keep it all going.

I will say this about Ryu, you gamble way too much. With your ume shoryus and parries.You end up getting burned more than not.

I felt bad that very first round where I had a brainfart and just dropped the kill lol

Wat?

 

[Edzi]

Someone play me before I head to bed. CFN EdziPS, silver league, west coast us. Invite me, since my lobbies don't work.

 

[AlphaDragoon]

And Moaradin just beat him on stream

Yeah, I was watching that. Moaradin's Karin went ham on him. Being fair though, Max did say he's bad with Cammy now as he hasn't played her since launch so it's not like he's proclaiming himself a Cammy god or anything.

 

[ShadowKhaN]

Aight theres one ass whooping out of the way, hope i broke the ice lolol, anyone else wanna play?

 

[ShadowKhaN]

battle lounge is out there. password is 1134

 

[Edzi]

AdversaryOne, it said your lobby was full. Had to accept ShadowKhans invite instead.

 

[Astral]

A losing streak right before bed is the worst thing that could have happened to me right now. Now I won't sleep till I get my wins back.

 

[Septimus Prime]

Okay, I can't say if Chun is OP in general, but GODDAMN is she OP against Necalli. Screw that matchup.

3S has conditioned me to be so afraid of Chun that it doesn't even feel like a big deal anymore. Oh, her anything beats my everything? Been there, done that.

 

[NastyBook]

How do people know when others are alt-tabbing? The net code is kind of janky in this game. I get 5 bar matches with people teleporting and hiccuping all over the place from both PC and PS4.

I've had jank before. Blow a guy up on a lagless first round, only to see everything slow to a crawl the next. But this was there from jump street, so I just assumed I was getting Alt-tab'd.

Shit. Also,wow that was a long range ca! It looked like you went full screen almost! Is it like the dash, does it go farther through a fireball ?
Edit: It does! I can't belive I didn't know this all this time.

It was a surprise to me, too. That was pure desperation on my part.

 

[aoinokaze]

What does he do that's messed up with her?

Awful as in still relying on hooligan canon strike gimmicks that is really negative on block. Can be jab xx combo punished. He does it when his opponent is in the corner and ends up getting blocked with his cammy now in the corner. No instant canon strike pressure. Opting for a cross up in a corner instead if shimmying. Compare his cammy with someone like Poongko and Alex Myers and you will see the difference in offensive safe pressure Cammy has.

Same problem with James Chen too. Ending strings with negative on block normals moves and losing offensive pressure.

 

[ShadowKhaN]

good shit edzi!

 

[Edzi]

GGs ShadowKhan. You've got a really aggressive Ryu, which typically gives me a lot of trouble. Though yours might be a little TOO aggressive, since you became incredibly predictable after the first match. I think you DPed after every single air to air.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the breakdown. I'm sure he'll put her up on youtube and I'll see exactly what you're talking about then.

 

[Producer]

nice chun, I would have played some more but I start to play really bad in long sets.

same here, i start playing on autopilot and make a ton of mistakes. Like jumping in on vega when hes fully stocked haha.

 

[Edzi]

Damnit Khan, every time I wanna play around with my garbage Bison I end up doing it against someone who already knows how to play him.

EDIT: Shit, I was typing this when the game started. My bad.

EDIT: That was a blowup. Lol, that's what I get for using a character I barely know how to play.

 

[ShadowKhaN]

yea man ggs, the sf5 ryu is bringing out my 3s ken style so hard lmao where that rush felt so damn good. def way too aggro.

Yea man ever since 3s ive had a terrible habbit of trying to pull off the impossible on defense hahaha, especially with the liquid courage, I feel like im trying to go for a montage, rather than get the w. always been my style, need to figure out how to refine it into something that is scary and unpredictable.

Is my i5 4460 processor shitty enough that I should be getting FPS drops because of the netcode? I realize this isn't a performance thread but it seems like probably the best place to ask this question.

I'm on PS4 and I get FPS drops because of the netcode. I don't think it's your processor that's the problem, but rather the game.

 

[riskybusinesstomcruise]

Yes, but I think that's also due to the PS4's processor.

 

[lucebuce12]

Yes, but I think that's also due to the PS4's processor.

If the game runs at a constant 60 fps regardless of what's going on in-game, then doing the same thing only searching for matches at the same time shouldn't affect performance. This really is because of the game/servers, not the hardware.

Well I hope that you're right and I hope they fix it soon. It is comforting that its happening to PS4 players as well cause' they're more likely to fix it I think.

[KingBroly]

I've had quite a few fps drops on Survival and in Training on stages with quite a few background elements ON PC. This is something the PS4 version has to deal with as well. So I chalk it up to Capcpom being Capcpom about the whole thing.

And matchmaking on PS4 does cause slowdown in Survival for some reason.


Anyways...8/16 Hard Survival runs done now. I just don't understand Laura at all. I get that her moves chain into what equate into a bunch of command grabs, but it's just so...yeah...I don't get it.

I also need to replace my TE1's Joystick, so I'm all ears on what I need to do to do that and where to get parts.

Laura has some of the best mix-ups in the game and once she gets in, she can just keep you guessing as to what she's gonna do next.

Problem is that that particular strategy is not effective against bots that read your inputs. Even the most ambiguous mix-ups can still backfire on you.

EDIT: Btw, have you done hard survival with FANG yet? If so then any tips for him?

 

[Tularensis]

Chun is the biggest load of bullshit wrapped into a character that I've seen since she showed up and ruined 3S. Having to have pixel perfect spacing to even attempt to contest her in the neutral is just frustrating. Even if you score a counter hit, your confirms have to also be perfect, because getting hit by a single stand strong isn't enough to keep her from hitting fierce every time your character so much as twitches near her "fuck you" zone.

I've spent my time in training mode learning how to beat her buttons with Ken, and the precision required isn't even worth it anymore. Seems like the match up is to just go in hard, try for a knockdown, and hope for the best. Any Kens have any other advice for this MU? I'm coming up blank.

No, I haven't done FANG yet. I've done Ryu, Ken, Chun, Cammy, Karin, Mika, Laura and Rashid. Rashid's definitely the easiest to do, IMO.

One thing I did though was I always set a button to do nothing because the AI reads it instead of stuff that does something Really helpful for getting out of the corner.

 

[Bishop89]

5 connection status and i get the choppiest teleporting match ever

 

[Boogalogist]

Holy crap. This is an amazing method. The AI actually reads the empty buttons?! GENIUS!

 

[mnz]

Holy crap. This is an amazing method. The AI actually reads the empty buttons?! GENIUS!

That's so stupid, you can't make that sh*t up

What does it do if you press that nothing-button? Uppercut? lol

 

[KingBroly]

Man...Infiltration is such a big goofball

Totally different than when at Tournaments

EDIT: All a blank button does it make it mask your inputs, so the AI can't read your inputs properly. It's not a freebie or anything.

 

[Rurunaki]

I want to play your gief.

Sure thing. I need to play more matchups to improve. CFN is Rurion.

 

[B-Genius]

You gotta learn to sometimes just sleep on that L, mang.
Sleep makes e'rthing better.

Alright. This is great info. Now I'll be mashing the blank button furiously during these input-reading AI bouts.

Buttons like her st.HP are very high commitment. If she's throwing them out too liberally, she's not going to be able to effectively anti-air you. If she's committing to heavily to controlling the ground, you can get away with jumping around like an idiot.

Eh the s.HP will stuff you from jumping forwards.

My new RAP4 came in yesterday but I didn't get a chance to try it out yet. Can't wait to get home and use it. I tried to hide it on my desk so my wife wouldn't notice I bought a second stick; but my kids found it and told on me. Damn kids.

How did you even managed to hide something so big on your desk?
