Teleport matches are hilarious
I had one just now where I saw the guy on the ground, then halfway in the air, then behind me, for like 10 seconds all while attacking me. Then finally the match "resolved" with both of us bouncing around like DBZ characters for like 5 seconds and only ended when somebody died.

Stopping for a month won't help though =/
In fact it will only make it worse when you come back.

No but there will be major updates to the game. There won't be a super edition in the sense that you have to buy another game.
Stopping for a day or two or a week is the sweet spot
Builds up the addiction for that optimal period

Fun stuff Phazon, I'm glad I did a little better vs your Alex this time than last, but man when I guess wrong I guess wrong hard haha. My execution was awful that set though, every time I CA'd I swear I was just going for a tenko :<

Was it a 5 bar match tho
Set to 4/5
It was fine before but then activated on the second round of the second match where I was about to lose

When I'm applying pressure in the corner, trying for meaty or dash in throw, I get neutral jumped on every time, negating what i thought was the whole point of getting corner positioning.
EDIT: thanks to those who responded. I'll take note.
Yeah I have found that when I take off for about 3-5 days and come back I go on a big win streak. I think I just kind of solidify all the strategies in my head and am not bogged down on my own play at all. Palette cleanser, if you will.
But a month will just make you rusty.

GGs Astrael. Definitely seeing improvements in your game. I really liked how used tenko and v-skill to shut down my elbows and HK. In the first set you properly punished my command grab, so in the next set I started throwing more and if you try to jump that I have time to jab you out. One big thing I noticed is most of the jump in mk's you landed, you would immediately go into throw(I did not tech these enough) Karin has big dmg, so you're sacrificing a lot by not doing a jump in combo.
Then your approaches are too predictably timed. Slow it down/mix it up.

Yeah it's especially bad when I have a confirmed hit on jump in and I still go for grabs, I'm not sure why I got into that habit but I'm going to focus on fixing that part of my game next. I did see you were punishing my neutral jumps when I tried to avoid grabs with Alex's standing jab, which just put me in a worse spot than I was trying to get out of, but noticed a bit too late in the set. At the very least, I can clearly see the spots I can improve and that makes me happy.

To be honest I'm not a fan of normals being so good at anti airing cross ups either. I like the fact that they're great anti airs, but if you let someone get in that space for a cross up and you don't react with a dash under or air to air them then I don't think your anti air normal should save you from having to block a cross up. For people who play DP characters and can do auto correct DP on reaction, good for them. I have no problem with that.
Not one to toot my horn but it feels satisfying when you can play footsies in a pressure situation and do exactly what you wanted to do
1, your meaty timing is wrong. If they are able to neutral jump then you are late.
2, you don't need to raw throw. You can tick throw them. Either land a jumping light or a stand/crouch light (once you have the meaty timing down) and that will register a hit or block but will not generate enough hit/block stun so that when you do your throw almost right after it will connect

Would you say the fighting game community / tournaments has increased in size for SF5?
Like will there be more players and entrants in general for tournaments for SF5?

Yes, not only because it's a new game but also because the acceptance and visibility of competitive games in general has risen so much in the half decade.
What's the problem with jabs anti-airing cross-up attempts?
8F of input lag is a far cry from 4-5ms though.

I like what capcom have done with the game offline in a sense. Im learning about characters outside my mains than ever before. The only problem is i will not be good enough with them to finish survival hard and extreme to get fight monies! Oh well will wait for daily challenges then jump online!
yay ibuki

Was going to say we had the Guile announcement by the 18th last month, it's getting past time for the May one. It's about time we had another lady. Brunette too!

Yeah, the only way to actually get to a million (Close really) without doing hard/extreme survival with everyone is ranking all your characters up to 40/50 in casual mode.
We need daily challenges asap

Yeah! Can't get any fight money without Balrog.
Game matched me up with a bronze player (I'm Gold). Very strange, I've only seen it go as low as Ultra-Bronze, not straight bronze. I felt bad, and gave him a round in each match.
I don't know what I was doing different, but I was doing great last night. I broke away from the ultra-silver / gold threshold and am sitting in the 4700+ LP region which is my highest ever. I wasn't playing at 11pm, so maybe my reads and my Alex mixups were more on point than usual.

When you guy Balrog with in-game currency they better play a clip of him saying "My fight moneeeey" as it gets drained from your account.

Birdie is so much fun. Just basic buttons and basic gameplay. Kinda wish he had a more straight forward way of getting past fireballs but it's still good.
EDIT: And Birdie's win quote against Alex is God like.

Watching LPN play Birdie in one of the tournies was great. That dude can put in work, he just needs to not crack so much. He'd freak out and waste meter on such obviously telegraphed stuff, but man, when he didn't, he'd carry dudes to the corner.
I'll never go back to him, but it was nice seeing that character put in good work.

I want to go back to Birdie because of him. I really want to emulate some of the things he does. As soon as they lock up Alex behind the FM paywall, I'll be back on the Birdie crew.
Speaking of FM, it's been a few months now. Has anyone figured out yet if the million FM trophy is lifetime FM, and allows you to spend the money without ruining it?
My complaint is specifically when I bait a throw whiff (or something similarly laggy) and still get anti-air jabbed. Getting punished and put into a mixup for baiting something is dumb.
Yeah in this game, neutral jumping a throw is not a good option. Which encourages you to tech. Which gets you owned by command throws. It's a fun little guessing game they've included in this one.
At least all command throws are punishable as shit. In 3rd Strike, Makoto's command throw would recover before you landed with most characters. And this is a command throw that could lead to 100% stun combos.
I'm exaggerating. I need to take a night off though. I've been playing every night for the past week.
V-skill: Hold forward for dash. Hold up for the jump. Hold back for Raccoon attack like Strider in MvC3
If you think they're gonna throw, why not just wait on the ground out of throw range and punish the whiff (or backdash when you expect the throw)?
Or jump just a frame or two later.

Attempted to learn Laura a bit last night due to inspiration from Miguel Rossington, but I'm having trouble figuring how how exactly to play her. She doesn't really seem to have any long block strings to pressure or confirm with, but she seemed fun enough in my short time with her in training so I might stick with her for a bit.
