I need to read that guide. I started from not knowing what to do against Dhalsim's crap to doing pretty well against him. They're not so scary to deal with, anymore, and I feel like the "Dhalsim is nuts" conversation that was happening near the game's launch has subsided.

Wow, I've barely won over 100. Respect.
no that ain't me. i go by smurfxzilla. plus i haven't bought sf5 yet as i let my nephews borrow my ps4.
That was a good set, loved the patience. Have you tried using EX shoot down to stop people from jumping back out of your pressure? That seems like it'd be pretty good when you know people are scared of the grounded throw. Go for the tick hit confirm then if they block, look for the jump.

What character in this game has the most mind games potential?
Oh man, that sounds like a hard read kind of deal. I think it's something I could keep in mind, though I feel safer with st.LP or st.MP to catch them out of a jump, and follow-up with EX Peach if I can. Generally, from comments, I guess EX Peach has flexible uses that I'm not using properly, or at least enough.
I think Capcom hasn't fixed it yet because 1.) it's probably somewhat complicated (and we know even the easy things aren't easy for them these days) and 2.) it doesn't seem to have cost anybody significant money in tournaments yet.
Much better, although if you're looking for tips, in the very first round you were so committed to doing your patented body splash that you didn't realize he misspaced a fireball and you had a free jumping heavy kick (0:43). You also missed some ex peach punish opportunities after blocking heavy normals (his st HP and sweep) but I think you won that round.
You've probably done this, but when I play Mika and I have the opponent in the corner (on wakeup), sometimes I stay back at sweep-only range and wait for them to sweat to death. Provided I have at least one EX bar I don't feel there's much some opponents can do to her there. I'm far enough that I can anticipate a jump in and do cr mp if not WAP (which sometimes misses if too close), but close enough that if they whiff something I can punish, or if they get defensive I can dash > grab. Because of the hit box of her f+mp you can chance that as well, since it's longer than most mediums and some heavies. Not saying it would have worked against him, but it's something I do.
Yeah I try the cheesy setups once and if the opponent knows what's up I have absolutely no problem using Nadeshiko as an anti air/ anti fireball / anti pressure single hit that lets me get in (or out). That's really where I think she shines, as it gives my brain a split second to catch up while throwing the opponent off for the same amount of time.
I'm against no purpose taunting but the mic is an attack. It's weird to see people react to it like a taunt. It's the same deal w/ Alex's vskill, but in his case it probably looks more like a taunt because you typically do it after a knockdown / stun.

Mika and Laura I'd say. Laura is scary as fuck with those mixups, I hate her.
I've been thinking a lot about this and sometimes I do it, but I really need to make it a habit. My impatience usually makes me think "I've got them in the corner, now to finish them off asap before they get out," but backing away and waiting for THEM to make a mistake in that situation and not me is a good way to go about things. Usually I'll get too tense in that kind of moment, so I'll eat a dash-in throw, but it's something I'll have to adjust to.
Also, using EX Peach as an actual punish to an opponent's normals isn't something I've been doing. Will do.

maybe it's cause I play Laura, but Mika is more terrifying

Piloting Necalli vs piloting Karin is rather different. I thought I'd be dearly missing her long-ranged buttons but his movement and dash speed more than make up for it.
Got a lot of practice with combos to do. I also wanna figure out the best ways to use his trigger. So far since I haven't memorized his combos, I trigger when an opponent jumps in. Leads to a pretty dirty EX DP.

Presumably, the ESRB is not okay with buttslaps like that in a T rated game.
cause she's supposed to be sexy?
And Mika isn't? All her bits are hanging out. Laura's boobs are out, Mika's got windows for hers.

Hey Flux, I ran into him on my alt account as well...smh
let the rank get to me and made a bunch of mistakes man...
Glad you took a match from him, we can beat this dude baby! Lets level up!

I will pay real money for a sensible Laura costume.
Also her story mode depicts her as dumber than Mika and Rufus.
Haha, great to see that calculated fireball spam remains the go-to even when going against a character with fireballs.
It you were a bit scared, I don't think you showed it much during the very first two rounds. I felt a bit of fear and a lot more hesitation after that, though.
Sorry, I'm not great at the advice thing, but I can say that I think you were doing a lot better when you made him approach you rather than the other way around. When you matched his fireball spam or exceeded it, he'd generally stop and actually jump over them towards you to close the distance. That's when you'd sometimes hit with a shoryuken, or whatever else that would turn the tide in your favor. You did a lot more of the approaching, though, and that was getting you messed up a lot of the time. I would have liked to see you force him to approach you instead more often.
It's surprising how one's mental state will have such a significant impact on how someone plays, aside from their actual skill. I'm getting better at dealing with opponents who would intimidate me before, but—and I hate this about myself—I'll still sometimes see opponents with lower LP or who I perceive to be weaker and tell myself that whatever I do, I'll end up winning. And that's when I get messed up and lose 150 LP or something. I need to concentrate on my psyche during a match more.

GAF seems to have a big Mika army. I'm one of them. I love this music video on the Mika hate.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgvLMrntpXU
Love the Mika buttslap CA. RIP buttslap.
I would say that a character's movements convey their personality. Even her j.LP is her striking a model pose. An aspect of her character is obviously that she likes to show her body off.
The buttslap is whatever, but I'm annoyed they also took off the leg split at the end of her CA.

Yeah. I liked that leg split too. Probably won't have any damage against Chunners since she basically leg split all day on her SBK.
I STILL don't get that change. I had to go back and look the video when they originally showed her off to make sure I didn't imagine it.
let us have our fun. Our sexy, sexy fun.

That entire uproar over Mika, was just... ugh. I've been on Gaf for over ten years and the only ban I've ever gotten was during that idiotic controversy, lol.
Nash?

No. And fuck him right in the ear. All we can do is pray Capcom has the balls to weaken some of his defenses, even though they won't touch posterchild.
That sounds potentially right. Hm.
Heh, well we'll see how things even out in the future.
Ryu's become the character I fear the most next to Chun-Li.

This Ryu incarnation is pretty fucking great, though. I guess his ceiling is just lower compared to Nash, Ken or Vega? I don't get why we don''t see top pro players not named Daigo using him.
Bc they have honor and don't use cheap characters
jk
I'd be curious if Guile will still counter Ryu in this version

Nash and Necalli are both good vs Ryu. Lots of characters are relatively even.
It's not like Ryu is broken, he's just very well rounded. Most characters have weaknesses you can point to, Ryu doesn't.

A character without weaknesses is not a good thing.
There are a lot of salty comments I'll redact, but SFV Ryu is not one of them. He's a fucking Gundam to players, an amazingly safe character with answers to absolutely every advance.
I've literally improved against every character in the game, but not Ryu, and he's by far the most used online. It's like no practice can really break into him for me.

In most games Dhalsim does pretty well against him. Not sure about this game.
Ryu is great though. He's a very balanced character, as he should be. Not the best at everything but pretty damn good at everything.
Ryu generally doesn't have weaknesses. His weakness is that he's Ryu. He's very solid but never excels in anything.A character without weaknesses is not a good thing.

I've been playing SFV on my cousin's PS4 a lot and I freaking love it! I'm not a big fan of fighting games and I can say this game could get me hooked into the genre due to the awesome and tight controls. Got so inspired especially with Chun-Li that I drew her. Hope it's ok to post it here

Ryu's been like that in every game. It just happens that in this game that good fireballs and meterless invincible reversals are a scarcity, which is unusual for a street fighter.
Ryu matchup is kinda wacked out in this game because his jLK beats a lot of Dhalsim anti airs like cMP.
