Article about why Red Bull Kumite was such a great event. My favourite bit:
The hero SFV deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

Yes, the transitions are the best! I was hoping Guiles' stage would have them, but judging from the hype I'm guessing not.

Oh shit...how does the guy do it? I'd have gone insane!

Actually, it needs him now more than ever.

That guy should rent out his services.
I was going to suggest this, but then assumed they'd be shut down as Capcom inevitably make their "colour booster packs" available for purchase!
Probably with the Survival mod.

But RBK was played on PS4.

The real MVP...
Beating character who arent you main on Hard mode is a pain, heck, even with your main its a pain. Seriously, put in work. Hopefully by next year, all colors are unlocked at all events. I know I personally feel out of place if I cant pick by dark brown Ken.

I was gonna say when I saw Black Chun that I can't believe that someone actually went through survival to unlock the colors. They're the real winner of this tourney.

That black + purple that Alioune used was one of the fight money unlock costume colors IIRC

Damn, they even bought the FM store exclusive colors?
lucebuce12

Well, if they're doing survival up to hard with all the characters then getting colours 1-13 is to be expected. Don't think color 14-15 was accessible though as that requires the character level to be 25 and 50 respectively.

I'm a Ken player who was using Ryu just because he's easier to play ranked with... and I'm excited for Guile.
I cannot seem to find the best "method" for doing this anywhere... google is not helping. Perhaps you could PM me some details about how to get it working?
Guile is going to be Thursday, I'd wager.
Alex was the last Thursday of March, so Guile being the last Thursday of April makes sense to me.

He's talking about the survival mod for pc.

I meant not to play WITH him but AGAINST him.
Bison at least can struggle in that matchup.

Yeah I'm kinda curious now. If he comes out on a Wednesday like Alex did, the patch would be today, right?

So I got my Hori FC4 over the weekend, and after about a half hour of banging my head against a wall to get it to work on PC, I put some time in with it. Being able to reliably do throws is a godsend, and has already helped out a ton. I used to map my jabs to the shoulder buttons so it was always a crapshoot if I could get them both pressed at the same time. I went 7/10 on matches which is way better than my average.
I'm starting to definitely see that my biggest weakness as Necalli is when someone turtles and just punishes my approach. I tend to do much better when I'm either on the defensive or when the person I'm playing against is trying a rushdown strategy. I've gotten pretty solid at anti-airing but most of Necalli's big damage combos are from a jump-in too, so I'm eating just as many anti-airs.
That said, I am REALLY not looking forward to Guile. He's basically built to ruin me. Doubly so if the recovery on his booms is fast, as eating fireballs with Disc's Guidance is one of my favorite tools to get in on opponents.

Cammy definitively needs a buff after spending time on her. Her corner pressure sucks for a character that is suppose be a rush down character with only two crush counter with one of them whiffing if to close and loosing to jabs/short. And lol her Dive Kick hitbox.
SUPA bronze
She's fine. I don't need a crush counter when my buttons are awesome and my hp is 7 frames.
I mean, I wouldn't mind buffs, but I feel like the changes people want to make to cammy would make her pretty broken.
lucebuce12
Member
Personally I'd either give her an air throw or slightly buff the advantage/lessen the disadvantage for 2 or 3 normals.
Can't hooligan air throw?
lucebuce12
Member
I believe it only works on standing opponents. And even if it does air throw, it'd have to be done prematurely while the opponent is in the air, not something you can do on reaction (probably why I'm so unsure as to whether it air throws).
KhalilSyncere
Member
Yeah, it air throws.
She has the best corner pressure tool of the whole game: her walking speed.
She's more than fine.
lucebuce12
Member
This is true though. While Bison can pressure you with insane normals and Necalli can keep mixing things up, Cammy can make you doubt every action while you're in the corner because of that move speed and essentially be in control of the situation.
She doesn't need anything. Shes already top tier.
That's.... debatable.
Zombegoast
Member
Yeah if the opponent doesn't press any button she's fine. I have a like a 80% win rate against this character and zone her out with Nash.
Cammy's cr.MP needs to be 4 frames so she has a frame trap that works reliably against counter reversal jabs instead of being forced to link backwards into st.LP / st.LK to harass people, since no one cares if they get hit by those moves at far range
That's pretty much all I'd ask for, other than maybe small quality of life fixes to some irritating things, like...
Spin Knuckle should push back less on hit
EX Cannon Strike on hit should knock the opponent slightly farther forward so you don't have the opponent crossing you over four times while they're spinning
Vertically increase the hitbox in both directions for the Critical Art so it's less likely to whiff in weird spots like the corner
As for extra moves or such, I have no idea what they could give her that wouldn't break her. Though it is a bit demoralizing that so many characters have overheads and command grabs in this game and she's just kinda left there lol.

Why? Follow ups on Spin Knuckle hit are more than gracious enough for her to do her business.
Her CA doesn't really need what you're asking for here either. You just have to be aware of which button you using per where the character is. It hits just fine if you aware of that.
