It's ok man, no one's gonna be watching your inputs in matches.
Though I'd recommend practicing in training mode on your downtime. Practicing it as a Reversal, practicing it in combos, practicing it as counters to specific situations like Using Balrog's CA against a fireball.
Muscle Memory is not something you can shortcut you way through.
Then you won't mind people play in a stage that doesn't look stupid.
You're right, I don't. I just don't get why people get so up in arms about it. Like bringing up the topic from yesterday.

The only reason I'm not a fan of Training stage is the music that gets incredibly annoying after a while. Otherwise, like you said, I'm focusing on the fight.

I've found playing when tired and playing when you're visibly irritated and frustrated never leads to victories.Every single match now is:

Expression when it starts.
Expression when it ends.
I am terrible.
Take a deep breath, calm down. Take a little break, have some refreshment. Think of Persona 5 if that helps.
Then go back once you're refreshed. The most important thing though, is to keep that fresh loss out of your mind. It won't do you any good to just dwell on a match that you lost, just keep focusing on the present.

What I found when in the lab with

I'm gonna main her if Capcom decides to make her DLC.

Yeah, that works when it's actually your nerves, but in this case it's my skill. I've been on the biggest loss streak I've ever had, and it's really because I can't keep up and I'm not up to par with the competition.
It's like I'm learning how to play all over again...

A few interesting things about
: none of the variations have any kind of invincibility, like how each one had a different kind in SF4, none of the safe on block either.
: completely invincible, this monster beats any and every srk clean, CC on recovery. Not really safe on block, but it pushes far enough away that only a long reaching normal hits
: medium and heavy not invincible on startup, light seems to be throw invincible on startup (crazy) and standing attacks that hit high will whiff.
: all of these, no matter how high you hit, are neutral on block
: unsafe on block. After this hits, it doesn't matter if you hold up, up forwards or up back, you'll always move forward.
Target combo, interesting thing about the target combo, you can link into it from lp, making it a frametrap on block. will also move forward on jump.
Seems like quite a bit of thought has already gone into the moveset.

If you think that's the case, then go back and watch your replays. You'll have to analyze both your play and theirs in reaction to yours.
Don't have any real advice other than that. If you upload replays, maybe we can try to give some pointers.
EDIT: Oh yes, find some killers near you and play them as much as you can. Seriously, don't think of this loss streak as something bad, think of it as a humbling experience that's eventually only going to make you a better player.
Aren't you playing Rog now? I'm pretty sure a losing streak is expected when you're learning a new character.
Thanks for trying to help, but this is the kind of stuff I've been doing since the start. I have played over 3.1k matches after all, so it's kind of what I've had to do to improve previously, and I also have started going to locals. But this descent from Ultra Platinum to nearing Ultra Gold in one fell swoop is pretty harsh. The transition to Balrog has not been kind to me at all.
Might upload a few replays here, if I really can't figure things out anymore.

You don't charge it at that point. You do the B>F+HP, B>F+P

Oh wait, is this cause you're playing Balrog? That explains it, he sucks. Plus you can't expect to be as good with a lower tier character that came out 3-4 days ago, as compared to a character you've been playing and perfected for months.
Do the CA directly after the sonic boom hits. Consider the sonic boom that you threw the first forward motion of the 2 back+forward motions of the CA.
so it's cr.mp -> sonic boom -> back -> forward -> punch.
The charge of the sonic boom IS the charge of the CA. That's also how you do flash kick into CA.

Which character do you play?
Cause honestly, playing Guiles and Ryus as Birdie has been a hoot and a half (not even being sarcastic. It's like free points at this stage)
Currently playing Rog. No Ryu that knows their tools and plays rushdown is free.
Yeah, though that doesn't make things any easier.
Heh, better or worse than Mika? I sure hope I can eventually adapt to Balrog, though.
lucebuce12

Ouch. Yeah, that's not a fun matchup. Hope I have more advice to give but Rog is just not my style of character.
Oh, most definitely worse than Mika. Mika is like JUST shy of being in that upper tier IMO. But she is certainly better than a chunk of the cast.
I hope you do adapt, but just stating it for the record that Balrog, and really all of the DLC characters, have been close enough to being strong but not quite there. I'd imagine Juri and Urien will have a similar situation. Maybe the future balancing will help, but right now, it seems safer to stick with what you know.
Just my 2 cents though.
EDIT: Edzi put it best, She's Mika tier.
lol, why is walk up grab so good in this game. -__-
Mika is good by virtue of her design, so she never has a truly bad matchup imo. She's not low or high tier, she's Mika tier. Rog is definitely worse than Mika.

Its free. Especially the long thick legged characters like chunners.

I personally think he's the weakest of the 4 that have been released.
Even Ibuki becomes a monster when she gets V-Trigger, Balrog is just so easy to deal with as long as you know what you're doing. A lot of his stuff is either unsafe, or doesn't have much range, or is just plain slow(like his v-skill cancel).
I honestly think people are sleeping on Alex. That dude is one scary character in the right hands.
Awesome thanks.
Eh, I've spent a lot of time with Alex and him and Balrog feel pretty similar to me. Anyone can be scary in the right hands when they get rolling, even Gief.

True, but I feel like Alex has more varied tools at his disposal than a lot of other grapplers.

All this character talk when we should be discussing waifus and costumes.
I'm not really a waifu discussion kind of guy, but goddamn does Juri's design do it for me.

Is there a consensus regarding the story mode and whether it's any good or not? I can only see the spoiler thread, but I don't want to snoop around in that for obvious reasons.
Better than you'd expect, worse than you'd hope. It's good dumb fun.

It could have been a bit better but for a Street Fighter story mode, it was fun.
Why is she
hugging someone who she doesn't even know? Why is she smooshing her breasts in her face?
And am I the only one who kinda wishes we could change the costumes so she could do this with her Battle outfit?
There isn't really a consensus, there are people on both sides of the spectrum. Story is fun but flawed. The loading gets pretty bad, so have GAF open while you play.

I thought you could switch costumes for the story mode.
Super dumb but dumb in an okay way. Don't take it seriously and its fine.
I think it's better the more you know/care about SF lore. It's a quirky cheesy cheaply made ride that's about 3 hours long.
