So I always said I'd come back to SFV when they released Ibuki as she has been my favorite character since they added her in SFIII.

Holy shit.. NOPE.
I'm thinking of bailing out again.
What did they do to her??

This is not lamenting the lack of vortex... I never used it... nor was i skillful enough to set it up.

They took away her signature moves!
EX Neck breaker was the my favorite "go fuck yourself" anti-fireball move. Gone.
She also lost her spin kicks and her hop over kicks...

These are the moves that made Ibuki... Ibuki.
I don't even know how to play her now...

Her kunais still do next to no damage and now you have to refill them? What is this?

Maybe I'm missing something, but it's like they removed all of Ibuki's methods of playing as a rush down character... how are you even supposed to use her now? She's not a fireball character... or a zoning character... what is she?

So frustrated with this game... and I was already frustrated.

It feels like Balrog has nothing on wakeup.

He doesn't have anything except a 3F Jab.

 

[Edzi]

Because he doesn't, same as a lot of the cast. I'm used to being helpless on wakeup thanks to Alex, but it still sucks. At least they have armored EX moves, in case your opponent sucks at meaties.

It's a short

at least it goes into target combo knockdown

and he has super

Compared to Vega he's not that bad I suppose

 

[Zerojul]

Hit ranked for the first time in a long, long while.
Didn't come acroos a single ragequitter and hit Super Silver. It was easy enough.
Maybe gold isn't out of reach after all

The connection went to shit. GGs

GG's. Had to get the hard survival tendencies out of me in the first set. I dropped so many meaties and some combos.

Edit: Anyone else wanna play some sets?

I noticed you never tech throws so I just went ham on them lol

 

[Shackzam]

I was trying to react with a button and just get thrown. Hard survival got me super scared to tech throws. I need to l play more real people. I'd rather take a throw then a full combo.

A few people I've played with from GAF feel like they're trolling you when they start kicking your ass.

 

[Zombegoast]

Looks like the matchmaking fix was only temporary. Actually it made things even worse by matching me against people outside the US more often.

But today the rollback is a lot worse during the Weekend. In no way is playing someone from Israel 5 bars and have that much lag. The same with a ken player in the US to lags much worse with 4 bars.

I wasn't trolling, he mostly beat me in the neutral so when I got him into a corner I had to take advantage and open him up.

You can't react with a button, the throw is a meaty.

Oh no I meant when you just did dash up throw after whatever button you just hit. I know about the meaties. I did the same throw stuff to you as well. It's so good.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Oh shit, I think I found something really good with Balrog.

Sweet, been looking for something like this.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

If an opponent is mashing a 3F jab, any medium button cancelled to HP Straight will trade and give Rog enough frame advantage to do LP, MP, or EX Straight, Raw super (Shown in gif), or St.HP.

Possible Combo with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZjXenecwL0

Oh god, you can also get walk up C.MK if the opponent is standing.

Holy crap, was this your fight? God, I'd almost think it was staged, but she even baited out a V reversal. Oh man, don't let it get to you man

Oh, Milhouse line threw me. Not up on my Simpsons lore enough.
Anyway congrats, a well earned double perfect.

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";209230294]Cammy definitely isn't weak. Look up Xiao Hai matches. Cammy makes a lot of high placings at major tournaments. Kazunoko won Tokyo Button Mashers with her.[/QUOTE]
Ah, I know she gets results. But her hp and stun is just off putting for me.

Then again I suppose when I think about it, that's down to me getting hit too much lol

[skLaFarebear]

Only counted twice where the Bison blocked and one of them was just to throw out a V-reversal. Good shit punishing everything and great reads.

Thanks. I had no right to get away with most of the shit I was doing but I'll take it.

Late to the jungle monkey post but yikes! There is still time to set her on the right path!

You're late to the explanation too

 

[Zackat]

Of course Laura's premium color 10 would be the best one

I have all of them and color 7 is the best one imo. 10 is next best though.

Would still have to beat hard to get it

I'm not willing to put myself through that. Beat easy and normal and that's all im willing to do.

ps4 huh? RIP that color dream. Easily the best part about playing on PC.

Am I tho?

[Bob White]

Two different Ultra Gold Fengs just rq'd on me. Not even mad but, why play if you don't want to get good?

 

[Steroyd]

Sweet Jesus I just completed charge characters' trials and thought they weren't hard, fuck me I've come along way, still can't use one in battle yet but at least I've got a grasp.

 

[Ryce]

Speaking of trials, which are considered the easiest? I've only beaten Zangief's, Birdie's, Mika's, Laura's, and Necalli's, and I'm having trouble with the rest. I'm pitiful at this game.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Would've gotten it on PC a long time ago if there were cross platform account implementations, but I'm in too deep to back out now (that and the PS4 is tourney standard for whenever I finally start going out to tournies and casuals more).

Could be because I'm a Laura main, but hers were definitely the easiest.

I haven't been able to beat any of them, so you're way beyond me.

You can do it with jab into the uppercut as well.

Not too sure what the utility of either of these is, though. Not super likely your opponent is mashing jab after moves that are + on block. Maybe if you show some tick throw over and over? The downside seems too high for when they block the special.

 

[Laputa_94]

I've been practicing Dictator more and have been able to perform a handful of combos somewhat reliably... in training that is. I have tried out ranked in the first time in a couple days and actually won the majority of my matches, the problem is I have yet to implement my combos into an actual match. I am obviously improving, slowly but surely.

Ryu's, Balrog's and Rashid's are pretty easy

idk, but just the other day count was complaining about not getting enough rewards on mashers, so this might help him

 

[Neoxon]

I was able to come up with this in the lab.

Nope, her's are a total joke for anyone.

Speaking of total jokes, balrog is a really good survival mode character.

Where's the last hit after the ex upkicks ahh
