Street Fighter V |OTV| BUFF MY MAIN & NERF THE CHARACTER I JUST LOST TO

Mr. X

So, question for everyone. I like characters that play mid-range, have a reversal, have a good AA, and have safe specials for chip damage. I currently use Necalli. Is this the best choice?

Second, I'll be adding everyone whose posted his/her tag on here to PSN for some games (I'm also planning to double-dip with USF4). My tag is stnhdr, please add me if you want! I'm down to play with any region.
Ryu or Necalli, Guile maybe?
Chun has no safe specials, reversal needs meter.

Finally made it to silver after 3-4 times getting close (around the 1980 LP mark) then getting knocked back down to bronzeland thanks to inexperience and bad decisions.

Patience is what gets you through Gold. Just block and punish when they do something super unsafe. At that level, chances are high the opponent will just hang themselves if you let them.

Anyone playing? CFN EdziPC

EDIT: Isn't someone here named HardRojo? Just ran into you in casuals, but didn't grant the runback since the connection was terrible. Sorry!

Yeah just played against your Alex. It was fine enough here I think, GG.
Edit: Vega is my nightmare, can't never win against one. I find myself having trouble against Alex and Necalli too (Necalli has a DP and a godlike jab, what else does he need lol).

Sweet, netted myself a cool 10,500Fm. The online challenge was tough mostly due to lag but when the fights are good they are really good even when I lose. Practicing with Urien but after countless losses I always run back to Bison's embrace for revenge, lol.

Anyway managed to win a few fights with Urien

Any tips to improve my game with Urien?
You never combo'd after EX head butt, either lk tackle for the knockdown or f.mp for the reset mixup.

And you gotta antiair, you were letting him jump all over you.

Necalli has a 3 frame AA jab, invincible DP, AND a command grab. If he gets in your face, prepare to cry.

And yeah, forgot about the freaking command grab. His st.MK is very deceiving range wise and his cr.MK has great range too, being special cancellable to boot.

Second day almost over and i still can't login, maybe capcom banned some of us because of the server capacity and for a better connection.

Nah, you just have to try again. That's what happens to me, and I have an AMAZING connection.

Their map puts me in California for some reason too

Yep. Made a lot of these mistakes lol. Combo after EX headbutt and anti air, still trying to get a hang of that.

Man Guile really seems like a terrible match for Urien. He just beats everything.

I really need to stop playing at this time. I get tons of matches with one sided lag and of course I get all of it. You can tell so easily when the game is nearly unplayable for you yet your opponent hits all his combos and reacts to everything as if nothing is wrong. They really need to fix that.
 
So, do people get punished for rq'ing for real now? Because I still encounter people doing it like it's pre-punishment patch all over again.
 
Punished if they do it more than once. 3 times maybe?

They lose 1000lp and are banned for matchmaking for a short while.

Most people who rq tend to have winstreaks.
I don't know how long they think they can prolong that streak with just 3 tries. Is there a reset on the 3 times?

I think the problem with the current RQ system is that you can do one or two for free. Which is probably enough for most.

Yeah, I'm done watching Excellent Adventures. Gootecks is just the most insufferable scrubby whiny man child I've ever seen.

8 frames man, they holding him back. everything's safe now because of 8 frames. -8 moves are now 0. He's gotta play on PC so he's better. no lag there at all. He also needs to stop playing low tier characters like mika and ryu.

You'd be whiny too if you spent an incredible sum of money to go to different states and countries to play, only to get bodied.

Pretty sure he was mostly invited to the overseas events. The thing that bothers me is that he's the type of guy to post self-help motivational stuff on facebook only to just blame the game.

even if it isn't like mnz said blaming the game for you sucking is a sucky thing to do. need to just realize you're bad at the game it's that simple. you see someone like snake eyez always complain yet people like stupendous and itazan are actually doing decent with gief regardless of the character's faults. learn to adapt or move on.
 
Ken evolved.
eww

Also, I watched that latest episode of Excellent Adventures and Holy Shit, this guy is rewinding frame by frame after HE gets a crush counter and messed up a follow up dash. He's trying to frame it as though that execution error cost him the match.

This is not a good look for him. And somehow that execution error is also the fault of 8 frames?

Excellent Adventures has suffered a bit since SFV and this latest set of episodes with no guests (and that were taped a million years ago) has been a drag. I'm looking forward to the next set though.

Hopefully they taped some good guests who were in town for SoCal regionals or something.

I think I'm done with ranked. I've had aspirations of moving up, but nah. To much scum resides in ranked, at least from my experience. Sticking to casuals and battle lounge.

Mike Ross was in Vancouver and I didn't see Gootecks either at SoCal regionals.

What do you define as scum?

Every time I decide to jump into some ranked, it's like clockwork. First match is almost always a rage quitter. I've had it happen a couple more times throughout the night. That and the fact that a majority of players don't wanna play the full set. They either take the points and run or they lose and don't wanna run the risk of losing any more points and run. It makes the whole process of moving up to the next level slower and frustrating.

I often give the benefit of the doubt. Like, if there's any lag, I won't rematch in ranked. But I might in casual if it isn't too bad.

And no one is really obligated to give you the runback. It just sucks if opponents leave after a 1-1.
