We had a topic a week ago about women in eSports. Got a whooping 15 relies or so.
Anything about SFV? Time to shitpost.
Been practing my parries in training mode. Balrog seems like a dude I shouldn't use it on unless I can catch him doing a punch from full screen but man if I could convert that to damage....

Not sure but Winter Brawl X was the first ranking event this year. Final Round was the first premier.

Yup.
I'm deciding on either going to that or CEO. I hear the latter gets real muggy and hot tho.
Edit: Oops forgot about winter brawl.
Winter Brawl wasnt a ranking event though. It was the first USA sfv major

Ah you are correct. It was Cannes Winter Clash that was the first ranking event. Winter Brawl X wasn't even a ranking event lol.
CWC is also gonna be taking place this year Feb 24-26 so I guess an assumption can be made that could be the start of the CPT.
The 16 base ones aren't
And they've reduced the cost of the S1 pass already, so...time to pass along the savings.

Need some advice fighting fans.
I told my girlfriend that I wanted to try and get good at Street Fighter so she bought me a mini Hori fight stick for the PS4.
I've never used a fight stick before and I like that this Hori stick isn't too big and I can play with it on my lap, but...
I am absolutely terrible with it.
I've looked up online tutorials showing me how to hold the stick itself and I've spent about an hour in the training mode trying to get the inputs down but I'm really struggling to land anything with any consistency.
In comparison when I use the standard DS4 controller I find it so much easier to pull off moves.
Should I stick with the stick or go back to the controller? I'm finding the game borderline unplayable with the stick at present
A stick isn't going to make you "good", use whatever works for you.

Question: are the ranked fight challenges listed in your fighter profile supposed to be active? I've noticed their completion rate has never gone up. I'm pretty sure I've been completing the actions described in them during ranked matches.

Is there any way to get costumes for free? I just got this game and for some reason I was under the impression that everything could be either unlocked or purchased with fight money.
Thanks!
Thanks!
You can earn gameplay-related content for free. While Story Costumes can be earned via Fight Money, all other costumes cost real money.
Premium costumes are the only thing you cannot buy with Fight Money.

I could've sworn that one of the S1 DLC characters had that too. Can't remember which.

It's a shitty thread, I regret posting once in it.
This is my home for everything SFV.
Did they? It was still $30 when I got S2 pass two days ago!

S.hp as well.
Just checked it out in the lab, I can't believe I missed that. Hopefully Capcom does more of this throughout Season 2.
I'm convinced they should have done the f2p thing of having random drops, some opening animation lottery and people would go crazy over the free content. Right now Capcom is giving away whole season passes worth of Fight Money and they get yelled at at the same time, it's absurd.
I wrote it in that thread, too, but I have about 540k FM right now and can get season 2 completely for free if I want to. I don't even know any other game that has something like that.

Qualitywise it's fine, but it is way too slow.

Is there a reliable site where I can see the hitboxes for S2?
It is similar to Heroes of the Storm in that people see the shop and price of costumes, get sticker shock, bitch about it, and never play the game. When in reality, farming up heroes in that game is so damn easy they are practically free. I am becoming more convinced that bringing this style of F2P system, which is in other games I play daily on my PC, to the console space was a mistake. It is just not how people in this ecosystem are used to interacting with their games, while on PC it is the norm.
Are there any other console games that have this system and it is accepted? Paragon maybe? I haven't played it since it went live.
There's a sweet animation when you open the boxes tho!
I actually defended the lootboxes in overwatch when it was just the base game ones, but once they started doing the event costumes being locked to lootboxes and unable to buy them with the ingame currency I was out.

I still don't know why you guys think Nash has been severely nerfed. Is he the new Greninja...

The only grinding I've done was playing easy survival with every character, there's no way I would have done that without the reward.
Everything else like trials, story mode and demonstrations I would have done anyway. Even the challenges, although they are admittedly pretty lame.
Ah you're right, I've even seen it in HOTS myself. I guess Capcom should take notice then. For some stupid reason people want the lottery.
He didn't even have good wake up options to begin with lol, oh man...I still don't know why you guys think Nash has been severely nerfed. Is he the new Greninja...

After finally managing to put in some time with S2 FANG, I've come to a conclusion.
He's ass.
Is Laura good these days?

I'm sorry.
Sorry that F.A.N.G's ass or that Laura isn't good or both?
first time I have seen that gif without crying jordan.
I imagine you could set up FANG's v-reversal with punishes like that too.

I can't even explain it.
In season 1, FANG was shit then too but he was FUN.
In season 2, even though he's gotten some decent buffs with the most worthwhile in my eyes being that his trap now lasts long enough to meaty after a CA or sweep with late recovery, he just doesn't feel FUN anymore.

First Mika online and is from Barbados. That's how I feel.
Getting out of corner against Gief is a lot harder now.
He's too good now?

The opposite. He is actually so bad that I can't even play him even though I should be relishing the challenge.
