Hi everyone. Pondering jumping into SF5, but the few people I played SF4 with aren't ready to commit to buying the game yet. I've got a few questions, mostly about community to help contradict this factor, that some of you could maybe help answer.

I'm a very low level player when it comes to fighters in general. Know a little bit more about SF4. Is the matchmaking only populated with high end people or would I be able to use it and have a back and forth match (even if I stay "bronze" forever)?

About the community here, do you guys have a discord channel or some other means of grouping up? Are people regionally well distributed or is it very US/Americas centric? Thinking if I could find people to lobby with decent pings to me.

Thanks for reading.

Seems like low level is still well populated. There are are also a lot of people outside of US here as well.

There are plenty of people in rookie/bronze

There's no discord that I know of, we just use this thread.

Right now is probably a pretty good time to get started. There has been a big influx of players recently, thanks to Capcom releasing Akuma and the Season 2 balance patch, so there should be many more people for you to play against. I cannot speak to the game being regionally well distributed, but I've had no problem finding matches in the EU.

There is a general fighting game discord, which you can find in the FGC OT, but it is not super active in my experience.

Thanks both. Do you feel that there are a lot of people in low ranks that really should be there or as some times happens a result of bad distribution (I'm thinking of other game's match makings in which the "bell curve" is on the low side). I don't mind losing if I'm obviously worse, but getting bodied without chance to react feels a bit more demoralising than a gradual beat down :p

There should be bunch of bronze players still. It is pretty america centric game but I bet you can find matches easily.

It's probably just a temporary setback. I'm sure that the Ryu army will be back.

I hope thats not the case and Akuma army replaces Ryu army forever.

What was Nash's v-reversal like in S1? I thought that thing was really good and made for a free getaway even if the opponent read it right? To me it just looks like its been made punishable if the opponent makes the correct read.
Click to expand...

He telaports further away in S1. He can be thrown in the start of the activation. Like i said in the other thread, Capcom probably doesn't know what the s2 changes do.Speaking of v-reversal, how is "Backflip into a corner and still be safe" Vega?

Just gone in for a quick blast and noticed in the shop that the Santa outfits pack is £14.99!! :O the 2017 Season Pass for seven characters is another £24.99 o_O

There isn't enough in the game to keep me playing to get the fight cash to buy the other stages etc, the original game cost me (cannot remember exactly) £35-40 then there was the 2016 pass which was £25, for a service shouldn't it have been £35-40 inclusive for 2016?

I have just downloaded the main story mode/thing so will give that a go over this week.

Call me crazy, but I actually like the Ryu matchup.
Though that's not to say that I wouldn't mind a more even distribution of characters online, where about 1/4 people I meet in Ranked play Ryu.
Click to expand...

Oh there is nothing wrong with the matchup. I am just tired of it.

There is two discord servers for SFV this one of them and they are both very active with many online weeklies.

NGL, Mika looking like a giant in the selection screen bother me more than any amount of clipping

edit: at least on the selection screen. it'd have been easy to design around this by just not letting people extend to the other half of the screen. clipping actually bothers me more on actual gameplay, but I get that it is a hard problem, whereas 'people not looking giant due to wonky perspective' is easily solved

Does anyone have advice on how to practice Urien's f.mp->dangerous headbutt? Does it have to be the MP version of headbutt when u do it? I'm currently playing on stick and am having trouble linking this, and I need it for a aegis reset I want to land.

Her lp, mp, hp target combo doesnt have much range to start with. So it's difficult to start sometimes

St.mk into st.mp, then cancel into H.Kazegiri is nice damage and not too difficult to confirm into. And I really like to use st.mp into forward mk as you see ;). The overhead can combo into the Gogasha target combo for some nice mixups-

This may be a dumb question, so I apologize for my ignorance before hand. What are the chances that the Halloween DLC hits again next year? I completely missed out on getting the outfits and stage before they went off the market. It's a shot in the dark, but I figured I'd ask. :)

You only had 5 halloween costumes, so you'll see the return of those + 5 more or the rest of the cast hopefully

So I just picked up SFV on steam and was wondering, is there anyway to disable motion blur?
Click to expand...
Motion blur is affected by the post processing settings in graphics options. The two highest settings include it, so the one just below that will disable it. You can disable just motion blur by editing an .ini. The will leave the rest of the post processing intact though I couldn't tell you what the specific effects are.

Edit: here's a link

Click to expand...

I still hate her in this game. Honestly killed a lot of the excitement I had in general for the game. Still love it, but Ibuki is by far my favorite SF character and this iteration plays nothing like her until you have vtrig.

Anyway, anybody trying to fight my scrubby Akuma?

Then I'm one of the few that like her incarnation here :p I really didn't feel her in SF4, but that was more due to not feeling the game. Love how they removed the vortex stuff, but I really liked the neckgrab special.

You have the best picture of her in the avatar though! She's all about getting in and tricking it up. You seem to be getting a hang of her specials now

Edit:

Have work tomorrow so gotta head to bed before its too late. Thanks for playing with me. Was really nice playing a fellow gaffer, not least a fellow Ibuki. I will write down some tips now after I eat. We gotta do this again sometime..

So.. I took the plunge on PC. Is the game supposed to "freeze" a bit on last hit even when not a super/special move?

Also just got a weird memory error, wasn't a crash but after closing the game.

That freeze happens regularly in offline modes (for whatever reason), and I occasionally get the same crash on shutdown, but it doesn't seem to affect anything. So yeah, that's normal.
