I'm down. What's your tag?
That's what V Reversals are for. Very underrated tool in this game, even still IMO. It's especially good now since the white life it causes is super dangerous with the recovery nerf.

They made them way worse. Guess what? ALSO requires meter.
Edit:
They should have done one of two things;
1) everyone has meterless reversal, white life is nerfed (like it is in S2)
2) no one has meterless reversals, white life is S1 status

So have I. All of the chars I play a decent amount of (Ibuki, Guile, Bison, etc) were that way.
They want the game to be for everyone (so it seems) yet they made it even harder for new players to get out of pressure, and the white life builds up so a single hit will eventually do 125% or more of it's normal dmg.

General season 2 impressions.
Laura benefits more from the DP nerf than any other character. Pressure for days. I thought she was great in season 1, but now her most troublesome match ups are lot more manageable.
Mika is actually better now I'm some ways. she's a lot more honest, you can't just put someone in the corner for free, but she's still a fucking nightmare now that meaties can stuff DPs.
Juri is still incredibly hard to use, which is crazy considering everyone from SFIV is much easier to use now. I have never played a character with so many road blocks. I just can not achieve decent results with her, no matter how much I practice. It still feels like she's a brand new character designed to be in another game. She got a ton of QOL improvement, but a lot of her changes aren't things you'll be doing outside of training mode . At least not from the current batch of high level Juris out there. Outside of her st mp to st mk, which is difficult to link and incredibly awkward all around for me to use. More training mode with this one.
Cammy. St mp, st mp, st mp, stop fucking breaking my throw, cr mk, st mk. Ex dive kick nerfs weren't warranted. Thankfully the gray life health nerf is a big buff to her pressure game.

I can't get over how goddamn braindead Ryus are online, and why it always seems to work. Every single knockdown leads to a meaty setup, and all they do is hold forward/jump/dash and go on the offensive with his amazing buttons and throws. Those dashes especially make me think he's just a bit too fast for how good his buttons/damage are.

Is it bad that I'm inclined to disagree with everything you say, even when I agree?

Good to know that you're experiencing it too lol.
My bad if i didnt provide a challenge. This was my first week getting back into SFV after a long break, trying to get my groove back.

Is akuma -5 or -7 on Dp cancel into V-trigger?
oB of course.
oB of course.
I just block unless they prove they're willing to go for a throw me like 3 times in a row.
Every Ryu I've fought goes in for the dash grabs immediately once they realize I'm blocking a couple hits, and then back to the offense.

His throw does nothing for him mid screen anymore. He doesn't even get a meaty normal. Well his sweep does reach, but it's very punishable. He has to walk forward for everything else and walking forward a few frames will put Ryu at frame disadvantage. All I can hope for someone to press a wake up button to extend their hurtbox so I can crush counter it with st. HP or catch them with something else. He doesn't even get throw loops in the corner anymore. Their is a bit of space and after a little walk forward he's not in frame advantage anymore.
As for his normals. They're is nothing amazing about them, they just compliment his fireball game decently. They're stubby and can't compete with most characters if Ryu players just want to throw down with buttons. Even the block strings are nothing to brag about. It's not like he's Cammy.
I do think I overreacted the first day when I was talking about how nerfed he was. He's still OK, I think he'll be considered mid tier in most tier list. At least he's not trash as far as I can tell. I would still like special cancelable st. HP at all times though

Are we talking about Top 5 Always Ryu? Because Ryu was like Top 5 everywhere.

It seems to be recorded somewhere in your profile, but I am not sure exactly where.
You could sign up for V-League.pro, which pulls that information for both ranked and casuals, as well as other stuff.

I use the @SFV_CFN both on twitter. Just tweet them your CFN and they'll reply with a neat wee card with your stats on.

Not great? Most people considered him top 3.

I would say take the time and learn. Hit training mode, play casuals or a lounge with friends or GAF peeps so you can get experience. Charge characters are very much worth learning as it adds versatility to your possible roster choices and helps you become a better defensive and more patient player.

The only system-wide balance change I dislike is the white life nerf. Everything else is pretty good and I've almost never played meterless reversal using characters, so waiting my turn seems perfectly natural.
Getting in as Alex requires more meter now imo, but I don't hate how he gets in. If you use it properly (particularly against fireball characters) his EX stomp either puts your opponent in knockdown state or it leaves you right in front of them with positive blockstun. I had a lot of fun using this movement pattern against Guiles just a few days ago. It helps tremendously that he gets projectile invul starting from frame 1 of his EX stomp. It may well be almost as good as an auto-tracking buff.

Asking again
Also, what are some good Balrog CC combos? St.hk xx cr.hp xx heavy upper xx light dash punch seems to be the best option.

that is the best non meter option. EX dash is worth it if you have it and ex dash v skill punch cancel ex dash is also worth it if you have two meters.

My version of Street Fighter is already switched back to the official one but it still says that it's [test 200] in the steam menu. Anyway to get rid of it?

Do we know who the baby was supposed to be or did it not matter to them?

There was a design concept for Akuma where he’d fight with a baby strapped to his back. His V-Trigger would put the baby to sleep, allowing him to unleash his true power.
That would've been amazing, lol. Also the baby using Akuma's prayer beads like a pacifier.
The baby is representative of Akuma's fanbase.
It's just a random baby, but the designer mentions it possibly growing up as Akuma's protégé in a future installment. I figure Akuma found the baby abandoned on his travels (or maybe he even killed its parents).

Hmm. Maybe it's an orphan and he could name it Ryu. Or maybe Evil Ryu?

What the hell? This can't be real. That is amazing. Hopefully that becomes a costume one day.

Agreed. If they really are going for a beastly look then they should have used that one. The bun just looks off in his default costume.

I really really like the third one tbh. Hope that becomes a costume some day.

So glad they didn't make him look like Necalli.

Haven't you played the character story?
That's not Akuma, that is the offspring of the unholy union of Necalli and Akuma:
Was trying to find some people to play with and got some 1 bar connections in people which I don't think are far away to qualify for 1 bar (I don't know what that constitutes in ms).
Going to see if port forwarding makes a difference, are the ports in the OP definitely correct? When I was searching for this some internet posts had conflicting port numbers
