Reversal hold release type moves don't get the benefit of negative edge.
Theres enough content to justify £40 now but they really should drop it to attract new faces.
Please let Akuma be free, think that would be a brilliant gesture (so not going to happen)
You know, I've been thinking. I'll be really surprised if Oro isn't in the next season of characters released. It makes too much sense at this point.
Before all the characters were announced, bornfree put up a video speculating on who would be in based on some merchandising deals that were made. The video focused on two characters specifically, Oro and Alex. And obviously Alex turned out to be correct.
He also shows up in game, voice acted, in both Sim and Karins character stories, plus they wrote that whole two part short story about Sim and Oro.
And on the gameplay side, his move set would transfer over pretty will to the v system. Trigger probably being him taking out his other arm (which he already does in 3, but people seem to forget that.)
So yeah, I'd be surprised to not see him.
Or maybe I'm just a crazy person.

Oro's trigger would be the rocks. It would be pretty sweet, for sure. Double jumps, command throw shenanigans, and juggles with MP.

I still don't know what Ed's power is.
guile players love me.
I bet they get angry as fuck when lauras j.LK stuffs their non-ex flash kicks.
That doesn't explain why I get normal BH when I release two buttons.
You know, its kinda hard to lab out certain things people are doing to you, when you don't know how to do it yourself lol
I'll play, if youre still looking

When the matches weren't lag infested, good games.
GGs. Might just be a general lack of experience or actual matches played; it seems my Guile's level caught up to your Bison's in the 8-9 days since I've picked him up. For me, # of matches played has always been directly proportional to my ability in these games.
Ha, I play a few other characters, and I'm looking to pick up Nash starting today.

Yes, they look twilight esq...not a good thing IMO. You have some skills, but Laura's mouth looks hideous man. Why you do that to my girl dawg?
I get what you're saying. Still doesn't quite refute what I"m saying either.
And of course Justin Wong is an american player, he was born here. However, that doesn't take away his chinese lineage either, lol.
Not saying the color of his skin matters. Just that...he's still asian.
Oh dude, don't do me like that. I've been playing since beta 1. I'm just bad/dont know how to improve.
Guile I just dont know the match up well. I rarely run into them online for whatever reason. Plus he seems like a really bad match up in general for Bison. He has absolutely no way to get in on him.
Mika on the other hand just feels impossible to play against. No matter how many times I sit in the training room and try to figure out counters to her shit/how to punish her stuff/etc, I just get completely mauled by her.
I know everyone talks about how much they expect Chun to get nerfed, but I honestly expect Mika to get hit the hardest. "Don't let her get started" is not the way to balance a character.
That could mean a lot of things, though. I've been playing since release as well, but I've also played a total of ~12,500 matches across Ranked and Casual, and probably a total of around 14,500 matches if we include Battle Lounge, tournaments and weeklies. I find that, had I not played that much, my pool of experience definitely would not be as deep as it is now, and it's not even that deep.
I think you're placing too much importance on the individual MUs and not enough on the overall fundamentals. We could go for another set and I could show you what I mean, if you want.
Oh I know it isn't just the match ups. You are a far far better player than I am. I'm confident you could beat me just as badly with any character you choose to play.
I don't know about just as badly but, yeah, the thing is that I also have a base understanding of most of the cast, as well as some of the fundamentals I've acquired from my experience. There are a few real basic things that you were letting me get away with in both sets, especially the Mika one, where I decided to just go absolutely wild since it was working.
1. Bison's got a couple of good AAs, but you were still constantly letting me jump in for free. That should be shut down real quick and with priority, because the opponent can get all over you otherwise.
2. Punishes are very important, especially Bison's Crush Counter ones. Look back at the replays during our Guile set, and you'll see that you never once CC'ed me when I screwed up a somersault. You'd go for a very low damage combo, which was sometimes dropped. That's some simple stuff that you can sharpen up with some time in Training mode.
so we have to delete both an "honest" character and a "stupid" character in order to keep the balance of the universe?

I just got Nash to level 30 today, which is the level I'm trying to get every character to.
I feel like once I've gotten to 30 I have a basic understanding of the character and am familiar with their strengths and weaknesses.
Anyway, it only took me 2 days of playing to do it. Just steamrolled everyone after I got a handle on him. I've been playing Ibuki for 2 weeks and still haven't made it to 30.
So what I'm saying is, enjoy beating everyone's ass.
Ya ggs bro I dunno where that lag came from.
I think I have the same goal in mind, but maybe not with every character. Dabbling into several will definitely give me a better understanding of their weaknesses and strengths, and it would at least ensure that I know what I'm talking about when I speak of balance.
And if Nash can be picked up that quickly, then great. I feel like my 9-day Guile has caught up to my Balrog and I've been playing the latter since his release.
FWIW I don't think Nash's somersaults can be crushed on recovery.
EDIT: Oop, my mistake. Thought you were talking bout Nash.
I was playing Guile.
Not really, that's why I put him on the OP
I heard this about Season 2:
8 characters total: Akuma, Sagat, Oro, Sakura, Fei Long, C. Viper, & 2 new characters.
Dunno if its true. Take it with spoonful of salt.
So what you're still saying is the fact they are of Asian descent implies something about the way they play fighting games?

Fei Long isn't getting in. The rest of what you said is a safe bet. I really doubt they'll add Abel and Azam tbh. C. Viper maybe. I do see Seth coming back but maybe not this Season (god I hope not).

Fuck it, here's my wishlist for characters in SF5's future.
(i) E.Honda [I think we all know I like Honda]
(ii) Gouken or Sakura [Love both of them, but getting both is a bit unrealistic]
(iii) Hakan or Hugo [same story]
(iv) Poison
I'm also ready to be blown away by new characters/returning characters like Azam, Oro, Ed etc.

Sounds like a good list, which means it won't be true. Unfortunately. I'm still hoping we get a Tekken character. Heihachi or Kazumi would be pretty badass.
