That sucks man, know how it feels. After the one win I got that didn't register I just headed back to casual. Think I will stay there for now.
The game is worse after that maintenance.

In all honesty, as long as im getting good matches i prefer casual. Its far more fun and im far more willing to try stuff out i wouldn't in a ranked match. If i get to a point im winning 80% of the tine i will try rank up again.

Very well ty! he got me up to Ultra Silver from barely Super Silver just last night.
I think I do have the most success with him for sure. He is either rank 30 or very near it now. Also trying to improve my Ken when I can tear myself away from him.
I don't think that's true. I've seen people call others haters when they dogpile on it even when they don't have the game but most guys around here have been reasonable with thier critique of the game. As for the Netcode, in my experience it's actually fine when there is a solid connection between both players and is far better than SFIV (even after 6 years) but the loading times are absolutely horrendous.
I was referring to that baldy guy on twitter, no idea who he is. You're right about the netcode, it's been generally fine lately and they clearly fixed something because I get matches regularly now. But this last maintenance seems to have f'd something up on my end again.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, SF5 is gonna become the side bitch for me if either Injustice 2 or Tekken 7 have a fully functioning online mode.
I love the game but there's only so much of the consistently shitty servers I can take.

Indeed. It was poor PR and they need to have a word with this guy or anyone else before these tweets go live. I think he meant well but the way he came across seemed unprofessional.
After mkxl, sc5, and TTT2....no worries.
I'm kind of frustrated right now. Winning like 85% of my matches in casual, but only 40-50% in ranked. Seems super gold is my ceiling, but casual is way too easy.

What's different in casual that you win so often as compared to ranked? Is it a pressure thing?

I've personally noticed that the competition is weaker in Casual than in Ranked. I figure people let their skills rust and play in Casual so they don't lose points or they get to Gold rank with their main and then play a new character in Casual.
Honestly, they should just do away with Casual and combine it with Battle Lounge. Make some Xrd-style lobbies, give out Fight Money like in Casual, and maybe design Casual Fight Request that just searches for an open seat in a lobby for the people who just want to play as soon as possible.
As a player, I just fail to capitalize on simple patterns.
I just lost to a dude that was obviously teching after every single jump in or when I was near, and even though I knew it, I couldn't adjust my spacing or timing to punish him.
I do well against players better than I am, but players that just do stupid or obvious things all the time is very, very hard for me.
I realize it's not "stupid" since it's working against me, and it's totally on me, not shrugging that off, it's just frustrating to me to not be able to recognize this and punish it.

Casual is proving to be.... quite the gauntlet when you're Bronze. Lol its pretty much an arena of people trying to figure out if they can step into Ranked or not while figuring out their own skills.
Fought against an Ibuki who was pretty good and literally taunted me like 3 times in one round. I didn't feel insulted. I actually laughed.
Just fought a Zangief. Guy trashed me the 1st round. I played the bait and switch role and managed to sneak a round off of him. But then I forgot that Cammy's health = "2 lenghty combos and she's dead" and that Zangief bombed me.
Still having fun though.
Also actually watched myself play for the 1st time since buying the game on launch....
Man, that was WEIRD.

At least you can practice what you lost at easier in training mode.

A friend of mine has this thing where he sets "goals" for a particular set of matches that he plays. He might even just play like a loon for a few rounds but just to gauge what the opponent does and doesn't do then he adapts accordingly. Since he focuses almost primarily on adaptation and nothing else, it's a good way to force yourself to change according to your opponent.
Don't know how effective it might be for you since as you said it's mainly the simpler or stupid(er) stuff that seems to work against you but still, something to know.
You're a stronger person than me, the salt might have pushed me over the edge.

The Ibuki guy taunted because there was less than 20 seconds and we was around the same health but he had more than me. He could tell that I was trying to figure out what to do so he taunted.
I managed to sneak a few hits in but he still won.
It was pretty intense.
And Cammy main's motto should be: "You play wild? You die wild."

I've been in Ultra Bronze (playing Birdie) for a good while now and a lot of my opponents seem to be pretty aggro. A lot of pressure, jump ins, yolo DPs and wake up CA. Anyway, while I'm not that good at the game, I like to think about what I'm doing. When I'm hovering around mid screen or the opponents are retreating away in haste, I get taunted more than I'd like. It got to me at firdt but it's fine now.

Lol totally right? Like I don't play safe. I play pretty wild and reckless and that's only because Cammy has the tools to play wild (she doesn't have the health to play wild though).
After I play wild for just one round.... everybody else starts playing wild and they beat me. Lol
I just lost to a Bison who decided to play wild after I did.

lol Thanks for the great match and then RQ in casuals motoholic. What a goofball move.
If you RQ in casuals do you still get points taken away?

The best way to deal with people playing like nuts is to hit that 3f or 4f jab. Or hit them with some shit that they think is safe over and over again. I took a bunch of games this way against Sliver dudes who just didn't give a fuck about frames and caught them with a crlk, waited a second, and walked up for a throw.
So good.
Edit: I just saw a Gief headbutt a projectile and jump back r.hk a Laura on the KIT stream. What in the fuck.

FANG's taunt is the best because what he says kinda applies.
"Oh my my, it looks like you're already choking"

It's a shame that there is only one taunt per character. Each character had a bunch in SFIV, often with different animations.

Congrats! I stopped played Ranked a long time ago, but stopped exactly there. I *think* I would top off somewhere in Silver if I really tried.

I did not know that Denjin Hadoken actually did stun. Just got stunned by one and then KO'd.
Congratulations!
Do you get as stressed as me when you are just about to make the transition to a new rank?

Yep, stopped playing ranked for a while when I reached Gold and stayed in Casuals, but when I hopped onto ranked I noticed that everyone was playing way differently. Casuals is sort of a waste of time for me at this point if I'm actually trying to improve.

Yup, I mentioned that some pages back. Urien's headbutt also interrupts that super lol.
V-reversal would have been better there.
After mkxl, sc5, and TTT2....no worries.

Super Gold seems really hard to get out of since losing to someone one league below you is still -80 points.
