Guys I got an important question.
So I wanna get a new gamepad preferably the new Fight Commander but I've read that the Dpad becomes unreliable and loses its click after a fews months of play. I've had the same problem with my Dualshocks. Eventually the dpad will get loose and the mesh inside will tear on one of the directions.(All I've played lately are fighting games so its happened to both my last 2 controllers).
I just want a controller that will be durable enough for my heavy handedness and use. If there isnt one out there I may just save up for a good stick and make the transition.
For any of you there that uses a pad do you run into this problem with your Dpads? And if so how do you combat it? Is the Fight Commander a good investment for anyone that uses it?

I don't use pads much, if ever, but take a look at this one. It is much preferred to the FC4.

Rotatable DPad on the FC4 can start to give you issues. Fixed DPads are better IMO. Especially if you are more heavy handed when you play.
So you're saying I can jab her -2 on block with Nash?
Not shit Sherlock.
Yeah, why not? Laura doesn't have a reversal, unless she's nuts and overrules your turn by doing a super. It follows the same principle as any negative move in the game. If you don't take your turn when their pressure has ended, the pressure will never end.

Cheapest is to grind FM and but the first batch of characters from season one then buy the S2 pass if you want all the character in a decent amount of time.
Quickest would be to just but both season passes. They had a sale on them around Christmas so I would assume that would come back. Probably around the time the CPT starts I would expect a decent discount on characters to increase game interest.
Sounds good! I will keep an eye out for it. I'm not diehard enough to grind everything. Unless it's like Soul Calibur on DC kind of unlocking. I miss those days.
It won't be an outright punish for most characters but it will be your turn to pressure at the very least. Just about anything with 5f startup or faster will beat or trade if she tries to 3f jab after it.
-2 doesn't mean that you can punish it, it means that their turn has ended and it's your turn. Even if they block a jab, you're still plus on it and there's nothing (except for reversal stuff) they can do about it because their fastest move is 3f, meaning the effective startup becomes 5f. If you just sit there and don't do anything, then you'll never have your turn. It's like that with any other character, not just with Laura.

If you are decent at the game you can do each characters trial's and story modes pretty easily to get a decent chunk. Don't forget to download the cinematic story mode as well to get a decent chunk of FM.
If you are going the route of buying one of the season passes make sure you decide which one you want so you don't buy characters from it with FM before you pay real money as you won't get that FM back.
S1 characters are:
-Alex
-Guile
-Balrog
-Ibuki
-Juri
-Urien
S2 character are:
-Akuma
-???
-???

I would personally buy S1 on sale and save all that fight money for S2 characters if you are on the fence about them since they haven't released any information about them besides that they are new to the SF universe as far as being playable in game goes. Excluding Akuma of course.
Yeah, you can jab her. It's not a punish, but it's your turn. A lp elbow ends her offense.

seeing those Question marks makes me angry at myself for purchasing a season pass without knowing fully what I'm getting into.

It does look pretty bad when written out...
I think they'll do fine. Since the last one is obviously Garuda. I hope...
With the exception of meaty elbow after Sunset Wheel in V-Trigger, where she's +1.
Really makes you appreciate Capcom's incompetence that lead to season 1 leak. :3
I can't see myself not buying a new Street Fighter character, so it really doesn't matter to me who the characters actually are. I'm sure they'll each be interesting and fun in their own way. I barely use Guile and Juri from season one, but I'd rather have them to fuck around with on occasion than not have them at all.

Thanks, but this is the controller I was considering. Once researched I found others have had problems with the dpad losing its click as well.
I may just buy the DS4 dpad meshes online and replace them myself. I've opened my controller before but the last time I did that I screwed up the touch pad on my other one so I'm a bit paranoid lol.
I'll have enough to buy them by myself with FM probably by the time they come out

Yeah third-party pads this gen have been pretty disappointing overall. Hopefully there are some revisions in the making. At least they are cheap!

I have full faith that the characters will be fun to play regardless of how they end up. I'm
Just pissed that they STILL haven't even given us so much as a description. Particularly after last year's " we need to communicate more" stance.

That's what y'all get for sending out leaks.
Shoulda kept that shit under wraps!
They wanna drop a surprise on us and build hype, but man, even a little hint would be nice. I hate waiting.

Good luck man, I hope to get where you are in a few months time. I can barely hold on to silver myself lol

How come people don't like Chris T and Eventhubs? as a reletive FGC newbie I never got the viewpoints on em here
Chris T is a supremely whiny bitch, and an annoyingly preachy christian.
Eventhubs just reposts any old shit as 'news' for hits.

Worth noting there are oki setups when she's actually +1 on block with this now.
His b+HP is ridiculous as well. ~7 frame startup, great reach, CC knockdown on counterhit. Guile pokes much better than Vega :/

Always pick defense up instead of low health.
TheSpoiler

YO WHAT?
I usually gamble with those 'negative attribute but you get more points' supplements very early on (with the really easy fights you can get perfects in) and then after that use a mixture of attack up and health buffs when needed. I'll try using defense up instead and seeing if that makes a difference.

Trying to play Dhalsim now and it's kinda fun but man do I have no idea what I'm doing.
I forgot how bad UMVC3's netcode was.

You can do it! I believe in you! My FANG just made it to silver, so I have some work to do before is can grab gold status.
If you're that close, then you'll get it sometime soon. Don't get discouraged! I got 3999LP my first time around and then proceeded to go on a losing streak, so I know the pain and thrill of getting close to that threshold.
Yeah but that was never my point though, I wasn't talking about whose turn it is or not. I was talking about punishing her special attacks with a jab (into light sonic scythe for example), essentially those special attacks of her's are safe on block and my character can't punish it. And I was talking about this in relation to Balrog because at least some of the things he does is very punishable.
LP elbow leaves her right next to you, so instead of going for light pressure, you can also throw which I'm pretty sure will beat any of Laura's options except jump/tech.
