Throw wins I believe. That's why any command grab character with a 5 frame command grab being plus 2 Is so scary.
Lol yeah. Its better to do a delayed normal after blocking a -2 move imo

Just got bashed by a Vega. Good lord that dude can cover ground in the sliver of a second. He is such a great version the initial design in this game. Can't believe people were down on him during the unveiling, as he is the definition of unique and fitting along with the rest of the cast.

lol don't let the salt take you.
I'm afraid it took me a long time ago. And as a Venom Nash player I laugh in the face of character nerfs, I believe the Laura nerfs will be the funniest. All characters should get nerfed tbh.

Why would making it -3 OB make it balanced?
You can be an EVO player too all you have to do is sign up.
I wasn't being serious about. As long as it's punishable with a jab, at the very least, I don't care what it is.
I mean...did you have a problem with the move in S1? Because it's literally the same.
Yes, I did. What's your point?

Vega is very good, I fear him when I do not play Ryu. I like to parry his EX FB lol
Which won't be happening again anytime soon, Bison 4 lyf
Speaking of being an evo player, I've been seriously considering signing up this year for fun and to meet members of the community. Not really sure how wise that is though, considering I've never competed at any locals or anything.
Does anyone watch rommaler stream?
Just saw a guy with master rank giving away free points. He had like a 362 win streak even when he loses.

It can't hurt to give it a try. I've never really had the desire to go but posters here enjoy the experience that they have and I haven't heard of someone having a bad time there.

Dont let your dreams be dreams!
I plan on trying to hit up most of the big tourneys around the the southeast like Final Round and CEO in preparation for Evo.

I know people who literally fly half way across the world just to go to EVO and these aren't players who are particularly passionate about any one game in particular, it's like a mix of a community gathering and a sports festival that they all take part in and I wish I get to go to EVO in the future. At least during sfv's lifetime.

Until now.
The most I faced in Rank are
Urien
Juri
Zangief
Balrog
Birdie
Laura
I faced more Nash players than Ryu.
You should meet up with gaffers/people from the discord if you go

What in the hell do I do against Cammy an FANG? She feels like she recovers from everything in 1 frame lol

It takes a lot of practice to know when you can push buttons and when you can't but you have to make every situation count. If I wasn't on mobile, I would give a more detailed description 😑
All I'll say right now is to respect the St.mp and the cr.mp
Got to try and keep her at a distance but try to be very hesitant with the trap and upballs as she can do a well timed dvekick or ex drill or even V-skill through it so rely more on your normals and your positioning.

Thanks! I definitely see what you mean as far as being careful with traps, as I was hesitant to throw out any unless I was a full screen away. Maybe I should hit training mode and figure out some punishes I can use.
This is the reason i play zangief

If your head's not in the right space she can get away with murder, lol

The only thing I actively dislike about Laura ( and have since season 1) is the meaty light shoulder setup after the command grab. Seems like too easy a setup for such high reward, particularly for a vortex character.
Everything else I feel is fine.

Saving your v-reversals can be very important against her for stopping her pressure dependent on your character because you can get freely v-reversal a lot of her specials or pressure to stop her momentum. If you can stop her from activating her v-trigger or kill her before she gets a knockdown on you then sure use your v-trigger, but most likely she'll activate it and you'll take some +1 light elbows on your wake-up when you don't have any v-meter to use.

I was merely five points away from Sliver and got knocked down to Super Bronze in a matter of an hour.
Fucking kill me.

New vid about S2 and Infiltration.

I see some of his points. I don't know if I agree with the other pro players not liking S2 all that much or sticking with their characters since most seem to enjoy the changes, salty Rog not withstanding. But he does have a point about catering too much to the casual audience in some places.
Interesting video all around though.

You got this fam.
I think he makes some very solid points. But the part where he mentions newbies from Season 1 not liking Season 2; might he be specifically talking about the Korean community? I might have missed it but I don't recall seeing people making that specific complaint en masse.
I am not sure how Capcom are catering to casuals. There is no arcade mode or a library mode for lores for example.
The game being dumb down to cater to casuals means less depth gameplay for the pros but the game doesnt have enough contents for the casual. This game seems to have an identity crisis. Its like pick one or the other or do both.
I am a nobody and a scrub at this game but I think if they make the game good with depth and good play mechanic and stuff, pro players would be satisfied and casuals wouldn't know the difference in good gameplay anyways if they have rich contents like an arcade mode, a proper tutorial,etc to keep them busy.
Greatest tech of all time.
Infil's points about casuals and season 2 make no sense, sorry.
This balance patch is clearly aimed at tournament play. And those players always had to adapt to changing versions of Street Fighter. He might not like the changes, but it's got nothing to do with catering to casuals.

I was wondering the same. I haven't seen any complaints about it. I would say i'm a season 1 newbie and I like the changes so far. It seems like they made the game less cheap.

The game has a budget crisis, not an identity one.
I do agree that Capcom needs to stop trying to cater to the casual base, but I'm not sure how season 2 is really pandering to them.
I agree with infil on the Alex/Fang nerfs though.
EDIT: I also might be coming around and agreeing with him on the DP change and I can see why he thinks it might have been done to cater to beginners who would find them "cheap". I think it's kind of a weird direction to go, and is another step toward overly homogenizing the characters. The fact that regular DPs are still CCable also makes me feel like they didn't really put much thought into it.

I agree. You dont cater to casuals by removing the panic button from the characters most commonly used by casuals.
I dont even get why its considered so huge when only 4 characters had them in the first place. It still exists anyway but you need meter.
He didnt even mention mika in the nerf section lol.
Edit. Lets not forget new players arnt meatying people on wake up with perfect timing meaning wake up dp still works.
