Been watching Valle's stream and he's gotten ChrisG like five times in a row. There's definitely something going on with the matchmaking.

 

[JayEH]

Or the game is dead

 

[Producer]

Ew no. Much more condensed. Chun doesn't deserve her own tier above everyone else.

Theory chun, best character in the game

 

[lucebuce12]

do y'all agree with ultra "gief-sagat is 5-5 matchup" david's tier list?

Balrog same tier as Ibuki? What what what?

 

[mnz]

Or the game is dead

Nah, player numbers have been pretty consistant all year. Atleast on Steam where you can check.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

It's been harder for me to find matches recently, so yeah, something could be up or people have been dropping off.

Probably because it's the longest drought period for SFV there hasn't been any decent update for a while.

Apparently it's still popular in Mexico and other Central American countries because I get more match making there then with USA players. Them "4-5" bar connections, thanks Capcom.

I match with Mexican players a lot from South Florida. It's okay connection

I'm from Minnesota so not so ideal for me lol. Canada connections are great though..

 

[TheSpoiler]

Yes? Urien has some issues.

Necalli is definitely better than Urien. No question.

Yeah, I mostly agree with this list, but I don't understand why Mika is supposed to be better now.

I guess lack of an AA compared to an AA jab would make Urien lower.

;_;

Tfw you play SFV way longer than you should and you realize you can no longer react to dashes

then whiffed moves

then jump ins

this was a bad idea

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Tfw you play pick Necalli instead of Ryu and lose

this was a bad idea

fuckin' called it, man

rip yo points

 

[mbpm1]

my points are safe

i fall asleep before i can bleed too much LP

[FluxWaveZ]

The longer I play, the worse I get for sure. I lose thousands of points, yet I still continue. I guess I just try to think of it as building some kind of mental endurance?

 

[TheSpoiler]

After a while, my brain too will stop. Like I'll stop rushing down with Urien and the opponent is like "wtf". Usually, I can turn it back on again enough to win the match though.

Sometimes I'll start out like that too. I'm at my best when I've had a few games under my belt but not enough that I start getting tired.

SFV, or fighting games in general, drains me.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Seems like a good idea if you are going to compete in tournaments, as you do. Definitely worth more than points.

I could use a lot of work on my mental endurance, but I'm just going to stay cowardly and hang out in casuals for an hour at a time.

The longer i play the more i revert back to my old YOLO style lol.

Some people do that or get salty but i just start falling asleep lol

"Oh he jumped, guess I'll just dp when he lands instead of when he's in the air."

"Oh he jumped I'll just wait until he does his pressure. Oh he did a command throw and killed me. Oh well."

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I don't think a character who has such discernible weaknesses could ever be reasonably said to be "top 3." A Mika winning CPT would mean we get the super special costume, though, so that'd be awesome.

 

[GuileBootCamp]

Ggs, KhalilSyncere. Your Laura is really tricky. Let's get some more matches sometime.

hmm, I prefer Commander Jessie's Sim.

My "hundreds" are pennies compared to your "thousands," but I definitely share the sentiment.
Some days even if I'm on a losing streak I try to teach myself to play through the pain, and can end up redeeming myself. But sometimes life calls and I need to step away and immediately hold that L.

It feels like either way builds endurance, and sleeping off a rough session works wonders.
Always a new day, always a new fight.

 

[TheTylerRob]

Mika will win CPT this year because 2016 is the worst.

Na man, it has Guile written all over it.

Vagabond plays Necalli

 

[Gusto]

Vagabond plays Necalli

oh I know that, I just think Jessie's Sim plays aggressive and different from Champ and Guilty. Necali plays the same and Vagabond did nothing different, just my opinion.

 

[mbpm1]

No way

It's gonna be Ken

And not Momochi either

Chris T is going to win Capcom Cup

How in the hell is he gonna win anything when it's a 0-10 matchup against his character versus the rest of the whole cast?

It's going to happen and it will happen with some dps

KnuckleDu's Guile is scary AF.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

SF5 is 50% on GMG as their black friday sale

Thanks for the tip. I have finally bought the game now. Steam has been too slow in getting any good prices going.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Ibooty is gonna win it all.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

I think I need a break from this game. I've gotten steadily worse over the past month and no matter what I try or how I approach the game, it all feels like a chore. Videogames are supposed to be for fun and entertainment. I'm not getting that anymore.

I love the game and take breaks from it for weeks at a time. Sometimes you're too close to the game and need to gain some perspective. Or maybe you don't like the game and should quit. Either way, do you, boo-boo.

This is what casual and battle lounge are for. You can lose 50 matches, and tomorrow there will be no evidence of it.

Ranked, tho...ranked basically keeps a running tally of any bad days you might have...

 

[RedAssedApe]

Who doesn't want this tho?

I definitely don't want schoolgirl sakura

 

[Marvel]

Same for me.

I cap it at 500 points before I shut it off or take a long break though. Can be hard to use it as a lesson but it must be done lol.

I now watch my replays when I get crushed, never used to.

 

[mnz]

She will probably still wear that uniform in her 30s. There's no way around it.

 

[Tizoc]

I definitely don't want schoolgirl sakura

What about Schoolgirl Karin?

 

[Scotia]

I definitely don't want schoolgirl sakura

I think it's definitely going to happen, not that I'm happy about it. If she gets in I'm relying on her alternate costumes for sure.

 

[Uni on Everything!]

Is there any reason to choose one platform over the other? I kinda want this game but unsure of which platform to buy it on... I think I'd prefer PC but haven't seen any good sales for it yet on Steam.

I have a Hori Fighting Edge that I used to use on my PS3, I know it works on PC but I'm not sure if it works on PS4 (I don't have one to test as I'm waiting on the Pro).

Here's a sale: https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/street-fighter-v/

On PC you can have lower input lag and mod support. PS4 is the tournament standard. There are no huge differences between the versions from what I've experienced.

 

[Marvel]

Suppose I should learn how to use Ibuki since I just dropped 40K on her damn Story outfit (which is quite nice actually)

 

[Sayad]

stumbled upon this r/streetfighter thread while searching for some SFV stuff:
https://www.reddit.com/r/StreetFighter/comments/3xlecn/why_did_capcom_nerf_ken_to_oblivion/

Why did capcom Nerf Ken to Oblivion?...

You can't combo s.hp with vskill into cr.jab You can't combo off his roundhouse crushcounter You can't crossup into cr.mp b.mp hp You can't crossup into s.hp
The only saving grace is you can still combo s.hp vskill into l.tatsu h.dp but you have to make sure that you land your s.hp or your fucked, the dumb part is that you could land it without vskill in the last beta.

And few gems from the comments:

the reason they nerfed everyone
capcom hates fun

I really hope we get Comic-Con Ken at launch. He was incredibly fun. Yesterday I felt like I was playing Dan in Alpha 3 against actual good characters like Zangief and Vega.

It's amazing that the character people complained about the most in term of getting nerfed after the beta were Ryu and Ken.

 

[Moaradin]

Lol

I would love to see how the beta version of this game would play out now that everyone knows how to play the game. They nerfed damage across the board and damage is STILL crazy high. I bet there would be 1 reset stun to death combos all over the place.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

After installing this today, I found it ran like garbage.
The beta ran fine for me and I have a i5 4460, 8GB RAM and a 750GTX TI, so I wasnt expecting trouble.
Someone on the Steam forum suggested I go to the nvidia control panel and change the v-sync setting to "fast" (instead of "use the 3D application setting") and it seems to have done the trick.
Is this what everyone does?
Also getting a 2100d error message when trying to connect to the server. My first impressions of this game are not as positive as I'd hoped they'd be. lol

I had problems while using fast-sync and changed it back. The problem with fast synch is that it doubles frames frome time to time if it doesn't get exactly 60. It became stuttery at completly random occasions.
But I did change the pre-rendered frames setting to "1". That feels best for me.

So no, I don't think that's what most people do. And only Nvidia has fast-sync anyway.
