I used to only play evil characters. Not outta some edgy shit but because their playstyles were the most fun. SFV ruined that for me until Urien dropped.
I used to only play antagonists in competitive games, but outta some edgy shit. Bad guys are just cooler; I was looking to do the same in SFV. But then Mika said "I'll totally make this look cool" in the beta, Nadeshiko said "I'll kick your ass!" in the intro scene, and I knew I had my main.
I guess how opinions shifted on her since then, I can still think of me as maining a "heel" character in the eyes of the playerbase.
Never cared about playstyles when picking a main, it's always been aesthetics first for me.

If he's a ken player it's easy to rise the ranks not being good. Kappa

Well, I agree that the RQ system still sucks then. Skillwise, the match-making is fine.

I'm usually able to play most characters besides grapplers and counter characters so I'll fit into whatever. I suppose rushdown type characters are more my speed though.

Nah you had the same issue in SFIV with high PP players using different characters who had low BP. And people RQ in SFIV too. Maybe more since you could play against all skill levels and there was the factor that it was a significantly lower risk for low PP players to take on high PP players.
Why do you think player is shady if they have low player level/character level? That only means they haven't grinded much Casual/Ranked or done much singleplayer content. They could have played ton of Battle Lounges and Offline matches to gain enough skill to get higher ranks.

Are you saying ZG didn't even consider that? That he might just be salty af?
So Chun can actually anti-air Ken's air-tatsu...by mashing st.lk lol

what about dp's
Yes, but not consistently. Even in the video you can see that it's different lk's hitting.

I hope most if not all of them go even though I've abused Ryu's quite a bit myself. Just give everybody really a good medium or heavy anti air button and problem solved. More damage for the anti air, removes the cross under situation, and makes anti air just a bit more challenging which I think should be the case compared to how easy mode they are right now.
I usually pick based on playstyle rather than aesthetic. The only game I picked based on aesthetic was in P4A and that was because it was my first real fighter that I tried to learn and put time in. After playing Mitsuru I grew to like the poke heavy style, so I now usually pick characters that have a strong offensive oriented footsie/neutral game. I like playing characters that shut down or can punish many options that a character can usually get away with against characters that dont have as much range.

All this AA jab nerf talk has me curious... I play gief and as it stands my only options for AA are jab or lariat. Lariat is slow and doesn't work for all jump ins so jab usually covers the rest. If I lose my AA jab as Gief I'm going to be even more free on well time jump ins... Hell more often than not the lariat sound will trigger with no animation and thus no hitbox. Are you all proposing that every character will lose AA jab or just the characters that already have amazing DPs?
Zangief has his cr.HP, his air command grab and st.HK.

Air SPD + st.HK won't work in situations where lariat can't even come out.... as for cr.HP it's fine for jump ins at a certain distance but the second they get closer than just outside light spd range it does nothing.

the AA nerfs can't be every character, Gief is already low tier trash can't take away his best weapon..
Unless you play a character with a DP or Chun-Li, AAs are typically situational like that (excluding AA jabs) and there aren't many characters who have one for every situation. Balrog probably has it worse than Zangief in the AA department, and he doesn't even have a (good) AA jab.
Though, I'm not against Zangief still having an AA jab.

whoa...that's some sexy animations...
hmmm, would the game be more interesting if everyone had a guard break move?
I still think everyone is getting a second V-trigger to further balance them out and cater to different play styles.

could never
Oh god lol
Agreed poor rog :/
I thought the mass consensus was that no one should have an AA jab but taking from certain characters makes more sense. Necalli/Ryu both have great DPs. AA jab is redundant when you can cross-cut a DP when someone trys to cross you up. It's just lazy play at that point for them to have and use AA jab.

Interesting. Reminds me of all those normals they took the time to create for Ryu and Chun that were later replaced/removed.
I bet all the characters had more moves at some point in development. Maybe we'll get to see some as the game goes on.
Guard break can stay out, though.
Just a theory video but this guy is speculating that it might be Goutetsu, not Akuma

Nah, even as an Alex main I want them all gone. Just give him another reliable AA.

SFEX showed me that Guard Crushes/Breaks are a terrible idea.
Nope.
Goutetsu died flat out. While he was able to tap into the SnH on command, he didn't shift himself either way. In fact, IIRC, Akuma fights him twice - once (and wins but didn't get a chance to kill him) and the second time just flat out kills him with the SnH.
The voice is Akuma, The style is Akuma. The CFN stuff is mostly What-If's in regards to dead characters. Kanji appearing on the back is an Akuma thing. If our expectations are to be surpassed, it won't be some character that got like five seconds of depth added to his character.
Side note, Bison came looking for more info about the SnH after Goutetsu's death, and only a young Gouken was there. He wouldn't give Dictator shit, so Bison beat the hell out of him (the original story was that Bison killed him, but they retconned it for Akuma's appearance).

I can jump on. This MvC4 rumor thread is starting to take its toll...I should probably stop reading it for a while.
Sure, shoot me an invite.
