I saw it earlier.
Zangief doesn't need this. He already has his V-Skill.
Also M.Bison's Slide is -2 because netcode still sucks.

Doesn't work the same as his vskill.
Friend that plays gief thinks this was added specifically for the Sim matchup.

Few more mins before i give up. This is pointless. 1 game in 35 mins so far.

Yeah this seems borked, I had one fight in battle lounge, and now it's searching for an opponent forever and even battle lounges are just straight up failing to start....

What's your cfn, perhaps we can get some testing in
wonder if Sim can just not use sHK and still keep gief out
he doesn't even need to never do it, just not use it so much

That Damage
Wouldn't it also work against Dhalsim's st.MK? That's one of his most important pokes.
Because of that counter and Gief's headbutt, the Zangief vs. R. Mika match-up has become lopsided as hell.

Switched back to ps4 as i not got long.
To be honest pc only is a bad idea as the player base is much smaller anyway
but sMK hits low I think? this counter's description says it is specifically against horizontal kicks
needs testing but from that description I assume only sHK gets caught
other people that suffer: Nash, Guile and particularly Karin
Sim's st.MK hits mid.
I think the description meant how the kick looks, not what kind of hit is, and that's what I meant too; IIRC sMK is a downwards kick, while sHK is the definition of horizontal

Everything loads a lot faster. I don't know about matches in general because I have a really shit computer, but it's about 10 seconds or a little more than that as opposed to around 20. I need more results to call that though.
Matches feel better? At least for me. Like, I haven't hit a lot of roll back, and watching people in lounges has been mostly the same way.
That being said, it's difficult to find matches. And there's a 400002 error popping up randomly in BLs. It's an old error, too, from like back in the day.
So when it works and I 'm in a match, it's better. When I'm playing, it's better (though I need more matches to call that). Loading is better too, if not still needing a few more seconds being shaved off still. If they can correct those errors and get people back in matches, it'll be a pretty good improvement over the previous CFN.
Oh, and the CFN shit actually works. Jesus lord thank you.
Now, who's gonna shift through the files and find the goodies.

Eh...people say stuff like this when there have been moves since S1 that do this very thing, but nobody does them/can perform them so consistently that they matter.
It's pretty ambiguous wording. How I see it now, I can't imagine that they're making a visual check on how the kick looks. I think it's most likely "any medium or heavy kick button which hits mid gets countered." It'd be real interesting if they made it way more specific.
The MU is already bad for Mika, but now st.MK has become a dangerous poke for her to throw out. And jump-ins are also going to be worse because of his flying headbutt. This has undoubtedly become a really poor MU for Mika.
Mika can decide to not unleash a charged drop kick. But Gief's V-Skill was already wrecking it every time.

1 ranked match after waiting 20 minutes and every battle lounge match I start up loads for a few seconds then I get hit with a 400002. Awesome. I dunno if its on my end or what.
Gonna destroy Alex's super slow st.hk on reaction too, though that was already risky to throw out against him due to his parry into SPD. Might limit how he can poke with mk though.
it could easily be a hitbox that only interacts with landed kicks, and have the hitbox be a square in front of gief's chest/front hand, so not necessarily every standing kick that hits mid will interact with it
a lot like how the armor in his sHP doesn't block every attack that would be blocked high, but it has a proper area where the attacks have to touch for them to be absorbed
hell, maybe sMK would get grabbed if close enough
I was just talking about the dropkick.

That would make sense, but it also sounds pretty weird for a counter.
I guess it depends on its startup. Still, Gief already has the perfect answer of V-Skill > SPD, so it's not like trying the counter would be necessary.

Cammy's grab looks awful
Loading and netcode is better from what I've seen so far.

Green hand would do absolutely nothing in the Dhalsim match up...especially when compared to this new counter.
At this point, people only want Green Hand for nostalgia purposes rather than actual functionality.
Zangief does not need Green hand in SF5.
Oh God, she lands right next to you.
Uh what... that can't be final

could never
Oh my god lmfao, that's like some snes shit.

Well at least they have another month to work on it
not sure how counters work in SFV; are there even counters in this game? all I can think of are actually armored moves
Kolin?
