I'd love to have the one "shoto" character that I enjoy playing, Capcom.

I thought I was doing enough by just wakeup EX Headbutt but I guess not!

No but on the real, sometimes it's better to have those three pop up because people are forced to learn how to deal with them.

And it's sad when character mains gotta put in that work explaining shit:

We know she's coming eventually (right?) and I can't wait to see how Capcom retune her to SFV after seeing how well they did with Akuma.

I don't think they've flat out announced anything but damn it, she needs to come back!

It is a bit unfortunate that she'll probably still be a schoolgirl when she does though. But I can live with that.

Can't even explain it but I always enjoyed her moveset more than any other shoto. And since I've gotten so used to FANG, it won't even matter to me that she'll be low tier!

why is this move -2 lmao

This is my main problem with sf5. Another fast full screen -2 move that you cant challenge with buttons or space without being full screen. Basically a rose ultra 2 in terms of utility. Stupid and destroys the neutral game.

Imagine if Laura's EX elbow became -2.

she needs it

Let chun's ex sbk be -2

That move is already hard enough for me to punish as it is.

 

[Bigg_Oggy]

Let chun's ex sbk be -2

Nah, just make her ex lightning legs full screen.

 

[lucebuce12]

It's actually kinda amazing how much bullshit there is in this game that you have very little way to deal with or punish.

yall wanted an honest game

 

[Edzi]

Are there any other Alex players here higher than Plat?

 

[lucebuce12]

I don't want an honest game, I want a fun and mostly balanced game.

Every character should be really strong at what they do and it should fall to the player to cover the weaknesses.

At least that's what I think.

 

[Skilletor]

Every version of SF5 will be 100000000x better than SF4 ever was.

Justin Wong saying footies are dead because of Rog then watching his main rekt the best Rog in the world was a treat.

How is that a treat? Doesn't it just make JWong look bad for whining?

Oops, that was my point. Punks Karin is so much better than his every time he loses homeboy needs to humble himself but instead he just gets pissy about the game. Ricki too. Meanwhile FChamp gets sorta salty then resolves to train harder.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, JWong has been really sad to watch throughout SFVs life.

 

[cackhyena]

I miss seeing Nash in the mix at these events.

 

[Kashiwaba]

I miss seeing Nash in the mix at these events.

The sad thing is people keep complaining about rashid yet he is always MIA in the top 8 of premier events, capcom should buff the mid tier they need some live

 

[TheSpoiler]

Punk uses Nash randomly. But only against frauds or people he knows he can beat :/

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, JWong has been really sad to watch throughout SFVs life.

KBrad lost confidence
Ricki won't change up her style and keeps picking Chun
Wong plays it too safe

Truly a dark timeline

lmao you don't even believe that stop it

 

[peter0611]

I'm happy for Haitani's win, even if it was over Itazan. Dude has been consistently strong since the game came out. Like Necali, he's the overlooked top tier player.

I also like that he's one of the few players who has been able to make Fuudo look human.

Spoiler

Fuudo scares me more than anyone when he's playing well

. Dude freed him up at CC last year.

 

[Kashiwaba]

Totally agree.

 

[mbpm1]

SFV makes me think characters like Fuerte and Seth weren't so bad

 

[Skilletor]

lmao you don't even believe that stop it

I do, tho. I think SF4 is gutter trash.

It's the only SF game I will never play again. Played ST, SF3, A2, A3, SF5 this past weekend.

SF4? Nope. Fuck that game.

Ken in v trigger legit looks like a mega man boss. Same with ex dash punch. Shit looks stupid.

[lucebuce12]

Not every game can be as good as Alpha 3.

 

[Scotia]

The only reason I play SF4 every now and then is to play Sakura, Abel and Viper. If/When they get added to SFV, I'll probably move on from 4.

 

[TheSpoiler]

I'd take that over SF4 backdashes alone tbh.

 

[Skilletor]

Okay.

 

[ColonialHawk]

I play SF4 to remind myself why I dislike it and prefer SFV, bullshit and all.

And Seth and Fuerte are 1000x times worse than anything in SFV.

Are there any other Alex players here higher than Plat?

Does platinum at heart count?

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Kolin's usage rate is amazing. Makes me wonder what the usage rates would have looked like if we'd had tracking since the release of season 1 DLC characters. I'm still surprised by the amount of Alex players and stupefied by Chun's ever decreasing usage rate. So much for the benefits of being "iconic" lol.

So I went and grabbed a copy of the data on V-League.pro, and did a quick and dirty plotting of about 9M unique matches. Obviously this is rather messy, due to my haste and the number of characters, and results differ from the official numbers due to only representing a subset of (ranked) matches, but it is still interesting.

Area plot: https://plot.ly/~Ucchedavada/2
Line plot: https://plot.ly/~Ucchedavada/4

For example, it seems like DLC characters prior to Akuma had roughly the same percentage of matches in Ranked when first released. However, both Akuma and (to a lesser degree) Kolin broke that trend, having a half to twice as many matches, percentage wise.

 

[CountBlack]

because having defensive options was such a terrible thing right

 

[Shadoken]

I'd take that over SF4 backdashes alone tbh.

I'd take SF4 backdashes over SF5 jump ins.

Heck even SF5s 50/50s are better than how annoying it is to AA consistently. I dont mind holding those 50/50s but at least earn your way to get them dammit.

 

[stn]

As much as I recognize some of the bullshit in SFV, it is still miles better than some of the shit that exists in SF4. Mind you, I like SF4 overall. But I'd take anything in SFV a hundred times before I to have face some bullshit like El Fuerte again.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Nah SF4 had too many defensive options and made it more annoying to play. Not like I don't want more defensive stuff in SFV but I'm having way more fun overall.

Don't get me wrong, I do recognize SF4 was far from perfect and everyday I thank based god that I don't need to play against Fuerte, Seth or Rufus again but with that said.. at least I had defensive options against those characters (okay maybe not Seth lmao)

Nah SF4 had too many defensive options and made it more annoying to play. Not like I don't want more defensive stuff in SFV but I'm having way more fun overall.

and each defensive option had an answer to blow it up. I can't see anybody losing instantly to Rog or Laura within 4 seconds and saying that it was a better experience than a long thought out match of SF4

but im sleep

I bring this up a lot, I think modern fighting games need button command dashes to better deal with how insanely quick things are getting on the offensive side.

just buy a hitbox, lol

 

[mbpm1]

SFIV is better than SFV bc I could play Ultra Ken in it, and that's enough for me.

no character in this game in either season or beta came close to the fun i had with that guy
