Yeah, you could make an argument about characters doing things better than others, but players pick characters for different reasons. That's kinda how it's been for most fighting games. The notion of "just pick a top tier" isn't always applicable for everyone!

on a milk carton along with the alex and ibuki nostalgia costumes

U aint rite but u rite u rite

They should let us remove costume pieces. Capcom pls.er.

Time to learn a new character now that Karin is 100% getting nerfed at the end of the season

Nah, maybe they'd give her an air throw, can't really tell.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Not all players can use all characters interchangeably. That whole "there are other characters who do what X does, but better" argument sounds good in theory, but doesn't always translate to reality.

Otherwise, Infiltration would be bodying everyone with Karin like Punk is.

It's very possible that Fuudo wouldn't be doing as well with other characters as he is with Mika.

You're right, even when it comes to a character who is, in many ways, your character but better (i.e. Laura). But the fact is that a character can hold you back. Xian is a perfect example of this.

For Fuudo, I very much think this is the case. He knows best, of course, and he's the one who has stayed positive on her while everyone else has dropped her (we'll see how long that lasts), even though he experimented with Ibuki after Season 2 started.

Maybe Mika is the perfect fit for him. But in a game like SFV where distinguishing characteristics and "what makes a character good" are clearly defined, I do have to wonder if he'd be doing better with someone else. Most other ex-Mika mains thought so for themselves, anyways.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Mika is viable. Sure she takes work, but she's viable. FANG was a special case of absolute ass.

It's still relative. Some characters are more powerful than others. They don't all fit under the simple label of "viable." That's not enough when it comes to players who are playing for thousands of dollars on the regular.

Again, Fuudo is good enough and experienced enough to know what the best choice for himself is. And, apparently, right now that's Mika. Just like it's apparently still Chun-Li for Ricki Ortiz. But how much you have to work to excel with a character is part of this, and Fuudo no doubt needs to put in a lot to make his desired playstyle with Mika work.

Fixed that for you.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

Good. Sick of seeing the same 4 dudes commentating literally every tournament.

Yipes might legitimately be the funniest person in the entire FGC. He has the perfect balance of off-color comments and actual play-by-play that I don't think anyone else has.

This compilation of his commentary on SF4 has gotta be one of my favorite videos of all time.

GGs again. I tried to make some adjustments with Birdie, but they didn't stick for too long. It's a tough one to figure out with the fireballs. The answers I keep in mind are slide, chain, and I tried his f.HP a bit.

The jump-ins were pretty bad for me, too. Was paying too much attention to the ground game that I couldn't see them. Maybe I should just walk the fireballs out more and wait for the jump, instead of trying to specifically counter the fireballs. Will move my focus more to the skies.

Handling her pressure is hard. I try not to V-Reversal because Birdie's V-Trigger is important. I think I should challenge more strings with his EX Bullhorn. I should also stop falling for obvious shimmy attempts; I don't know why I'm so inclined to try teching with Birdie compared to Mika.

 

[lucebuce12]

So someone made a post on r/SF asking about Mike Ross and gootecks replied: https://www.reddit.com/r/StreetFigh...ront&utm_source=reddit&utm_name=StreetFighter

I hope he's all right.

GGs! I think you did do ex bullhorn once or twice to blow up the fireball, definately a good option and i think you have the reactions to pull it off more consistantly. I gotta say though i never really thought / worried about birdie's chain before but you got me so many times i think you were like 100% on the ex ones. Its one of those moved where if you werent already blocking you got hit lol, well at least for me.

My Stick is busted just stop working the board is dead or something....my time with SFV or any fighting game going to be cut, I have controllers, but none of them are 6 face buttons, not good with the shoulder buttons, plus 360 D-pad is pure shit..until i get a stick, i am going full casual, playing SFV for 5k fight money every Friday lol

Update on the 30th?

Ok...finally gonna jump back in...

Please be good Ken '-)

Also gonna alt Ryu, I hate Cammy -_-

I'll be hitting you guys up on CFN next week heavy guys...what time is everyone usually on? Weekends good?

Am I crazy or is the dithered self shadowing getting fixed in the upcoming patch? I swear it looked like it was gone in the PS Plus beta.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Okay where in the FUCK is this costume because I want it.

https://twitter.com/EL/status/868317971202146308

This is just regular Balrog outfit without the hood and cape. I've seen it as a mod on PC, but I wonder if they'll make it a button combo like speedo Urien after the patch.

You're not crazy, they did indeed fix it in the beta.

As lucebuce12 writes, it was fixed in beta. Here's a nice before / after comparison:

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

If they stealth fixed the shadows, maybe someday, in like 2019, they'll fix the clipping on the char select screen.

I've been playing KOFXIV since it came out on Steam, and even though I love SFV the most and it's my favourite fighter right now (and a strong candidate for my favourite fighter ever, to be honest) - it's so true that KOFXIV has so many nice things that I wish SFV would have, lol. Tons of characters (and more varied too, the body types in SFV are so samey, and I thought Ed would change that a bit...), arcade mode, good loading times, super nice looking stages, etc.

Online is crap, but SFV isn't that awesome either, lol. Anyway, this is the only game IMO that has the Street Fighter DNA out there, and the only real "alternative" for me. When people say "just play Guilty Gear [or whatever fighter that plays and looks 100% differently from SF]", I find it so absurd. Anyway, I'm glad I have both now!

Picked double Birdies in training mode and was reminded that the 2P gravity bug in the character select screen still hasn't been fixed.

Since days i can't seem to find any casual or ranked matches, it let's me search but it can't find one. I also can't join battlelounges, they are marked as "?" and it says i can't join them.

Can anyone help me here? Every other online game is fine, it's just this game, first time this happens to me.
Reset the router, restart or logging off cfn doesn't help. Im from Germany.

Have you setup port-forwarding on your router?

If not, try to forward the following ports to your PC:
TCP: 20002, 30840, 30850, 30870
UDP: 30840-30859, 30870-30879

If you set up port-forwarding previously, then check that your PC still has the same IP address that you specified when setting up the forwarding rules.

Ok i will try this, thanks a lot.

You should also check that your Windows firewall isn't set to block SFV.
It is probably not the source of your problem, but it is worth making sure just in case.

You can get to the firewall settings by pressing Win+R, and then entering "wf.msc" and pressing enter or the Ok button.

As much shit SFV gets at least I can get matches reasonably quickly with people around my skill level. I like the way GGXrd plays but the online is depressingly bad. Even with all the fighting games I buy there's only a handful I can call "playable" because it meets the minimum qualifications in gameplay and online for me. Here's a quick rundown of how I feel about current fighting games with a 3 (out of 5) in both categories being required for me to bother playing them.

SFV: Gameplay 4, Online 4
GGXrd: Gameplay 5, Online 2
KOFXIV: Gameplay 3, Online 1
Killer Instinct: Gameplay 2, Online 5
NRS Games: Gameplay 1, Online 5
Skullgirls: Gameplay 3, Online 5 (although I still don't bother playing this one)

I really hope Tekken has great online play.

 

[TheSpoiler]

KOF is more like a 2 but it's still pretty damn bad. Tekken should be at least a 4 tho.

Tekken Tag 2 had fine netcode but the player base wasn't​ great. I'm hoping with all the hype Tekken 7 has it'll be healthy.

I'd give SFV online a 3 right now, but it may go up to 4 if the CFN beta is any indication.

 

[lucebuce12]

Injustice 2 netcode is so fucking amazing, I'm actually able to react to damn near everything. It really does feel like I'm playing offline if it's a match with sub-100ms pings.

And even upto 150 ms, it's still perfectly fine.

The real battle will be retention. Tekken is a harder game to learn but still very rewarding. Legacy skills are gonna carry people more. But if it's fun people will stick around so I'm not worried.

 

[Moaradin]

I want to get into Tekken 7 but no cross play kills it for me. I'll probably wait and see if there's any sort of PC player base after a few weeks before I consider it.

True lol, but it was mostly to show that you CAN easily react to stuff even in an online environment. Much like KI, I believe there will be new blood that became genuinely good offline players just by playing online.

I was a bit worried about the PC version too, but lately I've seen quite a lot of people going PC for this game. If you live in the US/EU then I don't think you'll have any issues finding games on the PC. If the netcode is anything like TTT2 (which it will be) then you should have a generally good time of it.
