you can swat + parry multihit fireballs

 

[Etrian Oddity]

90 percent of the cast is free on wakeup.

Well there are the shotos who have EX dp

 

[mbpm1]

Wake up is bad but god his jabs have stupid range and AA ability.

Once you get in none of that matters. His jab won't stop ambiguous cross up ranges. His buttons are slow enough that wake up buttons get thrown almost every time so he techs or eats grabs or eats shimmies.

Even sim isn't as free as him on wake up

 

[JAXXX]

Menat is easily my most anticipated character this season. I can't wait to see what she can do.

Cool, in 4 months you'll see the blog post showing when she will be released.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Actually I'm ready to have a pocket Zeku. After months of Abby, it'll be great to have maybe a fast dude to mess around with.

But Abby is #1

That's what surprised me tho. I was playing one Abby and he was stuffing me with wake up cr.jab. Must've been BS rollback because without fail it kept me out.

 

[mbpm1]

I hope they continue giving characters as much personality as they did with abby

 

[Mizerman]

This.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

LOL. You meet some crazy people in silver. Just met a Ryu that started off with wiffed tatsu into DP. Twice.

Nah, they ran out money. And can no longer animate the characters.

lol genius shit right there.

 

[Zackat]

is there a video out there for teaching abigail combos? or a written one? I just need to practice muscle memory on them

 

[mbpm1]

Like Abigail feels not only like a character, but a character. His whole vibe just clicks well. Mashing those buttons for his specials, throwing out huge buttons and making them scared

LOL. You meet some crazy people in silver. Just met a Ryu that started off with wiffed tatsu into DP. Twice.

Did it hit

My face when I decide I'm going to EX DP.

Starting to hate online shenanigans. I keep telling myself to get into the WNF scene here in Austin but I may get pushed to do it soon.

Also: Dem bad feels when every single read you make is the exact opposite of what you should have done.

::edit::

My face when I decide I'm going to EX DP.

Funny enough, NONE of the Gief streamers I watch ever bump into shotos who wakeup DP. They always let the Gief meaty headbutt or free SPD or throw. Like, in what world am I in? Lol

 

[mnz]

LOL. You meet some crazy people in silver. Just met a Ryu that started off with wiffed tatsu into DP. Twice.

And we all know that it worked, too

 

[TheSpoiler]

I'd say the DLC characters feel the best overall, in terms of toolkits and shit in most cases. But Abby definitely feels far more open and full

 

[sephi22]

I thought his parry didn't work on fireballs?

You thought wrong

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Did it hit

Haha, no, of course not. What do you take me for?

Spoiler

Yes.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

You thought wrong

You're saying his V-Skill works on projectiles?

 

[sephi22]

You're saying his V-Skill works on projectiles?

Yes.
I didn't stutter the first time lol

 

[Marvel]

He can swat a damn tornado away, a damn fb ain't shit. Haha

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Yes.
I didn't stutter the first time lol

Just tested it, and that's right. I never bothered with it because I remember one of the two hosts during the Abigail Showcase on WSO saying that it didn't work, but it totally does.

Cacpcom making a mistake and spouting misinformation? Never.

I remembered hearing the same. I don't know if anything was changed in the final build. Heck, I didn't even test it just started doing it in a match because I read another gaffer mention it earlier in one of the SFV threads.

Ryu couldn't do shit from full screen but give me free V-guage and CA meter.

 

[Blueblur1]

Cacpcom making a mistake and spouting misinformation? Never.

Matt can be pretty clueless about new characters and the rest of the group there are learning stuff as they go so they're not reliable in terms of what works or not. Its a not a great way to showcase new characters honestly.

I preferred the showcases with Mike Ross and Combofiend on Capcom Pro Talk.

 

[lucebuce12]

I miss Seth Killian.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Any euro(ish) players wanna lobby?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I can play

 

[Sayad]

Juri's AA jab was nerfed? I couldn't tell. Shit is still good.

Was playing a Platinum Juri in Battle lounge last night....that jab still seems good to me too.

All high hitting jabs are good, even when they aren't meant to be real AAs because 90% of jump ins has ass hurtboxes. Nerf is real though, she use to be able to AA things like Gief's j.HP clean before,

Necalli got keep his though, of course.

 

[DunpealD]

Pulling off situational stuff WOULD be hype as shit. As long as it's not part of an everyday life kinda thing who cares.

Anyone remembers people going nuts over Guile corner loop, how broken it was and how it's going to be used in every single match?
The loop did get nerfed though.

Cacpcom making a mistake and spouting misinformation? Never.

To be fair, they were using an old build. In that build his V-Skill actually takes grey damage. So there were some changes.

 

[spazchicken]

My face when I decide I'm going to EX DP.

That's my face every time I knock someone down who has the ability to EX DP.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

I've never played SF or "typical" fighting games, period.

But for a series of related reasons, I've decided to take the plunge an invest some serious time into trying to not even "git gud," but ... ... git okay? Because, with less than 2-3 hours under my belt in 20 years of gaming, I'm abysmal. Just the worst. Like, can't beat easy AI.

I picked up SFII on the Switch, and I have a Pro Controller. I did this because 90% of my free time to play this game/practice will be when I'm on the road.

Am I doing myself a TERRIBLE disservice by starting with that game? Would I be better off jumping in with V, even if I have drastically less time to actually play?

I think the Capcom UK guys do a lot more than Capcom USA is doing right now for the game. They have the WSO sessions every week and Matt Edwards even gives us the in-depth "Introduction" videos that showcases every new character. It's probably something that went under the radar as eveyone is still learning the character.

 

[Edzi]

Oh shit, I thought the same thing because of WSO. Awesome.

Yep me too lol

 

[lucebuce12]

Fireballs?

Get that shit out of my face

Start with what you want to play. It won't hurt just know that Vs execution is less strict than 2. To git gud all it takes is some practice. I'd suggest hitting up the giefs gym guide. It's steered towards sfv but you can use it for most fighting games.

Touché!

hey buddy. take off the fucken avatar, now. Im done with the disrespect

 

[Teh Lurv]

LOL. You meet some crazy people in silver. Just met a Ryu that started off with wiffed tatsu into DP. Twice.

I've run into a couple people like that. It's always fun after the set to pull up their profile and play the "is this guy really a Ken main?" game.

 

[lucebuce12]

The previous avatar wasn't bad enough? Look at the face a bit more closely.

 

[joe2187]

Must be a Ken Player.

 

[lucebuce12]

Must be a Ken Player.

Some Ken players probably have phases where they feel tired of the throw loops and comboable overheads and try to play an honest game.

Then realize what a shitty character Ryu is and go back to the throw loops.

 

[Zackat]

the orchid-li was almost too subtle for its own good tbh

 

[MCD250]

LOL. You meet some crazy people in silver. Just met a Ryu that started off with wiffed tatsu into DP. Twice.

I remember back when I was in silver one of my first mathes in that rank was against a Charlie who would do wakeup EX Moonsault.

I only noticed 2 things.

Yeah, this seeing this more and more. Can't do SHIT once "it" starts.

"It" being SFV's endless rush down.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Fighting Abby feels werid. Like a marvel boss character. Youre too big mon.
