4-5 latency and the game still stutters all over the place.
Also, Laura seems really shitty when it comes to pressure. I hope i’m wrong but first impressions is she has no options out of any sort of pressure lol. Mash ex elbow and hope you don’t take 40000 damage on how unsafe it is it if whiffs?
V-reversal brooo
no evo for me this year (getting married) but i’m going to try my damndest to go next year
I redact my statement, except the netcode is still shit. Her fireball is really god damn cool for doing little vortexes and shit
Shes fun, but some matchups seem really rough haha
haha, Ramza a girl now.
God damn, Japan is the #1 leader of creating fuccbois
also:
I mean… Chapter 1 Ramza always looked super androgynous but they’ve taken it a bit far… Giving him a nose is what really gets me!
I’m trying Laura too… she does seem to definitely be lacking in certain areas.
No confirms really… can’t do anything off lows… ehhhhhh
Here’s to hoping her game play makes up for it. Still to early to tell IMO . . her fireball might be insanely good for example (if we can set it up)
I don’t know, this netcode is fucking dogshit. Even setting the connection to “5 whatever” only, I’m still getting way too many bad connection. How do they expect you to play a game so footsies based with this terrible rollback? Really hope it’s impoved on release, even if they just adjust the latency window on whatever this 5 rated connection is.
with laura you’re just supposed to do a cancelable normal into dash into command grab and hope they’re sleeping, or get them to block shoulder and then make a read
hey, it worked for combofiend during all the exhibitions, i’m sure it’ll keep working in the future
Pretty sure cancelling into vdash is only going to work short term… otherwise it’ll just be a way to get hit or lose pressure because she’s negative. I don’t even think she has an invincible attack to mix up with? Armored rush elbow thing I guess?
Blocked jab elbow is also instant pressure loss because they can buffer jab and beat everything
yeah her ex elbow has 1 hit of armor, it seems like she can hit with a light elbow and she has the option to command throw, block, or ex elbow if they’re gonna try and mash an attack. Because fuck blocking~
I think her fireball is insanely good and makes her viable though.
I couldn’t do shit against two bison players with their scissor kick pressure though, felt bad man 
I think she’ll end up as a very viable mid-tier. I don’t think YOLO characters are necessarily bad (Batgirl in Injustice). Sonicfox is playing her if you wanna watch someone take names with the character… He pretty much exclusively plays YOLO characters so it fits well…
Apologies for using YOLO twice…thrice
I’m really enjoying SFV. I didn’t think I would as much as I have. Kinda feels like a love child of things I like about Soul Calibur and SF. Weird to me why it took so long for a 2D game to adapt what always made SC so accessible. Netcode isn’t the best but maybe it will be one day…
Edit: THEY JUST ANNOUNCED A NEW JUSTICE LEAGUE ANIMATED SERIES WITH KEVIN CONROY AND MARK HAMMIL COMING BACK. AND JAMES WOODS AS LEX LUTHOR. OH GOD MY DICK.
2016 is the best year ever.
Some higher up at Square Soft needs to make an executive decision to stop making all their characters look like J-Pop idols.
I just don’t understand… Especially considering we already had a perfectly good 3Dish rendition of him in the War of the Lions… And this looks nothing like that. Breaks my heart.
I shan’t be maining whoever the hell that is supposed to be after all.
sfv is definitely a weird game, i feel like you can press all the buttons you want up close after blocking something (because everything meaningful is negative on block), or you could just block forever (because offense isn’t that scary outside a few command grab characters)
like… yeah, if you block laura’s elbow, you just take control back by hitting jab, but the jab doesn’t lead to much because you’ll get pushed out and unable to confirm with 2 jabs, so it’s just a bunch of muddled soup there, you know? nobody can do anything meaningful. you could block and everything will probably be okay, or you could hit jab and nobody cares, etc
the game is fun when you get into mid-range footsies stuff with nash buttons or dash throw or whatever, but i dunnnooooooooooooooo, i guess that really is the whole game probably?
oh also, the killer instinct world cup is this weekend on max’s channel (twitch.tv/maximilian_dood)
all day saturday will be a huge preview of season 3 gameplay and character changes (and it sounds like there will be a lot of that, a lot of the community is excited to see how the game will change from season 2 to 3), followed by a bunch of last chance qualifiers for the 32-man bracket, some season 3 exhibitions with newly revealed characters, and some art exhibitions and other stuff
then sunday is the full 32-man invitational bracket, capcom cup style
if you are at all interested in KI ahead of the season 3 PC release in march, i would recommend you check it out at some point during the weekend. KI is a really good spectator game too, so it could give you entertainment while you’re chilling and doing something else. if you open the stream at a random time during the weekend, you will probably see something cool happening.
you will also see “KI cup mini” videos that sajam (a guy who is also commentating that weekend) and i put together for the event. we did 19 videos (one for each of the 18 characters and one for how combo breaking works) and it took us forever. they will be shown all weekend during down time. if you want a preview of them, you can find them on sajam’s youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/SupermanSajam/videos
here’s the combo breaking one and one of the character videos:
if you guys only want to be in Training Mode with no Fight Requests, set your Dummy to Recording Mode. it puts the Fight Request on Pause the entire time your Dummy is in Recording Mode.
