Personally, I got used to plinking and it feels easier to do for me. I’ve tried doing double taps, but it just feels really uncomfortable. While I can definitely see double tapping being more advantageous in this game, given the fact that you have a 3 frame buffer and the math is better, plinking is still a viable method, since it’s still giving you two inputs. Now, my question is; does plinking actually work in this game? I modded my case to have select plinking available for both kick and punch (especially now that you can’t plink short with jab or else you’ll get a throw). The inputs look correct in training mode, is this placebo or are they actually correctly plinking? I honestly see myself plinking everything instead of double tapping.
I pretty much double tap everything now and it helps with timing.
Plinking works still but isn’t as useful.
this is street fighter 5, just mash :^)
