PlusFrames has a point. Also, I know this may sound a bit stupid, but have you tried plugging it off and on again? Turning whatever device it was plugged in on and off again might work too.

I used to have this kind of problem on an old pad of mine, if the pad desynched for whatever reason, it may “hold down” some input. Good old reboot fixes that.

I really, really, really hate that SFV rewards scrubby playstyles.

I hate blocking a -2 neutral bypass move and then having to guess between a throw or EX DP. I know I should be countering the neutral bypass move instead, but it’s so much easier to do them than it is to AA them and I absolutely hate that.

Edit: reading what I just typed, I realized I could probably delay tech to beat both options, so I guess I should lab that.

Because the fastest moves are 3f?

1987

I think its mainly 2 things.

  1. Fast moves in SFV are 3 frames. Which means you only have 2 frames to play with between disadvantage and punishable, or advantage and combo-able. Combined with #2.

  2. Low pushback on most things. Due to the low pushback, you will frequently be in range that those buttons are actually combo-able/punishable.

To use two games as examples. 3S has crazy strong frame data on alot of normals, but pushback is a realy thing, so you don’t always have access to your characters whole option tree (in a way that effective), so things like +6 on block aren’t as oppressive as they would be in SFV.

SamSho (2019). moves are ridiculously negative on block. However, the high pushback, and slower average startup on moves mean its not just a rochambeau.

I swear battle lounge is so much laggier than casual/ranked matches. 90% of my matches are smooth compared to battle lounge where it’s like 50/50 chance it’ll be bad.

1994

Okay, I am ready. Send an invite whenever.

Who do you use again? I’m getting you out of Silver before year end

Edit: In SC6 did they patch out custom characters in ranked. I’m reading they did but not height changes or something? Can someone who’s played it explain?

There’s no hope :sob::sob::sob:

I’m JK. I just picked up Cammy and have a lot to learn. I’ll get there, I just need to put in work and stop switching mains when i can’t blame my losses on learning a new character.

Also need to learn patience and confidence to stop mashing and panicking on defence and overreacting in neuteal (trying to twitch AA and counter with fast unsafe specials (Spiral Arrow) When it’s not really a move I can punish

2001

Fucking WHAT!?

2002

Cammy is the perfect character to get out of silver with.

Yeah just start with the basics. Anti airs, buttons, and maybe 1 or 2 combos.

If you are having trouble with reaction DP don’t forget she has an air throw now. From what i remember s.hk is ok too if you want to give up some consistentcy for big damage if you get a CC.
