I’d rather shorten the distance and keep the speed, ala the shoto dash in 3S.

That way it’s a tool when you are in but not necessarily a way in on its own.

Dashes are something I really hate about this game, I have hella respect for people that can deal with dash jump distance threats. I hate that area of neutral, it’s really ruins the game of sf5 for me.

Another cool fyi Ed, Claw, G, Urien, O Zeku, Y Zeku, Sakura, VT Necalli, Nash, VT Juri, VT Birdie, Alex and Abigail have the furthest reaching dashes.

Not ordered.

Furthest reaching forward dashes ordered:

VT Bison, Bison, VT Necalli, VT Juri, Nash, O Zeku, VT Birdie.

Dashes being integral to the oki in the game make adjusting them harder than it seems.

Domino effect.

But can we lose Bison’s dash invincibility? That thing is annoying as hell.
Makes is unnecessary hard to check his dash.

Especially with how far it goes. I mean I knew it was up there, but Bison’s dash distance is absolutely crazy on its own. Coupled with its complete invincibility and legit wtf happened during testing. :joy:

Yeah, fuck all that too. That’s half the reason the game is shitty anyways.

They looked at Slayer and said “This dash is cool. We need some of that anime cool points.”

Do SFV dashes have more range and are faster than 3S?

I watched some 3S today and the dashes seemed quicker and like they had more range. SF3 is the only SF I didn’t play back in the day. I’ve played a bit since the xbox re-release. Not much though. My skill level is pretty low but it just looked like the dashes had a lot of range today. Or is that because they’re easier to see?

AND ANOTHER THING

all these long ass LP and LK buttons. that shit was dumb in SF4 and its dumb here too.

FOH with that noise.

Ryu, Sean, Elena, Akuma had 13 frame dashes and Makoto’s was 11. Lmao. Urien was 15 Ken/chun at 16 and the rest were 17 or higher.

I can’t really measure the difference between distances. I’d give distance and overall speed to SFV though.

Spit them hot takes grandpa! Tell dem young’uns!

For what its worth I’ll weigh in. Like I said my overall skill level is low. I’m not bad on SFxT but who played that?

SFV is the only SF that isn’t fun for me. I feel like I play passive/reactionary. I like to poke people to death. I feel if I play SFV naturally I don’t do well. However if I just Bison maul people I fare a lot better. Its weird to explain.

I’ve said before, I play online but my the main game I play is against a friend on mine. We hangout and play each other. So I’m kinda playing a different game to you guys. Our game has evolved since SF2, we’re battling are own strategies since the 90s.

Every SF game has had phases of dominance for each of us. Every game has been 50/50 overall. But he beats me at Tekken and I win SFxT/MvC. SFV is his game. He’s good at subconsciously figuring out what is strong and abusing it. He doesn’t follow SF competitively at a. Doesn’t do any optimal combos. He just does what works.

SFV is just frustrating for me, I can’t even describe it properly. If I play like a bellend and take the odds on what might work then I do well. If I play my natural poke game I don’t do well.

This is the only SF I don’t enjoy. My mate enjoys winning but its dry. We turn it off and go back to other games.

I can’t wait until next Saturday when we can play CvSnK 2 on PS2. There’ll be no SFV anymore. Its done.

Characters with 16 frames or lower forward dashes:

3rd Strike - 7
SFV - 14

Real talk Vega’s dash is amazing. Genuinely surprised they haven’t nerfed it. It’s teetering on the very edge of “lol teleport”.

that’s a problem with FGs in general. We don’t have a universal measurement system for distances. I know in the fireball thread, they compared how many fireballs needed to hit you in order to die to compare their damage across games.

we’d probably have to do something goofy like count the amount of dashes needed from one corner to the other.

Vega’s dash goes kinda far at 17 frames.
But you should realize characters like Ed or Sakura not only dash further but at 16 frames. Or Urien who dashes the same distance as claw but also 16 frames. Then both zekus dash further than claw at 17 too. :joy:

Believe me Vega’s dash is mad tame.
