SF5 Lounge: Idom Wins. Only Poison is Woman enough for Capcom Cup

Boo

Oooh!

One of the more interesting things about SamSho (and probably a good example in how “depth” is a meme word in the FGC) is how compelling the gameplay is with the seemingly limited toolset characters have.

Having games that offer satisfying and engaging gameplay beats the “depth” every day of the week.

Has there been another VT 2 spotlight video today? I’d like to see Bison’s.

If anybody wants to play anything right now, from 30th to Nidhogg, I have hella things on my PS4 save for NRS games.

Who trying to catch hands in Garou or GG?

Bison VS2 is a dp

What Smash and Samsho have in common is a low barrier to functionality.

You don’t have to grind oki timings, know frames, or combos to function. Not that those aren’t important but yeah. It makes people want to play because leveling up feels more within their grasp.

@flyingve and @Pertho I’ll likely play some SFV or 30A a little later, just going to mess around in DBFZ for a bit

@Pertho I edited the post hours ago when I realized there would be confusion.
“Some dude”, is a guy that has been on James Chen shows many times including when their full UNIST show when the game came out.

No problem.

Just post/send me a message. I think I’m free most of today.

Also I just want to say playing random select I enjoyed playing Mika

That’s still why SF2 remains the best SF for beginners. One thing that definitely became apparent to me was how accurate Momochi was in saying that SF5 is hard for a lot of stuff. Going from character to character and not knowing what to do with the v-triggers was a massive hurdle.

I have my issues with SF2, but it certainly is a good one for beginners, and is also fun at low levels.

To many games you can play by slapping buttons, but that’s not what the games are really made for and its not a great way to play. New players usually aren’t dumb, they know this.

Actually, SF games were pretty good on beginners up until SF4.

SF4 is just a parade of esoteric nonsense and stupid execution hurdles. SFV still has problems in that regard but It did pull back on alot of SF4’s stupidity.

So some of the really cool looking combos can be done by mashing Triangle? Lol, okay

in DBFZ? kinda. Its one of the auto combos. Though there are no unique functions of the M>M auto combo, and its in effect, pretty useless outside of some edge case hitconfirm tricks.

@plusframes

is Triangle L or M on the controller? I may have said the wrong thing.

No, it’s M. You’re good

Outside the fact that 1 or 2 episodes ago they talked about Infiltration knowing nothing about how it developed, which was pretty triggering: I was looking for a podcast where people know what they are talking about.
In the last episode they start talking about SF Vskills and they have no idea what Vskills of the characters are.
Apparently Lucia’s Vskill is the run and Cody’s Vskill is tornado.
I understand you don’t play the game and you don’t know/remember stuff, if anything I appreciate it, but don’t talk about it on a podcast. It’s grating.
They are also convinced that Vskill-2 is coming in February apparently.

You expect too much out of a podcast that said Smash was a fighting game.

Lol, yeah, they don’t follow SFV that much and are often wrong with things, but their knowledge in other games is pretty good in my experience.

Since it has auto combos and it’s DBZ i’m Guessing I can get my homies to play it. I’ve been trying to get my buddies into fighting games for the last few months, hoping this one will do it
