SFV Lounge: Ken is high mid. Kage is barely mid. F2P still coming

Another problem with ed is high skill ceiling.
His fireball absorb projectile is really hard to pull off consistently. On top of that consistently pulling off combos in the corner and vt1.

Lol that hotel is amazing. Dont know how you can travel and be mad gou saw that nonsense in person.

I dunno, I labbed a little bit with Ed to figure some stuff out (after fighting @Akhos) all Ed’s BnBs and confirms we’re pretty easy, and he gets to use a lot of his up close buttons very freely (as compared to Kolin how has a very short list of viable links and confirms).

Heck I could even hit the “legs” input pretty consistently with no practice and I am usually pretty bad at that.

Messing with Ed made me wish Kolins walk speed were better…

That post made me realize I play the fastest walker (Vega) and I think the second slowest (Nash). Kolin seems right in the middle though.

Oscar artwork is just so cute and so silly at the same time.
I need to commission some other pieces from him again in February.

She’s not slow, but I still don’t think her buttons are all that great so it hurts more.

It’s also a little bit that everyone in this game is so damn slow that even a middle tier walk feels like a ball and chain.

Have you tried Sakura at all?

Yeah you should try Sak or the based god Vega if you want fast walk speed. Both have good buttons too.

Also I really like Kolin’s buttons. Her s.lk is good and her s.hp is amazing. Her c.mk is pretty great too between its range and being plus oB.

Man Sakura it’s great and all on paper, until you realize how terrible her MUs are.

Not really, maybe I will mess with her a bit.

Vega I do not like…

They just need to give Abigail a fast walkspeed.

Yeah well he doesn’t like you :angry:

He doesn’t like anyone except Cammy and Chun so that’s not really saying much

I usually like playing chun, but it feels like Capcom has gone out of their way to make me not want to play her in the game.

Could be worse, you could’ve been a Juri main

No dive kick, no stored fireballs, that… thing, ain’t Juri.

Friend of mine just refers to her as Bill, refuses to even call her Juri now :rofl:

To clarify, I don’t think Kolins normals or walk speed are bad. But almost all her buttons hit basically the same range, so her only options for footsies are movement based, which is why her average walkspeed feels off to me.

Abigail is slow as shit, but he can lash out at a bunch of different spots.

Yeah, I’m all for Rethinking a character, but Juri only has superficial resemblance to what she was about. Now she just charges up combos… which is really boring.

That said, I liked the pinwheel changes (except the input change).

Bnb’s and anti airs are easy ofc but that’s what you get on the surface. Dig a little deeper, there’s a ton of things that aren’t easy to execute.
