SFV lounge: London we have a Problem X. SFV gave us the Burger King again

It’s not just about looks, motion and colours matter. SF4 Cody and Sakura body their SF5 counterpart pretty hard.

SF4 was designed by someone who thought about how a move would work. SF5 was designed by someone that never seen a fight movie in their life. Evidence - Cody lk.

I had a nap and I done had a dream I was playing rose in sfv

she was basically the same but had a command grab

Overall the new costumes are average at best, not that impressed.

For Falke i would like something like this.

Looks very good with some armor and a sword instead of staff. Nice, clean and fits her quite well.

did Infiltration get plastic surgey or something? cuz he looks different.

He did (along with the new hair)

plastic surgery culture is actually ridiculously huge in south korea.

i know about the hair…what else has he changed?

ed-can i have a insightfull button instead of that cake?..
ed2- seems just i can see it…

We’ll see what she gets, it’s about her or C.Viper for next season, the other female spot is locked.

Just foaming at that mouth for that M eh? Word from the wise…be careful it IS sfv afterall.

It’s a roll dice at this point, but better the ‘what if’ situation now. I’m used to don’t have robbery shit on my side, if she stays loyal to his gameplan I’m ready for the work. Capcom has just two iterations of M so there’s no risk of getting unasked stuff like Cody and I like all two of 'em. If all fails, Zeku is still here.

Damn, good thing she can’t hear you. She probably rip your dick off.

Why would Infiltration have plastic surgery ? He is mad young, no need for that shit yet, or better said no need ever.

Plastic surgery isn’t just about reversing or slowing down the ageing process. In South Korea for example, it’s also about changing your features to be less ethnic; “correcting” them to be more in line with international beauty standards set by the developed modern world (read: Western culture/Caucasian features).

I get what you’re saying but still I consider it a mistake.But I am the type of person who dislikes the type mentality “I should look like this because that’s considered attractive”.

However,his life his choice.

Yeah, I won’t talk about sf5 chun other than to say that chuns in S1 were findings ways to lose to gief in tourney.

In sf4 though, for Ibuki, maybe I was just good at the matchup. Like I watched part of that first Ibuki match you put in here… it was atrocious from what I saw. The ibuki, who is one of the best in the world, was using cr.mp wiff buffer into… L tsumuji which doesn’t even knockdown… like… why? Better to use M tsumuji as it’s better on block and confirms into KD on hit. Only thing I can think of is that gief has some kind of counterplay to blocked cr.mp xx mk tsumuji… but even if he does she can just do neckbreaker or git gud and not get cr.mp blocked (not hard to do at all) and once Ibuki gets a KD on gief it’s either easy mode safe jump or vortex city, he’s no wall in this matchup. I also use cr.mk a lot in this matchup iirc and one of the only ibukis I’ve ever seen use that button… it’s fantastic, but footsies minded Ibukis aren’t easy to come by.

Watched the second Ibuki vid with thrillhouse. I’ve played him, good player.
Unfortunately you’ve got a guy, though good, probably wasn’t even a top 5 world Ibuki, versus arguably the best gief and even though I only watched the first match that Ibuki won… it went how my matches tend to go. Out footsie gief, wall him out, don’t let him knock you down… you win. It’s not actually that hard.

Idk. Never had a particular problem with the matchup. I’ve lost to lots of gief players but I’ve never walked away thinking it was the matchup.

Stupid example, I moved to Australia, was semi decent at mvc3, got my asskicked by the locals in mvc3. Particularly the best local player took me to town. Now, he was at the time also a decent sf4 player. After getting beat down by him in mvc3, I went to the sf4 machine and rattled off a winstreak against the locals. So he comes up. He seems to main gief, smiles at me when he picks him like “haha, you gonna get yo ass kicked now” but after I easily 3-0 his gief, he steps away from the machine… basically in what looks to be shock and disbelief. I shrugged. For him it was a great matchup.

For me it was simply tuesday.

Anywho, gief never had much of an answer for Ibuki AA’s so if you had any semblance of a ground game with wiff punishing and wiff buffering you could fundamental him down and eventually get a KD and then grab some easy offense.

Plastic surgery is so common in Korea that you’d occasionally see a Korean drama with a really plain girl as the lead.

You’d wonder to yourself for 2 seconds “Wow, why is she the lead?” then you’d realise “Oh yeah. She’s one of the two people in the industry who hasn’t had work done on her face.”

Summary
























I agree that there are duds (Cody’s LK like you mentioned, Cammy’s air throw, Ryu’s Donkey Kick, etc) in some of the animations, but SFV generally looks and animates much better than SF4 ever did. It immediately jumps out at me whenever I go back to SF4.

I haven’t seen what he did beyond the hair transplant. What did he do? Pics anyone?

SFV is pretty inconsistent in terms of artistic directions and animations, it has really good looking designs and models like Bison, Dhalsim, Birdie (he’s so much better as a fatty) and Urien who are probably their best version ever and then we have some horrible things like Alex, Sakura, Guile and Kolin’s face (and in general having most of the guys looking like meat tanks). SFIV models (and the majority of the animations) were ass but I find the overall artistic directions to be much more consistent and to my liking.
And I can’t forgive them for turning a great design like SSFIV Juri into a big breasted girl in a latex suit.
Plus, most of the stages are pretty terrible, both in design and quality (thx god I can at least remove the horrid npcs)

SFIVs semi-cartoony style has aged really well. It’s not a great looking game, but I disagree that the game is ugly. The visuals work just fine for what they were shooting for. I definitely think that game looks better than SFV.

SFxT, on the other hand, was one ugly motherfucker.
