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

Drunken Fist Lee, Gentleman Eagle, and Sodom. Yes!

Yeah G is basically what would happen if Q had good stuff and real combos/corner carry. A character that people hate and will piss them off.

G is annoying but G in VT1 is cancer. He is everything wrong with the game times 10 in vT1.

In VT1 he becomes the President of the World. The President we really need right now. Can’t just be pulling out papercuts of honesty vs the World’s President.

If a V-Trigger called “MAXIMUM PRESIDENT” was anything less than completely broken it would have been a disappointment.

G damage + corner carry is silly, but rush him down like there’s no tomorrow works for me atm. When VT1 is ready to start his circus I’m staying far as possible, the important thing for me is don’t let him VTC on hit and punish when he’s trying to get closer.

Until you get hit with instant overhead > vskill nonsense into super or he scoops you up like Zangief and wall carries that ass into the corner. Smh

Well, it makes some characters special.
I hate being AA by Rashid after crossing him up while trying to escape and still getting back into the corner, but I don’t want that to be removed.

It’s like dealing with a Urien that doesn’t have an EX Reversal. You can actually suffocate him to stop him before he starts. Urien you have to account for the EX reversal and wake up Aegis so more defensive things to worry about which gives him room to move around and press stuff. Unless G is sitting on super I just make sure to keep wailing on him. His buttons are huge though so if he does get space you’re going to have to work to get back in.

I think the only character that was actually retarded with it was 2.0 Rashid and that was back when he had a faster wall jump escape.

Regular characters that have corner switch V Reversals like Ed and Kolin? That’s fine. Please burn your trigger away so I can fight you honestly and still have access to my trigger. I can always button VTC my way out of a corner if the worst should occur. Plus the twitter video only shows that there are options to blow up abuse of the corner v reversals any ways. You’re not going to corner escape v reversal a c.LP or a meaty ranged c.MP without taking a punish.

You V reversal Urien into the corner? Button VTC or wake up Aegis coming for dat ass any way.

If anything, I think EVERY character should get a v-reversal that side switches. That way VR1 is a 'Get the fuck off me" tool, and VR2 is more strategic side switch.

Sacrificing a bar of V-gauge is fair price.

I don’t agree on that Urien vs G comparison.

Urien doesn’t have a flip kick that beats most.normals and bypass fireballs and is safe and can be cancelled to V-skill for pressure on block.

Unless the G is really sleeping, its VERY hard to jump on him or even dash.since.his cr.MP and st.LK are great at checking stuff. Cr.MP also seems really confirmable to me when i tried him out.
He also doesn’t have a dash low that can deal.a crap ton of damage, require no charge and can again be made safe.

No 3 hits fireball either

Urien is better than G on the getting from the ground game but G have much better anti air and ways to stop your approach imo.

Makoto made me fall in love with 3s. It was the 1st time I took getting serious and learning a character in and out serious.

Everytime I hear her theme I still get chills, I got so hype off her music and play style.

Whoever said Makoto was the 1st sf5 character is 100 percent right, the character was 100 percent yolo. With a dash of netural, all her normals were legit good for something. She didn’t have a useless button.

1st time I did this I understood the power of being a scum bag

Honestly I still don’t believe she’ll make the game. I can’t imagine her having her dash and playing her online lol.

She’s pretty much built for sf5 however. G was only the beginning of command grab into mixup into game over.

Honestly all the characters that people want in s4 are perfect for sf5. I hope we get rose that restores playing heavy normals and neutral game. ex spiral needs to have invincibility to keep the scrubs honest lol.

That feeling when Dudley would probably get a rose vskill that would end up better than vega’s rose vtrigger

Makoto really wouldn’t fit SFVs story unless they add someone to attach her to…of course we have Ibuki but it seems like her “story” focuses on dicks and being Karin’s little worker :^)

tbh, SFV has drained me with all of these grapplers and non grapplers but fuck you I have a grapple anyway…too much Guilty Gear retarded hybrid shit going on…

I hope S4 tries something different even though its hard to put anything new in SF once you hit a certain roster count point…IE SF4…hmm maybe they can just add more boring footsie characters…I’d like that

The problem with Rashid was that he had the side switch v-reversal on top of the wall jump on top of the EX eagle spike on top of a 3 frame normal on top of a cr.lk that checked all shimmy attempts on top of a reversal.

Character can go eat a dick.

That’s KOF also. 2 of the shoto ish characters have CGs (one of them Iori being historically top tier partly due to it). If Akuma or Ken had a CG lol
