The ideal SF4 match ^^^

The current situation brings it back to mind but has anyone else seen Star Trek Continues? I thought was really good. James Doohan’s son takes over his role in it. Always thought that was cool.
DS9 is the best Star Trek don’t @ me

Why would I @ you. DS9 was excellent. It doesn’t get good until Sisko goes full Hawk though.

The way sweeps are handled in 5 is such a gamechanger. Nearly aways punishable with a sweep makes sense but the old way keeps the match flowing better imo
I go back and forth on TNG and DS9 being the best, they are remarkably different.
I agree though, DS9 does take a while to get rolling. But once it does it’s top notch.

Yh it was a bad matchup in s1 but it’s better since his nerfs. I still consider the matchup to be terrible alongside others but some think differently, but then i’m not that great since i never took birdie to diamond and stalled around platinum ranks.
This is a matchup chart i found in the discord.
Yeah I did for long time. My view is this. TNG has more of a consistent quality. DS9 starts slow but once it finds its footing it is the best of Trek IMO. Cannot go wrong with either series though.
Yeah DS9 is my favourite.
Yeah, it’s weird. On the one hand, sweeps were always the noob gun in oldschool SF. Safe, high priority, get a HKD and usually had amongst the most damage and range of all the normals. So I did personally want them toned down. But I didn’t want them neutered like what 5 has done.
In this game I’d make sweeps HKD on normal hit, or I’d keep them the way they are but reduce damage and make them safer like oldschool sweeps.
Having said that, I’m finally learning to use them well in sf5.

They both take very good advantage of their formats. TNG is always moving, so it relishes putting the crew in wildly different scenarios, and it represents some of the best of that hopeful, wide-eyes style of sci-fi.
DS9 can’t hit the reset button every episode, so it must live with its continuity. It’s never as creative, but it has depth and complexity that TNG just can’t have with its format.
I think I’m partial to TNG, even if only for the Borg episodes.
I hold that the borg are the best “villain” ever conceived in fiction.

That was always my thought, give them their reward (a real HKD), but make them mostly unsafe. If the granted a real HKD, even a punish sweep would be a big deal.
Right now… they don’t seem to do much of anything.

Big problem I find in SF5 with whiff punishing is that it actually looks like you’re trying to whiff punish which kinda isn’t the point of whiff punishing in the first place.
So using my favourite button - Rashids cr.fierce, I can’t simply walk in and out of a place and make him do it, I’ve got to stand still on “this exact training sqaure” then hope he strangely whiffs it at a place it wouldn’t reach anyway…
Basically it doesn’t flow well at all. It’s unatural.

ya you’ve missed my point entirely
Yeah I’d say it goes
late DS9>TNG>early DS9
Both are amazing, though Picard is my favorite captain for sure.
Correct me if I’m wrong.
But it seems since SF4 street fighter has become a game of millimeters and milliseconds, which feed into the Math Fighter 5 meme.

Borg are great.
The Cardassians are fucking savage too.
Who was the kind of good guy, but still maybe bad guy Cardassian? He was a great character.
The Dominion were great as well. I like the idea of multi species unions in science fiction. Like the Covenant in Halo.
