SFV Lounge: Menat BUFFED, F2P SFV coming, CCCC COMBO BREAKERS coming

nah it ain’t that, it was him actually contesting my returned plasma correctly.

Most GM level Gats I play throw plasma, let me contest freely and I can walk up into st.hk/ex.zonk threat range, if you throw a tiger shot and then wait for Cody to return plasma after the block to try and contest the follow-up, try a jump, even if blocked you take a considerable amount of the screen back and the walkdown has to start all over.

Not an Aussie thing, he just knew what to do.

Yeah it’s hard to call them real GM Sagats. Sagat came out like months ago so they were obviously maining someone else before him. It’s not like their Sagat brought them to grandmaster. They’re just dudes that decided to play Sagat and grind him a bit.

Also, LMK if you still down to play after I get done eating.

yeah sure let’s test the waters see how its lookin

I agree.

Give every character a brain dead aa that leads into corner carry like Akuma’s b.hp.

Or you kno, character has a dp USE IT BITCH!

The best fireball game? Is that because of the air fireball, as I don’t get it.
Regular one gets hit more since the patch.

And as you want to play now, I have to ask - dude, don’t you have a job :slight_smile: ?

Akuma’s regular fireball knocks down and Guile’s boom game took some nerfs, nobody else can take momentum from plasma like Akuma can.

I start next week on a job, but I take contract work so I’m not on a routine

Oh yes, fireball knocking down is huge. It’s strange how easily you get accustomed to something.

When did you become so pessimistic dear?

No, im just saying its an aussie thing for zoners to jump when you get a handle on their fireball. In cali i didnt play against that much. It feels like a uniquely regional thing. Sure it may have applications in the matchup, but he does it against me as well, and so do other zoners. I personally feel like its the best way to play zoners in sf5… all plasma and its easy to read and get through eventually. As good as highland is, if all he did was chuck plasma at me, winning wouldnt be hugely difficult. So… its a good strategy in my momd but i see much more from aussies than anywhere else. But maybe im wrong, who knows.

Even if Decapre made it into the game, she won’t play like IV Decapre.

She has even less history to her play style than Juri does, so you know Capcom will feel free to re-imagine her moveset.

IV Decapre was stupid so I don’t mind if they change up how she plays.

I play often against Turkish Sagat that jumps a lot.
But the thing is, he knows when to do it. I must admit that I get angry when I get hit by a full jump-in combo.

They jumpin when they know you are near 100% focused on their fireball. I can look for both but i still get caught out, and having to look for bith makes my reaction to either, sub par, but doable, but hard to maintain over the course of many rounds or just long rounds…

Which is of course, the point.

Is this before or after we get Byron Taylor :smirk:

Yall joking about Decapre but she appears to already be partially done looking at story mode.

Edit: In fact I think there is a mod floating around that makes her playable.

When I realized I had no one to play because the netcode is shit, so I can’t play y’all and ranked/casuals is just infuriating because people play on McDonald’s WiFi.

Bitch, please. :japanese_goblin:

Akuma traditionally controls the air. If it wasn’t for his low health and a few other things he’d probably beat Chun in 3S.

In IV Chun Li was always known as the galaxy brain AA character that had to learn 10 different grounded AA’s and then vs Akuma still had to go air to air to get him out of the air. I remember Chun Li players hated fighting Akuma in IV as well. Especially pre Ultra when first knockdown was spin around your head time.

Chun has always been too honest. They punished her dark ages days with over honesty and only got one year back with S1 Chun.

Originally Decapre was going to be on the base roster. Due to the USFIV reveal backlash, they scrambled an added Cammy. Then they made Gief to be the Russia representative since Decapre was removed. It’s why the UK had Birdie and Cammy at launch. Given that they have done so much work on the character, she was like 80% done, I wouldn’t be surprised to see her. She was only missing a V-Syatem, Rapid Dagger, and Critical Art. The only more “complete” character than her was Juli. She had all her SFA3 moves, she just lacked a CA and her V-System.

What? By the time I quit, I was stomping your scrub-ass Gief so clean that you had to make excuses about how you weren’t on 100%.
