There’s strange changes in there for sure. Feels like they don’t impact the meta too hard though. Bison Parry I think is probably too good given his design, but maybe it’s his turn for TT.
Hey guys. I haven’t been here in a long time (wtf happened to the layout??)
Just wondering how the game is these days. I stopped playing when Kolin dropped. I remember season 2 was extremely oki based, how is it now? what is strong?
I fail to see anything wrong with Gief being able to cancel and hit CA from c mk!
He needed that!

I’d say it’s mostly the same just with different characters. Top 8 at CC had 2 Zeku’s, 2 Ibuki’s, Rashid and Abi in GF iirc, and i forget the others. Bison won EVO.
S4 is probably the best season at a glance. We just got Evil Ryu Kage.
Sfv Ryu pretty much went through the exact same phases as ryu in sfiv. Top tier in vanilla, kind of for similar reasons. Meter dump into big damage and good aa game. Went MIA for a couple versions and then got pretty much the same buffs going into maybe the final version after evil dude appeared.

Zeku’s v-trigger should be one bar.

The reason why it’s so weak is because you can play half your life as OZ with solid AA. Then when you get your VT, you can switch to YZ and have 2 140 damage AA’s at your disposal which damn near takes away his biggest weakness.
I’m not saying it’s good, but it’s easy to see why it is the way it is, 8n theory at least. Personally I’d only think it was worth it if zeku could add damage onto it like kens VT2.
Game is still utter trash, you’ll hate it if you played low tier and love it if you played top. Game still doesn’t have the footsies of SF4 and anime blows it out the water.
I also bought a shit ton of DLC so I’m the reason this game is still around. You can go back into hibernation again my friend.
So I’m gonna go out on a limb and say we’re are getting more than 6 characters this year but this is the last season of DLC fighters. Then it’s time for SF6.

Attention you Kage bitches:
I will Vt1 through your stomps if you try to use them as a blockstring.
Don’t learn that the hard way,
Zeku is still ass.

I noticed last night you can back dash punish that Dp stomp thing Kage has.
They nerfed the combo scaling off V-Trigger activations and Crush Counters to weaken them, but overall oki and aggressive playstyle are still strong.
A lot has changed though: the game went through Arcade Edition, a lot of characters got added, a lot of modes were added, etc.
Oh, and the forums were almost closed at the end of 2017, although that didn’t happen fortunately.
Kage - Gief feels quite hard. You’re effectively gimped Ryu in that MU, lack of fireball is an absolute killer. Just had some games vs. Infexious, getting into his normal range runs right into Giefs st.mp.
You can vskill every time he st.hp charges though, so that normal isn’t much good vs. Kage.
I’d avoid using crmk xx fireball and stick to using st.hk/raw fireball/f.hp and red fireball for keepout. That seems the best choices for him.
Bea figured that out before Ultra David did.
Grief will only have Grief vs zoners if this adds up right. Back to S2 glory
Made a Gief rage quit.
Good times.
Game still sucks.
Edit: I legit have no idea how you guys don’t think Zeku’s Vt1 is one of the best v-triggers in the game. You get to do so much troll ass nonsense with it. Also welp, back to super plat.
