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

What’s the deal with Kage’s stomp? HK stomp is +, right?

Edit: also damn that buff to Ryu’s fireball. HP one travels too fast now.

I think it’s goes
LK is -4, MK is … something, HK is +2 and EX is -8 for Stomps?

Best thing to come out of SFV is zekus theme song.

What do you think of the Parry. Dudes in the discord were trying to shoot me down saying it wasn’t that good. I reckon it changes the matches quite a bit.

our discord? Nah that parry is nuts

All this Zeku talks reminds me that I played against Wolfkrone over the weekend.

I beat him the first game fairly solidly and in the 2nd game he made two comebacks against.

I ready up for the 3rd game and the bastard let’s the clock run out. This isn’t the first time he’s done that to me. He also rage quit on me back in S1 or S2.

I run into him in ranked again and beat him in the first game. I sit there at the rematch screen while he readies up. I clap and countdown the time like I need to wear a safety helmet, all the while laughing like a maniac. I know he’s pissed. I know that he knows that I know that he’s pissed.

Made my morning.

It really depends on how useful it is as an anti air, it’s also yet another typical random bison spaz move that you have to worry about.

Totally unnecessary, I really wish capcom wasn’t so insistent on creating a handful of blatantly stupid characters

Sakura is looking like another contender so far from playing against itzlcd, but it was too laggy for me to meaty and hit confirm. I’m scared of the sakura man, that faster than average cc button that is harder to punish on block or whiff punish than most + walkspeed + godlike standing lk (it’s even better than ryu’s) had me weary going into this season. Gonna be fun times trying to do shit. I dunno man, trying to navigate the real estate against her as ken is nightmare

Cody’s yolo ex moves, ex zonk + ex tornado basically just auto win neutral. Compare his ex tornado to bison’s ex projectile shit thing, the plasma has 3 hitpoints and doesn’t even require charge. Harder to neutral jump his tornados now, gonna hold a bunch of ex knuckles on top of that. VT2 even got buffed, when I thought it was too crazy for a 2 bar v trig to begin with. bleh, i might just hop on the cody or sakura train.

I think Sak has just gone from being bottom 5 to being a solid mid tier with the injected oki from DPs. It looks better than it is because of how bad a spot she was in. St.mk is way better and the cr.mk xx hpdp late cancel being a combo now gives her better oki from neutral, but she’s still got pretty shit VT game and a lack of solid ranged normals.

Cody has gone to top 10, no doubt. Changes have fixed basically every slight flaw he had outside of his Tornado Shot being super risky in neutral.

Ah yeah I used to play against LCD in KI. He loves some Cammy. Good to see him go with the schoolgirl struggle and slowly having it pay off. I laughed my ass off seeing him lose a match on twitter because he wouldn’t v reversal Rog’s trigger.

With her CC you talking about her s.HK? Her b+HP is fast but minus enough to punish. s.HK is 14 frame start up so that’s average. Only thing interesting about her s.HK is that the pushback is so strong that it’s effectively safe on block unless they have a 4 frame super.

She’s good now but if you’re scared of her still probably playing too honest of a character. She’s cheap once she hits you, but pretty honest until then.

Still think he’s better off making you block it than making it hit. If he hits you with it he should have just hit you with s.HP or df+HP instead. He’s got gdlk buttons that are tough to whiff punish so trying to throw out something that can actually be whiff punished and crush countered only gonna go so far vs the better characters. Especially when it pushes them away from where he wants to be.

It’s amazing how the fucking timer is mind game within a mind game.

Scenario 1:
You just beat someone’s shit in but they play like shit and you want them to know.
[Let the timer run out]

Scenario 2:
You just got bodied and you’re mad as fuck so you ready up fast as shit but then they let the timer run out.

Scenario 3:
You got beat by a god like player and you’re fucking salty but you know if you ready up they will immediately decline because (EPIC LUL NO REMATCH) so instead of doing anything you just watch the timer go down so you don’t give those cucks the satisfaction of declining you.
(But it still secretly hurts)

Scenario 4:
You smash on a top player that normally never runs it back with you and they ready up faster than Usain Bolt jacking off and you let that shit get to 2secs before you ready up just to let the fear sink in.
(You get bodied in the next set then they don’t run it back)

My Falke bodied his Zeku last time we played. He kept mashing buttons on my double wake up covering okis and he died. He bitched out and dipped out of rematch so I just blacklisted him. Don’t got time for people who can’t deal with honest staff lady. He should just go back to Laura so he can get rewarded better for mashing.

SF4 continuing to have more hype moments than 5 has had overall. The Liston one is the most hilarious one though.

god bless you friend Wolfkrone is a monster in human clothing and every act of shaming him is a victory for the human race as a whole.
