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

Not saying it’s good either but it’s better than what it could’ve been…and with Capcom and this game you kinda have to take what you can get

By the same token though none of the outfits in Extra Battle I’ve really cared for so it’s easier for me to ignore it XP

Happy holidays to you all exquisite people.
Tonight I drink to your honour. And for evil too.

No Bison player should ever complain about being run away from in this game. If you’re a Zeku player you can always just switch to Young Zeku and Y Zeku literally can’t be run away from. You just have to swing and hope he dies before he gets there.

That’s why I can develop Old Zeku like Young, when I’m the latter people act like I smell shit. Thank God I can run for real with him, so I can make the party jump pretty soon.

rly wtf, he feels faster than a few decimals

They would need to alter Ken’s Vskill but that would be okay as a trade off if he would get a new one along with a new SFV expansion title.

I’ll be honest I like kiting slower characters around the stage with Vega just because it obviously triggers people.

Big stages kind of started with 3S and CvS2. Both games have bigger screens than ST by miles.

3S stage size is way nicer than SF4 though. Feels like 3S gives you room to fight over without it being the first hit gets you cornered. Gotta go back to it to get a better sense of the stage. Probably a lot of good that can be figured out if you do a lot of math involving ratio of the size of the characters to the stage and walkspeeds.

Kind of how they did a thread in FGD to measure fireball strenght by the # of fireballs needed to kill you and comparing that across games.

Playing Sagat I love fighting these types… Get em to the corner, stay at the sweet spot and lock em down with shots… Easy W’s

The SFV S4 Ryu mirror seems almost as honest as the 3S Ryu mirror.

Kage has helped me realize that nobody knows what the fuck footsies are unless it’s on the Evo screen. All that shit talk about Ryu and now they want to use a variation of Ryu :^) Now we have a army of players who are trying to go back to the basics which is walking forward a bit :^)

Basically this game does not teach you a damn thing I swear.

3s seems nuttier than sfv

I think there is some serious selective amnesia with that game

Well when you have regular fireballs that are punishable on hit and the original SFV dash in the same game, it’s gonna get a little nutty.

That’s why everyone hated Chun because she slowed the game down in a game where “everyone is a semi grappler”. Throwing people over and over is just a way of life in 3S especially with the kara throws.

That’s why I liked the game though as it was the first real SF I got into competitively and it wasn’t as A+B=C as other SF games. You have to play more by feel and intuition and not everything thrown at you is going to be reactable. Something that can also prepare you well for marvel and anime games that also have feel/unreactionary things about their neutral. 3S Yun mirror is basically like being able to hold a button and charge up your own v trigger.

I love when people complain about the dashes in SFV cuz I’m like, I’ve been dealing with that shit since before you guys even started playing IV. You’re gonna get dashed on but could still play neutral and win matches.

My major complaint was the input delay.

Dashes are still powerful if you know when to use them, but i felt like even when i perfectly scouted them out i got blown up, and its still a thing online especially. Too many fools online feeling themselves thinking theyre hot shit in neutral because they can mix up fireball with dash online. Theyre a lot more manageable now, offline at least

Now they have to catch you sleepin and actually put some thought into it

Yun is the biggest turnoff for me with 3s, one of the most overpowered characters in a fg ever.

Yeah input delay fix gives more room to react to them, just sleeping they will still get you. Gotta close dat gap.

Yun is cool. Luckily he required enough execution that almost nobody at tournaments was any real good with him. The main thing that made him manageable for me vs the few people that were good with him was that he wasn’t really able to rack up stun well since supers dont build stun. If you had decent defense vs Genei Jin you could survive running your stun bar up and focus on trying to stun him. I had more trouble vs Yang because 2 low forward exes and you’re stunned.

This new Falke isn’t working for me.
I am not getting anything out of her lights, the start up of standing shot is fucking every punish and combo of mine, s lk doesn’t hit half of the time after shot somehow lands because she was pushed too far away.

Just… why Capcom?

It’s working for me. You just have to use your mediums and heavies more where you would have used lights. Which is the harder part of playing Falke because youll need your one hit confirms down and such. When you get that down the pay off is better becuase you get safer situations to set up your better damage and corner carry than you did in S3.
