You must feel pretty hollow twin with this radio silence from daddy Capcom. What’s a stan with nothing to shill?
Do you need any character ideas or some infos?
I’m sure I can provide infos if you need them.
I like rushdown characters.
I prefer using waifus but priority goes to rushdown characters. Let me know.
If it helps, my mains in fighting games are
SF - Cammy
Soul Calibur - Taki
Tekken - Xiaoyu

I still don’t get what people mean when they say that non-SFV fighters don’t have guessing. It’s a part of every game. The decision making just has to happen too fast for the genre not to force you to guess (unless every mixup is easily reactable, or all offense is 100% guaranteed. Neither scenario is desirable for obvious reasons). Hell, even neutral is full of guesses, they’re just not obvious a lot of the time.
Said guessing usually involves nuanced and deep decision making, though. And it’s a huge part of what makes the genre fun, in my opinion. So I’m wondering what non-guessy game guys like Edmunds friend are referring to.

Typically they just don’t have right words to express what they are trying to say.
SFV is very explosive as a game. SF4 was too, but it’s was from a fewer number of situations.

Yeap. Main reason being both me and my friend didn’t go in depth in sf4.
We started only in usf4 and we didn’t even use the mechanics. We played it like street fighter 2 that’s why I found it hard to challenge what my friend had to say that sf4 was this perfect game that required no guessing and it’s 100% skill.
Also he’s clearly influenced by all the reddit posts that shit on sfv and praise sf4 to high heavens.
He only links negative news about sfv to our group chat.
Eg when a player loses a sponsorship.
Bad news about e-sports dying for the fgc.
Hes a good friend of mine but his negative Nancy attitude is annoying.
Female Rushdowns.
Noel is pretty basic and straight forward. She is mainly played in your face, but got some decent Neutral tools. But she has to work hard, because of the nerfstick she got.
Makoto is another choice, more focused on close up pressure and mixups. She is also pretty basic, but her Drives will need a bit of adjustement, since you need to charge her Drive Buttons. She also got fast Buttons and a DP.
Lambda is a Zoner/Rushdown Hybrid. Main focus will be to keep pressure up, since her defence is absolut shit. Her Reversals are also pretty bad. Her Neutral is good, but has a very step learning curve.
Kokonoe would be the next. Kokonoe is more about setups, she has high damage and lots of tools, but also shit defence. Also a step learning curve, but she has really good pay-off.
Izanami is the last true Rushdown female. She has one absolutly dumb mechanic in ribcage. She also has float, which allows her to be “standing” while airbone. Means she can do ground moves, while “levitating”. What allows for shit like “lol fullscreen low”. Her Oki is also dumb. Drawback? Complex Combo routes and high execution barrier.
Thats the Full Rushdown list.
Other Options:
Es. Es is the variable Unga Shoto of the game. She has giant buttons, strong zoning and Bors. Bors basically make all he Sword Specials highly + on block and gives them massive hitstun. Allowing her to either pressure very heavy or delete an opponents healthbar with one simple confirm. Her average Combos deal not much damage tho, so you need to capitalice on mistakes very hard. Also she’s practically untouchable from the air.
Tsubaki. Can be played in multiple ways. Very flexible character, awkward to play and no one likes her, cause she’s a bitch. Good, but playing Tsubaki is a nerf in itself.
Izayoi. Neutral Control, Hover Dash and teleports. While she has drawbacks to everything, her Hoverdash is way to good to open people up. She also has a hard to escape blockstring, but is more on the defensive side of the cast.
Litchi. Is flexible and can be played in a lot of ways. Her learning curve is freaking high, she is very hard to play and her staff Combos will break your head for some time. Also everyone will remind you regulary that she’s a trash character and has only big tits to offer.
Mai can be played in multiple ways too, she is mainly about her big buttons. She can be played as rushdown character, but excells not really in that area, since her rushdown itself is super linear and predictabo.
Stay away from Taokaka and Bullet. Bullets only good point is very high damage, she gets bullied to death by 9/10 of the cast and her Neutralgame is as non-existend as Terumis (means you lose at every range and need to constantly make high risk decisions for middle to low reward.) And Taokaka is bottom 1 uncontested.
There a slight overview.
