I’m not , i actually feel ya.
Happens to some of the games i like as well.
I get games on soul Calibur really fast on the PS4. Its dead on Pc unfortunately. The graphics are really gorgeous on Pc though. I crank it to the max at 1440p and apply a 150% render scale and it looks glorious.
There’s also a lot of top players in singapore like Shen Chan and Shen Yuan. I got raped really badly by Shen Chan at an offline session years ago in SC 4. And he became Evo Champ in sc5.
Was really tough for me when both Cammy AND Xiaoyu got nerfed at the same time. Jesus christ.
Don’t cut me this deep you mad man!

There was a time we called guesses “reads”. “I’m good with my reads, it’s why I win” "Look at that read!“. But alas, we have to blame something for losing and we can’t blame ourselves.

I don’t know how to make bad points.
You got owned but said you didn’t and think that a bunch of 09’rs and ‘15-16’rs liking your posts makes you correct. Laughable, it’s not a popularity contest. If I wanted to be popular on this forum it would be easy. Say what others say, say nothing objectionable except when demonstrably false statements are made that are easy to dispute.
Parrot the words of others.
Frosty with that I win because I said I win meta. lol.
Your friend as far as I’m concerned did have some correct points. Probably the one that most stood out for me was his assertion that in sf5 you are guessing on offense as well.
This is particularly true and one of the “problems” people have with the game. That game at its most basic components on offense actually breaks down until you get someone cornered. Then the game goes from having terrible offense to high octane get fucked offense. It’s ridiculous.
This games offense is basically mixing between these options:
TickThrow
Dashup (or against opponents wakeup) throw
Shimmy
Tight versus 3 frame blockstring
Low to catch people walking backwards
Non tight blockstring to walk back in and create more pressure on offense
White chip blockstring
Delayed normal blockstring
All those offenses are needed to stop about 3 maybe 4 defenses. This means at midscreen, without a KD (for most characters) defense is pretty easy. Your one defense can cover 2-3 of those offenses.
If you just block as an example. You don’t get hit by frame traps or delay traps or shimmies so you “beat” all those options.
If you jab, as an example, you beat delay traps, slower frame traps, spaced tick throws, walk back in pressure.
If you walk backwards you, depending on spacing, beat everything. Yes, everything. Throws get walked out of, lows don’t have conversion potential for a lot of characters, frame traps and delayed frame traps just get held back against or they get fuzzy walked. There are very few options to beat this at midscreen that don’t require an excessive amount of risk. The only thing that wins in this situation is to over extend on your blockstring and try to convert a low or throw or shimmy or frame trap after having over extended. This gives the defender the easy ass chance to jab out and even get a CH confirm against you.
And then, the exact opposite happens when people are cornered. All of a sudden your offensive up close mixup options become hyper strong because your opponent no longer room to fuzzy walk and almost all knockdowns give major frame advantage for mixups.
Then take a look at sf4 and you have better pokes so you can actually wage a decent midscreen fight without having to engage in the midscreen upclose mixup fuckery if you didn’t want to. And most characters had good lows to convert from strong ranges. The game was way less gap/ no gap artificial pressure based. You took risks on offense more when you wanted to, not because you needed to.
I had viable options to knock people down from almost any range on screen. Sf5 this is not something that happens consistently with most characters so upclose frame advantaged infighting and “frame stretching” is the norm. And by frame stretching I’m talking about when you take a small advantage like +2 or +3 and do either a forward walk or a slow move like a CC or heavy. These “stretch” the frames to get a bigger reward than what was technically available.
This frame stretching is the crux of why many people think sf5 is all guesses. Both players are constantly guessing whether the frames will be stretched, how they will be stretched, where they will be stretched from, what moves they will be stretched from, etc.
This creates terrible feelings on both offense and defense. On offense the attacker feels like he has to perfectly predict the opponents defense to have any chance of hitting him.
On defense, the offense seems like it can go on forever with lots of frame stretching gaps where the opponent is moving forward and pressuring you the entire time.
Me personally I don’t mind being on defense in sf5. Not midscreen versus most characters because I can just mixup various amounts of fuzzy walk and the occasional jab and make 70-80% of an offense largely irrelevant.

You shouldn’t have to guess on offence!

That’s when he’d slowly heal the red damage, right?
Awesome strawman! Keep arguing against what your opponent didnt say. Makes you look smart!
@Dime Appreciate your input man.
How’s highland doing? Hope he’s doing fine. I saw him playing Arcade Mode of all things the other day lol. Get that old man back here! =D
Not slowly. Wolverine takes more damage than everyone. They’d “heal” him back to normal damage.

Highland works “up north” where you have to fly in to a minesite. While there you don’t have your normal friends and family so your life is basically on hold while your work. It’s 10-12 hour days, then you eat and sleep and do it again till your roster is up and then you go home for a week or two. I worked in the mines for about 5 years. It’s a hard life, but lucrative.
He takes his PS4 to camp with him and practices there. I guess some of that practice is arcade mode 
I doubt he would play online in camp because the internet tends to be terrible in those places with like 5k people all connecting to one camp router or whatever (I’m no IT guy, but shit gets bogged down)
So he’s doing good, bit bored, but that’s per usual. I hooked him up with some Koontz a couple of days ago and he hit me up with some rothklus?
Not sure who won that exchange yet. But the novels good so far with the limited time I have to read.
