and that’s why we exist to give people playing relevant characters highlight reels this patch
The over reliance on CC normals during footsies, throw loops are actually gone so the corner situations are more involved, your v-trigger is important but not so much v-reversals lose you the round, certain characters have been differentiated and adjusted enough that players can make playstyle choices (Zangief vs Abigail vs Birdie/ Rog vs G), the top part of the cast has flaws that you can training mode to take advantage of as opposed to nerf to the ground (Rashid did a lot of technically fraudulent stuff in certain places that can be taken advantage of if your practice it as opposed to giving him the Ed treatment), activated v-triggers can win the game as opposed to will, certain mid tiers are a bit more competitive than they used to be where they are solid.
Some of the shit you’re complaining about is some new kid tear stuff. Yeah, you’re going to have some of the bad stuff that happens. But having that bad stuff doesn’t mean that the whole game is bad. This is definitely not season 1 throw loop Cc nonsense, it isn’t season 2 shimmy or get v-triggered lols, It isn’t season 3’s lets release a bunch of shit characters but hold this Abigail/Menat/Ibuki nonsense, its just at a more decent spot where cheap shit is around but more characters have tools.
What you’re complaining about is akin to wanting kara throws, one hit confirms into supers and whiff meter building being taken out of 3S. Right now all the stuff you mentioned is the price of admission into SF5. You can take it or leave it. OTOH, some of the stuff from before is still a thing, it just isn’t the terrible shit show it used to be.

Throw loops aren’t gone, they weren’t gone in S3 and they aren’t gone now. Punk took multiple games via corner into throw loop this tournament, CJ Truth looped in the first game he picked Cammy, this is completely untrue.
A reliance on CC normals is still the lifeblood for characters like Balrog and Rashid so that’s entirely untrue, you have outliers like Karin but CCs were actually a problem for her and a sthp without it is much better, ala Johnny buffering it repeatedly into full combo.
Maybe don’t dictate your concept of the meta from a month and one major, because since S2 we’ve been playing the same game with barely any shift out of the top 5. S1 had a bigger difference due to the meterless DP options a small handful had to force respect through those loop scenarios without conceding super.
The game ain’t changed at all lmao.
EDIT**
I don’t dislike SFV, I’m saying nothing has changed for your prior opinions to be shifted into thinking it’s suddenly in a playable state. Everything you hated is still here and nothing has changed.

Ben no one had real throw loops anymore!
Well except for kolin but she has to be in VT2 and the opponent has to basically quick rise right in front of her. Oh and also she can slide into standing light punch throw… you know what never mind
Real doesn’t really mean shit when the diff is a 5f mid or a 2f microwalk, you’re in a 50/50 either way and now you get extra bait options as the attacker because having the option to press a button to beat the throw can be considered better for the attacker lmao.
Karin is prolly best example of this, her throw loop isn’t true but she’ll loop you 5 times. So I don’t discount any of the loops because they aren’t frame perfect, they still work just as well as before. Majority of them to greater effect, because the meaty payout is working more often.

WSO twitter has “SF Special May 18th” in its name. Wonder what that’s all about.
I’m sure it’s the next exciting chapter in Logans ever expanding adventure

You do understand you are expected to spearhead the charge to atone for your sins.
Like I was gonna call the guy a ponce, but I started thinking he dumb enough to pick it as a compliment.
Whiff punishing with a confirmable cr.mk , bit of a difference…
I think punks just good at standing in perfect spots using the exact buttons.
There’s no way the game with fuudo was literally being played at 6000mph
