SFV Lounge: Season 4 is almost upon us, hide your mains

And went 1-2 on my weekly today. :frowning:
I could have done better, but…

I managed to split the base of my lever and it is no longer level with the stick and down back failed me on the worst moments possible. :unamused:
I should have picked a sanwa lever instead of this optical one. At least the base would be metal and could take it, unlike this 2 inches plastic base.

You get a fuckton of meter for hitting RE. Also as you play you’ll learn some characters don’t get shit off some of their A, B, K options. You can also block, step or if you’re Azwel hit K and teleport and not deal with any of that shit.

More soul charge and CE? Hell yeah im hitting RE when I know it’ll hit.

I watched his Sagat tech video and that was enough for me. It was like - ā€œsuper secret Sagat incredible Okiā€

All ya gota do - is have the opponent standing, in the corner, with meter, and they don’t back rise then you can do this!!!

It’s like that other Deadace fella, ā€œSagat footsies!!ā€ Just highlights of him playing people that can’t even do combo’s.

There is a lot of up side in doing things for beginners, but really you have to explain it super well and have just enough technical bits to keep it interesting.

You’re wonderful. <3

I don’t understand why nrs games sell more than any other fighting games (except for the sf2 Nintendo game) yet competitively the scene fades out super fast.

Online is throwing the kitchen sink at me tonight. Holy shit. Help.

Competitive makes up a tiny portion of FG players. People just like fun games.

Thats why SF5 got so much shit. There was literally nothing to do.

People that have fun are total scrubs. FG players should be in a constant state of stress, contimplating your life.

You could have marked me down as an FG player even if didn’t play FGs then.

This happened because fightsticks aren’t like '80s cabs, there’s no reason to brutalize them with brute force. I told you months ago about start learning how use a Japanese lever the right way without the need of stiff spring in it, but you was stubborn about keep playing the way you used for. That’s the result, I have an optical lever myself, but I don’t use it because the lack of tactile feedback from the microswitches force you to apply more useless power from your arms. Fightsticks are delicate, they can’t stand brute force that much.

This happened because the lever makers used a flimsy, sissy, wimpy 2 inches tick hard plastic base that can’t take a punch.
I ain’t doing any of that sissy delicate movements thing. I will order a steel piece cut at the proper format and dimensions and replace the useless, flimsy piece with something sturdy that can take a punch.

Single player content.

Didn’t realize you also build meter for the initial hit. Still I think I have lost about 70% of any RE I’ve been part of so I hate the mechanic very strongly. I mean there’s nothing I can learn to improve my odds. Even if a character doesn’t get something from hitting A it doesn’t mean that he won’t do it. Winning the RE is arguably more important than betting it all on a move that allows a follow-up.

During SF4 days a friend of mine was able to break even the steel piece attached to the lever, he also posted the photo of it on SRK years ago. With a steel attachment you’re going to get more play time, but it will break anyway even after solder that piece. Hey, you do you.

Well, it is cheaper to buy the steel cut piece in bulk anyway!
100+ spares should last me a good while, I suppose! :stuck_out_tongue:
