I would love to play a character with no fireball, but I just canāt, I donāt know how in the world cammy or mika is better than Ryu lol.
So Iāve gone full circle and went back to Ken, the first character I used
I didnāt punch myself in the face playing this time when I tried him so thatās progress I guess
Granted I was ready to throw my controller once 'cause rollback made me screw up my one-hit confirms like 5 times in one game but whatever
Fighting characters like Karin with him is as a pain in the ass as I remember, but Iām sure Menat could handle her and others like her (IE Chun) well enough if it comes down to that
Tune in next month when I go on a depressing rant again about how trash I am and canāt use anyone even though Iāve only got 50 hours worth of matches at best since 2016 so itās because Iām a lazy dipshit

Yeah, Menat is definitely a better pick against Karin. I think itās one of Karinās worst matchups honestly. Karin canāt stand in her favourite range and bully with normalsā¦Menat basically forces her to go balls to the wall rushdown, which is uncomfortable for most Karin players who prefer a more calculated approach. Drill kicks completely mess with her AA timings as well.
Karin donāt like Falke too much either. She can counter poke vs Falke a bit better, but if the Falke player knows their ranges and doesnāt whiff itās similarly dominant neutral for Falke. With Menat if Karin does get in she can go to town, but vs Falke still has to deal with big invincible reversal and a v reversal that knocks her half across the screen if it hits. She basically canāt jump at Falke either unless she gets within cross up range and can always just prepare j.LP for that range.
I havenāt had too much trouble against Falke - at least not compared to Menat. But that could be the caliber of Falke players Iām fightingā¦ seems like most Menatās are solo mains and Falkeās a pretty popular side character. I could see how the match might be bad in theory.
I 2 0d pretty soundly the last GM Karin I fought in ranked and most other Karins I usually beat pretty easily or they have to completely outplay me to have a shot. Only like RobTVs Karin and a couple others give me any real struggle. Itās basically an easier version of the Cammy match which means if Falke gets any buffs at all it will be clear in her favor by then
Yeah most Falkes are sloppy side Falkes that are always missing one of her important buttons, neutral tools or confirms
Anyone know the streamer link is for whatever weekly or biweekly event that norcal holds?
I always lose to Karin as Falke but thatās mostly down to being free to shoulder pressure. Plus sheās a bit like Ken in that any combo knocks you into the corner and Iām historically awful in the corner.
The Karin MU is a pretty good one for Falke. Falke can control space pretty well and Karin canāt actually jump during match.
On a good SF day for me, I will beat Karin players far more often than I lose to them.
On a bad SF day, I will lose to Zangief with Falke.

The last time I had a good SF day was when I was playing Rose in SFIV.

Ok, I usually donāt care about mods (because I canāt use them on PS4) but this one is really cool:

Falkeās normals are slower, she has no disjoints and I despise hold-and-release type special moves
I canāt use her
Good morning, Iām learning M Bison again.

You will be able to play her if you start playing stick!

I played Cody in SF4/SF x TK, played Juri a lot in SF x TK and Zero when I tried MvC3. Itās not a problem of not being able to do hold and release
Itās just like charge characters; I can do it fine, I just donāt like it
I hated playing on stick more than any of that either way
Sticks are overrated , pads are just fine. But hitbox is my favorite.
Just go with what you feel more comfortable with,not whats considered the best.

Sticks made sense in previous games for characters like Viper (no idea how Wolfkrone pulled off that stuff on pad) but with Baby Execution V thereās no big advantage anymore. Just personal preference.

I have personally always found C Viper easier to use on pad tbh. Also most grapplers(270 shortcut for the win)in SF series to be better to play on pad.
