SFV Lounge: SRK Cross Tag Battle

trash is a strong word for it but yeah, it’s not like sf3 and 4’s air fireball.

Yeah i mean if you wanna old game compare yeah, but within the game its solid and the VT1 fireballs more so.

Cammy-GAILLLLLL!!!

Fuck.

Just the nature of being able to mix air fireball up with other jump approaches (Jump attacks, EX air fireball and divekick) and get a full conversion makes it strong in this game. Very few characters can deal with his air approach without essentially guessing. Even trying to get under it and side switch for a punish can leave you open to a crossup j.MK if he goes for that instead. In VT1 it gets even more dumb as he can also use them out of demon flip and has next to no recovery on landing.

SF3 had parry (without the same recovery penalties that parry characters have in SF5) and SF4 had focus so you could at least mitigate that issue in neutral.

Because I hate Trigger II. At that point I could just go back to Laura and pat myself on the back after winning with two 50:50 resets.

I like Kolin for her counters and the knockdown pressure with hail. If I wanted to play a comeback Trigger character I’d have picked another one.

I’d have tried Zeku out for real if vega didn’t give me the vietnam ptsd with stance characters in sfv

Fuck… they finally took Juri’s throw game away… and gave her nothing in return. Maybe hk will actually hop lows now but that shit isn’t gonna fill the hole in my game taking my throw Oki away leaves.

Menat would be looking pretty good right now if I wasn’t such a character loyalist.

This is actually a well thought out patch for the most part. I’m astounded by the backlash on social media and youtube though. Capcom can do no right.

The’ve gone and done the exactly opposite of what they were preaching

they could when they would want to with little tweaks and not what they do since the first season2 patch by just overdoing it including nonsensical decisions. the way they balance the game so far is…not really something they should be proud of.

Guys, you’ve been playing this game too long to still be complaining about the “buff, don’t nerf” thing.
This would entail that everyone would have an option to deal with Abigail’s bullshit, which would lead into more imbalance as a result in other matchups.

It just doesn’t work that way.

Funny, because some of the mediocre characters that got nerfed like Juri and Fang were actually pretty good against Abigail. Meanwhile 2 of the top tiers don’t really have a real bad mu except for the Guile-Menat mu. So I really don’t get this post

“buff, don’t nerf” i.e. give all characters options to deal with other characters’ options.
That is the philosophy behind their initial statement.

It doesn’t work.

more buffs pls

While that’s true there was absolutely no reason to buff a character like Cammy and nerf some ‘at best mid-tier’ characters like Chun and Ed.
