…sure…
But then it won’t be fair to the Bronze players when I feel like using Kolin. I really wish they had individual ranks for each character.

Individual ranks for each character would be very lovely indeed.
It would allow you to take other characters without too much worry to ranked.
I also can’t believe I made a Monty Python reference and none of you heathens got it!

Pros who are complaining about 3.5 are generally those who get shafted by it. Without being a dickrider, there’s a difference between West pro players and Asian pros, the latter aren’t on suicide watch. Stormkubo will stay with Abigail and said the changes aren’t much a problem for him, John Takeuchi and Oil King remain silent about Rashid, instead they’re working on the character even more. Instead western players are crying like there’s no tomorrow. Some of them are showing their worst side, give a look to BigBird, Problem X or Gustavo Twitter. I understand they put a lot on their characters, but they aren’t honest about admitting these characters most of the time won because of their stupidity. Everything was ok when Shid, Abi & Co. were on top, right? They don’t say a word after S2 rebalance because they got buffs, who cares about Chun, Mika, Nash and Ryu players. Capcom really can’t just buff everybody, people will always look at their opponents tools like children when they give a look on their friends plate to check if they took a bigger piece of cake. Fuck them and fuck EH, I’m tired of this shit.

Complaints will lead to another group of Top Tier characters, I see already BS characters like Necalli sitting on top when Cammy, Guile, Akuma and Menat will get hit by the nerf hammer. Then he will be the next big target and so on. This shit never ends.

Capcom are gods.

If the fgc really wants to be esports they are going to have to learn to deal with patches, nerfs to overly strong shit, and the occasional balance fuck up.
Actually i take that back. The fgc reacts just like every other genre. Knee jerk crying and telling the developer that they don’t know what they’re doing.

I agree with you. I remember the so called pros thinking 3.0 Kolin was just as nerfed as casuals. It’s one thing for players at my level to think that, but they are supposed to have a better understanding of the game. This stupid EH initiative to have “pro players” have a say in balance is asinine. Even taking out the personal agendas, their’s always disagreement about what is and isn’t strong. The bulk of them seem to be just as knee jerk as the casuals.

They’re children. BigBird goes nuts when he saw EX WWS not being super strong in the corner anymore. Even the EX Eagle Spike not landing behind the opponent was heartbreaking for him. Meanwhile the latter being able to bypass fireballs stays and Rashid VT2 stays strong as it is. You can give 10 buffs to a character, but if you remove one thing able to let the player go braindead the playerbase of that character starts to riot. Whatever.
Yeah, I remember when S1 Guile wasn’t supposed to be strong, then Du shows how is done. If you ask me they did not even try their character with the nerfs added and see if they can steamrolling the opponents nonetheless. Crying seems easier.

Reminder that it was OK to let Alex win before but it is NOT ok now.
Reminder to let all Aby players win by a hair so they can still feel good inside.
Judging by the shitstorm on twitter after every patch, pro’s should definitely not be involved with the balancing process. Let the company that’s made fighting games for 30 years make the final decisions. Worst comes to worst you have to switch characters, pro players should have the skillset to do that anyway.

Capcom doesn’t have a pro/FGC player in the house anymore to even start anything like a knights of the round for balancing. There was a small shot of that when Combofiend was in the offices, but now it’s done for that shit mostly.
I mean if they did an Ultra 4 style community poll, most of the same shit that was complained around online was adjusted in this latest patch.

Social media/EH wined that Abigail was dumb as fuck, he’s less dumb as fuck.
-
Social media/EH memed about Alex sitting on the couch doing nothing with his life because why bother trying to win with him when Abi is there? He got some big buffs again. He doesn’t have a Tommy Gun like social media wants, but it’s some good stuff.
-
Social media/EH hates Rashid. They will hate Rashid less now.
-
Medium/heavy anti airs aren’t good enough. They made them better
-
CC’s, V Triggers and VTC’s are too unga. They are now less unga.
-
Sakura and Blanka were clearly CPT unviable on launch like every other DLC character is after messing with them for 3 days. They probably are CPT viable now.
-
Dunk Laura she’s retarded. Get dunked Laura.
-
Make Mika more solid so we can still complain about a grappler still. More buffs for her.
-
Don’t nerf good characters into the ground. Good characters are special. Cammy, Guile and Menat get nerfs that dont kill them and fun new buffs.
-
I hate throw loops. Take them out but dont take them out for any bad characters Juri or Ed or else we’ll scapegoat those changes for how you have an agenda to destroy those characters. NOPE. Your Juri and Ed throw loops get DUNKED so you deal with that. You can’t have both.
Only thing really in there that people didnt ask for are the strange V Reversal nerfs.

Dunno what the “professionals” are sayin’ but I almost did a 3-0 dunk against a Super Diamon Urien/Cammy with Ryu until the server shitted on me. Safe to say Ryu is so strong that he’s crashin’ battle lounges ‘=’
I’m still in the play for fun crowd my self so y’all keep at it…we’ll all come to an agreement soon on where SFV or better yet fighting games stands
sidenote: Birdie is still Birdie to be quite honest…and I’m not sure if that’s a good thing…did they even tweak his VT2? I mean it’s straight but I’m still going to use VT1 for Fuck You get off me reasons
I keep forgetting that Birdie has a VT2.

Is the server shitting the bed for anyone else?
If they were going to give him a Scorpion move they could have at least made your opponent enter a dizzy state on hit. I mean you’re not going to frickin’ hit confirm with the chain on a regular basis anyway. It goes through projectiles so there’s that I guess
Yeah I guess waiting for 3 bars to snipe one Nash or Guile fireball isn’t a bad deal. 
I got the 1,000th post woo. First 1,000 on the Discourse
New thread post turnover number for the Lounge
I say it’s good if we make a new thread after 5,000 posts.
That’s maybe like 1/4th of the amount of posts from an old Vanilla thread (40 x 500 pages = 20,000 posts before making a new thread). With Discourse’s infinite scrolling it makes no sense to have mega 20,000 post threads epsecially since it’s only been recently that the thread has been picking back up a bit of traffic (likely due to AE patch and people just getting slightly more comfortable with this shit). So far it looks like we average about 100 posts every one or 2 days so within a month or 2 that’s about enough time for a fresh title and keep the Discourse wall from being overly ridiculous.
As organized as pages were, I don’t think anyone made any real use of them as you could only go back 5 pages at a time with NO option to hard scroll to previous areas of the thread. Other forums I’ve been to with pages at least allow you to enter the number page you want to get to or some type of wider scroll option. With Vanilla pages were near useless for a lounge other than not having a chat style wall of posts.
Just short enough to not have to scroll forever to check something older and you can always bookmark posts you like to make your own makeshift pages. That or remember the post number for a post.
It’s possible I’ll bump the number up to 10,000 if post rate starts getting crazy, but i wouldn’t want anything bigger than that.
