The Garou Lounge: Sakura Defends Arcades from Bottom Barrel Netcodes

It surprised me too, because before I found the list I was certain that Laura was 1025… It surprised me to see that no female character was above 1000, and just how bad the numbers were overall.

1000 - 2 - Laura, Kolin
975 - 6 - Chun-Li, Falke, Juri, Lucia, Poison, Sakura
950 - 2 - Menat, Mika
925 - 4 - Karin, Cammy, Ibuki, Seth

Seth is so bad. Think I’ll make a nice little custom color pack for her beach outfit…god Seth sucks butt…and those shades…so ugly and wow how she moves…no match for Juri I tell ya what…

also that Guile could have blocked

SF5 the game.

Imagine SF6. I’m Gona call it the end. They will make it simpler again.

Still I think SF5 is fun. Just not in a fun to play kind of way, more a kind of fun - I made a good decision.

Mika used to have 1000 health, I think the Beta and it was nerfed. Poison has 1000 health in SFIV before it was nerfed. Based on the archtypes. Based on the new CE values. I think these characters should be at the new average levels. Laura and Kolin technically got health nerfs. They were at the average of 1000/1000. Laura got no health and half the stun increase of male contemporaries. Kolin got nothing. If they aren’t going to give Juri her stores at the beginning of each round. I think she should be at average levels as well. So…

1025 Health/1050 Stun: Laura, Kolin, Mika, Juri

But that’s just me.

why do libertarians exist

Juri gaining stores is not a problem.

For Juri players it’s like our second nature.

The problem is gaining them while maintaining pressure and keeping momentum, thing she can’t do.

Stores at start would help sure but it won’t really help much.

As for the 1k health it won’t be happening.She has 2 x 3 frame attacks, a dp and she is a woman.

Capcom’s most hated combo when it comes to health values.

Regardless her not having them at rounds beginning is dumb. Ibuki gets her kunai at the beginning of the round. Juri should get equal treatment.

I think health values are good as they are…

Y’all really wanna see 1025/1050 Laura and Kolin?

Kolin could ligit pop her VT twice a round if that was the case.

Juri is korean.

Capcom are haters.

We had 4 years of 1000/1000 Laura and Kolin 1025/1050 would been keeping them where they were to begin with. They were average health characters and now they aren’t. They made G of all people 1025/1050…

That’s why I say universal buffs is a lazy and bad way of balancing.

Some characters really did not deserve hp and stun buffs.

I don’t mind universal buffs, when they are actually universal.

Let’s be real here.

25 HP. In the grand scheme of things, what the fuck does that accomplish?

Ain’t nobody going to say “Oh man, my main is an absolute unit of a tank now. I’mma just dash at round start and even if I get hit, it doesn’t matter.”

Just makes for more magic pixels at best.

I’ve seen many survive what would had killed them in the past.

Yet they didn’t give the 25HP buff to everyone…

Thing is.

25 extra hp won’t be helping you in let’s say the G matchup where you lose 45% of your hp by not blocking low once vs a unreactable full screen low dash.

Fuck that character and his electors.

I also think the 25 HP doesn’t mean much but…

You are forgetting guts. Because of Guts each HP equals more than one HP.

You’re absolutely correct. I always forget guts.
