Actually, it doesn’t; Blanka’s hang-time is so short that by time the Hurricane Kick enters its active frames, Blanka has already landed. If anything, j. rh. is not a bad counter, especially on Ryu’s wakeup.

Neutral j. fierce is better anyway. That move beats out anything, even Chun Li’s j. short.

Oh so that’s how it works? Wack.

I actually miss them the most when calling assists tho.

I’d say “happy birthday!” but you don’t seem too happy about it.

Order some japanese food, play some good games (Read: not SFV Ranked) and get well soon!

I was playing SFV ranked, but got completely pissed at it and stopped. I will play casuals with Mika later.
There is a Sim player that always show at ranked. I can’t beat him. The MU is awful for Falke.
So today I shut my brain off, played like a retard going full offence and beat him 2-0 without losing a round.

This is fucking wrong. Playing like a retard shouldn’t award you easy victories.

But thats what SFV was designed for?

This game’s entire meta is around bypassing neutral as much as possible with a random bullshit move into trigger into gg.

It’s no surprise it rewards playing like a “retard”.

Thats why we need Neutral to reclaim the throne of FG.
The Bullshit can come after Neutral is over and one opponent is laying on his ass, wondering what choices he did wrong in his life.

Anime fighting game neutral though…

Isn’t Granblue a direct attempt to avert this trope tho?

You say it like if that is a bad thing, lol.
Neutral is more than just wiggling your stick left and right.

Well.
Consider that perhaps, going for the offense in that matchup and what you did during the match wasnt really playing like a retard.

You cant expect to play every matchup the same way with your char.
Also, exploting the weakness of your opponent is part of the game.

None of what I have done was thought out.

Yes and no.
It is a more gounded game.
But you still have more options to play in your neutral game than just wiggling the stick and wiffing normals.

Chars like Metera and Ferry that have more aerial options to apporach in the neutral beyond the ground spacing game.
