Yeah I think that range where only the first hit would hit is the range where sweep would be good any way. You have to be a pretty good distance away from my training mode testing for only one hit of rising to hit. Can just use sweep at anything where you might second guess rising and keep rising for the closer jumps.
LOL. I guess that means you’re best off just sticking with Menat since she probably gets the most reward of anyone other than Sim or Guile for just being passive and checking the screen with stuff. Those are about the only 3 characters you can get away not performing traditional shimmy/SFV offense and get work done.

As for the JLF thing, I’ve been using square gate JFL sanwa since like 2005. Basically half my life. Works for me. Only thing I used before that were Sega Saturn pads and US bat top sticks. If you’re going through multiple JLFs you are definitely riding the gates way too hard. You want to treat the JLF more like a really sensitive mouse and not exert force on the corners unless you absolutely have to. Will keep you more precise while putting less wear on the stick.

Problem there is that I should still learn to play offense to some degree. There will be situations even with Menat where I can’t just stay in neutral pressing buttons.
If I don’t step out of my comfort zone for once I won’t grow as much. And right now I still consider Ed more of a main than Menat. I just need to train myself to not always go for safe strings (ie the st.mp and x4 while staying at a distance) and mix things up more, not be afraid to possibly make a wrong guess on the opponent’s response to a situation.
It’s fine to not trust that this place will be here anymore, but at least we know now that it was just people being complacent about a forum software that was costing too much money as the reason. It wasn’t just purely malicious intent or indifference to the people who still use the forum. They got off their ass and found something that is much cheaper to host. People proved to them that there was definitely a way to find something way less expensive if money was the problem and so we’re good there.
This is not a place where we’ve ever had real communication. If you’re just being cynical now you’ve waited far too long. You’re talking about a website that since before SFV launched and most of you guys were posting here, the main SRK staff pretty much types 99 percent of their messages outside of SRK on twitter and social media. Social media is essentially the new outreach and home for what people see. SRK is really Evo to the outside world. People don’t see SRK, they see Evo.
If the big populace only sees Evo/Joey’s Twitter, that’s fine. SRK has always been Evo and the Evo branding is what makes them money. The forum is just a long lost hideout of outsiders that still prefer to post more than 260 characters when they can and not have conversations and topics @'d and bumped all day long against each other. Not to mention get away from the chat style constant scrolling of messages during live discussion that Discord and Facebook messaging is known for.

The reason why I stay here and why you can’t replace SRK1 is that SRK is where you started, where everyone else here started. New randoms aren’t just going to tumble into SRK2 or Discord. Without an invite from someone already there nobody new is going to show up. Your pookies, your twins, your beas and anyone that just shows up here, you need an SRK1 for that and that’s why I’m sticking with SRK till the end. Plus all of the archived posts that make SRK the history book it is.

You don’t even have to reload, it updates on the fly if you keep the window open, unless you maybe have some browser settings turned off. You will just see new posts and can scroll down.

We got (tiny) gif avatars back. A little bit of old school back in there.

Looks like animated avatars have been implemented and people want to make them bigger. The 12 year olds have won. 
This is…kind of bad?

According to sources Marvel is 4th most entered game at Final Round so far. Even without that, Marvel always lives. Remember that.
SRK Lives
Daigo said that he prepared for #kemonomichi by training young Akuma players (Otani and Rinta), and taught everything about the match up to them.
Then he played nothing but vs Akuma since around the start of March, knowing that he might not be ready for Final Round.
That’s the most anime ass training I’ve ever heard of. These guys train harder vs each other than they do vs a potential 2200 other people at Evo. Money can’t do that.
@Neclord a guy from the discourse staff answered your question a while ago.

I feel you should poke with your normals more? Not just qcf+P for ranged attacks.
When poking, don’t just st HP (even if it very satisfying to land one) but mix in stand MP too. Use st LP to feint and if your opponent jumps, antiair with cr HP / st HK / EX DP depending on the range and how much reaction time you have.
TL;DR: Mix up zoning with normals and zoning with orb send / recall specials to make your Menat harder to figure out.
I’m planning to post everywhere. Not like any of the sign ups cost money. Just may repeat myself a bit.
Speaking of that, I think this is the only place I didn’t mention it: I’m officially going to EVO as of Friday. Funny that this place is the one place I forgot to post it. Should be fun times. Hopefully we can throw together an SRK meet up if enough folks are interested.

From what I am seeing, EVO is early August…
If there ought to be a few SRK people there, I will be tempted to try to make it work, even if only to just visit Vegas and EVO rather than playing.
And to take care of other business as well. Something to consider.
That is pretty much how I worked this out (visiting Vegas that is). My sister in law has never been to Vegas and my wife wanted to get her out there so we were able to finagle the dates to line up. So I get to go off and nerd out while they Vegas it up.
Biggest downside is that July/August is a miserable time to go to Vegas. At least the plan is to spend most of the time indoors.
