The SFV Lounge: SRK is ALIVE. AE Hype is BACK! DISCORD going the way of DISCO

Netcode is probably my biggest issue with the entire game experience. I prefer the slow down of SF4 netcode to the desync issues of SF5. At least on a very slow connection you can KIND OF react to stuff and sort of get a feel for the lag to adjust your combo timing. You just can’t handle a guy who is half way across the screen then crossing you up then you land a hit confirm and prepare to cancel but oh wait you’re being thrown.

I like how his solution is to stop playing Ken. Let’s all ask Fang how that’s working out for him. Mental disorders? Over a dropped fucking combo in a video game?

Word?

It’s so much dumb shit to unpack in those videos man. Y’all need to come get y’all boy

Well based on how badly Chun’s usage dipped from Season 1 to Season 2, if Chris T is successful Ken will get a bunch of costumes and no buffs :lol:

FANG needs a plush alt

Everyone needs a plush alt :blush:

TBH if your character isn’t good, dropping them is the best way to react to it.

Ves: Blanka main since 1992

I don’t always practice what I preach, but I dropped Vega for being bad.

vega bad

dont let vega hurt you anymore the few are left, its ok to leave him!!!

Vega, Graham Wolfe.

Both retired.

I dropped Hugo in SFxT after they nerfed him too, and replaced him with top tier Nina. Don’t fuck with bad characters.

I don’t think I’ve dropped anyone ever. I’ve ran characters in tandem, but never fully dropped them.

i dropped Rolento in the first console version of ultra street fighter 4. It hurts, but fuck using bad characters.

I dropped Venom in Xrd cause Raven is easier and better.

My original MVC2 team had Iceman on it, boy got upgraded to Sentinel.

Playing good characters is just more fun.

What do you mean with bad characters? Just everyone that isn’t top tier or just the absolute worst like Ryu?

I dropped SFV because of Ken being bad.

Now I’m dropping MvCI to come back to SFV because bad character in living game > any character in ded game

There are different levels I’ll tolerate game to game, but if someone isn’t top 1/3rd of the cast my interest level is pretty low at this point.

So…

Who wants to be my valentine? :bee:

I think the big difference with 5 is at least characters like Gouken in 4 had their own style and we’re fun to play. You weren’t playing a shit version of Akuma, it was a completely different experience.

Same with T Hawk or even Blanka. Juri was completely different as was Hakan.

Now everyone’s just got different power levels of the same shit.

Nah, gotta keep that character loyalty. But keep your character roster smallish.
