The SSJ5 General Thread: E3 happening but Ono doesn't Spirit Bomb

[Cipher]

Fun Fact: In the firefighter costume, Alex’s Flash Chop animation is replaced with him swinging the axe on his back. If he finishes off the opponent with a chop, the axe gets embedded into the opponent’s clavicle; blood that looks super realistic will spurt out all over Alex as he realizes his insatiable thirst for murder.

Yeah Alex is the best Mortal Kombat Char…
Wait a minute get that shit out of here!
Alex isn’t allowed to use an Axe, thats reserved for Noembelu!

It’d actually be really cool if some costumes replaced how an animations look (but kept the same frame data and whatnot)

That would be very trippy and confusing for the other guy. Not a big fan of this to be honest.

No a year ago defensive options weren’t too strong. All the top players were saying the game was very rushdown heavy.

It was random people on SRK who were saying that.

Damned random SRK people.

I was wondering why people were complaining so hard about meterless DPs back then

The Street Fighter V Lounge - Smashas in the Club Doing Aegis Reflector

How to beat a meterless DP…block. I mean seriously this isn’t SF4 where DPs were safe on block and the only way to punish them is to make them whiff. It’s a huge risk to DP in this game so make someone pay for that risk. There is not a single DP in the game that beats blocking.

My position has been completely consistent on this. I’ve said multiple times in S1 that offense was good in this game and yet Capcom made it stronger in S2 and is now making it even stronger in S2.5 with the removal of Jump/OS

The worst parts of Mika’s s.HK/charged HK are V Reversable any ways and like Froztey said, there are also options that low profile it. It’s not really high reward anymore with all of the current defensive options against it.

If getting V-Reversaled for a meterless move that combos on hit, CCs on counter hit, and puts you into a mix up situation on block is the worst of your problems, that’s not a horrible problem to have. As for the low profile, those are exceptions not the rule.

And I’ll say it again, it’s not that any one move is a problem. It’s the fact that there are a shit ton of these moves in the game along with stupid CC normals, high damage V-Triggers, and close to no defensive options that’s the problem.

The game is a mess on a mechanical level. And top players have been saying it all over the place.

I think the defensive options are fine for this game.

If you main a character that has a defensive option then of course the defense in this game is fine.

Capcom must really want sf5 to be really explosive

All of this in addition to your avatar, nephew?

[Neclord]

These costumes suck.

[NupoChromine]

You’re part of the problem.

[amrraed]

These costumes suck.

No… Don’t say that. Don’t break my heart soul mate.

Chun as a hot business woman. That is extremely awesome.

Also finally a truly different R.Mika outfit, something without her ass and boobs hanging around, that is great. We need more diversity like this.

Now I just need my skin tight leather suit Chun.

You’re part of the problem.

If i can’t win then i at least have to look good while losing.

You don’t want skin tight leather suit FANG, do you?

If you main a character that has a defensive option then of course the defense in this game is fine.

Laura and Rog are 2 of the best characters with no attack invincible reversal. Urien only has 4 frame lights and a reversal so slow that meaty lights recover before it hits. Things are fine for them defensively. Laura and Rog were characters that in Season 1 people downplayed becuase they had to hold shit once people got near them other than 3 frame mashing.

There are just other defensively weak characters with lacking tools. I always said the chatacters with little reversal options should have strong tools to compensate and they at least got that right for some characters.

Except Vega. He will still be really bad with no attack or throw invincibility on anything.

If chatacters with limited reversal options are high tier, then defense is workable.

[ribu]

So, like, we can get some costumes for F.A.N.G?

Jesus, Capcom. Throw us some love.

Honestly,
FANG sort of got the perfect outfit as far a defaults go lol…
If he gets any they will probably always be Kung-Fu based.
And because of how fucked up his actual mode is they have to hide the top of his head and his hands lol…

[Jocelot]

I hope we get police officer, Native American Chief and construction worker skins to go with Alex. Just call it the Village People pack.

In the Navy will save the FGC.

Mannn fighting geif without jump back os is gonna be a difficult that 1 knock down could lead to death

So say near end round you got dude read like a fucking book right, blocking and waiting for that throw you know is coming and

BOOM YOU GOT HIM

too bad claw broke off from all the blocking(this has happened to me more than once)
