The Street Fighter V Lounge - Balrog Mains on Suicide Watch

Server maintenance incoming

I only have footage of a couple of people ragequitting on me for that thread; let me elaborate a bit; In this isolated example bisons using SK, let’s say HK version which has the best advantage, I believe -2 or -3. Regardless, his fastest poke is 4 frames to startup to that’s 6 frames in between, so even though I don’t know the frames for either of his MP buttons, why am I getting counterhit off of that? So if I were using something like c.mk to punish it, I should be the one getting counterhit, no? So that’s what messing me up. To me the math says that any SK shouldn’t be able to frame trap after unless against fang or birdie situationally, yet I’m still getting counterhit. Apply this scenario to most other frame traps out there, I’m not understanding them in this game.

Kinda sucks getting home to server maintenance (which I can understand). The annoying part is that I feel like I shouldn’t do any of the single player stuff like survival because I’m not connected online and am not earning FM and other stuff.

It’s a timing issue, your poke could be out of range. Actually wouldn’t he be at a -7 disadvantage if he wanted to press a button after blocked :h: SK because cr.lp is 4f startup and don’t you also have to go through -2, -1, 0, 1,2,3,4 to be able to start pressing advantage again?

Hugo is numbah wan! You shut your food slit!

Random question. I went through Survival and died at a pretty high level because I was being super stingy and never buying any supplements because I didn’t want to lose points (for whatever reason). Is there an actual benefit to having a high score? Or should I use my supplements liberally to make it easier? I’m really only doing it for the colors I guess. Is there an online leaderboard or something for it? I don’t even know.

High score is just for bragging rights since the leaderboards aren’t even active. Use supplements at will if you don’t care about that

Your spacing is wrong.
Your timing is wrong (button press).
The framedata is wrong.

One or multiple of these is true.

The points are there to be used. They even tell you that in the hints thing. Rack up enough points with the double down ones early on, then burn your points on anything else you might need. Trust me you’ll need it.

This is a little OT but whatever. I only got a PS4 for SFV, but a 20% off a purchase on PSN code came with the system. It expires the 29th and I have no plans to use it. Whoever quotes this post will get the code through PM if they want it.

Done.

Yep, you’re either not timing your button on the buffer frames before you recover from the SK or Bison spaces it well so that your attack whiffs and he gets a cr. MP on you. Possibly a combination of the two in a string of SK’s.

I went into training mode to specifically practice flipping pressure back onto Bison/punishing him after a SK. It’s worth doing since it’s one of the only exit points in his pressure game.

So I’ve been playing Digimon Story while waiting for the server to be fixed. Game is amazing, I highly recommend it.

Also, what did I miss?

Chun Fighter 5 Discussion

Let’s see…me being bad with numbers, citrus on a losing streak (and getting owned by Bison SK’s), Rashid and Gief being awesome, waiting on maintenance window to be done, you know the usual.

Does it not get awarded later???

I did Ryu and Necalli on normal (30) stages last night when i couldnt connect.

Do i have to do it over to get FM?

Man what’s the range on Laura’s command grab? It feels like if someone moves an inch back it whiffs completely… should practice this.

Pretty much all of her specials with the exception of her shoulder follow up to QCF+K are unsafe on block, you can punish those easily (even her rekka follow ups, IIRC), so yeah if you encounter one of those Karin players that like to do Rassenha from midscreen to hit your just punish them.

Not sure about her EX moves but I wouldn’t be surprised if her EX shoulder is her only other safe special as well.

server down again?

Just needs Yun to come in as DLC with Genei-Jin V-Trigger. :coffee:

Ive had this game since launch and have only been able to get four casual matches in lol. Ugh
