The Street Fighter V Lounge - Balrog Mains on Suicide Watch

Neutral jumping beats almost everything apparently. Lol

Someone play me please. Need to work on my Karin.

WHen the connection is great rollback is perfectly fine but it is a nightmare if there is any issues in the connection. I had one where on my screen it showed Chun jumped only to have it teleport her back to the ground with a kikkoken shooting from her hands. Or a Karin where a simple shimmy turns into mini v-trigger bison dashes.

so many damn rage quits usually I would find it amusing but it happens so much in this game.

Tonight has been such a huge lagfest swarming with Bisons for me tonight. This isn’t enjoyable at all.

Shoulda just quit since there’s no penalty lol. Now you’re gonna have to hold that L for life. This game is still as shitastic online.

I dont care that much. Sure he got some points or whatever but I win way more than I lose. I’ll still hit gold today or tomorrow depending on how much I play. Luckily Japan and China don’t rage quit hardly ever. I beat the #1 Nash and he took that L like a G. I do the same regardless.

Also worth noting is that you can’t back techroll command grabs (SPD, Brimstone, etc.) or hitgrabs (Tragedy Assault).

He probably saved the replay, uploaded to YouTube, posted in his private Facebook Group, recorded on his phone and sent to his friends on WhatsApp, showed his mom. You’re fucked.

Also, dunno if this has already been posted:

Who’s the easiest to play on controller? I’m not saying anyone’s particularly difficult, but I’d like to know who to play when I don’t wanna wake anyone.

If there’s anyone here that’s intermediate and willing to have a few matches with a scrubby ryu tomorrow, or most days around 8pm(est), i’d be down. My reaction times are absolutely awful and I’m on the worst losing streak of my life. I need to improve ASAP.

Don’t feel bad, I’ve just lost 10 in a row…sometimes it’s just not your day

I think I’ve played at least one person from every country with all these damn flags I keep seeing online. Lol

No, no, I mean like out of the last 100 matches i’ve lost about 75. Like it’s BAD. Never thought it would be this hard to re-adapt to the genre.

Tonight, when I fall asleep and have my customary nightmares of being chased through the wilderness by my father’s disappointments made manifest, they’re going to be wearing Ryu’s headband. And they’re going to dash up throw me. Again. And again.

I’m so terrible. Also that dash is pretty good.

If you didn’t practice in a way that built fundamentals and the mentality to beat people with them, this game hands you your ass, because it’s mostly about them.

if you want to be a guess monster just play Laura.

Just lost to a Zangief who didn’t jump once the entire match and remembered I’m terrible at this genre and I’ve wasted my life. I have a lot of time to reflect on that when it takes 5-10 minutes to find a match too.

[edit] just lost to a laughably bad Nash who lost every time he tried to anything other than sonic boom, or random guess special, but was able to fall back on sonic boom and random guess special. I’m not exaggerating in the slightest when I say I can win against legitimately decent players, but will lose every time to textbook scrubby shoto play.

Is this what online players use in their xpadder configuration?

I just 10-0’d a Necalli with Karin and he says

OP Char
Endless Frame Traps
Great Pokes
Good Damage
Almost everything is safe

I’m sure he was talking about Necalli and not Karin right…
