Anyone wanna run a set?
I stand by what I said before. The fastest jab in this game should be 4 frames.
why?
if you have a move thats 5 frames and +2 on block, what is a 3 frame jab going to do other than get counter hit?
medium medium is a very basic frame trap that a lot of characters have that can deal with jab mashers
Sounds like you’re running into what is currently my only real problem with the game. At a slight distance, most normals feel shorter than they look, plus you have the father normals that CC, so this game kind of wants you to get in. Up close, jabs become strong because the nature of normals in this game lends itself VERY well to frame traps. So two people that are close together just end up trying to jab or short each other most of the time.
This leads me to believe that this SF more than any other is going to be reliant on frame data knowledge. Now whether that’s good or bad is up to opinion but it is taking some getting used to.

That’s similar to SF4…except in SF4, the higher ranked person loses points while the other doesn’t.
At least this system is equal.
Holy shit, I actually took two games off a Chun with Laura in a first to 3… Then I lost…, and then I got 3-0’d the next set. What a fucking lopsided matchup. You can just st hp with Chun vs Laura and she can’t do shit.
Sweeps beat st. HP guaranteed (they low profile it). Now to do that you have to YOLO a sweep at a range you can’t hit her so yeah …
Mr. WIZARD just hinted SFV registrants are already over 3k.
Final Round is mum, but dudes already complaining that both hotels are sold out lol.
I think all the esports minded people who got into sf4 late think because the game is new, that now is their chance to win and get famous. So, high entrant numbers don’t surprise me.
When they find out you can’t keep playing after your Rage Quit in IRL…holy hell, it’s going to crush them.
Priority system makes mashing lights a little riskier than in SF4. Also, the payoff for mashing jabs is no where near as good.
Still good for abusing natural reactions and setting up tick throws.
Interesting theory, but I’d disagree, I mean, maybe there’s a FEW who have that train of thought going in, but I doubt that’s the sole reason. lmao
Thats how the Wolfkrone vs Fchamp MM got started for Final Round. Champ told him to not rage quit irl and Wolf said put $500 on it at final round… done deal.
I can’t wait for that Champ vs BlueRiver MM marvel either, the shit talkin has been real.
Fighting games getting juicy this weekend. Should be a good watch these first set of majors
The online experience is looking like girl fighter V to me. I’m seeing loads of cammys, lauras and karins. Chun not so much. After that it’s probably a tie between ken and nash. Vega I hardly ever see, and zangief…i’ve only fought against 4 
… I laughed.
It’s Ryu and Ken fighter for me, fought about 20 of them today and like 3-4 other characters. And they all DP on wakeup even though I punish them each time.
I see mostly Karin (probably the most popular character behind Ryu and Ken in my experience), Laura, Ryu, and Ken. I thought I’d see a lot more Nash and Mika, but to be honest I’ve not seen so many
