The Street Fighter V Lounge - Balrog Mains on Suicide Watch

[awkwardscrub]

Oh god. Please let that list saying birdie is easy become a common belief. He’s so hard to play well on defense. Ranked filled with crazy impatient Birdies would be hilarious.

Guys, I’ve been unable to connect with my friend since the game’s launch. He’s having trouble connecting to some others as well, but can connect with others just fine. This is really frustrating for us because this has been a long time rival of mine. We’ve been playing since for nearly 10 years now.

Is anyone else having this problem or know of someone who is? Is there any hope that this is a Capcom issue that can be fixed later, or is my friend’s internet just ass?

Whats going on? Is neither one of you able to connect to the lounge or add each other to your favorites list? I have one friend that no matter what, I can’t create a battle lounge with him able to join, he always has to create it. But I assume you guys already explored this avenue.

I’ve tried joining his lobby and he’s tried joining mine dozens of times. It never works.

If Birdie isn’t the easiest character to pick up and play, who do you think is?

[ReoGeoSRK]

What’s your fighter ID feng.

[DevilJin_01]

arent you the guy who wasn’t buying the game until june?
thanks for the giant jpeg of your stick.

In South Central there’s no reason to believe anyone who acts like they don’t need V. It’s dat crack.

We go any lengths for dem copies cuz there’s no guarantee we’ll get SF6 if we don’t start hitting it now.

I feel like maybe Laura is? Her stuff doesn’t require much execution and while you won’t necessarily get far if you just do her shenanigans it does seem to be quite an easy way in in comparison to some other characters

Laura is hard as fuck to play imo. She’s easy to pick up and lose with and sit in bronze league. The reads and calculated risks required to play her well to win consistently are going to beyond 99% of people that play Laura though.

It’s a bit like saying “Mika is scrubby, all you have to do is take them to the corner and do mixups!”

This is true, but I feel like there aren’t many characters who will avoid the wall at super and ultra bronze as a new player. I guess I interpret it as “which character is easiest to do moves and mostly optimal combos with”, because anything beyond that is very hard with the way sf5 works!

[Veserius]

The kens mostly dried up when i got out of bronze, lot of birdies/karins in ultra silver/gold

I play Birdie aggressively and it works out. As long as you don’t YOLO his specials it’s perfectly viable.

[risemix]

The ken’s mostly dried up when i got out of bronze, lot of birdies/karins in ultra silver/gold

my experience as well, after bronze the karin army came out in full force

some birdie too, unfortunately for me. i have no idea what to do against that character lmao

Well hell everyone is easy to do moves and mostly optimal combos with really. I guess some people might have to practice Karin’s combos on day 1 with her but that’s about it.

Yeah and that’s kind of a bummer. I don’t mind the easier approach to execution in the game but I wish they’d have included at least one character that was more demanding (Viper from vanilla sf4 filled that niche, I’d love for SF5 to have something like that).

I doubt many people on the planet consistently have down all of Chun Li’s shit.

Dhalsim requires a lot of stick movement and regularlyTKing an HCB motion.

Sim is an execution heavy character. Getting his movement down is difficult and has quite a few instant air moves.

Yes, we are well aware of the problem of players disconnecting before the match ends to retain their League Points and their win streaks. Thanks to all of the players who have brought this to our attention.

We are working on a permanent solution to this problem, though we don’t have an exact date to share with you at the moment. That said, we are going to take direct action starting next week to punish those players who are abusing the system.

This punishment will be severe for the worst offenders, but we will need the community’s help with this. We will follow up with more details next week, but over the weekend, please record every instance of rage quitting you encounter. The best way to do this is to use the SHARE function on the PlayStation 4 after the match has concluded, though any video evidence will suffice (Twitch archives, local recordings etc.).

Really, Capcom? YOU need HELP to track down ragequitters in YOUR own game!?

Did they fire every single competent person or what?

The videos are a temporary solution while the cook up a permanant one. This is a “hey even though we don’t have something in place send us your videos and we’ll punish fools”.
