The Street Fighter V Lounge - Balrog Mains on Suicide Watch

[Citrus_monkey]

Seems like the good players are adjusting quite well and the bad players are where they were before, so I dunno.

that doesn’t really mean anything. Graham Wolfe was one of the best ST players ever and he appears to be only okay at 5. I have a friend who is top 5 in the US at 3s who sucks ass at SF5. none of these good players could beat either of them at their own games. but only so much transfers over.

based on what Dime_x told us he’s likely at least competent in several other SF games. it’s just that the game works different from those games and he’s trying too much to take habits from those games and bring them over. just gotta discard your expectations/assumptions and play the game for what it is. or don’t play it, either of those are fine!

I was actually decent at 3S. Im TRASH at this game. I can’t AA anything to save my life LOL.

I need alex so bad

[Heat_Sleep]

Sorry I’d this has been answered already but can you invite your friends into your own lobby? I tried to do that but apparently my buddy couldn’t join (said my profile didn’t exist).

Not sure if it’s at Capcom’s end or mine.

[metric]

Is battle lounge still fucked up? Whenever I make, nobody joins and I get disconnected. The other day I tried to play a friend and we’d get auto disconnected whenever we joined each others game. Sigh.

[NupoChromine]

I didn’t think it would happen but it did. Survival for colors actually made me not want to play the game until March.

Yo, how is mika’s sweep throw invincible?

Better question WHY is it throw invincible…

Sweep throw? I don’t have sf5 BTW.

If you play Chun Li you won’t have any problems. If you’re having problems it’s because you’re playing other characters.

From spooky’s stream:

Combofiend: there’s not going to be a training stage in SFV

(spooky sees the training stage)

Spooky: what’s this, then?

Combofiend: that’s not the training stage, that’s the grid

Spooky: (come on bro, are you serious?)

[DevilJin_01]

Yeah I saw that conversation on stream. They really need to do something about this grid shit. Don’t think it’s good for eSports. FPS and MOBAs dont have no damn grid. They have stages/backgrounds that fit the theme of the game.

Even like SFxT where the training stage had a legit theme/design wouldn’t have been so bad. The Grid looks like something a PS2 could run.

[FengShuiEnergy]

People are still picking the the grid?

[Hawkingbird]

Grid been dominating Winter Brawl. That stage puts me to sleep.

[Veserius]

people like picking stages that have the minimal amount of lag.

if capcom could actually make sure that their game would run their stages correctly people wouldn’t default to a few stages.

[Highlandfireball]

Riddle me this, Combofiend - WHY THE DID CAPCOM NOT FIX THIS EARLIER!?

They had EIGHT! EIGHT MONTHS worth of 4.5 Betas and several Stress Tests to figure out something as simple as “Did the player quit? YES -> give him a Loss”

Probably because there are about a million other things they’re trying to implement in this game, too? All while organizing the biggest worldwide fighting game league ever (and implementing it in game)…also while implementing a brand new marketing system that allows people to earn future content in game…all while trying to create their own rollback netcode infrastructure and CFN functionality.

There’s a LOT of new ground they’re trying to cover with this game in one shot. It’s very ambitious, and it could have definitely benefitted from more time. But, they didn’t have more time. First CPT event is already going on.

I’ll assure you, though, “laziness” isn’t the reason for any issues we’re having now. I hope Ono doesn’t have to collapse again to prove that to you.

99.8% of the fan base and money source doesn’t give a flying fuck about the Capcom Pro tour.

" hey mate, that car you sold me, it’s not got any wheels and won’t start, must be a dud eh can I get a refund , I can’t get to work!"

“Nah man, Fernando Alonso is racing in this very car in Monico in a few months, you’ll get your tyres and spark plug after he’s done”

"If you drive it a thousand times to the shops we can give you a new colour though!

Other stages don’t have lag…

I think they still would default to it cuz you gotta count boxes, but you have a point.

What are the current offenders? For me the India stage lags…offline, City stage not much better.

Which stages have lag in this game? I’m hearing all sort of things about it but nothing been confirmed as far as I know.

[DevilJin_01]

BTW is @ilitirit still alive?

[Highlandfireball]

BTW is @ilitirit still alive?

I was thinking that, maybe bailed if he didn’t like it. Prob can’t even play it, he had drama in the betas. There’s tons of people out there in the SF5 matrix.

dhalsim players acting like enlightened sages that understand street fighter better than everyone else is gonna get old pretty fast lel
