The Street Fighter V Lounge - Balrog Mains on Suicide Watch

Don’t even try to DP it unless you’re already buffering the motion, it’s too fast. He actually does grab you before he gets to you, it’s got a hitbox like Hugo’s meatsquasher where it just grabs you as soon as he’s near you. You’d think it only starts when he lands, but it’s actually active in the air. That’s why it looks like you should be able to react in time but it’s way harder.

By the time he actually lands, the move isn’t even active.

A Laura winning a tourney would be perfect.

Mister Crimson putting on a show.

EDIT: Dat combo he just did to Ryan Hart.

Ranked is dead cause of assholes. It’s taking me 3-5 mins to find out.

Who wrote the frame data that’s on Google docs? It’s missing all of Laura’s lvl2 thunderclap charges.

Jesus, Bison is such a fucking savage in this game

Yeah but Laura is unviable.

You know, I want to be happy that a Laura won, but he got EX bolt blocked THREE TIMES by Phenom and didn’t get punished for shit. It’s -11 guys.

Oh well, good performance from Crimson anyway

The game hasn’t even been out for a month. I expect you’ll see many similar “rookie mistakes” during Winter Brawl tonight.

Studying how to fight Vega using the Vframes app and I’m seeing they only have one set of frame data for his moves. Is his frame data the same regardless of which stance he’s in?

That were godlike reads and composure by Mr.Crimson.

I found it strange how little Master used her bolt. He rarely used it in neutral and I’m sure it’ll be a big part of it later on. It’s a stationary projectile so its much harder to absorb or punish than other standard moving fireballs.

Well at least this proves that for anyone who said this game was slow or defensive, you’re DEAD wrong.

The anthem of the day:

Gimmicky grab characters ruining the fun for the REAL top tiers.

Welp…time to unlock Lauras black gi and get to work :^)

Laura is for frauds who couldn’t play Makoto. You need a slow fireball to make up for lack of footsies.

Broken op character.

Bolt charge is the elbow, the projectile is thunderclap. (Yes, this is a source of confusion in the Laura forums as well)

Honestly her projectile isn’t too good against Bison since it’s slow and he has a lot of tools to get around it. The EX version is +3 on guard though which is why you saw him use that occasionally.

i still think laura is garbage, she gets away with so much

plus if you watch carefully, phenom kept knocking laura down with a throw or whatever and then dashing forward. bison is negative in this situation and he kept trying to hit buttons, crimson just woke up with her own normals and converted into a full combo.

don’t you just love that new game smell

But…but… LAURA AND KEN ARE BOTTOM TIER! Right, guys!?

Was Mr. Crimson a SF player at all before SFV or did he just play Xrd?

Good shit, nice to see new blood winning the first major SFV tourney.
