I wish I knew someone personally that was good at SF. I fucking hate playing online and I hate that I can only play offline with decent comp once a week and one saturday out of the month. Shit fucking blows.
Reason I hate playing online is cause niggas be doin that faggy shit. I’m not talking about shit that I can’t beat. No, I’m talking about things that aren’t viable strategies against someone who played the game for at least 12 hours total. Such as jump back at the start of the round with no intention of engaging the opponent in CQC. I play Vega you retarded little shit, I’ll have you cornered before you can fucking blink? Not only do I have the fastest walk speed, you helped yourself into the corner. Fuckin dumbass. Or motherfuckers that spam low jabs and low shorts in one spot. I know how hitboxes work you’re not going to stop me from getting in. Fucking Gold Rashid’s that still think eagle spike is safe on block. Fucking Cammy’s that think spiral arrow into cannon spike is a legitimate block string. Ryu and Ken players that wakeup DP no matter HOW MANY TIMES you CRUSH COUNTER that shit. Zangief players that think they can get away with whiffing standing fierce and lariats in neutral. Karin players that spam ressenha from full screen.
Fuck all that shit.
I wish I could just call somebody up and be like:
“ayo you tryna get this work in a first to 15?”
“Hell yeah; got blunts?”
“Got weed?”
“Yeah”
“I’ll be there in 10 minutes”
But nope; nobody plays Street Fighter where I live. I wouldn’t even care if they didn’t smoke. I would settle for 1 outta 2 if I could just have someone local that was good to play with.
Street Fighter 5 is an incomplete game, true. However, Street Fighter 5 is not an incomplete fighter. The core engine works, and works better than anything NRS can ever hope to create.
Idk how to feel about Injustice2. Whelp i’ll keep track of it at the very least. Sounds like something I could dedicate alot of time to before I start mastering it for real. That’s assuming I actually like it.
I had the same thought process for MKX. I really disliked the wake-up game for it (especially if my nigga is Sun God Kotal). That, and the run system wasn’t something I liked using. It’s not a bad game by any means I just couldn’t get into it.
On the flip side TR is how I got into Tekken and this sounds just like it. However, TR was FREE and not a super competitive game. It was perfect for picking up super casually and learning the findamentals. The whole battle suit thing reminds me of TR (where it’s optional online except in ranked) and Soul Calibur (Optional mode online which I like).
@“Spinning Beat” if I ever get back onto SF5 I’d play you online. I know you said you are local to Xanadu so we’re not far away so online shouldn’t be bad, and I promise I’m not a scrub who jumps back all match. Vega was one of those players I never really faced so when I faced one who was competent I’d get raped because I had no clue how to play the matchup. I could use the experience.
They need to have a gearless mode. This shit would go down like SFxT at tournaments if it doesn’t. Well not exactly because SFxT had alot of shit working against it, but it’ll still do pretty badly.
