Thats how bullshit works. People love doing bullshit but no one can take it. Capcom figured that out. Until people learn to accept each others bullshit you get straightforward game.
No one is saying base SFIV is better than SFV, the point I’m atleast making is that SFV cannot afford the same grace period to get to Super’s status(if Capcom will even bother going that far for SFV to begin with). This isn’t when almost every other Fighting Game never bothered to step up or during the “Dark Age”.
There is no more Dark Age anymore and there won’t be unless every other Fighting Game Company stops giving a fuck again.
I just realized ibuki is the 3rd dlc character that has no cancelable lows. At least it looks like she can contest with cr.mp against other characters cr.mk. That shit hurts Alex’s mid range game so bad.
That’s why I hate the ken matchup. No matter how many times I hit him with a crouch mp or mk, one well place st.hk evens out the damage and he gets pressure against my zero defense options.
It’s true from original SF2 to USFIV but I have not seriously met anyone in real life or on the internet that has said Elena’s gameplay and especially Healing in USFIV feels enjoyable.
I don’t understand your reasoning after beating this person whatsoever. Just because he was platinum doesn’t mean he was playing the game correctly at all haha (people being bad online has always been the norm). In fact, if he lost to a random who’s picked up a character for 2 days, I would be willing to bet that he’s not very good. You say they took everything that we considered bad habits and made them good, but again from your post I just don’t see that: You say the Larua mashed constantly… and then you beat him. That just sounds like a bad player losing to me. And I think we all have different conceptions of street fighter just as we have different concepts of what “good” SF is. Clearly you think this button mashing Laura who you beat with a 2 day Chun is playing good street fighter in the context of SFV, I’m going to have to disagree though. Look, we’re all free to our opinion on the game, but please don’t judge legitimacy in any fighting game ever by your online experience.
And also, if you really hate the game as much as you say, aren’t you just pouring salt in your own wound?
Edit: Pretty amazing how many people can’t get enough of things they hate.
Edit: Also SFV has terrible netcode, it takes less skill to be highly ranked than ever…
Tbh I’m also surprised no one has commented on Injustice 2’s loot drops. Already sounds like SFxT’s Gem system. Awaiting announcement that loot drops are easier to acquire via micro-transactions.
And like Boon has stated “we are interested in pushing the genre forward”
The current best player in the world (Infil) is literally constantly pressing SOMETHING, even if it’s just a jab or a fireball. While I don’t completely agree with him, he does make some points that ring true.
Before polish the gameplay Capcom needs to work on a lot of other incomplete things. SF4 looks ‘deep’ because of the autopilot shit he had,but even there the system doesn’t reward all the characters in the same way. We wanna talk about how FADC was useless for some characters? Invincible backdash? Free out of jail tools? Anyone?
SFV starts being at a level where new leafs could learn the game without being overwhelmed by mechanics /tools people from previous gen could abuse, seems clear like how the game is far from being complete also technically. In Vanilla SF4 even doing dp-FADC-U1 with Ryu or an OS against backdash were high tech after the first 3 months, let the game grow. SFV isn’t a newer version of SF4,is another chapter. They gonna polish the game later,if you can’t wait nigga bye. SF4 and his deep system,funny wakeup setups and YT videos where learn how don’t getting DPed 24/7 are still there. GG and others games full of high skill requirements are there. Why bitchin instead of playing what make you feel satisfied? SFV is far from being amazing,but damn. I don’t like NRS games,Smash or GG, but I don’t need the urgency to throwing shit on those games. Jeez, it’s a never-ending loop.
@TheFreshPrince Sure, I agree the game is very active compared to other SFs. I still don’t think he makes a good point. He says “would not stop hitting buttons even if it made no sense”. That’s not quite the same.
This is the only forum dedicated to a specific game where I’ve seen people constantly talking about other games. That should be the only proof you need to see that the game is boring to a lot of people (not speaking for myself).
I remember when this game first came out 90% of the people in this thread was praising this game and the few people who didn’t got hate for it but it’s funny that most people hate it now because a few top players started saying negative things about it lol. And my favourite, " this game is so damn good, the gameplay is perfect but the content just sucks".
I’m enjoying it though because this game does suck. I remember specifically when I realized this game was trash was in the last beta. I was stuck around 2k lp and couldn’t move up because I was focusing on a neutral game too much. Then I just started going ham and I shot up to 4k lp easily by the end of the beta. Now I’m at plat but haven’t played ranked in over a month and I will admit, I play completely autopilot. When I don’t, I lose.
