The Street Fighter V Lounge: Tron Bonne rumored as DLC

Akuma thank you Jesus. It’s gonna be a good Christmas

Cyber Akuma has stolen C Vipers technology, has unlocked special move feints.

vskill or vtrigger is his 3 hit fireball

calling it

or his command jump

DevilJin_01 · November 7, 2016, 8:47am

Only Ibuki can jump back air “fireball” and that requires her to use kunai release which kills all her kunais.

I imagine Akuma might still be able to neutral jump air fireball. No guarantees, but we’ll see.

If they start introducing more heavy zoners without giving other characters more tools against fireballs this is gonna be SF4 shitfest again.
Another Rose vs Sagat GF at EVO, so hype

that awkward moment when over half the cast have an anti-fireball tool

Laura and Alex have no anti-fireball tools without meter (her fireball can’t definitely stand against Guile or Ryu). Mika has the slide and that’s pretty much it.
Gief has tools but one has to wonder why his worst MUs are all heavy zoners.

Did you not read what I just fucking said

Yes, you were confirming my previous statement and I’m immensely grateful to you for that, so I wanted to elaborate on that to celebrate our newly found collaboration.

Flash Chop eats fireballs but good luck timing it consistently.

I think I’ve never seen once an Alex use Flash Chop to clear projectiles.

It’s what I do.

But to what purpose? And at which range?

I do it with projectiles that act like shields like Nash and Chun to cut off their approach. It’s not something I do often as it’s an easy counter. I like to use chops as pokes.

That’s what I meant. My issue was rather with true keepaway zoning and how to close the gap. But I forgot he has stun gun headbutt and that slash elbows cancel fireballs too.
I dream they will give a 1-hit projectile hitbox to Laura’s L elbow too.

AKUMA WILL HAVE NO 3F JAB

The satsui no hadou has grown weak indeed…

Veserius · November 7, 2016, 8:49am

hey @Windalfr alex can’t do anything about fireballs. beep beep

Jerom · November 7, 2016, 8:53am

How will I be able to aa jab Akuma when hes protected by a fireball ):

Hawkingbird · November 7, 2016, 8:55am

I will laugh if I can AA jab demon flip.

willseless · November 7, 2016, 8:55am

Did a Skullgreymon that died at age 17, Vegito on Dragon Ball Super, not disappointing news on SFV. If only my pc could handle Mad Max, today would’ve been even better.

Edit:did anyone noticed Akuma’s long hair?

TWINBLADES · November 7, 2016, 8:55am

I use stomp as my main anti-fireball tool. It’s not unsafe like EX elbow and I learned how to hit with it.

Pertho · November 7, 2016, 8:59am

Better than it was in 4? The game that had multiple fireball characters do well across multiple versions compared to a game where people have to go out of their way not to get their projectiles blown up?

This SF4 selective memory is hilarious.

MachoRhombus · November 7, 2016, 8:59am

Why are people so scared of heavy zoning when we haven’t even dealt with it in this game? Chun’s endless barrage of kikokens died before the first beta and Guile’s V Trigger is more of an offensive/pressure tool considering it’s usage.

Chill the hell out.

Necrotrophic · November 7, 2016, 9:01am

Because many people never learned how to deal with zoning. Dealing with zoning requires a lot of patience.

It may not be selective memory so much as it is different levels of understanding

Trife88 · November 7, 2016, 9:02am

I suggest you all go play SF4 Omega mode and pray for your main everyday like I did

T.Hawk with the Glock can happen.

Deadpool_Merc · November 7, 2016, 9:06am

the red strands at the top left?

Curious to see how it looks.

Veserius · November 7, 2016, 9:08am

I don’t want to block, I want to press buttons.

Zoning is scrubby you just throw fireballs randomly then anti air them if they jump.

matches should be over quickly(just not from me getting mixed up), long matches are boring because too much stuff happens.

I’m bad at fighting games.

think i got most of the reasons down

OceanMachine · November 7, 2016, 9:09am

When I find someone that keeps spamming projectiles at me in SF5 I just neutral jump until he gets bored and tries to attack me. I mean there’s no reason why I should be the only one to be tired of that shit.
Still enjoy the Guile MU though, because it’s challenging and if I manage to get close to him and he has no meter he has to respect me. But would enjoy it less if the whole game was made of Guiles.

You · November 7, 2016, 9:12am

Already seeing all these “I think I care about this game again”/“Time to buy SFV”/“As a former SFV hater, I am officially hyped” comments. What is it about this character that’s so damn appealing to casuals?
