@Highlandfireball trying to lowkey brag he’s better than us >:(
I don’t even know who that is, but I can think of like 3 or 4 dudes who would probably need to borrow the jersey before him…
Honestly I don’t even care about rankings. I’d rather play somebody than sit on my ass for 30 minutes at a time.
I miss SF4 Endless. Used to play the shit out of that.
The worst bit is that on PC - I can’t even alt tab out the game to surf the net. It bricks my PC. Brilliant design.
I alt-tab out of the game all the time to check things here and it’s perfectly fine. Sounds like this is just a problem with your PC.
It did work , til I did the Windows update. Doesn’t happen on any other game mind you…
This is why I don’t game on PC.
Sorry but wasn’t SF4 endless the equivalent of SF5 battle lounges? I don’t see the difference aside from the lack of voice chat.
The flags. I am a 100% certain that is what he is talking about.
For someone who is in Australia, i imagine him having a crap ton of people join then leave which would make the experience unenjoyable for him.
Endless was set in the same region. You only got fellow players and it was also easy to find a lounge.
Battleounge is so far from Endless that I’ve never used it unless I’m inviting someone in.
I’ve never had an Australian join my lounge, likewise I’ve never found an Australian on the search function.
Nigga I’m here literally every day. Wait until Friday
well in frame traps.
It would surely be easier to find people in your region if the game just was able to show the flags and the pings on the results screen on PC. But the servers are so fucked up recently it looks like they don’t care anymore.
If the move they’re frame trapping you with has enough range it will hit your backdash and score a counter-hit. Backdashes are better when you read a throw, but if they read your backdash you may eat a CC into a full combo.
what if u in block stun and u block the first move.
You’ll get CC’d if they press a crush counter button, otherwise you’ll be counter hit into a standing reset. You may as well just block and be prepared to delay tech.
If they’re frame trapping you you won’t be able to move while in blockstun and it will be easier to connect any button they press after that. The best strategy against frame traps is to just block until you’re pushed out of range and they have to commit to a dash or a slow long range move to hit you again.
You can use back dash like that, but I’ve had more success using it as a bait on the attack. Think Zangief full super etc. So with Ryu I’d do st.mp - back dash. Although situations arise on defense where it’s a good option, Again if you block a Laura Elbow and she has full super, I’d back dash there for sure. It does have it’s uses, but it’s dependant on you recognising the pattern.
Another example I can think of is low level dictator players will do a combination of blocked normals that ends in scissors. If you back dash there you can whiff punish the scissors with sweep etc…
Situational, but the answer is yes, back dash is still viable.
Also using it offensively. People still get caught (at least at Ultra gold level) with the Ryu dash forward/dash back st hp into super or whatever.
any of ya’ll niggas check out Tekken 7 at SCR? If not check this out

I remember when I thought Akuma was a stiff looking mofo and I didn’t think his moves would flow well. However, now i’ll be pretty sad when he doesn’t have baller resets, combos, and okis like that if/when he makes it into SFV. I’m sure ya’ll disagree, but fuck he looks about as fun as ever.
Backdashes are great as long as you are not predictable with them.
I was fighting this Super platinum 11K Bison player with Chun Li and i noticed that he will backdash on wakeup every single time i would throw him. In the last round of that fight i did a forward throw, dashed forwarded then did my B.HP. I got my CC to hit, i juggled with a super and took the game.
They can be a nice option but don’t abuse them or make a pattern out of using them.
