Did anybody here watch the dunk off? That was Daigo season 2 levels of bad.

jebop · February 19, 2017, 8:52am

Yeah and so is Birdie’s headbutt. You do something about it.

TWINBLADES · February 19, 2017, 8:53am

DevilJin_01 · February 19, 2017, 9:00am

I think meter and V-trigger management and awareness is even more vital now, especially in S2. If a character with a safe metered option has it I personally think it’s not that hard to bait for 90% of players into using it and then blocking it. I’ll quite happily sit now when Urien/Rog etc has meter and wait to block the inevitable hale mary, then either V-reversal to steal the momentum back or just hold the block string til I’m out. It’s like a turn based game inside a turn based game - “ok they’ve burned it - now we can play again”

You can’t really blame the players that have these moves for using them like that since that’s primarily (right or wrong) the design choice. A big “fuck it” momentum stealer. You’ve just got to fish it out of them.

This is a very smart strategy to use. Unfortunately… it’s also a very obvious strategy.

The game breaks down at this point because there’s not a really good way to punish people for “just blocking” when they think a v pop cancel is coming.

The only direct way to punish is to dash or jump in while they are waiting… it that’s just more sfv stupidity “have to do something unsafe to punish defensive opponent tendencies”

I long for the days when I could just st.hp people to death with Chun in A2

. I mean at what point do we stop complaining and start accepting that’s just the way it is.

NEVER :nunchuck:

Since when did bison become top tier? Like im in a discord right now with people saying ooo bison is top tier because he has frame traps…and almost no weaknesses.

jebop · February 19, 2017, 9:12am

I don’t even feel bad about Urien. More than half of this shit community wanted him buffed because you have bad footsies and can’t AA.

TWINBLADES · February 19, 2017, 9:14am

Kek this was hype though

Darc_Requiem · February 19, 2017, 9:14am

You should not be mad at a game for being that dumb.

TWINBLADES · February 19, 2017, 9:15am

I’m sick of this bullshit.

Literally every nigga is playing Urien holy fucking shit

jebop · February 19, 2017, 9:16am

Yeah I played him for a week and got sick of mirror matches.

OceanMachine · February 19, 2017, 9:18am

People complained because you don’t have SF4 infinites? Now you do.

Surremies · February 19, 2017, 9:19am

When’s SF6?

TWINBLADES · February 19, 2017, 9:20am

In 2020

MarLonLonMilk · February 19, 2017, 9:26am

It was fantastic last year. Probably why people are disappointed with this year. It was in my hometown last year (Toronto) and I didn’t even bother trying to go because I got SFV a few days in advance lol.

Doctrine_Dark · February 19, 2017, 9:29am

So is anyone actually playing online right now? I’m bored.

unofficialdocument · February 19, 2017, 9:32am

I hit Gold tonight. A-am I doing you proud, SRK? Playing F.A.N.G feels so fun, yet a constant uphill battle all the time.

YorKeY · February 19, 2017, 9:51am

Hitting gold with Fang since the beginning as your character? Congrats big guy, that’s like hitting platinum cause you’re using Fang. Kappa

Highlandfireball · February 19, 2017, 9:55am

While getting beat by high level Uriens is sometimes frustrating, I take a lot of pleasure in beating up the Plats that got there from two aegis set ups and a CC button. I can feel through the screen their thoughts - “WTF you mean you blocked that FFS” - There’s even long pauses of - “Fuck…fuck it knee drop!” in between “why the fuck won’t my St.Fierce work anymore - Random head butt”

I’ve noticed particularly anyone on 7540LP ( where they just managed to get plat by one game). This game really bred a fucking clusterfuck of player.
