You have 10 seconds to explain why you aren't playing SFV right now.Google+ Edition
>>332797693
Because I'm playing Senran Kagura, a slightly less shitty game
because i'm playing killer instinct, a much less shitty game
Because I just got 4 Ryus in a row
I wish I could just filter you boring-ass shotos out
its shit
because laura isn't real and neither is brazil
because im lurking at work so no vydia for a while
>>332797693
I'm white, so I don't really like fighting games.
>>332797693
Who's the character in that pic? Kinda looks like Ken from SFV but the hair's all wrong.
>>332797693
Im at work. I will train my Alex after i get home.
>>332800905
It's ryu with blonde hair
>>332800619
FUNDAMENTALS, NIGGER
>>332800619
Ryu is fucking to fight. Much better than Nash which brings tears to my eyes.
>>332800969
Got shut down by an alex recently. His stomp/headbuts are 2fast
Because I'm playing 3S on FightCade and not 16er/09er garbage like USFIV and SFV.
Because I'm a smash kiddy and I like it that way.
Because the game randomly crashes on me and I don't want to ruin people's day too much
>>332800619
Go away LTG

Too sick to play fighting games
>>332797693

IF YOU'RE TOO SICK FOR FIGHTING GAMES, YOU'RE TOO SICK TO POST ON /v/!
>>332802624
Sorry mom
Because Ken looks like ass
>>332801305
>these games are bad because they came out in these respective dates
I guess it's because I've got the most points I ever had after winning a couple in a row yesterday and I'm afraid I'll lose them
>>332801305
09ers are making top 8 at evo
I'm playing real fighting games instead.
>>332797693
Because I'm bad at the game
>>332797693
looks like ass
>>332797693
I'm trying to like the game but for some reason i can't make myself play it for long.
I can't explain why though, the game looks fun but playing it ain't that fun, especially because it takes fucking eons to find a suitable match.
>>332797693
because I'm warming up to fap
>>332800783
I'm white and I love fighting games.
Also I can't play at the moment since I burned my thumb practicing the other day.
(I remember I marathoned Alpha 3's World Tour mode as a kid, and burned a hole into my thumb from playing so much on my PS1 D-pad. Needless to say I'm much more cautious now)
>>332802865
>use the damn alpha costume
I was on like stage 30 something Hard Survival with M Bison then I got disconnected from my wifi, so now I'm too pissed to play
>>332797693
i dont have any money to buy it
>>332805205
to be honest the alpha costume looks worse than his default one.
that long hair wiggling around just looks plain weird in this game
>>332805662
Holy shit i requested that. Didnt see a response from the drawfriend. Thanks for posting
>>332797693
NO MAKOTO. NO BUY
>>332806010
that'll be $59.99 + tax pls
not on xbone and killer instinct gets boring to me
>>332806306
I dont have tax. Sorry
>>332797693
I keep fucking losing, I lost all of my skills.
>>332797693
because I'm not an idiot who likes to play shit games
Because, I'm heading to a tourney in an hour for SFV because I am poorfag and it's the only time I get to play it
Whomever rolls Mike/Michael/Miguel Ross gets a copy of sf5 or 60 dollar game.
Make sure to leave your steamid
Because there's no arcade mode and Capcom still hasn't fixed matchmaking.
>>332806835

Reminder OP is a shill and makes this thread multiple times a day
https://boards.fireden.net/v/search/image/Qe170qbZMndinpmacwrfDg/
Missed the train to get good at this shit when I was younger, no scene, losing all the time is fucking boring. Dead genre to me until they casualize it and I can get into it playing 2 hours a day at most without bullshit like reading "combo guides" and watching youtube tutorials to even understan the game mechanics.
>>332806835

I don't really like how Chun plays in this one.
Probably just going to wait for Ibuki to be released.
>>332806970
SF5 is pretty much as casualized as it gets, man. Made for people who "Don't think they can get good at fighting games".
>>332807182
shes literally 3rd strike chun
>>332807192
They said the same about SFIV. I don't see what's going to be different here.
Too busy trying to become Anthony Burch.
>>332807182
I don't like how cammy plays in this and want to play juri instead.
I also prefer Ken over Ryu in this one.
>>332797693
I'm playing Killer Instinct and I'm having a blast.
I like Street Fighter but V looks like a complete mess. Can someone convince me that it's worth it? At the moment it looks like a shoddy value.
Alex is fun as hell, but I think im playing him to aggressively.
>>332807328
I dislike how aggressive she feels in this one.
She doesn't need to have some of the best normals in the game on top of air LL pressure.
>>332797693
Don't have a fight stick. Don't know where to get a relatively cheap one for PC
>>332797693
But I am if I make a Lobby will anyone join?
Because smash is better
I just reached Super Silver and decided to call it a day.
>>332807647
Then use a controller you fucking faggot baby. It's not that hard.
Went on a 30 something win streak in ranked today. Went from ultra gold to platinum :)
Think I'm just going to stop at plat and pay lounges and casuals from now on, I'm happy with 7500 lp
>>332797693
Because it sucks.
>>332807647
amazon dummy
>>332797693
I made the mistake of picking laura.
Shes actually fun and all but its either I get the ball rolling or I lose usually with a perfect. I hate how I love SF more but I do better in almost every other fighter like the 3d namco ones, the older KOFs and the newest DOA.

who's ryu with better normals and less hadoukens?
>>332808958
Chun
>>332797693
I actually am. Completing all trials.
>>332807896
I feel the same, but WRT 2000 LP
>>332809110
Trials were kinda disappointing but I guess it's to be expected with the system
Except Karin 6
Fuck Karin 6

>>332808745

Go away, Mike.
>Balrog
He's kinda needed for the easy charge character.
>Hugo
Play Zangief
>Abel
Nash is the "Main" character for now.
>Sagat
I don't want easy mode damage zoning in muh SFV
>Dee Jay
Shit as Alpha Dan.
Lacking as SFIV Dan.
because I keep getting blown up by these constant nash players who literally never stop pushing buttons and has seemingly nothing punishiable
>>332809307
like just under a second. very easy
>going for 1 mil fight money
>at 670k

>>332809340
No fuck you
I did not win a Honda v Honda against someone with five times my points on the last day I played IV for no reason, I AM THE Honda, and I want him back.
>>332809307
its something like 30 frames. So about a sec.
Because I got 6 hours of sleep yesterday, and today I got 5, split into three portions because the grill who lives above me hosted a party. I feel like my body is dying.
Tomorrow though, I'll continue the climb with chun.
>>332797693
Because I'm Anthony Burch
>>332808516
I don't own Street Fighter 5. I have no interest in owning Street Fighter 5.
Eat a dick.
>>332797693
Shit wifi. Can't play many online multiplayer games anyway. I'd rather not curse other players with lag.
>>332809687
Mike, please.
Calm down.
>>332810151
And fuck you, Zangief sucks, if I want a giant grappler who sucks I want my fucking Hugo
Because there are no bimbo harems for M. Bison
Because I'm a girl
>>332797693
I find it boring and lacking in game play depth.
Multiplayer is not applicable and is ignored.
>>332809340
And fuck you again, I can't stand Nash, OW THE EDGE characters, are never good, ever. Period. End of story. Not up for debate.
>>332810614
So?
>>332797693
I'm at work, but I want to learn to main alex. Been 'giefing as a substitute until then. Might wait a bit until everyone stops being Alex online.
>>332810495
dont understand but muh boner
>>332809721
Hey, champ, do you know what FPS SFV runs at?
>>332809460
How the fuck do you do hard survival

Now im too fucking salty for this shit.
>>332807159
Lost your chance to win twice the points
and made yourself look like a bitch
>>332810495
Wheres the joke?
>>332811358
Yeah maybe, but I don't give second chances for Chun players to cheap me out
>>332797693
Because I was playing Bloodborne instead.
Not that I don't like SFV, mind you. I think Alex turned out pretty nicely too.
>>332797693
It's still in alpha.
>>332797693im at werk
Don't worry tho i will get on and Birdie all yall booties
Holy shit enough with all the shitty Alex players, please
>>332814565
yeah they should battle lounge that shit
Even in casuals, I've bodied every Alex player except one, maybe two.
>>332797693
because im waiting for my friends to get here in a little while so we can drink, smoke & play versus, since today I finally bought a 2nd controller so they can play with me
So
FUCKING

>>332797693
Because I'm playing the superior fighting game instead.
>>332816550
Ryu/Chun, might switch to ibuki or sakura when they come out
when its a bunch of us we all play as everyone though, been waiting for this so i can pick up a 3rd person
>>332797693
Because I'm gonna play later on tonight after I take a shower and clean the house.
Gonna be let down if there's no /v/ lobby around then. I could use some input on how to improve.
Because I suck at fightan.
I have about 30 hours in SFIV and a lot of that was spent in the training mode trying to practice basics. I never won a single match against a human.
30 hours is a drop in the ocean compared to many players, but frustration set it and I thought I wasn't improving enough.
>make lobby
>seeking someone stronger than me
>get nothing but Rookie players who barely know how to do special moves
Learning Alex has already drained 1k LP from me.
>>332819002
>tfw you didn't have any LP to lose when you started learning Alex
>>332810706
Oni and Necalli are great though.
>>332819002
Alex is shit.
>>332819268
But he's fun and that's what matters.
Really I'm just ttrying to get a handle on his normals and what punishes for when etc.
because I'm playing Skullgirls
>>332819002
>playing Ranked while learning a character
>Playing Ranked at all
Why are you so stupid?
>>332820330
Nobody in my area uses casuals or lounge, smartass.
>>332797693
I don't have a PS4
>>332818304
You just gotta stick to it, stomach the losses and never stop being hungry for victory. Then there'll be small achievements, landing that one combo once, clutching out a match, doing a comeback you wouldn't have thought possible. But you'll keep on losing a lot more than you're comfortable with. You'll still have loss streaks. You'll still have moments where you feel like all your hours have been wasted, where you feel you're a lost cause.
But you've gotta believe me when I say, one day, it just clicks. For every fighting game I've played, and I have actually never played a fighting game that I would not keep on playing, eventually there's the point where you just feel like "holy shit, I actually know what I'm doing". Where "by default", you just no longer drop your combos, you just know what you want to be doing in mostly every situation, you know how to keep your cool no matter the pressure. Where you know what to do to open someone up, and how to adapt on the fly when something does not work out.
It's gonna take a lot time. And not just time, but mental fortitude. But the great thing is, the next fighting game you play, you reach that magic "I know what I'm doing" state twice as fast, and the next game after that ten times as fast, and by the time you've spent 500 hours in your third game, picking up the next game, all you need is a couple of hours in training mode, a couple of matches, and you feel at home in a heartbeat.
Keep at it mate. The slog is worth it, I promise. There's light at the end of the tunnel.
i find the game quite boring
I am playing, I can play on lobbies and ranked but for some reason Casual matches just won't work, any ideas why? the game just wait forever for another player.
>>332820482
That's bullshit, but I'll believe it
>>332820261
Does anyone even play Skullgirls anymore?
>>332820694
I stopped after they started removing sprites because sjw started to cry about it
>>332816882
Blaz Blue and Guilty Gear have some of the gayest title names ever.
>>332820903
So you never played Skullgirls, gotcha.
>>332818304
>>332820492
What this dude said.
I've played fighting games on/off for years against the most aggressive person I know, and it took years before I got any better. Even then, I wasn't winning any matches, but I started to notice the patterns and was able to react to them.
Once I started up SFV, I changed my mindset to stop focusing on winning so much. I just accepted I was shit and started focusing on learning from every single match. I still suck something fierce, but I've made more improvement in the past day of adapting with that mindset than the past few years of angrily blitzing in and eating counters, Fafnirs, or command grabs.
Playing KI right now. I should play again just to try Alex though I suppose.
>>332820694
I do and so do many others. It actually got playerbase increase over years, one of the miraculous comebacks from dead to alive.
>still no way to buy the survival colors
>survival is LITERALLY impossible
How can they get away with this? Is there anyone here who has beaten hard mode atleast once?
>>332820903
Fuck off, false flagger
>>332820492
Good advice. Listen to this man.
>>332821123
So what platform has the most active players? I'm guessing PC.
>>332821131
>survival is LITERALLY impossible
It's not quit being a shitter
>>332821131

>>332800324

lol
>>332797693
Super just got announced so I'm waiting on that.
>>332821245
PC, yes
>>332821131
Yeah. It's just the computer dude you can figure it out. Save your points for health only.
>>332821438
Yeah, it's no where near as bad as SFV
>>332797693
Ken looks fucking weird.
Waiting for the best dumb costume in fighting games to drop so I can be a scrub online while looking as retarded as I play.
>>332809297
Is that the one with the extremely specific use of her Guren ken attacks? Goddamn that took me like 30 minutes to figure out, at least every other trial in the game was smooth sailing, this is no sf4 trial mode that's for sure
>>332821245
It has crossplay. So no matter what you're always bunched up with everyone else. Great news for long-term PC players that are worried about the scene dieing out for them.
>>332821603
It's literally recycled assests the game. Every mission is the same shit and the entire cast is homogenized. You play one level and you've played them all.
>>332811004
JUST MASH DP GOOTECKS
>>332809460
It took me forever to get them done with a trainer, I can see you easily sinking in 100+ hours to get that done legit. God speed
>>332821873
This. When the fuck is Capcom gonna try to improve on this shit series?
They almost had it right with 4, but 3rd Strike still manages to blow them all away.
I like good vidya games
>>332805390
Trainer it my man. Survival is not worth it
>>332821734

>>332822290
I'm on the PS4
>>332797693
Because they screwed everybody who doesnt have a Gaystation or PC to play it. And im not going to invest on another system just play SFV specially if the game itself is very lacking. I'll stick to SFIV still. Fuck you Sony.
>>332821762
correction: Skullgirls has crossplay between PS3 and PS4, PC doesn't have crossplay but has bigger playerbase than either console. I think it's good to get on PS4 or PC, because PS3 has no lobbies.
>>332822341
I still can't believe- with the exception of Macho Man Zangief- how much better Ryu/Chun/Cammy/Bison's Battle Outfits are compared to the entire rest of the cast.
I personally like how goofy Mika's is, and Karin's also good, but the rest range from alright to fucking awful.
fighting games are nothing but guessing games and rock paper scissors
>>332797693
I can't, my wife is having a date over, and i need to go through the living room to get to the office, not allowed to disturb.

I'd trade this shitty code so fast for that one.
>>332822685
shouldn't you be playing DoAX3, cuck?
>>332822643
You know what, I'm a total retard and thought you guys were talking about SFV. Well, that's what I get for trying to learn Alex while I lurk.
>>332809460

several people have said just go offline and you should be good
>>332823225
>>fuck you because I can't beat Survival
When did I even say I couldn't beat survival? That's so far from the point it's shocking.
We need a "first world countries only" filter when searching for games
>>332823471
This is my main gripe with Survival. The perks at the end of the round are just so fucking randomized. I'd honestly rather the game just have it so you get a set amount of Health back instead of getting fucked over with "Low" options.

>>332825064
>>332825104
No. The only thing the season pass gets you are the characters, there premium costumes and some stages.
>>332825104
No, the season pass costumes are ONLY for the characters in the season pass.

I hope you mean it's too lenient.
2f links were the perfect middleground, especially since everybody just plinked anyway.
3rd strike and 4 fag here
how the fuck do you fags play v without wanting to pull your hair out? god this game is so fucking bad. you get nothing off a knockdown and people mash jab or just jump. then there's the stupid block strings and normals. dont you dare press a button because you just get frame trapped. fuck this game is trash.

People throw around "3 frame links" a lot, but iirc there's a 3 frame buffer window in any moves' recovery in ADDITION to the normal link window you'd be given anyway. So in reality this game's links range somewhere between 4 minimum, 6ish most of the time, and up to, like, a thousand for some combos.
Honestly if you can't do combos in this game, you can't do them in any game. The generous link windows in addition to how short the average combos are in this game makes this one of the easiest out of them all execution wise. Dumbing stuff down any more would make htings ridiculous.

Learn to time your meaty properly? They can't mash jab if the meaty hits them on the first frame.

M8, it's b8.
I'm bad
>>332828863
No, the buffer is 2f.
People say it's 3f because how it makes the links 3f and they dont understand what the word buffer means.
Man Alex can punish whiffed pokes pretty well, it's weird to fight a grappler character that seems more dangerous at midscreen than up in your face
>>332828863
No, the buffer is only 2 frames, for a total of 3 frames to do a link.

It's unfinished, buggy garbage.
I'll give it 2-3 years before looking at it again. The current state it's in is just depressing.
>>332829762
Why would you wait 3 years to get into a fighting game?
>>332829672
