How are you doing in street fighter V anon? What LP are you at? Are you enjoying alex? Who's your main?
Being zangief player is suffering.
You have to chase around any other character that is not a grappler, in which case they have better pokes than you (and advanced player know that is very viable to challenge you, ironically you have better chances with them as long as you don't fuck up). Alex is fine but just not my taste.
>>333139848
I hate playing against good giefs, he really he can be great. If he gets in for just a second you can expect half your health to be gone. but you're right it's not easy getting there.
>>333139848
>>333140120
I forgot to ask what lp are you at?
>>333140120
Yeah that is the hardest part. Once you're in shit goes down, but getting in while avoinding as much damage as you can is half the battle.
>>333139424
>How are doing in Street Fighter
I'm playing Killer Instinct instead
>>333140269
Boucing on silver/supersilver hell.
I've been at about 2100 lp for 3 weeks nowbecause I haven't played in 3 weeks.
>>333140420
That's cool anon how is that game?I like a lot of fighters but iv'e never played KI.
>>333140485

At least you guys are gud, bronze reporting in, stuck at 1000lp can't go up or down i'm just sitting here losing and winning.

How do I use Alex properly? I'm a scrub and have never played a grappler before. I don't know how to get in or get out when my opponent is on the offensive.

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2016/apr/01/how-unlock-and-pricing-info-colors-11-15-street-fighter-5/
This game isn't good for my health. When I win I feel just "ok", but when I lose I get too salty at myself for not being better at the game
The fact that I do get better with time doesn't help either.
Damn: I have to refrain from buying anything before I can guarantee the 600k funbucks for the six dlc characters. I know arcade and the new story mode will probably net some more funbucks but I don't want to risk it, I'm sitting on 350k fightmoney so at least I'm halfway there.
>>333143279
I can honestly say that's better than doing fucking survival, i hate that shit.
>>333143361
I'm having the same problem, i just look at all the crazy shit people can do and then get mad i can't replicate it. You really do get better with time though just good fundies and a BnB combo will get you to silver (or so i'm told) i'm bronze myself at 1200lp but i can see that being completely true.
2200lp Bison. I like Alex, but I just don't know how to play him yet. I'm sure I'd be higher ranked if I played more... Ranked just stresses me out for some reason.
>>333144434
I have to take drugs to stomach ranked, shit really is stressful yo.
>tfw third round with half health
>>333143696
350k? literally how. Iv'e been playing ranked since release and iv'e only got 75k and that's gone because i bought fangs story skin.
>>333144774
Do all the single player stuff. I think I have 400k and I've never touched Hard Survival.
>>333143696
>mfw bought season pass
>mfw enjoying my stupid looking Alex premium costume
>>333143184
YOU
Anyone want to make a lobby?
2000 lp here, mainly using ryu and fang on ranked. Just plaing cool with ryu, his dash forward is godlike and has really good blockstrings. He can dish some real damage off a jump in.
But i'd really like to main alex though, he is my favourite char and played him a lot in 3s. Thing is, he has very few things that can be "abusable" online and has no invincible reversal. So yeah enjoy blocking dor ages against.... Nash, or how i like to call him, Mash.
>>333145063
How do you like fang? have any tips for another fang player?
>>333144774
Complete survival easy adn story mode with all characters and you will be sitting on 200k in no time. Watch the demonstrations in challenge mode for another 40k, and add to that whatever challenges and survival modes you can complete for some extra cash.
>>333145045
If someone starts it i'll join. I'm a shitter tho.
>>333142235
Because there are already two shotos in the game
Seven Ryus in a row. Last night I had 15 in a row. This is getting to the point that if it's a casual match, I'll tab out or play something on the 3DS.
>>333145334
And that's enough. I already deal with enough whiffed DPs i don't need any more retards running around playing a crutch character archetype.
>>333145832
My favorite kind of ryus are the ones that sit full screen and spam fireballs. You have to admit though punishing a blocked DP is satisfying like nothing else in this game.
>>333145191
Command dash into grab is very good
You can afford being defensive as long your opponent is poisoner
If you score a hard knockdown put the poison cloud on your opponent and go for jump/dash mixups
Standing medium kick is godlike anti air
Also, how about a double dose of poison?
I am not very good at the game and I honestly don't think I ever will be but I do really enjoy playing. My hands get clumsy and I struggle to do combos but when I win I am just happy it was a fun game. What does ken's red bar thing do? Make his kicks more powerful?
>>333146040
Great advice, honestly i should use his command dash more but right now iv'e only been using it to dodge fireballs. I never considered the offensive capabilities i'm definitely going to work on that. And for the poison cloud that sound like a good idea too, i normally just use LK poison balls when they're knocked down so it hits them when they get up, but i'll try it your way it sounds more versatile.
>>333139424
>How are you doing in street fighter V
learnin slow but steady, still suck
>What LP
around 3500 or so, I reach 3800/3900 every day and get knocked backed down when I lose to the odd bronze daigo incarnate

>>333146636
I'm at 3k lp and i'm tempted to go casual
>>333146539
more like rashidooon't
Doing alright. Maining chun, but only at 800 LP. Sadly I haven't had much time to play since release since I'm doing a shitload of catchup at school, as well as having to plays can with my friends who need a fifth for an upcoming LAN. In a week, I should have time to get into the game proper.
>>333146539
I hate when people do this. Like how can you feel good trying to win like that?
>>333146871
I respect how that Rashid used that EX spike because it would either kill Doug or put him on the other side of him safely.
>>333146856
At 800lp you aint shit nigga, a week is not enough time to prepare.
>>333139848
Try his headbutt (f+hp) for counter poking, you can hit even something like chun hk or dhalsim mp as long as you're mindful of the range you're trying to beat. His f+mk is good to get over lows, especially dhalsim mk.
>>333146510
>>333139424

>>333146539
That webm made me so nervous, good for you boi show that cancer who's boss.
>>333146871
It's called burning the clock. That's usually not your strategy from the outset, but if the match has dragged to 30sec or lower, you should be considering the clock and seeking a life lead.
Around 10sec, you can start doing ridiculous runaway shit. You can just block and intentionally eat throws (don't tech rise) to burn extra time.
>>333146539
Looks like he just did another backdash. He could have easily blocked for the win and made you look like an idiot.
4K LP, Vega main
Haven't touched Alex but he seems alright
Stopped playing ranked at the moment since i want to improve my game before going further.
>>333139424
i dont want to play sf5 because they dont have my main abel
i need my tornado throws
>>333147394
I fought against a Mika that crouched in the corner for 50~ seconds when I had a life lead (I'm not willingly going to let Mika put me in the corner, she can come to me) and then tried to hurry up and kill me when the 20 second mark hit. Probably the only time I used the runaway tactic. If they're going to play shitty, I'll play shitty back.
Won that round and went on to dominate the next. No rematch.
>>333147624
Smart stuff. My base gameplan against mika is to stay center stage, that's about it.
One rope-a-dope into vortex can be the round and god help you if she has VT in the corner.
I keep running into laggy Nashes online who always land that one combo
I don't really play online anymore
>>333139424
i suck. forever stuck in bronze.
I went from 1200LP to 800LP
>>333147624
>shuffle back and forth for 10 seconds
>do a random jump-in / ex-rekka / charged dropkick
Why does every single Mika I see play like this.
>>333145063
>he has very few things that can be "abusable" online and has no invincible reversal.
This is what causes me issue with Alex. There is no real point you can just relax in a match as he basically needs you to play immaculate footsies and have a really good grasp of a surprisingly large range of combos to suit a situation
For a lowly scrub like me this makes him an uphill battle
>>333147894
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMxngzhI3ps
>>333148008
his jab is one of the best anti-airs in the game, you can abuse safe elbows, his v-trigger combos off a lot of his normals. he's alright IMO, I've been beating ultra golds with him in lobbies, assuming they're not RQ-ing ranked. I wouldn't really put him any lower than mid-tier
BRONZE BOY HERE I DID IT BROS. I finally did it. Iv'e been around 1200lp and keep getting matched with silvers and i can never beat them. Until now. This ryu had 1000 point lead on me and i whooped his ass so hard he rage quit right before i won. Started from the bottom now we're here.
>>333147781
That's exactly where i'm at, i can beat anyone under 1klp so easy but when i get over 1000lp i start getting matched with silvers and they body me so i lose all my points and start over again.
>>333147618
Sorry for your loss, there really isn't anyone similar to abel in 5 either.
Trying to cope with the fact I'll have no free time to actually play this game for the next months.
I tried to find a main, and I think I found one in either Cammy or Mika, but I'm honestly not sure.
>>333148113
I'd call elbows his best tool but I wish they were like Necalli's in that they could all take a projectile and didn't lose to a low hit. His vrtigger is also decent but I find a lt of people just back off once you've used it making keeping up the assault a bit tricky
>>333148509
The worst is when you think you've found your main and know his in an outs more than the average bronze player yet still can't ge tout of Bronze
Like rashid's spinning mixer unmashed can only trade with a jab it can't be fully punished, so it can turn into a mini-reset because of how safe it is.
>>333139424
I'm really digging Alex, just still not sure what my gameplan should be, but it hasn't even been a week so I'm not discouraged. Just gotta keep going.
Has anyone done an Alex comfy/cozy/whatever the fuck picture yet?
>>333148932
>just still not sure what my gameplan should be
He doesn't really have one, he just sort of works in all situations but you need to call it very right and early enough
I've tried getting into several characters over the weekend and nothing clicks with me, I'd still rather play Ryu. I somehow always miss having good hit confirms or dislike the general flow of b&b combos. This is coming from a guy that's semi seriously played over 10 characters in SF4. Shit sucks
>>333149031
got a rashid one?
>>333148728
>The worst is when you think you've found your main and know his in an outs more than the average bronze player yet still can't ge tout of Bronze
This is infuriating to me, iv'e put enough god damn hours into the game now give me silver.
>>333149050
>>333149081
kek, ty
Yesterday was horrible. I waited several minutes for a ranked match and every second time I got a server disconnect after finally finding someone.
Game is unplayable right now, fuck Capcom. At least I can look at the sales and reviews and get a good feeling because they deserve this shit 100%.
>>333149042
What characters have you tired? Have you tried the best newcomer?
>>333149232
It's been working for me fine all night and it worked yesterday too you're just an autist.
>>333149031
Thanks anon.
And yeah that's the impression I got.
He's got some scary shit with his powerbomb and V Skill shenanigans, he's got the elbow, stomp and headbutt to cover distance, he's got really long reaching normals, he can combo from jabs and light kicks etc. He seems to be decent at everything, it'd just be nice if I could boil down what it is he excels at so I could focus my training.
>>333148728
>>333149067
I'm sure this sounds like an excuse, but I swear it's harder for me to play with someone that has little to no idea of what they're doing than with someone that actually knows.
Stupid, but sometimes I look at more high skilled games and there's pretty much always one contemplative moment where both are crouching, trying to read one another or something. I never see that.
Not that it matters - I might even know what to do in theory, but to actually put it in practice is almost impossible to me. I swear to god my mind just goes blank once I'm in a match when it comes to moves.
>>333149367
Chun, Birdie, Laura, Ken. As for "real" charge characters, I've played a good bit of Bison and Blanka in SF4, but have not touched a charge character in SF5 yet. Is best newcomer your husbando or can I try him out?
>>333149417
>it werks for me bro
Yeah, the amazing amount of negative reviews it gets are surely because I'm autistic. 80 hours I have into the game and only once matchmaking was faster than a minute. Meanwhile Mortal Kombat and Tekken have matchmaking in 5-10 seconds tops.
After a month they still didn't fix anything. Extreme loading times because of the slow as fuck server confirmation after survival and the other single player content. Well, Capcom got what they deserve with no sales and soon to be dead game.
>>333149740
Like i said you're an autist if you can't wait a few minutes for a match. We're getting more content down the line and this patch was actually pretty good.
>worrying about reviews
Just because some normies got mad they got destroyed online and decided to hit the downboat button doesn't mean it's a bad game.
>>333139424
Fucking great. Just dropped ranked and playing sets now.

>>333149448
>I'm sure this sounds like an excuse, but I swear it's harder for me to play with someone that has little to no idea of what they're doing than with someone that actually knows.
There's no shame in getting randomly DPed to death, shitters are too unpredictable.
>Not that it matters - I might even know what to do in theory, but to actually put it in practice is almost impossible to me. I swear to god my mind just goes blank once I'm in a match when it comes to moves.
This happened to me too when i first started playing usf4 and again after i took like a 6 month break and got sf5. It's all experience and practice, it's annoying to hear but it gets better if you recognize what you're doing wrong and try to fix it.
>>333149650
>4.jpg, not 2.jpg
>>333149981
You are a shit eating cuck if you're ok with waiting longer for a match than the match itself is going to be.
SFV is probably your first fighting game as only then you could accept being a cuck. SFIV worked way faster. Current modern fighting games take literal seconds for matchmaking.
And that's not even the only problem with online as of now. But who cares about proper online play right? We still have the amazing single player content.
I dropped Fang for Alex and i'm actually having fun
>>333150216
Shit, fixed
Got to silver the other day with R Mika. Planning to try and switch on Alex. I just wish you could get wins when someone ragequits
>>333150345
I have no idea why a rage quit doesn't just count as a loss for the leaver and win for the guy who stayed.
>>333149650
He's my husbando but you can use him. I literally can only use charge characters so i was stuck with him but i ended up falling in love with his playstyle. His BnBs are really easy to learn to, i'd say overall he is really easy to learn but very difficult to master. Watch this series if you really are interested in learning him, this is the fang bible.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvmzdaWxcm4
>>333150239
Oh i remember looking for a match in usf4
>looking for opponent
>failed to connect
>looking for opponent
>failed to connect
>rinse and repeat for 5 minutes
The game has problems but the online match making isn't one of them. My only complaint is that i get matched with people 1000 more lp than me and that doesn't seem fair. But even then you can take it as a learning experience.
>>333139424
Not doing particularly well but I am having a lot of fun.
Stuck between 900-1100. Constantly moving between Bronze and Super Bronze.
I haven't used him yet. I've done his trials but that's about it, haven't done his story.
In the series I usually prefer Ryu or Bison but this time around I'm really liking Chun Li. Trying to git gud at the game using her. Also done everyone's trials except number 6 for Karin. That shit's impossible.
>>333150345
>>333150497
It makes me hard when i make someone rage quit fuck the points.
>tfw could only 10/10 Laura's trials
i guess she's my main now
also, how the fuck do i do Birdie's 6th challenge? s.HK and s.LP timings are so weird
>>333150909
You're kidding right? All SFV combos can be completed as long as you're mashing the next button at the end of the current attacks animation.
Just keep mashing LP while HK is happening.
>>333150708
So exactly like with SFV, only that you need to wait several minutes to get a disconnect.
The game has huge problem and matchmaking is another great one. 2-5 minutes is completely unacceptable especially when other fighting games take only a few seconds. Capcom was cheap again or got untalented hacks to do the job.
>Make Chun-li top tier again
>Make her with hard execution
Fuck capcom, Ono, and all these bunch of dirty ass faggots.
>>333139424
>How are you doing in street fighter V anon?
Got the game on Friday and had blast over the weekend learning all the new stuff in the game. This is the first SF game where out of the gate I'm doing okay.
>What LP are you at?
Currently sitting at 1200, ranked SF is still as salt inducing as ever, though causal matches and lobbies are super chill and fun.
>Are you enjoying alex?
He great. All his normal's are pretty much as good as they were in 3rd Strike, in particular his s.MK, c.MP, and s.HK in particular due to Crush Counters being a thing. I suck at combos and just used to use pokes with him in 3rd Strike which is just a viable in this game as well. Also second best theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NIrFNgGjSE
>Who's your main?
Birdie and Laura. A long range grappler is the most on paper retarded thing ever but he's so damn fun to just chuck jumping scrubs around the stage. Was not expecting to pick up Laura, but her quarter-circle DP is amazing and her grapples are really fun.
>>333151006
I prefer this match making system over usf4s, lets just leave it at a difference in opinion.
>>333147894
Because they're all shitters who get carried by a gimmick character.
>>333150531
Got ya famalam, thanks. I'll try to put him to good use
>>333142318
ALL RIGHT, LETS BEGIN!
>>333141328

>>333151024
>Chun-Li
>Hard execution
The fuck are you on about
>>333151059
That there is even a point to argue when one game is 8 years old and the other one a month just shows that capcom fucked up. I'm optimistic that they will improve matchmaking to be better, though Pokemon Tekken has more players and matchmaking takes only a few seconds so it's hard to give Capcom any slack for being so incompetent.
>>333150497
>>333150345
>>333150765
I take that back, iv'e had 3 rage quitters in a row it's not fun anymore.
>>333151173
I'm on your mom.
She literally is asshole, any bnb I have to do with her is a frame link.
3500lp Chunners reporting in.
Protip: All Nash players are dirty dishonest faggots.
Why is no one complaining about Laura? All her normals are safe as fuck. Yeah, Nash has also ridiculous save normals but Laura is fucking annoying as shit to fight against and her ex moves are the most dangerous in the whole game.
>>333151071
Just remember cr.MP xx LP poison nails are all you need up to about 1000lp it's so fucking good. I really want to explain fang more because i like him but everything is covered in that series. Good luck m8 cheers.
>tfw always fond of fighting games but never have the focus to get good at any of them
>can never bring myself to go online anyway because of anxiety
I'll be a secondary forever.
i'm absolutely trash, i have no plan about what i should do during the match and whenever i try something i press the inputs to early, to late, or even wrong inputs... for some reason i also mash buttons after a few matches until i realize that and stop mashing for a while.
how i should even practice? since both my game knowledge and execution are so low, i don't know what i should start with... should i play against players, practice combos in training room or watch some matches?
>>333151249
>Is a frame link
wat the tightest link is 3f. What link are you even talking about?
c.LP > s.MP > c.MK > hk.Legs?
c.HP > lk.Legs > c.LP > lk.SBK?
If you've played SFIV those links should be consistently doable after about 20mins of practice.
Can anyone post the 10 alt colors for story outfit FANG? He's the only one missing from every site in existence.
>>333151160
>i need to stop expecting kens to play like they respect me
Fucking lol, i actually really like playing against shotos, i think the most fun i have with this game is when they fuck up a DP and i can pull out my full punish combo. And then they DC like every other ken player but whatever.
>>333151253
Stop throwing Kikokens and s.lk his moonsaults.
Wanna talk about dishonesty lets talk about Mika players.
>>333151185
Capcom really has fucked up, i was as mad as you are when i got the game day one and the servers were fucked. I honestly don't care about the match making times because i multitask and do other shit while it's searching so it doesn't bother me. If i had to actually sit down and wait a full 5 minutes doing nothing i'd get a little upset too since the games are so short. But overall i think they did the base game well, it feels good and the mechanics are sound and that's all i really care about.
>>333151359
Shitter here, i have more problems with nash than laura. Fuck nash yo low risk high reward and it's stupid.
>>333151505
seriously every ken i fight dps after every block string and im just sitting here wanting to gouge my fucking eyes out
>>333151481
Practice easy b&b combos every day in training room. Practice anti airing every day, too (set the bot to jump in on you). Stop yourself from jumping at the other guy all the time. Try to find a friend to play against repeatedly in lobby and talk about what's really unsafe and what's good to do.
>>333151253
>Protip: All Nash players are dirty dishonest faggots.
Agreed. Fuck that guy.
>>333151483
Not him but can you do
>c.LP > s.MP > c.MK > hk.Legs?
s.MP > c.MK I can connect but c.LP > s.MP > c.MK seems to put her too far away for the c.MK to hit.
>>333151858
>>333151481
Training wise, it's better to do something every day for five to ten minutes than doing it for an hour once a week.
>>333139424
I don't play online, haven't touched it. I only play locally at an arcade near the uni and participate in weekly ladders. Online is fucking stupid and it's next to impossible to compare it to local play.
My mains are Karin and Zangief.
>>333151857
You know what's fun? A good gief. You'l be having the best day of your life, everythings great, the sun is shining, there's hope in the air. And then you get matched against a gief with 1000 more lp than you and boom the day is ruined. If the fucker gets in he does like half your health in one combo it's so fucking ridiculous. especially that move where he spins and pulls you in for a grab. bullshit.
I'm hovering at ~2100 with Karin, shit's hard. I jump waaaaay too fucking much against defensive opponents.
I treid Alex, he is fun and satisfying to play, but I'm horrible with him, I don't know how to attack, I just turtle and respond to their moves.
What's the difference between the powerbomb strenghts? They do different damage but the framedata is the same for all 4...
>>333151483
What if it is 3f?
You think it's just something you can mash?
Any bnb includes buffered move, with frame link.
She got no target combos, no way to rush or go through fireballs, her specials are unsafe.
>>333152179
dumb karin poster
>>333152125
Every single time i fight a gief i footsie the shit out of him for the first round, then decide to get bold and try going in for the 2nd and third. I cant stop myself. I have a problem
>>333152179
Karin is good, you just gotta stop with the jumping. Took me a while and once you stop, things start to change.
>>333151702
I love the gameplay too. Only that yesterday it was a really bad day and I got server disconnects all the time while waiting for my watches. There is also some new kind of bug since the new update where sometimes after a match I don't get to the ready screen for the next game.
>>333152247
I bet you main nash
>>333152260
I'm not saying she's bad, I know she's a beast but I just find it so hard to get into range with my normals. I can poke, but getting in and starting a combo is so hard, I get countered and eat a huge punish.
>>333152179
Different grab ranges, like all command grabs.
Light reaches the furthest and does the least damage, Heavy has the worst range but best damage.
Not sure on EX though, I think it has Light or Medium range with Medium or Heavy damage.
>>333152125
As Ryu, I actually really like the Ryu vs. Gief matchup if the Gief player is good. Feels like actually playing Street Fighter.
Dropped SFV for PC Killer Instinct until they fix all the annoying shit
I'd rather play SFV but the overall experience is just so much smoother in KI at the moment
>>333152359
I see. So basically you should be doing the lp version almost all the time, since the difference is only 20 dmg?
>>333152352
remember to use her medium kick, its got almost the same range as dahlsim and when you vtrigger to utilize your quarter circle punches to cover a lot of ground
>>333152374

>>333152332
Is it really a bug or are you talking about the new rematch system the pops up before the main end match screen? Love that by the way i think it's my favorite thing they added this patch.
>>333152370
Yeah you sit at full screen and spam fireballs and DP when he tries to jump in. Solid strategy vs a gief but it's still playing lame.
>>333152562
I already dual boot just for SFV, I mainly use Debian
>>333150968
i dunno man i keep mashing but the moves either dont come out or im too far away for the s.LP to connect
>>333152595
After a match the winning animation plays and the screen freezes till you get to the replay screen. With the bug the replay screen never shows up and you remain with the stuck screen until you're thrown back into the main menu/lounge.
>>333152673
You can play footsies with Gief, you know. I've played with an 4k Gief for half an hour this weekend, one of the least things you've seen have been jumpins or full screen fireballs.
>>333152795
How are people able to just DO SHIT AND START HITTING ME in the middle of my combos?
500LP shitter scrub Karin here
was playing a Ryu last night who would just CA in the middle of my fucking combos
1700~LP Bison
I only play a couple matches a day so my progress is very slow.
Haven't played since the Alex patch.
>>333152868
Oh that sucks, hasn't happened to me yet but i'll keep an eye out for it.
>>333152903
ok then give me some solid advice for the match up, how do i avoid his (i don't know what input it is) Knee into command grab, he always does that shit to me, i cant jump it or block it i really don't know how to beat it.
>>333153140
Why can't you jump it? As far as I remember, I've always tried to stay far enough away that I could neutral jump it. But you kind of have to expect it, since it comes out so fast, especially if you're an old fart like me.
>>333153318
The knee still hits you if you jump and are close enough, i get the whole idea of gief is to just keep him away but there seems to be so few options you have when he gets up close it's infuriating.
>>333152960
It's not a combo if the other guy can do something in between. Go into training mode and set the bot to block after the first hit and see what gets blocked and what does not.
im at 6500 right now just maining bridie been playing alex alot lately in battle lounge though
>>333153551
It's all about spacing and whiff punishing I feel. Depending on who you play, try to throw in V-Reversals to get him off you and reset the situation.
>>333152960
cause your execution is off. practice more QQ less.
Does anyone want to start up a /v/ lobby? We can all have a lot of fun!
>>333151505
The best feeling isn;t the crush counter that follows but just seeing the block animation and watching a shoto fly into the air. -33 or less on block (for MP DP) NIGGAS
>>333149050
>>333153884
>>333152960
Combo = hitting an opponent witha series of linkable/cancellable hits that they cannot do anything about once you get the first hit.
IF they manage to mash a reversal out (DP, normal, CA or anything else) during your 'combo' it wasn;t a combo. You either dropped a link or you didn;t cancel your special move properly.
Hit the lab and practice.
Set your training dummy to Block after first hit and see what hits and what he blocks. Watcha few combo videos, just basic ones to get an idea of what to try and see if you can combo it reliably 5, 10, 20, 50 times in a row.
Consistency is key.

Is it supposed to be funny? He's clearly new what kind of asshole would act like that during a match and then upload it to show off
>>333154506
Well of course he's new, he's playing Ken. You gonna defend the RQ too?
>>333154260
I lol'd, but you can't say that's not exactly what we were all like when we first started.
Crapcom better fix this rage quitting shit and soon, iv'e lost like 300 points tonight due to rage quitters i'm fucking mad.
>>333151359
Her only decent EX move is her fireball, and that disappears if she's hit.
Her EX grab is incredibly telegraphed and her EX bolt charge is highly punishable on block.
>ragequit
>casual match
who cares
>>333154834
The Ex bolt charge is ridiculously fast and has armor. One unsafe move from midscreen and you can land it without problems.
>>333141554
If you play fang and can't finish an entire match in 2 minutes you need to quit.
>>333154763
If they ragequit, it's because you didn't deserve them.
Learn to play, learn to counter the ragequitters, and a good combo to answer the ragequitting.

Yah not gettin any points from me.
Whens Yun, I'm tired of this bullshit.
Bring in some real kung fu here.
Reminder: Super Silver is the first time you're ever going to see people playing real fighting games.
Ultra Bronze is the gate keeper of complete random, mashing, roll back, and things that make no sense at all. It is the land of dumb and playing smart isn't going to help you unless you've maximized your crush counter potential.
You should have gotten out of Bronze while the game was still young and everyone was stuck together because bronze will continue to be suffering as retardation sets in harder than ever.
>Finally get out of Ultra bronze hell
>Immediately thrown back in due to shit connections on my next 5 matches.
Kinda annoyed right now.

What a faggot. At least pick Yang for something more interesting. Better yet pick any martial arts east asian character besides those two faggots.
Why aren't backdashes as good as in SF4 again?
50/50 games is a nightmare in SF5, I thought they would remove it, but I'm constantly forced to eat the grab since I can't backdash.
If you're playing ranked at all you're probably a shitter
Lobbies have better connections, no waiting between matches and you can learn a matchup better in a long set
>Play against a decent player.

>>333155143
>Play match well

You didn't play well then did you?
>>333155737
You're just bad bro and you don't understand what 50/50 is either.
Back dash is throw invincible. You literally need to git gud.
>>333155737
Just jab to counter grabs. Why the fuck would you backdash?
>>333155869
That's not necessarily true in SFV.
SFV you can spend a whole round AAing someone who doesn't stop jumping and because air resets in V don't lead to the greatest setups a lot of people just jump again.
If you miss 1 AA that person can land a 50% combo with ease on you.
So you can be playing well, but you guessed wrong once causing a snowball loss.
>>333151435
I have anxiety, but it goes away once you lose a few times. It's usually a "well that wasn't so bad" feeling. Getting destroyed kinda hurts, but you just have to accept that there are always going to be people that are better than you, and just focus on improving and doing the best you can.
>>333155930
Jabbing doesn't work asshole.

losing to scrubs is part of the process, if you're going to rq against them you will never be good.

best stage theme
>>333155970
How do we buff anti airs /v/?
>>333155930
Because mechanically the back dash is throw invincible. However if you get hit in back dash by any button that isn't a throw it counts as a counter hit.
He's just bad.
The real question is if he's trying to back dash after a knock down which is stupid no matter what the circumstances are.
>>333156029
Jab works 100% of the time unless you're Birdie since his jab went from 4 to 5 frames.
Neutral jump also works because it's 4 frames v the universal 5 frames on grab.
>>333149081
Ha ha based.
>>333156102
Bonus Stun damage.
>>333151359
>All her normals are safe as fuck.
All of her normals also require you to practically be sitting on their dick.
Laura has big problems in the neutral game. Even so, there's no denying her crazy 50/50s and frame traps.
I'd still probably take Mika over Laura.
>tfw don't enjoy SFV but play it anyways because it's the only game I can get IRL matches in.
I wish the people I knew played KOF or Guilty Gear instead.
>>333156102
Make them reliable
If AAs are going to do 1/5 the damage of a jump-in they need to work every time like they did in SF4
>game so dead that people literally recognize each other online because you only play with the same 50 people forever online
>>333156291
Laura doesn't have any 50/50 game play anon. She has one pseudo infinite based on a frame trap that's easily countered using a v-reversal and that's pretty much it.
>>333155848
Happens to everyone. Most of my friends are 3k+ fighting game vets but I still have that one friend who plays Ryu and mashes DPs at completely illogical moments. Combine that with a ton of shit talking and he takes way more games off us than he should.
>>333156251
>>333156315
Both of these would help quell the yolojump meta at the moment.
Also in SFIV jump-ins could result in being DP > Ultra or Supered. 2 Massive burst potentials in a single round made people not jump. Only 1 in SFV makes people way less scared.
GGfag and I just broke 1000LP over the weekend.
>>333156364
The amount of people you play against depends on rank honestly. The higher rank you are the more likely you are to get matched up against the same people because the pool is smaller.
Around 90% of the users are stuck in bronze and rookie.
Only around .5% of the users are in platinum.
around 2.5% are in gold.
I'm going to predict now that Nash is going to be considered mid-tier at best in a few months.
>>333139424
I've dropped SF after 3S. I've messed around a bit with USF4 but that game was fucking slow compared to UMvC3 so I've forgot about it.
How's SF5? Is it still hadouken/srk fighter like USF4?I'm not saying spamming projectiles and reversals is unbeatable strategy but such matches are fucking boring
>>333156525
> SF4
> super
> ever a variable
The only time anyone ever had super was if they were playing against shitters or never utilized FADC combos at any point.
>>333156550
fuck u 1000 up and down faggot
>Play Ryu and do ok
>Get bored on him and try Karin
>Super fun and she has lots of mix ups and juggles
>Fucking cannot handle getting rushed down
I wish I was good at SF, I liked playing as Karin in alpha but I really miss her parry and she feels sorta gimped compared some of the other easier characters.
>>333156312
At least the people you know IRL play something new. The ones I know only play Garo.
>>333156723
The fuck are you talking about, people had 4 stocks all the time. They just prefered to use it on FADC's.
>>333156692
Just bait the DP, crush counter, and pump out an optimum damage combo. It only takes one CC combo to scare most people off of wake up DPs.
I still honestly think Chun li is the best character in the game at the moment.
>>333156778
Congratulations, you can't read.
>>333156809
Everyone thinks that. The character that does pretty much everything is considered top tier, what a surprise.
>>333156737
So just be a scrub all your life, play the safe characters and mash that DP.
Go for the shotos.
Fucking idiot.
>>333156723
Having 4 bars in SFIV wasn't uncommon if I had not landed a proper hitconfirm all match I'd frequently use Oni's Super as an air to air.
>>333156862
So the point made in that post was totally irrelevant then? Nice.
>>333156737
A large number of the characters in SF5 have no proper reversal and struggle with rushdown. If you limit yourself to those that can deal with it, you'll be stuck playing shotos forever.
Learn to use the V-reversal.
>>333157059
Yeah I always forget I have that ability and when I get rushed I just start pressing buttons and all that practice of combos and shit goes out the window.
I need a disciprine.
I was 2500 today, now I'm down to 2350.
I either find stronger or weaker people than me. I'm fine with a stronger challenger, but when I've just fought three bronze that keep falling for retarded setups I find an ultra silver that sees right through my shit and wrecks me before I realize I have to play smarter. I guess I'm lacking flexibility.
IM SO FUCKING TIRED OF GIEF MASHING THAT CR LP
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
1. Still learning, i still get punished but fucking kens, karins or ryus
2. Stuck in 1200-1400, sometimes lower
3. I like his grabs and pokes. But learning how to be more offensive is difficult.
4. After maining Nash and get rekted by bronze/silver players, i decide to main Alex. Winning a match with a Power/JAIPER BOMBA feels really good.
>>333157328
I'm 4290, just got matched to the same laggy 2k Rashid 4 times in a row.
Won every match but it was no fun, I learned nothing and the rollback was awful. He was using the same dumb Rashid gimmicks every Rashid uses, didn't know his meaty timings and simply couldn't block crossups.
Alt f4'd that shit as soon as I saw I was matched to him for the 4th time.
>>333153884
as a Gief player, watching a shoto fly into the air on block is like Christmas morning
and not one of those Christmas mornings when everyone knows it's just a sham that won't actually keep the family together, but one of the real ones where everyone believes we'll be a family forever

1500 Lp Bison here, I generally beat silvers when I play them but God damn I lose to mashing hard.
I love the idea of alex, but when I go to play literally no character "clicks" except for Bison. Even if I understand general rules for the character, I play like shit with everyone else and I hate it. Anyone else experience this?
>>333158063
Maybe don't mash buttons on wakeup?
>>333158121
1500 Bison here too I'm the same way. My biggest problem is that I get wrecked under pressure. Specifically Ken's and Mika's give me the most problems.
596 LP, haven't played it much since like 3 days after its release, I ranked and deranked from bronze to rookie like 3 times and got mad that im so shit ; ;
>>333158121
I'd love to play Bison but my brain can't wrap itself around charge characters.
>>333158340
Everyone starts as a scrub. Even silver is generally pretty scrub-level. Most of all it takes a lot of mental honesty to admit what you're doing wrong, and then flexibility to actually fix your mistakes. Basically keep trying until you see your mistakes and adjust.
>>333158063
if you know he is going to do it, why don't you block it?
>>333158432
hold back or down back for 2 seconds, what is so complicated about it?
>>333158302
Nightmares. Mika I just try to poke from safe range and jump over the inevitable fully charged HP and it's over if she hits me, Ken I just try my hardest to not get greedy and keep momentum
>>333158432
I'm the exact opposite, I'm pretty much only good with charge characters. Vega doesn't make sense to me anymore, I'm just bad at cancelling into motion inputs
