It's not even Marn, Mika is 100% successful because of unblockable setups and inconsistent air-reset landing locations. There's legit instances where she will land behind you but it teleports her back to the other side. She breaks the rules set out by the rest of the games cast.
She's just buggy.

Staying in with alex isn't easy either because all of his mixups are unsafe and he doesn't have a 3 frame normal. Most if not all of his highest damage either comes from a hard read or a punish. I'd say he's a mid tier character but he would be complete ass without the high stun and damage.
>>333471369
That doesn't negate my point. That's like saying Birdie doesn't need his Killing Head because Bullhead does a fuckton.
You guys are buying Nash's new costume right? Also got to do that hard survival with the costume.

Don't jump.
If far away, deflect doukens with flash chop and build meter.
If he starts approaching charge l.slash elbow to keep him away. If he jumps at you st.jab him out of the air and go in. If his jump is at a range where it will crossup you're doing it WRONG!
If you have meter and are far away enough ex.headbutt punish his doukens.

>>333472094
Check your enemies often
- Trying to walk away from you mid-distance? Slide them.
- They like to throw tech? Abuse st.HK and df.HP
- Mashind DP? Keep distance and punish with your strongest CC combo.
CC st.HK, cr.HP xx V-Trigger, st.HP xx MK Scissors, EX Inferno, EX Headstomp is the most optimal one for two bars. Replace MK Scissors with Psycho Blast in the corner (any strength).
- They like to mash when they feel out of range? Start frametrapping with cr.MP xx MP Psycho Blast, cr.MP xx HP Psycho Blast and my absolute favorite - st.HP xx HP Psycho Blast - great range against mashers
- Bison's dash is really unsafe. Dash gimmicks like dash-throw, dash-st.LP-throw, dash-st.HK can work against sleepy opponents and really defensive people, but most good players react to dash animation and punish it with low normal into special
If you hit them with Psycho blast in the corner, you can cancel it into V-Trigger and juggle with a normal to reset them. There are some dash gimmicks after this reset (resetting them with cr.MK and dashing keeps you on the same side, cr.MP puts you in the corner), but these things are unsafe.
A bit on anti-airs
Neutral jump j.LK is godlike. You can beat headstomps and mistimed devil reverses in mirror matches with it, it's fast and has good range. I really love using it when opponent is in the corner and tries to jump out.
j.MP is great anti-air as well. You get most damage doing j.MP, land, j.MP,j.MP, land, Psycho Blast/Scissors. But doint one j.MP into slide works as well.
If you see them trying to cross you up, jump back and do j.LP
V-Skill works well against Dhalsim and his teleport gimmicks, against Karin doing upkicks into overhead (punish the overhead with parry) and against Mika's dropkick. You can go into super if you hit them with V-Skill fireball or into scissors if you have charge for some extra damage.
>I end up using cr mp wayyy to much

>>333475561
Its an easily forgettable thing, the game is surprisingly fast paced because a 2hit combo could potentially be 30-35% of your life.
Also something nice to know: forward grab is your friend. Not command throw hyper bomb or headbutt, not backgrab either, just grab. Do that, if it works which it probably will because teching in this game is a 50/50 between read and reaction, then charge l.sladh elbow and do it exactly at the time you hear the quick rise voice from any character. The easy way to learn the timing is going practice and having dummy neutral quick rise, you'll hear their voice everytime they start to quick rise.
Do the l.slash elbow right there and it'll hit so meaty, you'll be able to combo into cr.mp. See webm related for combo possibility after. Sweep also works after vtrigger.
Be careful of your meaty game. DP mashing will beat you if they got a read on you.Took so long to reply because I'm literally retarded at webms.
>>333473129

>>333477564
>fd.hp after V-trigger cancel from a max range cr.mp
Fuck me, I've been trying to find a good link from that activation set-up all day and that's the one normal I haven't tried. Now I don't have to spend meter to combo from that.
>>333478763
f.HP is still no good if you try to do it max range and you hit a crouching opponent so if you wanna do raw cr.mp into v.trigger the only thing other than ex.slash elbow that works is sweep. If hit your cr.mp while they're standing and its max range, walk just a tiny bit forward then do f.HP, I also do this in the webm, its a tight link but not impossible, the l.slash elbow in the webm though, if it hits, will force stand on opponent so its pretty good.

I kinda lost the flair for the game because of the lack of videos or typical combos to find online, no one plays Rashid as far as I know, and the videos of top tier players are usually just doing things on another level for me to even comprehend.
The mechanics of SFV is so fucking stupid, the fuck is the point of crush counter and rewarding mindless offense, pushing the right button at the right time can get you fucked because of how the normals work for tons of free damage.
Vskills and vtrigger are just as stupid. even more so some are completely useless while some are godly

>>333483697
Been playing a lot of him lately and I feel the exact opposite to your opinion. Birdie looks much faster to me and a momentum breaker with his cans/bananas and his cr.jabs. Once those jabs start, Alex literally has to double guess on what to do in order to get in and if he chooses wrong, worst case scenario is he'll punished, other bad guesses will just keep him out and Birdie can just start jabbing again.
>>333483912

>>333484137
Other matches might seem better at a glance because Alex has safe pressure but I assure you he needs just as much work as Birdie and one random move is all it takes to fuck up your momentum.
The way I see the matchup between them is either one has to start something, do some damage then turtle like a motherfucker to get the other to come to him. I really don't like how it plays out.
So what am I supposed to do as Alex if I'm against a Nash that just goes in and presses all his fast buttons up in my face aside from v-reversal?
>>333484485
You have LP and LK buttons that link into sweeps/resets.
Also Alex has a lot of trades, so if Nash is about to do some massive unsafe crescent kick, approach when it's almost over and take 50-80 damage to deal out 100
