lol i will lose the laura mirror to laura's who are waaaaaaaaaay worse than me. every time i play a laura, i feel like i am playing the character completely wrong, despite winning way more than i lose. other laura's just seem to press buttons all day with no cares in the world. blech. so salty.

i really need to learn some actual combos and resets with her, but i just wanna get to gold rank so i can not touch ranked for a long time and go run endless sets forever

Any tips for how I should handle fireballs and other long range attacks with Birdie? The glide is slow and jumping seems like a really bad idea most of the time.

If you do the slide on reaction at the fireballs on mid-long range you should go under them, it is pretty hard to time. I suggest learning the honest way of neutral jumping and blocking while slowly walking them into the corner, dolphin dive now and then

I think Laura is supposed to be played like a nut character, just do poo poo until people prove they can stop it. People say Abel, I'm starting to think she's T.Hawk.

Laura's got a little Makoto too if you ask me. You gotta make hard reads.

laura is 80% hard reads. really i think my whining there is more about how i just feel so powerless punishing stuff. the ONLY button i feel safe hitting after i block something is stand jab, which has garbage range and leads to very little. people can just hit buttons against me and i gotta take a lot of chances to stop them.

the top 10 for this game is pretty hilarious right now. 4 bisons, 2 dhalsims, 2 nashes, a mika (!), and pr balrog's vega.

bison is legit dumb.

not caring to hit or miss.
So that you dishonor him before the judges



I'm not sure if sharing names is a thing here, but I'd be down to play with some goons. I'm still learning Ryu as a starter character, but I've been picking it up pretty quickly.

Does anyone have a good list of B&B combos for Cammy, or at least know if Bafael's video is still accurate? I'm really not feeling Ryu and am wondering if I wouldn't have a better time with a slightly more aggressive character.

I disagree. I think he just happens to be fleshed out and have multiple good options.

Like guile works 2 specials because he has good normals and the specials are good.

Laura and rashid don't have super solid either so they feel gimmicky.

I gotta run, but good games!

You made a really good adjustment early on when you stopped jumping in at me. Just gotta work on your ground game a little and you'll be 90% of the way there!

The combos should still be correct, damage and stun values might be slightly off though.

meh. i have the same problem with him that i have with a few characters. they have a bunch of stuff that is "unsafe" technically, but laura can't punish any of it. really i just want them to give laura something to punish adequately. her fastest normals are all absolute poo poo and don't have the range to punish anything.

close to just playing chun so i can get to gold

to be fair to him, it was a really dumb move for capcom to have ranked be the only online format in sfv.

He also has very weird safe stuff.

His fake overhead looking attack is not only safe but is included in a target combo, with no counter hit on 5MP can be slowed enough to get the fatal from the 3HP :shrug: yet rashid and laura rely on the enemy loving up lol.

But I also use bison so I'm happy.

he's not dumb he's just not half baked like everyone outside the top 5 is after all the nerfs over the beta.

Instead of nerfs they should have given the cast more moves or something.

birdie has a decent set of tools too, well besides his command grabs. But his 2HP >HP anti air is still delicious


Also gently caress survival. I don't know about others but for low health characters its not just tedious but unfun.

It'd be less bad if you were given some HP each fight by default.

I have no idea what I am doing in almost any given situation.
Any top tips for drilling anti air? I've got my "one button AA when they jump at you" down, but I really want to get in on the "meeting them in the air and making them sorry" game.

Is that just a question of pre-empting and going up first, or are there some top level tricks at play here?
