I like the current balance of anti airs vs jump ins. They took away the universal options of invincible back dash, and focus attacks. So now you are forced to anti air or eat the pressure. The light button anti airs do very little damage, and reverse the pressure. That's a fair price to pay for the big fat jump in combo your opponent was attempting.

When "press jab butan" always works it feels dumb. Necalli's seems like a mistake but Chun and Sim's were clearly designed to have anti-air frames.

Yo any tips on getting in on Fang with Zangief? Hardly anyone plays him so it doesn't come often but he puts me on tilt bad. I can only poke him with dash st. hp or st. mk between his medium/light projectile spam which i can't do anything after at which point the spam begins again.

Right, this wasn't because of the death of arcades or the lack of a good console port or the removal of everyone's favorite characters from 2, nah it was the Jab anti airs

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
Jab anti-airs were "good" in 3s for entirely different reasons and trying to imply it's because jumpins had terrible hitboxes or the jabs themselves had good anti-air hitboxes is disingenuous as hell. Makoto has the best standing jab anti-air and the hitbox is barely above the hurtbox in her hand, and way below her head. Jumpins also had hitboxes that extended outward or below their hurtboxes and there wasn't a giant horizontal hurtbox slapped onto the bottom third of every jump attack just for the gently caress of it.

Regardless of the reason, my point is that "jabs shouldn't work as an anti air" is a nonsense statement that doesn't take into account the entire context of the game.

What exactly is the problem created by jabs anti airing in this game? You wish jumpins were harder to deal with? You feel jabs are overpowered?

I mean if you don't see whats boring about the majority of characters having braindead anti-airs and the dynamic of low risk jumpins that are also really bad.

I'd prefer they buff jumpins and make anti-airs more situational (this could mainly be fixed by removing the giant hurtboxes from jumpins) but increasing the reward. Crush counters seem tailor made for it but they realized that with how terrible jumpins are, consistent crush counter anti-airs into a combo would be too good. The only character that really kept it was Dhalsim and its on an extremely situational button that you have to react with early and it's cool and good which is a rarity in this game.

You could of course have "reliable" anti-air buttons that don't crush counter as well! You know, variety.

Reading this reminds me that, in the Zangief trailer, they showed Gief's crouching hard punch crush countering Bison into an ex air SPD. I was sad that at release, this was no longer a thing I could do. :(

Characters with decent pokes (Chun especially) are going to destroy you just by pressing buttons from their jump-in range.

Here a question.

My region is pretty much isolated from the world being Southern Africa. So I never get matchups with overseas regions which is fine because it would be a laggy mess.
However I have pretty much added most of this regions players to my favourites (80+ players , some active and some not too much ) so we can game, and I can see what they are doing. edit: god the favorite section sucks

Now when I play ranked all I seem to get is the same 3 players all the time. But when I look in my favourites I see that other players I have never played are also playing ranked. Yet I never get games with them.

If its a connection issue with all these players that would make sense , however I doubt so many people in my region have a bad connection when alot of them I play CS with.

Now since my region doesn't have many players, matched with me, I have only managed to get to 1900LP. Does having this ranking limit me from players who are lower ( I say lower because I have yet to fight anyone in my region with a higher rating than me ).

I have opened all my ports for the game and for steam. I have had games against PC and PS4. So its not that.

Anyone else having issues like this?
Seems like I am missing a whole bunch of opponents in ranked.

Edit: The last opponent I fought 18 times in a row, over 2 days.

The same thing is happening to me and my region isn't isolated at all, it's in the middle of loving Europe. I have a couple of friends with the same problem too. In my case I play with the same 3 guys (who I beat every time, and they disconnect on purpose every time) whenever I look for an opponent, can't ever connect to lounges, no one can ever connect to mine.

It doesn't depend on the region, and it certainly doesn't depend on my NAT configuration since I've never had any issue in other peer to peer games/programs. I suppose Capcom hosed something up and now some NAT users just can't play SFV.

It's amazing to me that a month ago people were saying poo poo like this:

Pomp posted:

The dps also do piss damage when used as an antiair, half the anti-air normals are loving awful at their job, and the reward for doing either successfully is so low that there's almost no reason to not do random jump ins.

But all of a sudden the threat of a jab is so much that there's no reason to ever jump.

For a ton of characters, jab isn't even close to their best anti-air either.

Like do I really give a poo poo what Pomp says or said at one point, what the gently caress does that have to do with what I'm saying now and what is easily observable.

Maybe you can try to understand what I'm saying instead of arguing against points other people made or things you just made up on the spot.

What exactly have I made up?

I'm not sure it's worth arguing anymore since it's clear there's a large contingent in this thread who will happily glom onto any aspect of SF5 that's different from the previous games and insist that it's yet another piece of evidence the game is garbage, completely ignoring the context of V's mechanics.

serious business
I dont see the problem honestly, New Generation was critically panned and no one wanted to play it over MK/vs/alpha/SF2 arcades. A large part of love for SF2 (at least in the casual fanbase) was rooted in refusal to switch to SF3. By the time 3S came out, arcades were all but dead in the mainstream eye. At least that's how I remember it.

Just need to wait for the Alex update to see what we're in for in the long run as far as "finishing the game over the next few years" goes.

sf3 died in asia because that game loving sucks. it didnt get popular until the series was over and dead for years.
