I was screwing around at work today and made a quiz that helps people pick a SFV main. It's by no means perfect logic-wise (mainly used my own understanding of the game + the prima guide + popular consensus) but hopefully it can serve as a starting guide for players who are like 'WHO DO I MAIN':

The logic is all dumped right there inside the page so feel free to tear it apart.

Should have a question that asks if you care that the character is trash because it gave me Laura (should have been Birdie because I know it in my heart he is my soulmate)

The responses push a character's suitability up but don't negatively affect other characters, which is maybe something I should add to make it tighter.

e.g. Saying "I dont need a fireball" boosts your suitability for characters like Zangief and R. Mika but doesn't affect your Ken rating negatively.

Chances are the other questions made it seem like you were a good match for Ken and fireball-less characters didn't rate well in your other responses.

quiz gave my ryu because i voted for all the bells and whistles for a scrub level player but i have a hard time creating pressure with him. when i chose offensive and deprioritized the special moves i got birdie and cammy. they seem like polar opposites and each plays about 1/2 of ryu's game much better than him.
I'm gonna try them out!

I don't really see the need for alex, Birdie Mika Laura zangief are already a spectrum of grappler types.

But i'm just upset because there is no viper or poison and we dont know where juri is coming in this 6 months.

quiz gave me 3 characters that 100% fit my style of play: dictator, dhalsim, and birdie. i don't play them because they are all really good characters, but great quiz.

There's also a lot of questions that are somewhere in the middle like "do you want a reversal?" "yeah wouldn't hurt" that counts out a lot of characters and it should really add some fraction of a point to anyone who has one.

i think the graphic with the silhouettes that was released when they announced the dlc is probably the order. it started with alex then guile then rog then the 4th and 5th were ibuki and iuri but i don't remember the order and urien was last.

His overalls were much better. He looks like Birdie from the waist down now.

EDIT: I guess that also has to do with the fact that he's much bulkier around the midsection now.

I like bad characters too but I also don't only play them. (well bedman is actually good, amane is the only blaze blue character I'm comfortable with even though he has like 1-2 advantageous match ups and even those are 'lol don't get hit in an anime game or u ded' type match ups. he's just so fab and weird that i love it)

But then again usually they are charming gimmicky enough that I'm fine. I'm fine with casually loving around with laura, because something about this game feels eerily over simplistic if you catch my drift? Like even the most complex technical skill might be walking slightly forward in combos and finding the right tk distance for dhalsim (until I found out the inputs are SO lax you can just press the punches late instead of using a tk motion) It seems like resets are all you need to learn. (in terms of more advanced input practicing etc)

Maybe challenge mode will show me what I dont get about rashid and laura. Like how they are complete characters.

ugh can we just loving skip guile and balrog?

do we need guile right now? can you guys just use nash and not use his vtrigger or super.

Balrog just jab with birdie and occasionally use his HCF (qcf?) P.

well i picked up necalli who i actually think is real real good, but i guess most people don't see it that way. also fang cause i do miss charge characters. the real reason i wanted to play laura is that i've never really played a character that relies on setups to the degree that she does, and i wanted to force myself to work with that. learned some stuff, will keep playing her cause i like her kit. her bad matchups are just real, real bad.

also picked up fang and i love him but i do not think i could be really competitive with him

No, but they've been around forever, used to deal in Neogeo and arcade poo poo, and often are visible at EVO. They're not some fly-by-night operation.

Would you say fang is fun?

I find that he feels kinda boring because his poison vs say, bang, elizabeth (p4a) or testament for example feels like its his primary method of damage as opposed to him being a cool character who also has poison as a damage tool.
