Oh hey Hobojim and any other Necalli players: in case you missed me sharing this awhile back, here is a very useful punish guide with Necalli that has a recommended punish for most moves against every character.

Yeah, that's been my bible when I can't figure out how to punish something. It's tremendously useful and I hope other characters have something similar.

Speaking of other characters, FANG is garbage. Terrible damage, comboing into fireball is REALLY negative ON HIT, and his normals are mostly only +1 at best, but he's got a four frame jab as his fastest normal so I hope you like trading during frame traps against characters with 3f jabs. His poison damage ticks way too slowly, too. What a strange character. He does have a sick-rear end mixup off of an anti-air cr.HP though, you can cancel the first hit of it into either light or medium roll to get a left-right mixup. He's no Abel, but it's something. FANG would probably do well against lower-level players who jump a lot and can't deal with mixups off of that alone, but if I'm actually going to use him (spoilers: I won't) I'll need to come up with some good frametraps that might work against the Ryus, Mikas and Necallis of the internet. His meterless combo DOES do a good amount of stun though, but without crush counters you can't even get over 400 damage in a CA combo.

Another thing I noticed that I hadn't before: You can't input back charge moves by going from db to df in this game. Considering Necalli has a back charge move I'm surprised this hasn't come up before, but I was trying to do some fun stuff by holding down charge while doing FANG's back charge move and it doesn't work. I've only really messed around with charge characters in KoF; is this normal in SF? I thought you could hold flash kick charge while doing sonic booms, but I've never actually used Guile so I hadn't really tested it.

Edit: Huh, now I can only get the cr.HP xx roll to cross under regardless of which button I press. Maybe it's timing related or I just got lucky, I don't know. There goes my fun.

I'm not sure I understand, you can do db -> f for charge moves.

e: Oh wait I think I see, you want to maintain a down charge throughout all the frames of the forward charge move

Yes, but you can't do db -> df for charge moves, keeping down charge so you can then go d -> u and do it immediately. You lose down charge if you go db -> f.

Gotcha. That's lame as gently caress. Leona in KoFXIII can do this and it's integral to some of her combos, and the charge time in that game is super quick anyway.

It's a cool thing that Guile's always had so don't be surprised when he can't do it anymore because "character diversity." Also Urien will probably have none of his cool stuff he used to have either, but I think we all knew that was coming anyways.

For whatever reason, something just clicked inside me and I went from around 900 LP to 1600 in the span of an evening and two 5 win streaks. I also completely crapped all over a 2700 LP Necalli so that helped.

Only 400 LP away from silver rank so if I keep grinding I'll hit silver this week, especially since I have friday off. Pretty soon I'll be out of scrub town!

Also apparently something awoke in kbrad too, because his Cammy was pretty crappy but had a huge improvement at Final Round.

It sucks that SF5's servers will be down tonight, but luckily this place is only 10 min away from my apartment so I think I'm good

You could do a lot of poo poo with Guile. He's been a pretty wacky character as far as charging tech goes, since these games have always been filled with happy accidents like that.

Well, used to be anyways.

Idk about SF2, but in SF4 you maintain down charge through some wacky poo poo and get double flash out of a sonic boom. I'm not entirely sure if you can basic flash kick after it, but I wouldn't doubt it.

I think I just realized that his name is supposed to be pronounced Er-ien but I always pronounced it Yer-ien, like urine. Kinda like how Uranus is supposed to be pronounced "er-in-us" instead of "your anus".

But basically I figured he was always pissed off because he was named after pee

Yeah it owns. I'm so lucky to go play fighting games in an actual arcade w/ friends vs. having to be an online warrior in bumfuck Oklahoma or whatever.

On the flip side, you lived in Fayettenam and I can't blame you for wanting to get the gently caress outta there. If you lived in Greensboro\High Point\Winston or Raleigh\Durham you'd still probably be here!

Playing online will never, ever compare to playing with actual people in person and that applies to way more than just fighting games. It's really kinda sad that local multiplayer is becoming a thing of the past and only fighting games and Nintendo games are keeping that alive. I don't play modern multiplayer FPS games but most of them don't even include 4-player splitscreen anymore and that's just hosed up and sad.

Congrats Gammatron! It always feels nice when you get a decent streak going and things are working out. In the betas I had a 14 game winning streak, which is by far the longest streak I've ever had in a fighting game that wasn't a set against one person. You'll hit that silver sooner rather than later, I'm sure. We should play a few games sometime, I'm always up for a few sets.

Also I'm jealous of your local scene.

Definitely, I just gotta figure out that discord thingy. I'm still pretty rear end, but I'm less rear end than before. I typically don't play online much because I have a lot of local friends and when I do, it's usually with them.

I'm usually on a kind of weird cusp where I'm like, semi-casual, semi-competitive because typical non-FGC normies think I'm some kind of insane supermutant who can actually do combos and stuff but I'm also very lazy and ADHD and never practice as much as I should and typically go 0-2 in tournies b\c I'm bad

I also got bored of SF4 and quit it multiple times throughout its lifespan for years at a time. Before the launch of SF5 there was like a 2+ year period where I didn't watch streams or go out to tournaments or really give much of a poo poo, but honestly I wasn't the only one and was probably in the majority here

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
The March Patch will be a small update that changes the menus that inform you that the store and story mode are coming in March to say that they're coming in April instead.

It will be released on March 31st.

If a character comes out like, the day before a tournament, they could just, I dunno, not download the character yet and have the character available at the next one after people have to time to try it out.

You don't even need a soft ban, just don't download him yet. AFAIK they're not doing any balance changes to existing characters either so NBD
