Does anybody have the SFV guide handy? The google doc I have bookmarked shows Necalli's s.HP and cr.HP as 9 frames of startup for each, just wondering if that's accurate. Trying to work out punishes for Alex moves and if the 9 frames is right then Dantarion's got a mistake or two in his alex data.

I just tested it with Mika's alt and it still works. If you run into issues, let me know and I'll try to fix it.

Yup, Prima guide says it's 9f.

Yep, both are 9 frames according to the guide.

BTW the guide has added alex's moves but not combos or strategy yet.

With the new rollback netcode, this is one of the best online systems in a fighting game to date.

Is this ironic? I'd prefer sf4 netcode, though of course it would be best if they just fixed the obvious problem with their rollback.

Why am I having so much trouble doing Alex's s.lp x flash chop

http://watissf.dantarion.com/sf5/boxdox3/#/stats/ALX/v1_2

Well, according to the frame data, LP Flash Chop has 13 frames of start-up.

Standing LP is 4/3/7 and +4 on hit.
That means you need to cancel on the very first active frame (literally as fast as possible) in order to have the 13 frames necessary to combo.
On counter-hit, standing jab gets an extra 2 frames of hit-stun, there-by making it a little bit easier with a 3-frame window.

Effort post incoming!

I got trounced by an Alex on ranked because I had no idea when to press buttons, so I worked out punishes for Necalli, maybe it'll help someone (looking at you, bhsman):

None of his lights or mediums are punishable, except for his f.MP.

Normals
s.HP: -3, can punish with s.lp xx ex stomps but only from point blank.
s.HK: -4, same as above but can do it from much farther out because of how much this moves Alex forward. Can fit two s.lp's in there before cancelling from most ranges, but maybe not worth it.

cr.HP: -9 according to Dantarion, but unpunishable by Necalli's cr.HP or s.HP. Can punish with the standard s.mk, cr.mk xx light slashes though.
cr.HK: -12? cr.MP xx light slashes from anything but max range, same with your own sweep. Can also use your CA on block if you have it.

f.MP: -4, s.lp, s.lp xx ex stomps to punish.

Specials
Any qcf+P that isn't EX: -4, s.lp or c.lp xx EX stomps.
EX qcf+P is safe on block, looks to be -1. Dantarion has it listed as -4, but it isn't.

b, f+LK: -4, but pushes far enough away that Necalli's jabs won't hit, and that probably goes for most of the cast.
b, f+MK or HK: -6 and -7 respectively, cr.mp xx light slashes works well.
b, f+KK: -11, cr.HP xx medium slashes is a great punish for this. This works from full screen, so range doesn't matter.

d, u+K (not ex): -5, can punish with s.MK bnb or cr.MP xx light slashes, but you have to press the button A LOT earlier than you think you do. Gonna need to practice this one.

CA: - a shitton, can do cr.HP xx medium slashes or walk in and do a s.MK bnb, or do your own CA.

That's all I could find. I need to play some sets against an Alex sometime to get used to it.

Granted, around the 3rd beta there was some real praise for how smooth some games were, and what few games I've played online have generally been good. The issue is that the bad matches are real bad and there isn't enough consistency.

I'd like to lightly choke every single PS4 player that's using WI-FI.

Also, I'd like to shove a broomhandle up the anus of whomever coded the matchmaking settings. When I say "5 only" that means I don't want to fight someone in the Bahamas on a ps4, on wifi, with exactly 1 bar of connectivity.

The patch changed the default connection preference from Any to 3-5. I've had bad luck with that, but 4-5 seems like a good balance between connection and time between matches.

There's a serious argument that can be made that SF5 is very plain and boring, but honestly, I think I prefer plain and boring over stupid frustrating bullshit. After 7 or however many years of playing SF4, I welcome Street Fighter "going back to its roots". Most players seem to just be glad this game isn't SF4.

I don't really understand this argument. First because it implies a game has to be deliberately dubbed down in order to be plain/not full of bullshit but it goes a lot deeper than that

why would you willingly play a mediocre game when lots of good games exist and have people that play them

why would you willing play a mediocre game when you could play a bad one and get sick thrills from how stupid it is

unless your answer is "I'm justin wong/gootecks/combofiend/other and capcom money trickling down into my maw is how I make my living" you gotta look deep into your psyche on this one and see if you're really making the best use of your time wasting.

I don't think you can really praise this games balance when A: it's only had like three months of total playtime and B: capcom constantly nerfs characters and anything that develops

I suppose making every single character interchangable dogshit and devolving the game into a bunch of super linear "he's using thing X so I do thing Y to beat it, then I go into The Only Followup" moments is technically really balanced because you can pick anyone and do about as well, but that's not really an impressive feat of game design.

Their point was that they, perhaps to their own surprise, prefer the more simplistic gameplay, and if that is indeed the case telling them to play a more complicated game is missing the point entirely.
