But it's one of the few with a decent player base.

I suppose that's true but I almost never do random online matches, I play against from this website usually. Or there's others forums and communities to find matches where you can talk with the people you're playing against

That sounds like a lot of work, honestly. I can't pick and choose when I play. I'd like to play some obscure NEOGEO game from 1994 on an obscure online emulator client, but I don't have the time to set up matches like that. I guess I'm just glad I've got a good internet connection and I enjoy SFV.

You can literally hop on Fightcade and play random people from all over the world at most times of day in a ton of old rear end games.

It's not hard.

Yeah, I don't get the idea that Fightcade is so much effort because I have no difficulty getting matches in Super Turbo at all at basically any time of the day.

like seriously just pick a random bum with an acceptable ping and shoot them a challenge, if that's a step too much for you then lol

Been having a blast with Xrd even though I am bad at it. Fightcade is also a great way to (very easily) fight people on older games like Super Turbo, 3s or 98, but I haven't been on there much.

Setting up fightcade is extremely easy and probably takes less time than it would for SF V to get past the loading screen

I live near Georgia Tech so I can just drive over to it every friday and play Melty and GG with anime fighter nerds if I want to or get my rear end wrecked by bebop in revelator because he seems to always be up for that

Oh also whatever old rear end game Zand likes playing on Fightcade, because it more often than not is COTA or XvSF two of some of the most fun fgs. It's a shame I can't play CvS2 with anyone though, i like that game a lot and even bothered trying to figure out roll cancelling but there's no way to play it with others outisde of anime cons or fighting game tourneys.

If your reason for liking SFV is because you can just press start, then your bar for good video games is pretty loving low.

All you have to do is lurk this thread for a bit to figure this out, but you'll find that the most devoted fighting game fans are the ones criticizing SFV the most.

e: I myself am DEFINITELY not one of them; I'm a bad.

"I play SF5 because it's the only game where I can just hop online and play people" has never made any sense to me, do you live in south africa or something?

I can hop onto xrd right now and get into a match with someone in under two minutes. Despite having way more players SF5 actually takes ~longer~ because it has long as hell loading times before/after every game

Well, South America but I can relate. I need to set up playdates to play Xrd or send a letter of introduction to play online without getting all my matches refused. Melty's the same but I already did that song and dance. The only game where I could get matches consistently was MKX, of all things. There IS something to be said about just opening the game and finding random matches easy.

I really want to get the newest GG. I've not really played it since XX, though. Is it easy to jump into now? I skipped over Blazblue et al.

it has the best tutorial of any 2d fighting game and it also very specifically took the series back to the XX/reload era in terms of feel and mechanics

as long as you don't fall into the trap of trying to learn combos instead of neutral/setups first and get really annoyed, you should be able to learn it relatively easily

SF4 let us unlock them just by playing the goddamn game. $10 for a bunch of ugly palette swaps in a fighting game is fine. What the gently caress man.

loving how? I get literally no matches on Xrd even when I set literally no filters, and I live in Texas. Also, I just discovered that Alex shares Ryu's garbage talent for beating jump kicks by briefly jabbing his elbow out at shoulder height, and it looks just as goddamn stupid when he does it as when Ryu does.

/\/\/\ The sad part is the risk/reward of that AA is all loving off. If you hit, you get a jab, ad a reset opportunity that you could still lose. If you mistime it you'll eat a jump-in combo for 45%. The risk/reward is in your favor to just keep jumping. Also leave Alex alone. :( His AA is pretty bad when he doesn't have a psychic ex knee stampede or a full-screen f.hp

1.) s.lp

3.) ex knee stampede
Are you counting c.hp? It kind of sucks in this game outside of hard/cc hit combos... and do you mean d.hp in the air? That beats Ryu's j.lk? :psyduck:
It's weird to go back and play 3S where c.hp was a good button.

I think ryu lk is a problem against all the cast really, but I think his cr.hp is good because it follows up with ex-knee or non-ex knee if it's in the corner, or maybe if it's really close.

His cross-chop can make people think twice about mindlessly pressing lights to anti-air.

The only character I will complain about in this game when it comes to obnoxious jump-ins is cammy. gently caress those divekicks, whatever they're called.
