Is Juri bad or something, I've barely touched her since I got a ps4 and revelator but all I hear is that she's the latest in a line of mediocre DLC characters.

Her cr.hp anti-air changes properties in v-trigger apparently.

Like of all the threads to criticize someone for posting really detailed hitbox data, why would you do it in a fighting game thread, where it's basically guaranteed that someone will care?

Her V-trigger also opens up a bunch of target combos which is pretty cool. She's the first DLC character I got and the first time I've thought about switching away from Karin

I know this has been harped on to death but the fact that you have to unlock colors for costumes you purchase with real money, plus the fact that you have to unlock colors for each costume separately, plus the fact that you have to play a terrible survival mode to do it, all of that is really super awful.

theyve heard the feedback and are providing a helpful microtransaction to bypass all of this.

I think people should be encouraged to play fighting games, should be warned about SFV's problems, but if they enjoy it then let them v:shobon:v I do feel there's too much negativity here and it's the only reason I read this thread nowadays, but it's getting to the point where it's less funny and more depressing.

if this thread was filled with only the good things about sf5 it would be 4 pages long and archived after the second beta, never to be remade again. this thread should exist as a warning and a place where myself and others can encourage peeps interested in this game to play pretty much anything else. especially rev

The former is not what I'm trying to advocate and the latter only works if posters aren't basically bullied for talking about SFV things in the SFV thread, not talking about you specifically but it's been happening repeatedly and I feel this achieves the exact opposite of encouraging people to play any fighting game period.

I like SFV because Chun Li is cool and fun to play and has like 4 viable AA options. She's got good normals and it's fun to head stomp people. Maybe y'all would have more Fun as Chun (Li).

Chun is literally the only character I had fun with in SFV. I still think it's amazing that her toolset is considered Best In The Game tho, and that says a lot about The Game she's in.

also all the non-story costumes can only be bought with real money and theyre in-game singular purchases, meaning no reduced price bundles exist and theyll never go on a sale.

If this thread was a snapshot of the FGC attitude in general, I probably wouldn't be enthused to try out any other fighting game.

I played SF2 and MK2 casually and then no other 2D fighting games for years and then decided to jump back in with SF5. It's janky but as a complete scrub I'm having fun with it. I know Revelator is supposed to come out for PC sometime maybe but since right now is when I'm wanting to play fighting games I decided to pick up Xrd Sign to see if I like Guilty Gear. I've been sitting in a ranked queue for almost 10 minutes and it has yet to find me an opponent. I think maybe I'll just request a refund on Xrd while I still can and go back to playing the game that has actual players.

You can combo off it, but you need the right spacing and it might only work in or near the corner. It's a pretty lame change.

I totally understand the frustration about not having games right at your fingertips in xrd as opposed to SFV. Xrd is super fun though and it's much easier to get a game once you have a few people on your friends list that you can poke when you want a game. I'm always looking for more PC peeps to play with so add me at

steamcommunity.com/id/giogadi

There is also the xrd discord where there is almost always someone up for a game:

I've played plenty of fresh newbies on that discord.

Well, I already put the refund request through but maybe I will give it another go when Revelator comes out for PC. After doing all the tutorials I'm a little overwhelmed by all the different mechanics though.

No problem - if you need a free fix of online fighting games, you can also check out fightcade. There's always loads of people playing the bigger games there.

They literally just say "hey wow this game is bad"

Because beyond frame data and poo poo, the game is hosed on a more basic level.

You can enjoy it but you can't deny how much it got wrong.

One thing that shocks me a little is that the season pass doesn't even include the stages. That's pretty shocking given that the season pass is $30.
