Sometimes I wish I was less competitive. I absolutely hate losing which makes me practice a lot and try to improve, but equally losing fights online often makes me spiral really badly to the point that I stop having fun. Eventually just getting back to the rank I originally started at becomes a relief and I don't want to play any more for a long while. If I could just make myself chill out and take each fight as it comes I'd be a lot better as a player and be able to practice and play a lot more consistently.

But if I were less competitive would I even be interested in playing this game to begin with?

Beyond meaningless thoughts,
not meaningless tbh, evaluating these kinds of things for yourself does help you become a better player. I know I've posted this before, even recently, but playing and competing in fighters and any game really is heavily reliant on mindset.

if you get in a funk online grinding points, take a break, do training mode or just stop playing for a while. that's not a healthy mindset that's going to let you think clearly through problems and it's just not conducive to winning

Seems to me wakeup 3f jab is more dangerous anyways lol

If I get hit by a wakeup 3f it's because I haven't practiced my command throw timing enough.

How difficult can it be to reliably hit a 2f window anyway?

Current Steam sale is pretty accurate with it's ranking of Street Fighter games.

No cheap shot is too cheap for me.

I wonder if SFxT installs a backdoor into your system to make you grind costume colors.

Had a super interesting two sets in a row this morning as FANG vs. a higher ranked Urien. I won the first two games when he tried to outgun me in a zoning war, matched up with him again and he won two in a row by making really good adjustments putting buttons in my face and doing a lot of shoulder charges to stay inside and ex headbutts to get out of my sweep->stuff set ups. I wish the game had an option to keep rematching if you both agree and maybe like, taking it out of ranked after 2-3 sets or something. I don't think I'm going to see that match up much but it was real cool to see someone adjust and know how to stop my poo poo.

There are still people playing SF4. I can usually pretty reliably find a couple of Europeans playing Ranked in any given day.
Not sure how many Americans are still playing though.

I agree completely with this; I've been a longtime fighting game fan, and most of my FG is experience is doing stuff like this. I'll play very casually with my friends, but mostly I like the mental/finger exercises of learning combos and beating the computer. Playing 1v1 against faceless strangers online generally isn't that fun, win or lose, and I sure as hell am not interested in devoting the sort of time to a fighting game that I'd need to play in a tournament. I just wanna kick back, do some super moves, and maybe unlock some costumes or characters.

there are some insanely bad people at tournaments especially for sfv. as well as literal children and people with disabilites, putting them at a tactical and strategic disadvantage. jump in gamer

I've actually forgone season passes on SFV because most of the chars are dumb and there's nothing else to spend FM on anyway. Bought Urien because you can make him speedo Urien.

Yeah most of the dlc characters are either bad or have charge moves and therefore not desirable to the bronze tier ken army

You get a special stage animation in a new stage where akuma gives your opponent a raging demon after a KO in the corner, like he does with bipson in super turbo.

He's 100% correct, SFV is a sequel while Ultra is an expansion/rebalance patch.

sf5 is to sf4 as sf4 was to like every other capcom game at the time

theres just a bunch of people pretending to like a newer, shittier game so hard they start to like it for real just because its the new one.

What's the best way to get fight money? Are people still getting banned for hacking it? I just wanna get all the characters.
