Wait do you have to pick one and only one character to play as in online games? Like... you can't just pick a character when the match starts?

What the hell is this game

In ranked matches you pick your character before you start matchmaking.

I poo poo all over SFV, but locking into a character when you start matchmaking is now just a thing most 3D rendered fighters do.

I mean, it makes sense. Most people have a main that they specialize in if they're playing ranked. You can't really play character select screen mindgames with an opponent who isn't allowed to see your choice until it's locked in.

Its saving you like 90 seconds of loading char select, waiting for the opponent to finish his bong rip and pick, loading the match up screen, etc

In a game like sfv with huge loads already character select would be backbreaking

The only time it sucks if you're in a string of rematches with the same person I might want to try another character without having to peace out on someone I'm having fun with.

matchmaking is usually matchup-dependent to at least some extent, too. So they need to know the character beforehand.

AE will be adding a Team Versus Mode to make running team tourneys easier and because it's a fun thing to do. More games should have this option even if most people don't use it

I really want it to be feasible for balrog to sit on his TAP for max charge like how kaneblueriver would sit on raiden's dropkick in kof13 and basically murder characters in one hit.

I'm glad this is no longer feasible.

Do every character story every S1 and s2 trial and cinematic story mode and that's enough for like 3-4 characters right there.

Also make sure to watch every demonstration and tutorial thing as they all give fm as well

Course not just mash and play your next match.

As for dropping out before you play bo3 I find that's most common not even at low ranks but at super and ultra diamond. People really wanna protect those points.

She's got all her teeth, so I'd rule out meth. The complete lack of pupils is making me think psilocybin mushrooms, but those were made illegal in Japan in 2002. What year is SFV supposed to take place?
