Woah cool congrats

What did you like better about SF4? To be honest SF4 at launch I just felt wasn't that good, and by the time it was finished it was a better game but I just found it boring. SF5 for now is fun just because it's new

1) It is very hard to balance a game for every single matchip and that's why fighting games always have multiple revisions, and these days frequent patches
2) No matter how much balancing you do, someone will end up in a better matchup with someone else
3) If you have 2 players that play exactly as well as each other then it comes down to matchups so people will pick the characters with the best ones

mmm....
I keep having this issue with a couple of different PS3 madcatz sticks on PS4 and have not been able to find a similar issue anywhere. I authenticate the legacy stick just fine (either with it plugged in already or plugging it in when it prompts me.) The stick works fine for a few matches, then just becomes completely unresponsive and I have to re authenticate.

Anyone else have this issue or have an idea why I'm experiencing with it? It's almost like the 8 minute timeout issue experienced when the PS360+ board or a brook adapter that hasn't been updated is used. I've tried searching all over different forums and i can't find anyone with the same issue. I could understand if I was using some obscure PCB but these are just madcatz PS3 sticks that haven't been modded at all.

Can anyone tell me a few very simple B&B things to practice with Chun-Li. As in new to fighting games, just getting used to a stick things. I can do special moves consistently, so I'd like to start learning basic combos.

I know I'm not god tier AT this game, but it seems like to many if juju inputs get eaten in online matches compared to any of the offline stuff, is there any way to see why that is.
Also, all music and sound will sometimes cut out on me and never come back on.

From easiest to hardest, these are the combos I keep in mind for Chun:

V-Skill, d.MK, d.MK, d.MK, EX Legs

c.HP, LK Legs, c.LP, LK Spinning Bird (or LK Legs again which is less efficient but looks cool af imo)

c.MP, V-Trigger cancel, c.MK, HK Legs or MK Spinning Bird

c.LK, LP, LP, HK Legs

c.LP, MP, c.MK, HK Legs (easy version)
c.LP, MP, c.MK, MK Spinning Bird (hard version)

f.HK, c.LP, MP, c.MK, HK Legs / MK Spinning Bird

Crush Counter combos:
b.HP, EX Legs
b.HP, c.HK

HK, HK

HK, dash, MP, c.MK, HK Legs

Essentially the combo you wanna have nailed to your brain at all times with Chun is the c.LP, MP, c.MK variants because they are straightforward to execute and give you a lot of time to confirm before committing to her unsafe specials. Start practicing this combo at point-blank then gradually test how far back you can land it. If you have trouble linking her MP to c.MK, press MK when her arm extends out for MP. All combos that end in non-EX Legs can be super-cancelled.

I just got my first rage quit.

I bodied the gently caress out of an R Mika with 2500 points (though the first round I got caught in the mixup because I pushed a button). As I landed my final combo into super for the kill he disconnected as the KO screen popped up.

Man.. that would've been a good 100 points. Not like the points mean anything, but it's the principal damnit.

I haven't had any disconnections or anything yet, but they don't lose points for quitting?

I don't think there's any penalty yet no. At the very least, I didn't get the points for the win!

But that person losing their points and being angry would be a small consolation at least

Any tips on effectively quick-rising? I'm embarrassingly not figuring out the timing. Went in the lab, got swept a bunch until I could pretty reliably do it by holding PP about when hitting the ground, but once I get into matches and the animation time isn't always the same as sweeps I miss it most of the time, and half of the quick-rises I do get are the backflip version coming out from holding block. (Charge chars, so I'm sticking with the button quick-rise.) Tia!

Yup. Nothing is saved or registered. Had a couple rage quits myself even in the lower ranks. My favorite was a Mika with an 8 streak named danny no quits. Did not live up to his name

Take it to the bank, boys.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do against FANG as Vega? It's the one matchup where I have absolutely no clue what I'm supposed to do and I get wrecked every single time.

I assumed getting in close right away would be the best thing to do but then I get overwhelmed by FANG's crazy mixups and before I know it I'm stunned.

It's all from Rashid's story mode, just hard to see while playing because it scrolls by so fast.

Ain't no thing like me, 'cept me.
I hope Capcom does something about ragequitters because it's annoying just seeing them come up over and over again.
Last night when I was playing for about 6 hours I saw some rank 230~ Karin player with 14 wins. He disconnected when he lost.
Saw him again a couple hours later at 15 wins, same thing happened.
Saw him one final time. Again, a couple hours later. At 16 wins. Same poo poo.

I like to think he was playing all night and ragequitting every match for the sake of 2 wins on his counter.

Bi-Han now we've got Bad Blood
People are a lot less inclined to ragequit when there aren't ego numbers attached to each fight.

Then there are games like blazeblue and guilty where its not just numbers but a lil color by your name.

Some nerd in BB lobby like a month ago literally told someone "ew you're only blue"
