I wish Zangief was easier to learn, he's the coolest character on the roster by far, but he feels really difficult compared to Ryu. I guess scrubs aren't meant to play Zangief. :(


Edit: Is there an easy way to do 720s? I always have to jump in.

Easiest way to hit a standing 720 is when you're in the poo poo you throw out his forward medium kick, it does that hopping knee and as soon as it goes you spin it to win it. You buffer the spinning in the animation of that jumping knee and after it hits it pops out and combos if you did it fast enough.

You can also make fight money doing it the cheese way which saves you from paying for things.


literally barely notice the color change on his default you're in the clear

Its nothing like skin change just like his thong and bracer.

Normal gets you a weird green/orange combo, black trunks Gief and my coveted color Cheddah Gief. Only problem is Cheddah Gief doesn't turn him super dark tan like Marvel and poo poo.

Just a heads up if you fat fingered your in game ID or you just want to change it you can email feedback@capcom.com with the following template and they'll fix it or change it. Took about a week and a half for me after they passed it around internally.

Current Fighter ID / flag:

Change requested to fighter ID / flag:

Platform (PC/PS4):

Steam ID/PSN ID (Your steam id number they want can be found on your fighter profile)

Reason for request:


Hadn't seen this around much so thought i'd pass it on.

He has evolved beyond normal human understanding and can actually see the infrared aura a jab spd range has.

it's not so much that street fighter kills other games, and more than for some loving reason the a large chunk of the american scene only plays Capcom fighters. You're lucky if you have local Marvel (RIP) or Guilty Gear, god forbid one of those three aren't actually your favorite game. For a lot of people, not clicking with the current street fighter for whatever reason means being stuck online.

Like me and 20 other people in this country are going to play kof 14

I'd say we could move to Mexico where our kind are appreciated but i'm kinda burned out on KOF 97.

I fought a dude named Papa_geif, and he was a pretty fun gief player, he woulda won but I realized that I just had to stay really far away from him and won barely. How do you keep away from his running grab? I would hold back and still got caught, I'm guessing a jump/jump attack? It seemed to work a few times I did it, but is that punishable?

You don't, you just take it and play the wakeup game. Tell all your Dhalsim friends.

I wanna believe Jazzy NYC will sound good since Karin's theme is p on point but then there's the Bison and Ryu and Zangief themes and I don't know if it'll actually be one of the good ones

Whoa whoa whoa... Zangief's theme is loving great. Ryu's is fine. Bison's I could leave though.

Zangief's is really boring. Like the Jazzy SFIV version is a cool way to play and Ryu having orchestral backing is so played out at this point.

I dig the sax in his 4 theme but I think the build up and the high point in his 5 theme beats the entire rest of 4's theme. I refuse to budge on this point and will become bitter as gently caress about this minor nothing.

I'm just trying to figure out what the gently caress they're gonna make Balrog's V-skill in this game. I'm afraid it's gonna be some variation of the turn around punch or the headbutt.

Since they've been going with some semi-obscure Street Fighter characters, I really think they should add someone from Saturday Night Slammasters and Rival Schools \ Project Justice because they're tangentially related to Street Fighter and Final Fight. Rival Schools has Sakura in it and Slammasters has Haggar who was from Final Fight which is in the SF universe so it's like a Kevin Bacon degrees of separation thing.

Also, we have Cody, Guy, Rolento, Sodom, Poison and Hugo all playable in Street Fighter games, I'd really like Mike Haggar to finally show up as a playable character someday.

He's in Marvel 3. Plus I don't see Haggar making it into anywhere that already has Zangief since their usually depicted offense is the same. Maybe if they hosed around and gave him some pipe based attacks or something.

Benson Cunningham posted:

He seems really hard to balance. V-Trigger links off almost everything and you can ex air spd after for around 400 damage. His H.SPD still does about 1/4th of most character's life. He has possibly the best ult in the game.

If he has an easier way to get in, he could quickly become a very oppressive character. It'd be cool if absorbing a fireball with his F.HP increased his walk speed for a short time, or something like that.

My friend from work and I were talking about this. We both play Gief and were trying to figure out how to better him without breaking him or having to do the effort thing (which Capcom probably doesn't wanna do) of putting Banishing Flat back in. Only things we could figure out were poo poo like loving with his lariat and his cyclone. We figured they clearly thought his flexin' and projectile killing headbutt were his new tools to get in that they didn't need green hand but too many matchups devolve into take tons of white life and hope you can get in on them before they catch you with a lucky jab making all that effort you did worth nothing. I don't know if making his flexing a straight up parry would have worked better but it'd probably have been broken on activating the cyclone where it's infinite until your meter runs out. Basically we're both waiting with baited breath to see if they do anything at all for him but, as i've said before, I totally expect the only change they'll give him is a nerf to his jab SPD range just to gently caress with us.

EDIT: Like the recent Combo Breaker top 8. I ended up skipping much of it because it was just monotonous. I think another poster said the same thing earlier. The only noise from the crowd ever was when they were copying Karin's ho-ho-ho laugh because they had nothing else to do, that and cheers when someone won. And, like, i'm certain it's more fun to play than to watch. And the mechanics of SFV are better designed so it should be a better fighting game. And in many ways, it is. But I feel like somehow, somehow, that doesn't seem to have translated to a game that is actually more fun to play or to watch.

The only other time I remember hearing the crowd pop was when it was Alex vs Laura because hey gang, here's Alex and Laura and Alex brought his Hyperbomb with him. The wheels fell off that pretty fast though.

Looks like you don't just "get" story mode on the PC version. I had to visit the Steam store page for the DLC and click the Download button to get it registered with my game.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/475230/

Then I had to go to my Steam Library and click the checkbox on the actual DLC package in order to get it to install. It is a separate 7.4 GB download and is NOT part of the 8 GB download that recently came out.

The game should have launched with this. Why does it have to be manually added to the game separately? This is so dumb.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck you Capcom. Was hoping since I was gonna get home late and already downloaded that 8 gig patch that i'd be able to gently caress around in it a little for the first time since Alex came out. Guess not. 98 time.

In Dan's summary in the shop for Zangief's Macho Man costume it says he looks exactly like another game character that spits yellow mist. What?

All I can think of is Raiden/Big Bear in the Fatal Fury/KOF games but he spits green mist usually. Did someone from Saturday Night Slam Masters spit mist?
