hiddenriverninja posted:why do I keep on trying survivor hard when I know I will end up just paying for these colors I always loose around match 28/29/30 and waste so much time and I'm getting kinda pissed off. The first 25 matches are so easy you can do it in your sleep, then the last 5 are almost like luck. It's so tedious. I just want the march update to hit so I can throw some money at these colors instead of having to do this poo poo.

I traded codes with a buddy to get goggles Cammy and she is the best. I just with my arcade had goggles Cammy. I might literally buy goggles Cammy for the arcade owner just because I want Cammy to be goggles Cammy at all times

It would be hilarious if Sakura is actually like 30 and still in high school because she's been held back a lot because she is too busy fighting to attend class Also am I the only one getting an Edward Snowden vibe from Charlie? Betrayed by the US (or at least corrupt soldiers working w/ Shadowloo), he's now a Frankenstein in Russia. Although they don't say, it's probably the Illuminati that brought him back and not the Russians. I think further story stuff will be the Illuminati vs. Shadowloo which would be cool. Maybe Gill and\or Urien are using him as a guided rage-filled missile to kill Bison.

Last night I played a few sets against a good Nash as Cammy and had a lot of trouble getting in. Mind you, the guy I played last night is a good player, Nash is a good character, and my skills are pretty subpar. Spin Knuckle really doesn't seem to be a very good way of going through fireballs - especially when Nash's recovery is very fast and he can hit me with his vskill. Throws also seem to be shorter range in this one, so my tick throw \ frame trap shenanigans from SF4 don't seem to be so effective here. It doesn't seem like you can TK her divekicks anymore so I don't really have a reliable overhead. Any thoughts on that matchup? So much of his stuff seems safe, too. Like that scythe thing looks like it should be way more unsafe than it is. Help Im Alive posted:I watched Momochi beat survival on hard and he was only able to do it because he had the fight request thing on so he could bail out if he was about to lose (and even then he almost lost a ton of times in the 40s) It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't like giving you low health ups at the worst possible times So you can get through survival if you have fight request on? I haven't tried that.

When SF4 first came out, things were ran locally in some card game shop and it was packed wall to wall with hot and smelly nerds. What I'm saying is I guess I'm in some kinda nerd clique that decides who is in and who is out And yeah... I'm totally forgetting about the existence of Marn, Chris G, Juicebox and like 90% of smash and anime fighter players... I went to one Smash tournament when Smash came out for the Wii U out of curiosity and said "nope, never again" after that

Saint Freak posted:For some reason I thought all those kids that got in trouble for crapping into their hands and throwing it at each other were Smash players, but I looked it up and that was actually Pokemons players. MOBAs, Sonic, Pokemon, Smash and really pretty much anything Nintendo are all like autism magnets. Street Fighter is hands down the most popular fighting game... that is, unless you count Smash, which is more popular by a huge margin. Ironically I think its popularity stems from the fact that it was meant to be a party game and not a competitive fighter. High level Smash definitely requires skill, but the basic game has such a low barrier of entry that even little 8 year old Jimmy can get into it. Competitive Smash is also trying to fit a square peg into a round hole as it literally is not intended to be a competitive game and they need to invent a myriad of rules to play it. It's like when you were kids and some kid got pissed off that you kept throwing him and decided to ban throws because "they're totally cheap!" The crossover between Smash and other fighters seems pretty small because Smash players probably tried to do a Hadouken once and got pissed off when it didn't come out, and well, no one really wants anything to do with competitive Smash players. They're too nerdy for even FGC nerds. TOs basically just run Smash to get their money. Watching Smash matches is also boring as gently caress and might be less interesting to watch than competitive Tekken.

AFAIK Greensboro and Raleigh\Durham are where everything happens now. Geeksboro's been running SF5 on Fridays and Lost Ark on Sat. Daniel at Lost Ark says he's gonna pay for a trip to EVO for whoever wins the Lost Ark League so a lot of the killers from Raleigh have been coming over here. So in other words, Tom, Fran or one of the better Raleigh players are going to EVO lol I'm kind of a lazy gently caress who doesn't travel far for fighting game stuff since a lot of it happens in my hometown nowadays. Also I got sick of USF4 and never really got into anime fighters. Years ago I used to drive 3 hours with a bunch of dudes to random rear end tournaments.

Maaaannn I can't wait for the March update. I really want trial mode and a trip to Jazzy NYC. Speaking of, they've been pretty radio silent regarding the new characters. Granted, we know who they are, but if the current cast is any indication, they're likely extremely different from previous incarnations but we're not sure how. Alex was like my most wanted character after Karin and I'm dying to see how he plays. I'm hoping that Guile and Balrog are still charge characters and Urien still has some form of Aegis Reflector. Shockeh posted:Right - I've come to the conclusion that stick play is no longer possible for me, so I'm gonna have to become a pad player. I had a hard loving time doing 360s and 720s on d-pads (I use analog sticks for those if I'm playing on a pad) and a lot of stuff like Guile\Vega's old super motion (charge db, df, db, uf) is hard as hell for me on a pad while on a square gate stick, it's easy as pie. I also think it's easier doing DPs on a square gate. But that is just me and YMMV. Plenty of good players play with pads.

I'm watching Winter Brawl X and seeing Cammy repeatedly getting her poo poo kicked in so a part of me is starting to feel like dropping her and just playing Nash or Bison. Like, Bison's everything is at advantage on block and that's just nuts. I'm starting to loose faith in the Killer Bee. I wish she had an overhead and her old st.RH from previous games. Her new RH is really weird and I can only really seem to use it to get crush counters from whiffed DPs and sometimes jump ins but it's really risky to use an an anti-air. Her sweep also works as a crush counter but what good is that because you're not gonna be able to combo after it.

As mentioned, Q is like Robot Detective K, plus he's like some kind of Frankenstein monster who awkwardly stomps around and grunts and grumbles. He's creepy and mysterious and nobody knows what his deal is. Who or what is he? Is he a robot? A cyborg? A big retard in a mask? What does he want? Does he work for anyone? It's probably best if they don't answer these things as that's a big part of his appeal. But it would be cool to see him again.

Trykt posted:Definitely stop pressing b+MP, I'm really not sure how or why you have that as a habit but it's the biggest immediate problem you need to solve. That move is pretty much just to let her get a beefier hit confirm off of certain hits, like j.lk (her only cross-up capable air normal) Thanks for the advice! I often hit b+mp accidentally honestly. Sometimes I'll gently caress up combos because I was holding back. I'm guessing I shouldn't use b+mp as an anti air? It seems to trade a lot. RH can also be used as an AA crush counter but I feel like it's too risky. I'm gonna think about what you said for a bit but right now I'm about to pass out.

"The Beast" is really a terrible nickname for him. "The Machine" would be a hell of a lot better because a good amount of his success stems from his uncanny ability to basically shut off his emotions and stay cool and relaxed. That, and he's really good at analyzing his opponents and thinking up counter strategies really fast. On the flip side, you have "Murderface" Tokido which actually makes sense because well... he has a murder face.
