I was screwing around at work today and made a quiz that helps people pick a SFV main. It's by no means perfect logic-wise (mainly used my own understanding of the game + the prima guide + popular consensus) but hopefully it can serve as a starting guide for players who are like 'WHO DO I MAIN':

The logic is all dumped right there inside the page so feel free to tear it apart.

e: no jokes about it suggesting chun no matter the input

I honestly thought SF4's music sucked a lot with a couple exceptions. Solar eclipse was cool. I'd say 5 has about a 50% success rate.

if only i could understand japanese

It's funny how art's setting up a private discord chat to share tech with the big names in the west while japan has 3 of the gods just going over it on stream and youtube for 2 hours for everyone who can understand english. momochi talked about the fuzzy jump in one of his introduction videos lol

e: also, is it possible that sonicfox is the best american playing one of the worst characters in the game right now? snake eyez 2.0?

UK Gamers are all loving stupid stupid cunts. Like, just loving trash. We don't actually have any taste at all when it comes to computer games. I don't think we're really a nation of gamers. Expect Knack and like, "Lego oval office Omnibus, the PS2 Budget edition" to be top of the charts forever. It's always been the way. When a blockbuster comes out, it will be number one in the charts for a bit, but, the Sims is always there at number 5, ready to climb back to number 1 when the buzz around the new CoD game has died down a bit. And there's always a Fifa or Evo or the like snaking around the charts too.

If you have a bunch of your mates over, and you mention street fighter, they'll all be like, "I always liked chum lean, but could never do her Hardouken". I mean, yeah probably a bunch of UK goons are gonna come out of the woodwork and be like "Mate you just need better friends" but look me right in the dick-eye and tell me you don't have a friend who thinks he's really good and wins an annoying amount by mashing the same move (where he presses the buttons way more than he has to) and one friend who just CANNOT loving grasp how to do any special moves. You do. And that's basically how it goes for all gaming. UK Gamers don't really want the BIGGEST AND BEST because they're sort of scared of it and "I liked dungeon keeper and hospital tycoon!" but never knew you could possess the monsters in dungeon keeper in first person because that's a bit too involved.

Its kind of the same with movies. It seems to me (maybe this is way off) but in the States if a new film comes out, and you get the average punter off the street and ask them what they think of it, like, say its Batman vs Superman, they'd say something like "Oh man, Batman vs Superman? What a bust up! My money's on Superman! I don't know if Affleck can play Batman, and, who's the guy that plays Superman? That should be good!" honestly, the average person in the UK, no, like over 50% of the people you ask, are going to say "Oh, I don't know about that" and walk away.

Its such a loving annoying attitude. 'I dont know that in depth so I wont have a go'.

I think what sums up what I'm getting at is that I imagine something like 90% of all video games and DVDs / Blurays in the UK are probably bought in supermarkets from a selection of less than 20. (Because they only sell the top 20, but sometimes games that aren't a new Sims / Fifa / Lego budget oval office omnibus / budget random bullshit pile-em-high-sell-em-cheap kids game / CoD somehow make their way into the charts and the guy at Tesco can't cope with working out how many of that might sell so they just dont stock it). Despite these ill informed supermarket sales, about 99% of the computer games market is actually just chavs stealing games and selling them to Computer Exchange (second hand gaming store).

Growing up liking computer games in the UK has been so depressing.

Yeah, I mean there's HoG. But, you know thats a MASSIVE aberration. Like, its to the point where if you see an Arcade anywhere that isn't gambling of some kind, or a pinball machine, its because the place you're in is American themed, and you can bet your rear end its broken and no one knows how to fix it or has the keys for it.

As if we need any more reasons to avoid Survival for color unlocking, my investigations today have suggested that they have increased the difficulty for Normal survival. After five attempts at gaining Alex normal colors, I was met with a soul destroying Ryu at stage 25 that crushed the dream repeatedly by the tall-tail sign of reading inputs; normally a tactic reserved for Hard and above difficulty opponents. Asking around revealed the same issues for others, but on all characters at the same stage. This was vastly different an experience than when I originally did the run with Necalli many moons ago.

Pretty sure stage 25 has always been known as the stage where the CPU actually turns on, but up until the last patch a few days ago, it wasn't to the level of Hard difficulty. Now it seems the AI acts more like it does in Hard Mode when closing in the last 10 stages on that difficulty. You can expect full combo completions, anti-airs and hard-counters to your buttons by the AI in the last 5 stages of Medium difficulty.

The need to abuse the ranked/casual pop-up tactic is very strong now for both difficulties, made all the worse by not having these survival colors available for purchase in the store. So far, you can only purchase colors 11, 12 and 13 via fight money - choices that don't even exist for Alex at present.

edit: I guess since I'm talking about colors, word has it colors 14 and 15 are unlocked via character-specific levels. 25 and 30, though I can't seem to verify this for certain.
