Quick aside from shop: How is the netcode and all that stuff on the PC version? I keep buying fighting games on Steam and getting burned by the online experience. You'd think I'd learn my lesson, but I have too much of this human disease called "hope"

Srice posted:It works fine as long as you set a filter to only get matched with opponents with good ping, and crossplay with ps4 players has no problems outside of the ps4 version having slightly longer load times so unlike other pc fighting games you don't have to worry about it becoming a wasteland. Hm... maybe for now I'll back-burner it until they add Arcade Mode in March, so I have something to fall back on. I'll probably just keep watching the twitch tournaments because :esports:

Saint Freak posted:The Man from F.A.N.G. is dumb-looking and my hot tip would be to switch to a beautiful character like Karin or Zangief or Birdie I'm probably gonna take a stab at maining Karin when I pick this up. I tend to fall back way too hard on shotoclones in fighting games, except in Mortal Kombat where I kinda waffle between Kitana and Johnny Cage (you could probably argue that Kitana is a shotoclone with that rising fan uppercut). I wanna try somebody with more of a Rushdown style, as opposed to my usual standby of "rely too much on anti-air and try not to die  "

I was peripherally attached to the melee scene in college by way of the video games club, Electronic Gaming Society. They had a couple of couches in the back of the room, and a big TV that we played melee on. Every once in a while, somebody would be showcasing some new GCN game that they imported or whatever, because it was the club's only GCN, and it would just be a bunch of glowering nerds watching some guys play Naruto. I was detached enough to be able to wander across the room to play Soul Caliber or whatever every once in a while, for which I am: thankful.

ChocNitty posted:What's rollback netcode? It's a method for reconciling differences between what the client thinks is going on and what the server thinks is going on. Basically it will rewind the game state up to 4 frames in the event of a mismatch and "re-sync" both players, resulting in what is perceived as a lag spike.

Bisse posted:For being a multiplayer game the multiplayer features sure suck rear end, it takes me between 1 to 10 minutes to find a ranked game, and battle lobbies would be great if I could EVER successfully join any of them. Same. The 1 minute I don't mind. The 10 minutes sucks a lot, though. It wouldn't be so bad if I had some kind of arcade mode to distract me. I don't play survival mode while I'm searching for matches because survival mode is serious business and I don't wanna be interrupted, haha. Also, battle lounges can only hold 2 people at the moment. Improved lounges are coming in March Sometimetm. I'm holding out hope for a King of the Hill mode with spectators. That poo poo used to be my jam in Mortal Kombat.

Fruitsnacks posted:You can search for matches while doing training mode. Pause the game while in training mode and at the bottom of the menu is an option called Network Match Fight Request Settings, which is identical to the one on the main menu screen. Yeah, I know about that. That's like... not fun, though? If I turn up the AI difficulty on the training dummy, it's a decent warm-up, but I'd rather be doing actual discrete fights than like infinite combo practice. I don't really want the matchmaking service to just be rescuing me from a Sisyphean Chun-Li who never dies

Cat Machine posted:The league system in SFV is actually pretty good, I think. It's never gonna be perfect (especially in its infancy when there are still killers who just haven't put in the ranked time yet) but I feel like 90% of my ranked opponents are within fair margins of more/same/less skilled. Yeah. I'm like dumpster tier so it's hard to judge, but I'd say the ranked matches I get into are mostly an "even" match. I still lose the match, mind you, but I often win one round or lose with their health such that I would have won with a confirmed combo. My 5-game winning streak this past weekend was a major fluke. I wish I could run into some more of those kinda chumpy players, haha. I think for most people I am the kind of chumpy player

Yorkshire Tea posted:Man if there was a legit guide on how to make a hitbox from parts that I could find easily I might actually do it. I'm still feeling out how to play Karin properly. I know a few combos, but I'm kinda bad at judging when to actually use them. I lean really hard on the various iterations of MK, and I'm trying to get better at reliably executing instant tenko after a confirm. I finally won another ranked match last night  Filtering my matchmaking on quality 4-5 is a real double-edged sword. It basically means there's a pool of like 5 people that it matches me with. I had semi-even fights with the same guy playing F.A.N.G. about 4 times last night, and got absolutely bodied by the same Cammy twice. Karin vs. F.A.N.G. is a weird as hell matchup, too. He has crazy sweep range, so my usual bullshit footsies don't work very well. He likes to do the thing where he walks in behind his poison ball, so my options for getting inside were pretty much: risky ressenha from close range to try and catch him off guard, EX Command Dash into Tenko into Kyakku to get under the poison ball, or try to risk a jump-in MK crossup. In retrospect, I could have probably also used Meioken to just eat the poison ball and maybe hit him?

Sick! Thats DOPE posted:i forgot there was casual matches and battle lounge and got confused. i also cannot understand why someone would do casual matches then I switch them on along with ranked when I'm waiting for rando matches just so I can spend more time playing Street Fighter and less time practicing my hit-confirms. I'm slowly improving! I won a few matches on Sunday, then proceeded to lose a bunch of other matches and go back down to 0 LP Hobojim pointed out some of my bad habits to me in our lobby the other day, so I've been trying to get better at punishing people and not giving up so much of the screen. So yeah, Sunday was pretty good for me- I had a really satisfying fight against some Ken, where I blocked his CA and immediately countered with my own CA for a knockout. It was a fun session. Maybe I'll be able to rank bronze by the end of the month.

bebaloorpabopalo posted:Her basic thing (cancelling into Just frame Tenko) is harder than the hardest thing many characters have. You have to adjust her juggles based on spacing (JF Tenko vs Shoulder) and her optimal midscreen 1 and 2 bar combos are hard. Her confirm from lights (cr.lp cr.lp xx JF tenko) is one of the hardest in the game. Lots of her crush counter/vtrigger optimal confirms have *microwalks*. Also things like consistently setting up trades by delaying cancels into shoulder, and then confirming and comboing off the trade. To expand on learning Karin: I got the hang of instant Tenko after a few minutes with the practice dummy. The thing I have trouble with is that her basic hit-confirm string is crMP->stMP, which doesn't give her a lot of range to work with. You basically have to do it as a wiff punish. That can be hard for newer players; I still battle my instinct to punish with a sweep or standing MK to keep my distance.

He's got a surprising amount of mobility and I have a hard time getting in close without being subjected to his strong aerial game. I have a decent track record against Rashids so far because a lot of them seem to love that horizontal flying kick move from across the screen, which is incredibly punishable.

Tell me if this is crazy talk: As Karin, my go-to punishes currently are either a kick or my crMP->stMP confirm combo, depending on distance. Should I be trying to mix in stHP->Kyakku(HK version) for punishes on things with a longer recovery? Or other stHP strings like stHP->V-Trigger->stHP->qcf P->etc? Or is stHP still too slow to use like that?

Eh, I'm sure we'll see a patch for it. It kinda seems like they are replacing the Super/Ultra new versions thing that they did with Street Fighter IV with the Fight Money Store and patches. I hope the game-as-platform thing pans out for them. If nothing else, I really love watching this franchise on the pro esports tier, so obviously I'd like that to continue.

Fruitsnacks posted:Picking the right punish starter is important but If you're trying to maximize your damage you need to learn her optimal combo routes. Here are the highest damage combos, organized by meter usage and screen position. Yeah, I've been using those 0-meter tenko + whatever combos a lot. I get clumsy with the execution on orochi, I need to work on that more. I hadn't actually thought of juggling somebody into the EX DP using tenko, so I'm definitely gonna work on that. Tenko, Tenko, Super looks good, too. I usually end up doing like qcb+LK canceled into super unless I can get somebody in the V-trigger qcf+p blender.

Can somebody explain Karin's "Perfect Hubby" title to me? Because I did a little  when I unlocked it the other week and promptly forgot it existed until just now. Unless I missed a beat in her backstory, I kind of don't understand the context of that title.
