If you land a counterpoke with Ed you can't do anything afterwards because all of his specials have lovely range Why W h y

dhamster posted:Not to mention Sol's counter hits give him crazy ground bounces, wall splats, tumbles, floats which can be converted into corner carry/big damage. Meanwhile Ed apparently doesn't get much off stray hits? Not that I was expecting too much out of him. At the range where you're punishing normals: - uppercut whiffs, EX uppercut travels even less distance - flicker hits once at best, whiffs 90% of the time - DP whiffs - can't cancel into burn knuckle because you gotta charge that up, else it's just stHP - fireball whiffs, as does its startup move - not even sure if super works The only good things about him in midrange are that his sweep has like 9 active frames and his stHK crushes lows pretty well. Other than that I don't see why you'd ever play footsies with him

The problem is that the hitbox tweaks are just to make weird suboptimal poo poo work in combos where they wouldn't have otherwise, not to make the neutral game better/more interesting. They're buffs at such a miniscule scale so as to be nonexistent. Maybe someone will get their hands and feet back but I doubt it. Why on earth would I wanna do stMP crMK with Ryu (which does less damage and doesn't even cancel into his donkey kick in AE) when I could do stMP crHP (which does more damage, and does) Like honestly

It's not. Light ball is the only safe-ish one due to pushback and even then, moves like YZeku slide, dic scissor kick and mmmmmost supers will reach it. The trick is to apply pressure with electricity and then work from the frametrap. crmk xx elec, stlp xx light ball is an obvious safe pressure string but it's got gaps and is only safe in theory. Best option is to confirm from the jab, mix up your options with things like command grab, EX electricity or nothing at all, or just use it more when you get VT2 since then ball becomes properly safe He's really fun but has mmmmmaybe the worst buttons in the game which is saying something given how loving awful most buttons are. His crmp is great but that's honestly it.

The difference in damage and setup potential between a character's hardest combo and their reliable BNB is negligible at best for 90% of the cast so just do the simple thing and enjoy the easy wins

SF's halo effect in terms of overall influence on the genre can't be overstated so a SF game being mediocre is catastrophic where another fighting game being mediocre is just... whatever Like I get that not everyone like SF (not just SF5, but the game in general) but it is the defacto fighting game to which all others are compared. DBFZ isn't a great game mechanically but it's the only game that realistically has a chance to capture the hearts and minds of the general populace like SF has so I'm guessing people just will it to succeed so that they get to deathride SF5 Nothing ever came close to dethroning SF4 in terms of sheer numbers when it was on top but now Tekken is close, and DBFZ has taken over at a lot of majors. DBFZ not being great doesn't preclude it from having a ton of really nice little polishes that show that the devs cared enough to make a fun/exciting game at the very least, so I guess people just want it to succeed more?

Bleck posted:I'm not disagreeing but as a mid-tier fighting game enthusiast I can't help but feel like "I can't believe that the neutral boils down to fishing for a high impact attack that leads into a rote combo" is maybe a more widespread problem among the genre than the community is comfortable with admitting It's not that hitconfirms are inherently problematic: they're a fundamentally important part of fighting games. It's that SF5 gives each character one or two Good Buttons and offensive pressure boils down to hitting one of those two. No matter what the result, you're probably safe, and you're probably able to continue pressuring (sometimes with the same button) until you're out of range or the opponent v-reversals out And to sweeten the deal, long range normals are so loving slow that they can be jumped over them like a fireball; since a lot of characters lack a quick AA normal to capitalise on late jumps so if you don't have a DP (or EX DP as the case may be) your best option is to probably jab AA, at which point they aren't punished for jumping so much as you just switched the offensive momentum having taken very little damage That's somewhat reductive and there are variations on the theme like "the shimmy" which people pretend is somehow a new element to the fighting game genre when it's literally element 1 of the loving footsies handbook or like, i dunno, Menat in general, but like you get the point ok so there are all the complaints people have had that are basically "lol chun's face" level of severity but when dbfz puts a mirror shine on everything it's tough to look at mika's anti-gravity tits or the patch that did nothing but remove cammy's nipples and be like "yes, this is fine" that said pro players hate on this game routinely both privately and on the public record, and a lot simply put up with it because of the money at stake dbfz is not worthless poo poo but it's not a great fg. it may go the same way as sf5 when the money disappears, it may not, but it's also the first of its kind, so it's hard to critique it the same way several people in this thread (including myself) have tournament top 4 finishes to our names so it's not as if it's a bunch of uninformed r/kappa posters yelling into the echo chamber. effortposting about the issues sf5 has seems... i dunno, self evident?

G's mobility is terrible, his poor AAs make his zoning ineffective and overly risky, his momentum-based gameplay means he's Hakan with less guarantee of conversion and his lack of good defensive options means that he'll be at the mercy of the same throw loops and meaty setups that every other character who has the same issue are Sagat is like a less good SF4 Sagat which is weird because even a less good SF4 Sagat feels too good for this game so I expect him to be heavily nerfed That said his buttons are atrociously slow and it's actually less risky to throw a fireball in neutral than it is to throw a standing normal

Double Bill posted:Do you even vskill bro Renoistic posted:I want to like G but I'm having some real trouble using him. Are any of his jump-in attacks not poo poo? And his anti-airs? His V-skill is OK but it's got a slow startup. And his specials are terrible unless you use them in a combo since they are so slow. Most of the time the opponent just jabs him before the attack hits. Which attacks are reasonably safe to use? I don't really know what the gameplan is with him since the only thing he does especially well is steamroll once he's got charge, but even then starting things off requires a stray hit. His normals are stubby, he's slow, his projectile is atrocious. I figure you're just meant to stall, lure them in, and catch them with the hit that starts your offense, but really he's not that scary in any situation aside from the raw damage that he can do. He lacks +frames on CC buttons to be properly scary up close. He loses to rushdown, he loses to a strong footsie game, he loses to grapplers, though I think he beats zoning. But this is SF5 where everyone beats zoning, so

A.o.D. posted:Please elaborate, because her dive kick sure doesn't. Dias posted:That attack has a long rear end startup despite the hitbox, if you do it preemptively it works, otherwise you're getting murdered. If you time it to the start of the jump to catch an early divekick it'll work if she actually does it, but whiff if she doesn't. If you time it to mid-jump it'll catch a raw jump in, but get beaten by a divekick assuming the jump arc is right. Even Nemo has some issues with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRj7QihLmLc He successfully AAs a divekick once with shield, and that's with VT popped. Every other time it's an air to air, I think one crHP and the rest were just blocked or failed. It's actually really reassuring to see Nemo struggle with the same problems with the character that I've been having

I mean I could link to a whole host of other G v Cammy videos where other players like Sako and RB struggle with the same issue but sure Sako's most common AA option is jump back LP if that's any indication
