Bought this for PC but I have an ATI Radeon HD 4800 which is from like pre-2010 I think so only half of the stuff in the game is rendering. It's pretty interesting fighting another mans and having no idea what your HP or meters are because there are no bars, also the Select Region screen on account creation was a complete guess so now I am from Brazil I guess??

Game is good, fun and easy to get into, most of my annoyances from SF4 are gone and playing the spacing and footsie game is much more fun than guessing left-right block and doing combos. Good Online Game, Bad Offline Game.

Ryu feels kind of... bad? His fireballs don't pack much of a punch and his limbs feel pretty stubby, c.mk has so short range, I don't really know what to do at like s.mp range since none of my buttons are very good.

you have to be very careful with how you use his normals, but use s mk instead of c mk for spacing and mid range poking

also get back to work on barkley 2 you piece of poo poo

Everyone is tournament material, just go play and lose some entry free money to support local fgc but then play casuals afterward

Most people probably don't have time to stay until like 1am after the tournaments finish to play casuals on a weekday. The gently caress is the obsession with weeknights for events.

I mean, if you get put out there's usually at least one casual setup off to the side for everyone to play on while the tournament keeps going

Maaaan, Cammy's stand RH is so garbage. I can only ever use it as a crush counter when I block a DP. I wish she had her old roundhouse back. That, or cr.HP gave a crush counter.

use cr.hp to fish for vtrigger combo, punish with st.mp st.hp [vtrigger st.hp] hk sa [xx hk dp xx super]

basically as far as I can tell, just dont even press st hk, its poo poo

Someone told me to not use b.mp so much and DP instead, but now I'm getting kicked in the face and eating big damage from random rear end Kens so maybe I should go back to using single button anti-airs. b.mp doesn't seem to trade often either. I feel like you kinda have to predict with s.hk though as it has a bit of a startup. You need to do LK DP when they're up close (or crossing up) and HK when they're far, too. Doing DPs with a 6321 beats crossups if you know they're going to do it.

Anti-airs have always been a big weakness of mine so I typically struggle against players who jump a lot because I often let them get away with it.

play st ryu and only aa with DPs

you will hate yourself and your lovely hands until it starts to work and in every other game its EZ

friend of mine was like "combos are much easier than sf4, jump in"

we play a bit, he has absolutely poo poo reflexes and I win most exchanges but whenever he does win them it's the typical "unleash the 12 hit phoenix skull death combo on his face" fighting game bullshit so I keep losing matches. it's like fighting games always need to have the most difficult execution otherwise non-nerds who only like footsies, zoning, mind-games, reaction to mini-animations etc might someday have a chance and boy we can't have that.

the following question is: do I want to be a good nerd and do the 3 frame combos hundreds of times in training, hours a day, like he does?

the answer, surprisingly, is yes! game is amazing, and the disappearance of the "you must be a virgin" 1 frame link stupid retarded bullshit might just have won me over.

Hey don't act like I was the first person to not talk about SF in the SF thread. And can you people really not understand the difference between a real human woman wearing what she wants, and a 3d dressup doll that old japanese(and american, apparently) guys could jerk it to? I guess im just not as much of a hxc gamer as you rad dudes.

I'm not being sarcastic

That's my goddamn question, I've never been turned on by a video game character, maybe that's what makes me different.

lol the bottle isn't even close to the reason she's so drat powerful, it's mostly just a good close slash and an ok, if awkward, anti-air.

It's kind of, sort of, got to be. It's her only real anti-air normal and it isn't one she has complete control over the use of, being a proximity normal. It also lacks upper body invuln.

Man this thread is a trash fire. I've been playing a ton of Overwatch, a game with actual effort and love put into it, and it's so much more rewarding than SFV. I've bought MKX, GGXrd and SFV and Skullgirls on PC and the only one I don't regret is SG even though I never play it. I don't like SG's art style or gameplay, but at least the devs put some real effort into their game to make it as good as possible. I like the core game of SFV but the 3 month+ botched launch with no communication from the devs pisses me right off. I think I'm just done with fighting games for now, if I want my 1v1 kicks I'll just play tennis or chess or something. I really want to like these games but the devs are making it really hard for me.

We wanted to clear up the confusion around the release of Ibuki in #SFV. She will be released alongside Story Mode at the end of June.

@StreetFighter 13m13 minutes ago
We'll have a blog with more info surrounding the June content and other topics the community has brought up in the next day or so.

@StreetFighter 13m13 minutes ago
Moving forward we will work to communicate information surrounding content releases in #SFV at a much more rapid pace.
