Street Fighter V General Discussion

[The Farmer]

I'm really loving Ken, he rewards good reads and patient play. The run shenanigans are one of the most fun ways to test match-up knowledge and reactions of new opponents. I've been having tons of fun learning his spacing and where to be against each other character. I just wish there was somewhere to read about the V gauge, I'm having trouble building it effectively. Gonna learn a secondary after this weekend (winter brawl). Going with Mika or Laura for command grab fun.


This is one of the best things I've ever read on this site!

He builds v meter with running step kick

That's great! Is that his only way of building it besides taking damage?

I thought we were going to be Cammy brethren



Dude you need Gootecks in your life. Here, he uploaded these recently .

I know, the stuff in then thumbnail will make you think you're new to fighting games but just watch them for christ sake. It'll help you. Also, you just need to practice the CA motion you'll get it

Gootecks is probably the best mainstream SF teacher. Followed by Floe and Juicebox. Those 3 I know are constantly being helpful during streams or making videos.

Every charater will cost 150,000 and costumes 40,000

150k hmm a bits more expensive than i thought but, im only really after 2 characters there so i guess its not so bad...TY

Correction: 100k FM for characters. I'm at 25k after leveling Mika to 8 and Ken to 12, 1 story mode and 2 easy survivals and some ranked matches. I'm hoping we get FM from trials, cause that plus challenges, leveling and survival with every character could be a decent stream of FM.

The way it works for every character is using V-skill and getting hit builds V-trigger.

Currently playing Ken and FANG, if anyone fancies doing longer sets hit me up I need to learn matchups and be less free at this game. PSN: SoulFiend1 CFN: EmpiresErased. Add me on PSN or shoot me a message here I'll happily play anyone that isnt lagging tons!

 

[The Farmer]

As far as I know. It builds like half a bar lol. But it's unsafe I believe. I'm pretty new to street fighter, so that's all I've discovered so far.

Ranked in a nutshell

They couldn't stand Zangief's Iron Body.

So yeah, his Headbutt beats projectiles, and with V-Trigger Active, his V-Skill has 100 hits of armor.

Anybody know how Dhalsim is supposed to punish command grabs? He can't do the typical neutral jump kick/punch into full combo because his jump is so slow/floaty that they recover before he lands. I've been doing instant air jump back hp (not that much damage, probably unsafe in certain matchups) or instant air drill into a jab combo (not that much damage and kind of hard)... Wondering if there's a better answer

Instant air teleport I guess?

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

will the store be available the 1st of March like MKX season 2 DLC?

have they announced a date and i missed it somehow...

I don't know the date but I assume the store will be available when Alex comes out.

 

[GAV]

Im thinking about trying him out. I still haven't found a character I click with.

He's a beast, but he has no effective anti-air.

Cammy and Necalli are my current favorites. Being able to gain tactical advantage from their V-Skill and scaring the shit out of everyone are why.

 

[Zatoichi]

So that maintenance did WONDERS to the netcode for me. I was actually able to play matches without lag!

So far, everyone seems to be pressing buttons at this point, so many Ryu and Ken players with wake-up Shoryukens. And while Claw's range isn't as great as it was in SFIV, it still has better range than other characters thankfully. I'm doing fairly well with him, just playing footsies and punishing unsafe pokes and attacks. I've only lost to the most patient of players, who happened to use Nash, Necalli, and Ryu.

Karin is so the worst in the game. #PrayForKarin #HelplessBitch #NoAA

Claw needs more help than anyone else.

The way it works for every character is using V-skill and getting hit builds V-trigger.

Also, landing a crush counter will build half a bar of V meter.

 

[buyacushun]

Also, landing a crush counter will build half a bar of V meter.

And during a V-reversal gets rid of some stun. Man the meter game is going to be something else.

lol birdie doesn't have an anti air?

 

[B. Shazzy]

what the

 

[THTB]

I have never been grabbed so many times in a fighting game in my life. F.A.N.G has two reversals, V-reversal and ex command dash and they both lose to throw and guarantee the second you try and actually tech one of them you eat a combo

Git guud

crMP is bae bruh.

 

[Zatoichi]

• F+HP, it has a point of Armor
• EX Bull Horn
• HK Hanging Chain

I believe those could work as an anti-air.

There are more, I was being sarcastic.

crMP >>>>>>>> all

 

[GAV]

Not an effective one.

His chain is too slow.
His MP has a wonky hitbox.
His standing MK and HK is too far in front.

I guess they can be made to work, but he's pretty free to jump ins. Even Mike Ross' Birdie seems pretty free to jump ins.

His mp is designed for little closer than jump distance jump-ins and crossups, it works just fine for its purpose.

MK and HK I assume are for farther jumps.

 

[GAV]

About Birdie's jump in D...

IN MKX, it would be fine - but this is SFV, where jump ins aren't free.
