Normalize grab immunity.
Can you stop people from dashing into grab with pokes? Everytime I try it just seems to go through me
You have to be on point, so if you don't trust your reactions try to at least press throw. People tend to not dash in and mash their quickest button so at worst you tech.

depends on the character and what they press after. Bisons dash is 22 frames and the quickest thing he's gonna realistically do is throw, so you've got 23 frames to press a 3 frame button. Or 34 frames to tech(22 dash frames + 5 frames throw startup= 27 frames plus a 7 frame tech window).

34 frames is definitely reactable. 23 is tough, but bisons got a pretty obnoxious looking dash so it's doable.

He has everything from 3rd Strike! So hyped. And he has the suit as his default, hope he has a classic costume

Real talk, I hate Chun's B+HP. That normal is either God or the anti-Buyacushun button.

Urien's theme sounds like a pokemon encounter.

What does it mean when a matchup is"unstable"? I don't think I've heard that word used with matchups @buyacushun
I'm not too sure. My guess would be if the MU is easy to sway in someone's favor. Upper left (unstable advantangoues MU) is Mika and she can steal away a match in a blink of an eye. Bottom right (unstable disadvantageous MU) is Chun-Li and she overall top tier and is a very stable character so I'm guessing she easily beats Rashid. So it seems like the closer to "unstable" the more powerful their is some tool or set of tools that mess with the MU for Rashid.

An unstable matchup is one where certain factors in the match can change which character is favored(positioning, life total, meter). So mika would always be unstable, because when she's not in yours favored, but if she's in you're getting wrecked.

Anyone want to play a bit? I'll probably lag or disconnect though. It's a 50/50 just like waking up in SFV.

Nash/Ryu top tier. Chun is great but those two are greater.
No. Ryu you could try to argue is better than chun(but you'd be wrong). Nash is far weaker than chun, her neutral is almost the same, but she also has a reversal, has a 3 frame button, has a more reliable and imo better v trigger, and can combo off of lights into mediums with no CH, her IA legs are way better than moonsaults as well.

Just about the only thing Nash has going for him over chun is a better fireball and better dashes.

I have some more questions. How is this game on pad? Like, does using the DPad on a PS4 controller make anything in particular more difficult than if you were on stick? Also in training mode, do you have a way to look at all your frame data?

pad vs stick is just preference, and no you can't check frames in game. There's an app for that.

ALL I HAVE IS THE GREEN.
since when have top players been honest about their mains though? I distinctly remember quite a few of them giving out some serious disinformation.
That's true. It's all just opinion anyway. I would take any of these with a grain of salt (literally). PR Rog has been notoriously wrong and a cry baby for a long time. Dude whines about everything. To his credit, Alucard agreed with the list but said he thinks Ken bodies Balrog and PR has him even.
