Street Fighter V General Discussion

EMPEROR PRYCE

WAR SEASON "THE WEAK EXPOSED!"
Yeah i hate grabs in this game. Especially since there's no start up animation its just instant. I tech way more grabs in MKX even with the 50/50.
Well grabs in SFV can be OSd out of block stun if done early.

There's generally a few times where u will always throw tech. A few are as follows:
After a whiff jump in

After a quick normal (very few normals in Sfv can tick into throw without walking forward first, pretty easy to scout)

As a substitute for frame traps (these are easiest to tech cuz OS outta block stun)

What beats this OS is the "shimmy". Which is why u see a lot of tech attempts get punished.

It's fast but definitely easier to combat throws in street fighter than MKX. Although this wouldn't be the case if u didn't have to release block to tech, and have to guess the tech on MKX.

You should try throws in previous games. Throws in V and IV are considered some of the weaker ones in the series.

As a rule though, the series tends to encourage teching on prediction (if you're allowed to tech at all) over reaction.

I'll be back 3ing
You can see it is a backroll set-up. I was just giving insight into why it would work i.e. everyone would backroll into the set-up to avoid the fireball on quickrise

I only ask why do I need to play by the rules and read someones wake-up when others don't. I work just as hard to randomly dash up and throw someone as Necalli yet I'm not +25 for reasons and my throw doesn't corner carry 1/3 of the screen

I think Gief should KO on one SPD but we have to deal with the hands we are given.
