Well your just better than me in general but it feels like probably even or slight advantage with Urien but just from his long reaching normals. Idk what to do about divekick
st. mp will beat divekick everytime, you have to let go off that autopilot jab aa stuff. having a 3 framer works out well in several situations too. Urien having a 4 framer blows against Balrog, but i don't think you take advantage of this enough.

i think the problem boxer has is the universal issue of his defense and the combination of Urien's neutral being almost Nash-like, but Balrog really doesnt lose to him either so idk. Let's play it more

the one thing I've noticed urien has in neutral over Nash is how hard it is to on reaction navigate his fireballs. The speed difference is a lot more drastic than Nash's and the ability to charge them makes it difficult to slide under or neutral jump them. Annoys my Mika to slide under/peach over. Probably makes it difficult for rog to v skill through them.

Pretty funny you made that comparison because I was thinking almost the exact same thing earlier. Trades a little bit of the mobility for better defensive options, but very similar tools/play styles in neutral.

Among other things Tokido thinks Juri is the worst DLC character in the game unsurprisingly

hey man I'm down for a circle jerk about how shazzy is a god, my Mika is ass, and how Myles thinks every character in the game is bottom 1. However, every once in awhile it's nice to learn something about the game.
I don't feel like I've played actual SFV for it's first year. If they don't make drastic changes to the game I at least want to be part of the meta and feel like a special snowflake for randomly pressing a button that happen to crush counter which earns me 30%, the corner and guaranteed oki
 
not if i time it right u can't and yeah it's only corner only
I meant to say I can stuff the ex hooligan into the slide before you even reach the highest point of the move. I think you are better off doing ex dive from the hooligan, at least you have more chance of hitting especially if the opponent tries to anti air.

I can see what Xian means when he said the top tiers are not just better but have a higher skill ceiling as well. Ken is winning and placing in tournaments so consistently and he hasn't even been optimized.. Ken at 80% power is a Top 5 character
 

God Confirm

We're all from Earthrealm. If not, cool pic brah.

what do you mean hasnt been optimized?
 
No one has perfected Kens hit confirms. Only Momochi is confirming 'almost' every b.mp into target combo, OSing jab so tatsu only comes out on hit, cr.mk into dp etc
not true at all. There's more high level players working out tech for characters like chun/ken/necalli/Mika than there are Fang/Ibuki/Laura/gief etc. I guarantee you the top tiers are closer to optimized than the bottom tiers.

The reverse also holds true, how many kens get away with pressing buttons while negative?

My Mika has literally never once been punished for using her target combo on block. People just don't do it. Not sure why. There's undiscovered tech on all sides and with all characters. Never seen someone punish it in competitive play either btw.
