Street Fighter V General Discussion

It's all so very confusing.
Hm. Karin got a useless Air TC. St.lk is only +1 (down from like +3.. wow). VReversal sends them super far, allowing for no follow-up. No jab AA 50/50 reset. This is what I can find so far.

The TC sounds pointless.
St.lk down to +1.. Shrug. not character killing. She still has pressure.
VReversal w/ no followup.. Im bad and always forget to use it. So, out of the gate this would mean nothing.
Jab AA no 50/50.. This just needed to happen.


I mean, if that is all she gets hit with, that isnt much. I didnt realize she only had 900 health. I thought she was 950.

I dunno, I'm just exploring different characters. She is super fast and crazy mobile, which is what I *want*, and with Nash's mobility getting punched in the dick for no damn reason, I just dunno. I am in a shitty neutral zone right now on characters, I just dont know what to do or who to go to because we dont know what additional changes we will see. I'm still interested in Ken, but his nerfs hurt what I wanted him for pretty directly, so I dunno.

I'm not looking for a top tier, auto-win character, Ken needed nerfs, Nash honestly didnt. I feel like he was a REALLY good example of a STRONG character that wasnt OP by any means - with the current top tier getting taken down a peg, I can see him getting a little something, just so he doesnt emerge as top 2-3 by dint of NOT being changed. And again, as has been said, its dangerous to jump to conclusions and make assumptions when we just dont know how things will flesh out, but the nerfs to Ken and Nash very directly impact the *reasons* I play Nash and the reasons I was planning on playing Ken. Fingers crossed, but as of right now I think my character focus will be shifting.

Have we heard anything about Juri yet?

I'll be back 3ing
I find it funny that Karin got a 50/50 side-switch that was more damaging than the one that cost Ibuki a 3 bar V-trigger.

Season 1 has been so categorically unfair it's insane and people said this game was balanced

His forward dash is a bit slower but still pretty fast. His backdash nerf tho is pretty noticeable as well as his vtrigger. EX sonic scythe being an inv reversal is pretty dank.
That doesnt look too horrible, but it def hurts. It gives me a little more enthusiasm. Akuma though.. maaaaaaaaaan I cannot wait.

I might practice some Cammy this month to prepare for Akuma. Kroaken mad a good point in that shes ultra low health and a DP character. Might be good to semi get used to Akuma when he drops, cause I have every intention learning him.

Anyone want games vs my super amazing, I dont know combos Cammy here in a bit?

If our connections can agree I'd be down to play.

Outside of the obvious of not having a fireball, she strikes me as most similar defensively and offensively.

What's everyone's thoughts on invincibility needing meter? I'm not too fond of it. I hope that and no midscreen throw pressure aren't cast wide changes. Could lead to a lot of "just throw me" situations to get back to neutral. And I feel like it increases the homogenization problem some people have with the game.

I'm a fan of throws not leading into pressure midscreen. I think it was a good change that will improve the neutral game. There were just too many throw loops. Now, you need to have them in the corner (so I've heard) to get oki off a throw.

Invincible DP's needing meter I'm on the fence about. For a character like Necalli or Cammy, I think it's a good change. For Ryu, I think it's kind of weird and it's really going to hurt him in the long run. He was designed to have that so I hope they buffed him in other ways. Also, meter building is supposedly much slower, so you won't have as much meter to use on invincible DP's. With the nerf to DP's and white life regenerating slower, it's going to make the game more about pressure, which is actually more interesting.

Wellp. I for one don't play those scrubby dp chars so I am for it :)

Why are they buffing urien this hard lmao


I really need to get my hands on these patch notes that Guile Cr. HP CC is gdlk but I have to test myself to see if they really ruined his vtrigger/corner combos all around. I'm totally ok with HPno longer CC'ing even better
