Street Fighter V General Discussion

It's all so very confusing.
Preliminary thoughts on Sakura?

I'm.. I'm reserving judgement. I keep telling myself this isn't SFiv Sakura and maybe if I start to listen...

That st.mp though. Ugh.

There are some whiff issues with standing strong to back fierce and crouching foward. I think it's too early to say I she is good or bad especially all the changes around the board. I remember when there were talks that Ibuki, Akuma, and Urien were not good. Again they got more buffs and people realized they were actually always good in the old meta lol.

I was hoping that someone could tell me if anything was NOT purchasable with real $$, just so I know going in what I have to earn, and what I can just use my store credit/$$ for.
You can use FM to buy characters, non-CPT stages, and story costumes. You can also buy these with real money.

You can only use real money to buy battle costumes, nostalgia costumes, and the other premium costumes, as well as the CPT stages.

If you're going to buy it, buy the AE Disk/Edition to get S1+2 characters for free.

Anyone know a good Ken and/or Juri resource/guide kinda thing? I'm going to hunt around myself when I get on the comp,but figured I'd ask.

And yes, I know, dp forever and the usual Ken advice/nonesense Ken stuff, but I've been out of the sfv loop for a while and I'd like to brush up some and truncate my training mode timr a little.

Patch notes say "increased recovery of opponents on block by 3 frames" so I'm not 100% sure.



Thats cool, damn I wish I was good lol
since AE I gotta say Capcom has rly improved the matchmaking
I only got matches vs players around my point lvl so far

ya i heard that this might no be exclusive to grandmaster now . even diamond rank might not see plats or at least gold


matchmaking feels like you can get somehwere now
 
I'm two years late to the party, I'm probably going to stay offline for a bit of time until I feel truly comfortable with Akuma. What are some of the most popular characters online to lab against?

nobody down there plays off tier list so hard to tell. if i had to guess at the lower ranks its the easy to play characters so all the shotos or dp characters with the occasional waifu character here and there

Thanks. Picked the disc up today. Gotta get a fight stick, as I've never been decent at SF on pad. Any recommendations for a PS4 compatible stick?

I have the Hori Rap4 and Hori RapN. As you can tell I really like Hori with the design of the Hayabusa lever. Not people like the designe of the older Hori buttons but the Matte buttons on the RapN feels amazing. Qanba makes really good sticks too. The Panthera is the official fightstick now for SF since Madcatz went under.

Great info. I'll look into all these, and see what strikes my fancy.

Ive forgotten how to play this game. I never knew in the first place really.

Anyone up for sets in 30m? I'll have an hour or so before work. Probably Ken and Juri. Maybe Sakura.
