Do Street fighter Games usually have a Balanced Cast?

[Spencer]

I'm wondering because if street fighter 5 has a Balanced Roster and Good NetCode Im probably Buying Sf5.

If any of you played Street Fighter 4 can you tell me how the online experience was and how balanced the roster was... Thanks in Advance.

Lol no. Capcom games usually end up having dominant top tiers. The community is also less receptive to quick balance changes and hotfixes.

SF4 has horrible netcode that's still a step ahead of MKX. Wait for SFV since it has much better netcode.

Capcom games need a balance patch or two (which game doesn't?) But I find the style of gameplay to be more "reasonable". Characters have their advantages and disadvantages but I never feel it's too ridiculous like marvel or mkx. Save for a character or two.

 

[FOREVER EL1TE]

While SF usually has dominant top tiers, it has been noted that almost any character in that game can win a tourny

 

[Eldriken]

Unless it's DeeJay or Dan.

This isn't true at all

Idk how people say Street Fighter 4 netcode is bad. I usually have no problem playing online.

 

[Spencer]

Better NetCode awesome


Hey can someone please tell me now the beta works.

Could I Put 5 dollars on Amazon to preorder street fighter 5 would that get me the code to play?

Or do I have pay full price?

Is the beta over?

Idk why people believe there are real balance issues in this game. "Dropping MKX" due to balance issues? The top 3 characters are Lao, Tanya and Quan...only one has won a major recently. I don't want to be that guy but adapt. Learn the ins and outs of the game better before you start claiming that it is unbalanced and looking for other games to play because of "balance issues" and "lack of fundamentals". Do you even know what fighting game fundamentals are? Can you apply them? If you aren't good with MKX fundamentals you will be shit in a footsie heavy game like SF. The truth is the truth.

SF4 ended up being pretty well balanced, though it took them a long time to reach that point.

Seriously, they spent years fine-tuning SF4 - MKX, by comparison, has had 6 months. All things considered, the balance in MKX isn't all that bad, even if it's maybe not (yet) as good as SF4.

As for online, it's... OK. Better than MKX, for sure.

This is so true lol.

I Play MK, SF, and Tekken, and i'm pretty good at each.

 

[Prinz]

Good fight fundamentals? Lol. The only reason to switch to SF is the gameplay, since SF is a more footsie based game, while MK is more rush-down and some zoning, more aggressive. But if fundamentals are your problem, SF is gonna be worse.

 

[Error404]

Not really no. At least 3rd strike and and SF 4 didn't.

Dude I can do the toughest execution combos in this game and IAFB consistently.

I'm Actually really good at this Mkx.
I Never said this game had balance issues.

And I'm not comparing this game to street fighter.

All I Basically asked was basically for a review.

I mOstly play Online my area South Carolina has like No TOurnaments and I can't afford to travel.

I wanted to know if the game usually has good Netcode and characters that are not to much better than each other.Thats it geez.

I meant to say Good fight Mechanics I miss used the word "Fundamentals". I BODY people on MKX.

SF has a different playstyle, it's more deffensive. SF5 seems to have run so don't know how that'd turn out. Btw, go to some tournaments, win some cash if you're that good.

 

[Espio]

The online for SSF4 was pretty decent and enjoyable. Not an expert on the balance so I'll decline commenting on it.

 

[EntropicByDesign]

SF balance is great. SF netcode is solid. It's not the be-all end-all, but its very solid. I have zero issues with SF online, even randoms. Sure some games are crap, but that's gonna happen.

SF is different than MKX, but neither is better or worse (except.netcode, MKX is worse) .

SF has excellent balance at this point. In the upper-most crust of competition, no, the low tiers aren't gonna win a major against Daigo on E-Ryu, but outside of that level of competition, low tiers in SF can dominate in the hands of someone who knows how to play them. If you are a better player, you will win regardless of.character.

 

[EntropicByDesign]

Unless you.play El'f. If you intend to play El'f, SF don't want ya.

 

[Enexemander]

It looks like character imbalances in SF4 aren't quite a big a deal as in MKX, because the game is more footsie based and there's less damage overall.

I'm really looking forward to SF5 in a big way.

 

[Eddy Wang]

It took 5 years for a friend of mine figure it out that in SF4 if you're knocked down, you're fucked, ahaha. He hates Ibuki so much lol

 

[enkil]

Ultra is well balanced, but Capcom tries to not buff the bottom tiers too much. I kind of like the idea taking some time between balance changes and updates, unless something is broken. SFV felt good in the beta. The netcode (Steam) was solid for around 90 percent of the matches for me.

Then why not prove it and win that ESL money?

Landing high execution combos does not mean you are a good player or even decent.
