Posting some matches I had, hoping for some feedback. SFV is my first SF game and I only started playing yesterday so I don't really know all the mechanics and stuff. I think I'm doing pretty alright but I assume that's cuz I get matched up with ppl on my lvl... Anyways, if anyone could give me some feedback to help me understand the game better I would appreciate it a lot
A few advices :
1) Need to antiair those people jumping for free at you : use qcf+HP or s.MP>command dash>mixup
2) Stop using MP>MK command move. No use unless you wanna confirm your V-Trigger activation into a huge combo.
Better use these :
- low poke starter *** cMK>qcfLP (+2 on hit, safe on block, can frame trap or throw afterwards)
- long range starter *** f+HP>LP>qcfLP (same options)
- close range counter poke *** cLP>cMP>qcfLP (same options)
- frame trap *** MP>cMP>qcfLP or MP (depending on if you prefer a mixup or a KO+oki)
3) Cancel normals into command dash (in+throw / out+jumpin / overhead / out+overhead / in+command throw / in+frametrap) so that they have to worry about being too defensive and start pushing buttons (then apply frame traps)
4) Use LK>command throw when they block all day, then sHK if they quick rise, you can net some CC sometimes if they mash on wakeup.
5) When they start jumping out of your throws, you can punish a neutral jump with a qcfHP, if they jump back, you don't have many options though.
6) Be patient and block more. Worst case, you hit 120 damage from a throw, it's way less than spamming buttons and getting CC or frame trapped into 300+
7) Try and use MP>MK>V-Trigger>cMP>EX fireball>HP into
----------- A) slow fireball > command grab
----------- B) fast fireball > LK > qcfLP etc
----------- C) command dash >mixup (can dash behind or stay in front of your opponent)
