Street Fighter V General Discussion

Normalize grab immunity.
It's not really a mentality, it's just the truth. They took away a bunch of dumb stuff but then just gave other characters dumb stuff. It was a poor balance patch in that regard. Everybody just wants to play a more balanced neutral-heavy game.

I do enjoy the game to some extent, but I disagree with their balancing method at this time.
I read your post more like "urien needs to lose stuff". Which I read into meaning eventually a cycle of always toning down whoever is at top. Not to say that no character should ever get nerfed. Just applied a worst case scenario to your post.

Saying S1 and S2 toptier are the same bs is delusional. Laura, Balrog, and Urien had the same neutral as before. Urien EX tackle was the same, Balrogs vtrigger/ex moves/ resets were the same, and Laura killing you in a few hits is the same. Welcome to what good players already knew when you guys were too busy blaming your loses on s1 toptier/your character.

Oh well. This version of the toptier is way better and it sucks they did Fang/Alex players wrong

balrog didn't have the same neutral as before though

the new low and the turnaround punch buff are big. so like half true I guess.

Close range Balrog is using it to catch walking back out of pressure it's not really a neutral sitstuion and turnaround punch is throw invincible what does it matter

This explains why my precious ego won't let me watch my losing replays and RELISHES in my wins

Lol... No
Everybody has an ego, but if you keep things in perspective - it won't hold you back. Ego is exactly why LTG isn't where he should be as a player. He always blames the matchup or calls his opponent cheap because it couldn't possibly be something he's doing or not doing. To a lesser extent, it holds back Brady too. He will take an L here and there, but if his opponent goes on a streak - he inevitably blames the matchup. He isn't a jerk about it like LTG is, but it does hurt him as a player. Brady has great setups and has consistent execution, but when in doubt - CLONE - and that makes him predictable.

Yeah none of this has anything to do with what we were actually talking about.

Even though I think some changes to s2 suck like wakeup DP nerf (I don't play a shoto but still don't like it, although it still works and it's truly invincible as an aa) I'm still loving how this game rewards both defense and offense. I've played players who went ham on me and destroyed me, others who with the same character played defensively and out poked,shimmied,footsied me. Which to me says that skill is greatly rewarded here no matter your style of play.

I think the DP nerf is great.
