Resolution through knowledge and resolve.
IMO you can get to Gold with any character if you anti air consistently, take advantage of people who can't anti air, and you know how to deal with gimmicks (e.g., Rassenha and moves like that).

If anyone is struggling below that level I'd recommend focusing on just that. Literally don't try to play footsies at all (it will feel weird ignoring that entire part of the game), but it's honestly not necessary and even counterproductive at lower levels (e.g., if you are trying to whiff punish normals against a maniac, I guarantee you will get jumped on).

If you run into someone who is patient and won't fall for the above easily, just throw a few fireballs, walk around near them, and/or poke them a few times, and 90% will give up on being patient.
This actually clears up why I was so successful because it describes how I approach the game. Most players thought I was bummy, but couldn't even put a dent in my health bar.

Lol.

I borrowed a Ps4 the first week the game was out. I played and played and was eventually getting matched with top 100 players.

It wrang a bit hollow for me. I know it sounds like tough talk and I wish I had been moved enough to want to talk tough, but it just felt easy. I'm not saying that losing isn't frustrating, but I love the struggle. Thats what moves me and it just wasn't there in most matches.
So week one players. Aka players that don't know the matchup and have little game experience. Ok.

I'm a week 2. :p

Not really though. SF2's skills and frame data are mostly applicable to SFV - at least as it was.

The frame data numbers in MKX have to be known by players to be used in effective application. In SFV, the frame data is pretty much exactly what it looks like.
 
Why don't NRS games last as long as Capcom ones? How long did Capcom support SF 4? I heard that they're gonna support SF 5 more years. I wish nrs did the same. Some people might disagree but nrs plays a huge role in letting their games fade out honestly.,

NRS makes WB a shit ton of cash to spit out games every 2 ish years pretty sure its all about the money :(

It's all so very confusing.
Finally home. Gonna be on here in an hour or so. Sets anyone? If not I'll see if ranked is any less cancerous in the lagg department.

Still on my character hunt. Today is Guile, possibly Urien and revisit to Rashid.

you must be the sickest player ever then. Cause I see hundreds of people that can't tell the frame data by looking, and I strongly disagree that it is what it looks like. Akuma f hp doesn't look plus, everyone lets Urien press buttons after a f mp, so many people misconfirm when they block ibukis overheads cause they think it's punishable etc etc. grats on being godlike. Although if you're top 100 you should probably play more and get at that 500k.

Normalize grab immunity.
I think cammy is in a great place right now. The biggest things she has are good buttons and tick throw pressure. Both of which I wouldn't classify as overbearing problems. I don't know what you'd nerf on her besides damage or frames somewhere and only slightly before you start having to adjust other things. She doesn't move quickly across the screen safely, her divekick stuff isn't plus. Really her biggest things are great buttons. And I don't think that's necessarily a nerf worthy thing when people have been fighting those normals for years now.
