Street Fighter V General Discussion

[ILuvFightGames]

I guess I'm lucky I really suck and only play casual with my shit Internet, I get matchups every 20 seconds lol. I literally can't do more than 30 seconds in training mode without getting another fight. My settings is set to accept any bars.

waiting for a meaningful boxer answer......

You play ryu. Your option has always, and will always be to outplay your opponent. It's how he works.

This game is flat out ruined by the netcode. Ill go up in ranked only to be beaten by a laggy ryu. Im done. Let me know when the netcode gets better.

Yea I'll play with friends here and there but I am not gonna take this game very seriously until the netcode is fixed. Seriously its 2017 Capcom.

Ok, I'm dropping Laura and maining Ryu.

Agreed. That's a weird switch.. probably top 5ish Laura to probably bottom 5ish Ryu..

Of course it's almost certain that Ryu is going to get adjusted in the balance patch so it's probably a better move then it seems..

And @ILuvFightGames - if you have your connection set to any bars I don't doubt you get matches every few seconds, but how in the hell are they playable? Like I said, if I set mine to 3-5 bars, I have long waits and TERRIBLE connections. I can't imagine setting it to any connection strength.

 

[freerf245]

I set mine to 4-5 bars and find a game within about 3-5 minutes. about 2/3 are most certainly not 5 bar connections.

 

[NaCl man]

I set mine to 5 only and still get some bad ones. If it cant find 5 it will match you with whatever comes up. In saying that it has said 2 bars and the match is fine and then the next march will be 5 and its laggy af.

They're actually very playable, I don't get too much lag but when I do I know it's on my side.

I'm off today and if the past informs today at all, I'll sleep until about 1230-1 then head home and be on by 2-ish

 

[Sutter Pain]

I usually sleep at 12ish pm but since my surgery my schedule is messed up and have been waking up around 10ish pm.

Gotcha. I work 3rds, 12hrs at a time but it's all sitting around and I sleep at work for a handful of hours every night, but I'm still to exhausted to do shit when I get off most of the time. The problem is that my schedule gives me three days off a week but they aren't ever back to back, like right now is technically my day off.. but I'm still at work. So I fluctuate from day to day, one day I'm up all night and one day I'm up all day, so if I want to try to have a life and enjoy a day off, I have to get off work, force myself to only sleep a handful.of hours and get back up.

That has a lot to do with why I don't play as much as I should I think. A lot of the time I'm just so damn tired I sit at my computer and can't muster the mental.energy to compete lol

Yeah I work 3rd shift also its very hard to have a normal life especially when it comes to family holiday stuff that is right in the middle of your usual sleeping schedule.

 

[@MylesWright_]

I feel sick when I use Juri in this game sometimes.

You lose the ground game to characters that outdamage you, have more health than you and then have mix-ups and setplay you dont. Everything is against you and even when your somehow winning it means they have V-trigger to hit you once and win anyway.

 

[Sutter Pain]

rashid should be banned from being played online that shit is bs lol.

 

[Paul the Octopus]

Yeah we will have to see what Storm Kubo does - he is an Alex player who made it to Japan's prestigious Topanga league. Maybe he will show us a good way to play him, but I personally don't really get it right now lol.

In terms of switching off Alex - it depends what you want to get from playing SFV. If you just want to have fun and improve your fundamentals I think continuing to play Alex is fine. If you want to win more (which is totally legit as well), I wouldn't recommend Birdie lol, he is decent but there are much easier characters to play. IMO Laura, Urien, and Balrog (in no particular order) are the easiest to get results with.

As an update to this - Storm Kubo has yet to win a set in Topanga lol. So far, sure seems like Alex is quite weak at high level.
