Street Fighter V General Discussion

I play like complete ass. I feel like I have a very good understanding of how the game works and the nuances and mind games involved and I have a decent technical understanding of FGs in general - I consider myself having been very solid at SFIV (i dont have an equivalent comparison, but if it were possible to convert it into SFV terms Id have been mid-high plat) - but SFV, i just dont know. Its why I post and bitch so much. Its like the game works entirely counter to my instincts and what I want to do. I never feel comfortable or in control, I second guess myself, etc.. But in all honesty, I just dont play the game much. I did for the first 5 weeks or so I got it in s1, but since the end of s1, Ive barely played more than 2-3 sets a week. Rushdown probably doesn't know it, but I've played *almost* exclusively against him since about s2 drop.
I feel the same way sometimes, but also in mkx, like everyone learns everything faster than me. But yea it also helps to play like A LOT!

It's all so very confusing.

Sigh. MKX is still a sore spot. Lol. I got MKX and was ready to take on the planet. I was gonna git gud blah blah. So, we all know how bad the PC port was.. game was rough, then they released, I don't remember if it was the first or second performance patch/hotfix but it essentially broke the game for me and I couldn't play for weeks and weeks. Huge graphical stuttering, the well documented all-but-worthless netcode, etc. Then they patched the performance and even though the net code was ass, I figured ok, NOW I can play this game, but no. Thats when they announced no kp2/balance changes for PC and we could go eat a back of penises. I left in disgust. I had tried like hell to build a local scene , with almost no success. I was so pissed. Fast forward a long time and they stopped Mkxl and it ran great on my PC and the netcode was/is incredibly good.. I tried to come.back to the game but by then it had just been too long. Too distracted, too many other games. Lol.

I have no idea why I typed all that. I'm bored while my macaroni heats up. I refuse to use a microwave.

I vote we remove blocking by community consensus, like how the Smash community bans stages and items and other such things. Lets also remove kicks and punches and make the game entirely about special moves. Command normals can stay, but no TCs.

Ok thanks, so if you connect with his overhead then cancel into demon it get them right? What about on block though?
No. you can't combo into it on hit unless you cc them. And here's a real old video I made of some demon setups be warned they don't work on people that mash so just take your counter hits and be happy.

Demon functions like a command grab if you put them in hit or block stun you have to wait for it to end to have them be grabable

Meh.. Blocking is not necessary for Gief: https://oddshot.tv/s/IsNNjY

You can EX SPD demon from just inside sweep range but I guess Akuma is not going to do that from that range.
I mean you could also jump it and full combo punish from that range. If it's close enough though you can't since demon hits frame one and I don't think you can input an ex spd in one frame. I'd have to try it but I don't think it can be input and start in one frame.

Does anyone else find it annoying that you can be knocked out of your EX specials by light jabs and tech grabbed out of them? I was using Urien one time, I do his EX Knee Drop, my opponent actually air grabbed me.

No, it is part of the game. Unless the move has special properties then it can be beaten by stuff.
