Street Fighter V General Discussion

[xiskza]

I'd say its more of a mixed reaction. Judging by the polls on her I've seen, more on the positive than the negative.
The trailer didnt do her justice, people during the Capcom-Unity stream were really liking her (oddly enough they had a much better stream than WSO). The animations are good, just a bit too smooth, they lack impact. Its just her CA that's terrible.
When you slow them down is when you can really appreciate the details of her movements. People totally overreacted, even myself tbh. Some people are just mad she's not the typical staff user, since she uses it more like a gun - to me this is a good thing. Its unique, and it doesnt invalidate Rolento from ever coming to SFV.

JUST saw that video. She has a cute corner game.

From what I see, she can be a great zoner with her fireballs and long pokes, but she can also play the agressive corner combo game. She's gonna be a tricky one. A lot of potential there, but its gonna take time to figure her out.

Falke look pretty good and fun to play.

 

[NHDR]

more than half the cast can get around blocking a projectile. it doesnt mean anything, when will people realize you lose to guile all the time cuz ur not good at the matchup, not because his zoning is impossible to navigate.

think about it. you have a character like balrog already in the game who literally can fly across the screen in an instant while avoiding a projectile. You still had these season 2 balrog players confused about the guile matchup. what does falke having a coward crouch matter to people who dont even know how to use their characters let alone fight guile

The average player hasn't figured out how to get past zoning since SF2. That doesn't mean Falke won't potentially be a counter-pick against Guile. Some players are good enough to abuse a matchup in their favor, some are not.

So Ryu and Laura are bottom tier in this patch according to some pros. But my 3rd character is top tier which is akuma, interesting.

Welp. After watching some of the Falke breakdown stuff and gameplay.. I am officially sold on trying her out. She actually looks like she has a LOT of potential, provided she isn't nerfed before release. If she keeps the standing +2 ob low combo starting command normal and the weird divekick-a-ma-jig that's so ambiguous and causes that bounce back.. she has some really interesting stuff going on.

I went from pretty neutral to actually excited. Fingers crossed.

Laura was the first Abigail (except she actually won some shit). Don’t ever expect a grappler to stay above low mid tier for long in a Street Fighter game.

Akuma is always top tier.

I'd say Mika has been a consistent top tier/high mid tier in SFV. Abigail is still very strong in 3.5...

I don’t think there’s any chance in hell either of those characters are even close to top tier now and if they are, I’d bet good money they just get nerfed again.

 

[LiangHuBBB]

This is how Zeku should've been on release.

They are still top tier. Not Akuma/Cammy tier, but high tier. Probably B+

 

[EntropicByDesign]

Zeku looks really good after the patch, he's a lot closer to what i was hoping to see from the start.

 

[ILuvFightGames]

Zeku has to have the most ambiguous jump in kick cross up in the game, even pros get hit with it all the time.

 

[Linkuei82]

Ya I think Zeku has an awesome design. I love the concept of him switching between his older and younger self.

the point is capcom doesnt need to bless these scrubs with a chracter to counteprick guile, as if he’s out of control and prioritized a direct counter for him. people should worry about becoming better players instead of banking on sick urien vtrigger setups man or abigail type characters designed for 5 year olds to feel good

 

[JBeezYBabY]

Soooo has Faulke been relesed yet ?Question mark?
