You should have more than one character

He's probably said something like that, and if so, I agree

Would one of those USB MAME 6 or 8 button + joystick controllers be good for this? I've been thinking about getting one anyway so I can get really angry while playing Joust and if it worked great for SF5 that'd be a big bonus. tia

found a good claw, we ran about 35 matches right now. i think i gave birdie and bison too much credit in the laura matchup. those characters at least have a few things that laura can anticipate and take advantage of. claw beats laura 7-3 at worst. she can't punish any of his normals, slide beats anything she whiffs, she's can't pressure him with normals at all, and the command grab is worthless since claw has no reason not to at least mash jab whenever she gets in.

Unless it uses xinput, it won't work well at the moment.

An xbox 360 or xbox one stick should work though.

Strike quick and hurry at him,
not caring to hit or miss.
So that you dishonor him before the judges



So I'm learning Ryu and I'm having a difficult time actually getting in to do some damage. I'm following those videos posted in the old OP pretty strongly, with Ryu's cross up combo and stuff like that, but I can never seem to make it work without someone countering my jump in. How do I be more offensive with Ryu?

What is Karin's ideal against fireballs? Her V skill seems so pathetically incapable at blocking them, because you absolutely must be at range and have near zero reaction time.

Beyond the standard walking and block, and well timed jumps she has:

-V-Skill
- EX sappo
- The orochi follow-up to sappo
- V-Trigger: During V-trigger her rekkas negate projectiles
- HP ressenha


I figured out the series from a combo video, but I haven't seen this mid-screen combo posted anywhere, so might as well:

Karin, mid-screen, 1 bar:
cr.MP , st.MP xx JFL xx L.mujin , EX tenko (299 dmg, 430 stun)

The timing on the EX tenko can be a little tricky just because there's a smallish window to hit the right spot. To soon and you won't reach, too late and the body will hit the ground.

I love the addition of crush counters as it makes it easier to punish people for doing stupid stuff.

I also love FADC's being gone.

Now I just gotta stop doing stupid stuff because SF4 gave me bad habits. Whenever I do random canon drills, I need someone to slap me on the back of my head until I stop.

Objectively speaking her buttons aren't great, but relatively speaking 5mk and 5hp are the best pokes in the game

I will accept back any previous games 5mp or 5hp in exchange for everyone else getting better hitboxes though

It's not going to be any one thing. Here is fundamentally a way to approach Street Fighter: move close to your opponent via dashing from far/walking when closer than half screen and see what they do. You don't have to predict what someone does with this strategy as they will likely do one of about 3 things: Move close to you as well, in which case they are engaging "honestly" and this includes throwing a fireball or something. Move away until cornered. Or jump/dash at you asap, this would include specials like R.Mika drop kick. All 3 require some adaptation but the key is to be comfortable blocking and waiting, you can often bait someone to jump just by standing close to them and blocking a fireball or two or a sequence of attacks. Use that strategy to get a life lead then watch as most low level players absolutely crumble hitting bad buttons or continuing to jump. There is of course quite a lot of nuance here, but that is why people endlessly practice these games.

Better hitbox, similar range, even on block so you can ACTUALLY press buttons after doing it.

Maybe this hasn't occurred yet, but this is not any of those games. This is a different game than all of those, except for SFV. That is the game which I was talking about. Not any of the other ones. This one.

It is pure hell being one of (the?) weakest footsie person in this game, but god drat if you ever land his big combo after a standing HK crush counter? I imagine that's what sex feels like.

Which would explain why I get so excited that I end up squandering opportunities to do it most the time.
