Street Fighter V: A Preliminary Thread

[shidobu]

hence my rip comment.

Makes me wonder if there will be a CPT next year... if this cant improve? Cause if the "epsports" shit dont catch on this is a sinking ship if the beach costumes dont make bank

[Deejay]

Sony is bank rolling the pro tour, so it's on them. Digital sales does more for them and I could argue at least 30% of that figure could be added as download sales... Still wouldn't match IV though

Maybe Capcom/Sony had a 2-3 year CPT agreement in their contract. My friend told me there is no excitement there because they are having to use 2chbbs instead of arcades.

The owners over time chart on Steam is the most important factor atm imo. The game saw 70k copies between preorder/release day purchases, and about 40k since then. Including one day where owners of the game DROPPED due to refunds. Those numbers reflect the non hardcore playerbase that waited to see what they were getting their hands on, and 40k isn't a good showing for a title with as much press behind it as this got.

Karin's AA options are so pathetic. I'm playing hard mode having to just block these jump-ins. Maybe I should try command dashing under them, but that seems so bad.

doesnt she have stand heavy punch? isnt the hitbox on that retarded? and doesnt she have a decent cr.heavy?

[Krandor]

Her cr HP hitbox is worse then it looks. Her best AA without burning meter is probably her stand jab, but that's not gonna do you any favors on trades.

Game is loosing novelty for me.
Not because of the core fight mechanics, but because there arent any 4 man lobbys etc. i allways enjoyed doign endless lobbys in 4 and watch other peopel fight when i lost a match. Also everytime someone activates a V-Trigger (especially my own on Chun) the game starts to lag. . .

This has been one of the more awkward parts of the transition for me since I'm so used to Juri having at least 5 anti-air options at any given time.

You're probably the only one here who had an even more busted AA than I did in IV, lol

In general AA options seem much slower in this game (unless you're Chun since she gets fucking everythinnnggg lol), between that and it still taking a few frames to remember what my actual AAs are on the new character I'm getting bodied pretty hard by jumpins, I miss my cr.hp crutch

[Deejay]

I made a point to play a character with a dope AA in this game for the sole reason that I feel like my game plan revolved around it lol

Ryu, Chun, Brazil chick, and Cammy all have excellent AA options. Those are just characters I know about having them from playing against good players. Karin's cr.HP is probably the worst AA in the whole fucking game. I guess it will make me better when I switch to a character that actually has an AA.

For the record, Karin startup on stHP is like 8 frames or something. That is only good against terrible players that I don't even need AA to beat. For a character with no projectiles, you would think they would give her something decent in terms of AA. Sadness.

Who can play tonight? I need to lose like 50 in a row.

[Krandor]

AA that bugs more then anyone else is FANG. Absolutely fucking impossible to cross him up unless the player is taking a nap.

Speaking of a different AA, I've found that the game looks alot better on PC if you turn anti-aliasing down to Medium. The Max setting is way too fucking much, but Medium seems like a really good balance with a minimum of jaggies.

I believe it's also possible to do an EX Inferno over a downed opponent, then V Trigger and dash thru them as they're rising.

[Weltall]

I'm actually excited to see US v JP. I hope enough of them come to Final Round. If they show up with all the OS tech, it will be a wrap. I don't see anyone in the US using any of it yet.

[Nitsuki]

Gonna be on in a short bit tonight.

[Callisto]

I am literally the worst player I know personally at this game lol

[samalis]

I am down to get bodied if we get multiple 2 man lobbies. Also speaking of AA's fuck birdies headbutt. I am straight up on the other side of birdie doing a deep cross up and that thing still AA's me.

[Weltall]

Sam I'll play you after I'm done w/Calli. What was your fighter ID? Sure I have it but don't wanna find that page on thread (update the OP!!)
