[Krandor]

This has basically turned into the Evo thread since release.

Good video and comments for Chun or anyone starting Karin:

I have come to notice the teleporting lag happens more when I'm on PS4 playing someone on PC. PC to PC this doesn't happen and PS4 to PS4 is fine as well. It's like they didn't beta test them together or something.

Got to play a decent Vega for the first time, he is still really fucking good and his damage is crazy

I think it's probably to do with the tremendous amount of fucktards on wifi with the PS4.

I'm on a wired connection with my PS4 the other player was on PC... So it's definitely not that. It's someone I play all the time too. I tell them to switch to PS4 and the problem goes away

[Xno Kappa]

Oh nevermind. Misread what you said.

[Krandor]

I personally haven't noticed any real difference between PC or PS4 players outside of the potential for PC players to alt tab.

[Krandor]

Well, apparently Capcom agrees with Welt

[Deejay]

I never disagreed. He just needs to learn how to

I think Ken has major faults too but I'm still going to play him because he allows me to play the style that I'm most comfortable playing, and winning with him just feels more satisfying.

Every character has Pros/Cons.. Picking the one you can mold yourself around is kind of the point.

Real talk though, other then slightly lower base health, what weaknesses does Chun have?

Agreed. I never said her AAs were good, just that they're able to be effective. Still won't be able to put any time into SF5 until saturday

Still like Karin and what she does, but excited to try Alex and powerbomb niggas. @ Calli Vega's damage doesn't impress me at all, not sure what you're talking about.

@Kran, you obviously have more experience than me at this game but I always thought Chun is top 3 easily. I don't see any flaws in her game. Solid AA, Solid Damage, amazing footsie normals, a projectile, OK v trigger, a useful reversal even if it isn't a DP, and above all else ridiculous IALL pressure. She also has the highest execution cap as far as I can tell.

What do you think about Cammy though? I feel like she's really strong as well.

outside of LK AA she has ass for AAs and LK does little dmg. Her mix up game isnt very safe. her fireball isnt that great, its just ok.
ladt flaw: charge character

Dont get me wrong chun is good. but she is not retard level good. people just didnt adjust to her yet and rush down still applys against chun very well. Cammy is imho her worst nightmare. the more dive kick chars they introduce the worse she gets

[Krandor]

looooooooooooool

Go look at the hitboxes on her normals/command normals and try saying that again with a straight face.

There is someone really good with every character. It is hard to tell whether she is really good or really bad, but you can watch Kazunoko or Poongko playing Cammy to get an idea. They make her look good regardless if she is or is not.

Chun is top 3 easily, yes. Her game is great all around.

Also, to Deejay, I've only selected 2 characters in this game, ever. Karin 99% of the time and Ken 1% of the time (literally like once against Krandor on day 1). When I play the game, I'll play Karin. I just won't be playing the game very much because I don't think it is good compared to *any* of the previous versions. I'll still play it and try to like it because it is Street Fighter.

[Krandor]

It's really not hard to at least learn the basics of a character, even in just a few minutes.

While nowhere near to the level of my Bison, I can at least comfortably play probably half the cast at this point (Bison, Ryu, Nash, Necalli, Birdie, Gief, Karin). I'd only trust Bison at an actual competitive level right now though.

[Callisto]

I guess it's a good sign of the game's balance but everyone is screaming for my character to get nerfed while I can think of at least 4-5 characters of the top of my head that shit on her

[Krandor]

Mika's corner mixup game is op as fuck, but everything else about her is very subpar imo. A match against Mika is usually a matter of gradually whittling her down, or a complete blowup in either direction.
