Street Fighter V

Re: Street Fighter V

With all those resets, safes and high damage, expect a nerf on Mika (also valid for Nash and Cammy).

Capcom has said that they won't be releasing any balance patches for SFV until the Pro Tour is over. So these characters aren't going to change for a while.

Time to retire from ranked lmao. Seriously though, it's been quite the process to make it here. Couldn't let Razor leave me behind.

Now is the time to rank up while all the new post-EVO players are flooding the online population. It's like going to the gym the day after New Years and seeing a mob of overweight/underweight people.

I was able to go from 200 LP to 800 LP tonight with Balrog, blowing out most of the people who were close to my level, but still getting owned by a couple of players who were a thousand-plus LP above me.

This is the only close match I had during tonight's session, and I would have lost if the other guy was smart enough to let Balrog's full 5-hit vtrigger turn punch sequence finish before he tried to counter hit me:

People still aren't used to facing Balrog online, it seems. I frequently can get away with a bunch of unsafe stuff that is easily punishable on block, or catch people by surprise with moves like the turn punch and the gigaton blow that have invincibility frames.

Re: Street Fighter V

Just looked at Razor's profile and saw that neither of us has been in ranked again since hitting silver lmao. I'm probably gonna dip my feet back in there soon, but I've mostly been rocking Battle Lounges lately.

My PSN Plus runs out next week (and I'm not renewing it right now because i will have to spend a lot of money on other things), and I've been trying to finish Hard Survival (with no luck sadly).



I need to go back to ranked but i can't find a match since last Wednesday. Sometimes i find a match on casual, but I'm not even trying to play casual. I just set fight request to casual while playing survival.

Re: Street Fighter V



Let it never be said that I'm not a hard worker lol. Only ranked matches count towards this, otherwise I would've hit it a while ago.

And speaking of ranked, I've been playing again recently. I keep going back and forth between Silver and Ultra Bronze. I suppose that's my sweet spot until I improve.

Re: Street Fighter V

Yes! I didn't think we'd legit get Peter, but I wanted him in the game. Awesome.

Re: Street Fighter V

My boy told me the Peter thing is some mod. Argh.

Re: Street Fighter V

I'm still playing SFV but my Balrog remains a beginner, not a warrior:

CFN = jyoungOS

I haven't played at a tournament level in this series since Third Strike's glory days on the Dreamcast. I just play casually now.



If they bring Dudley and/or Sean to SFV I might take it more seriously. Those two were my boys back in the Dreamcast days. Balrog's cool and all but his lack of wakeup game continues to hurt me against good players online. You have to control the action with your normals and never let your opponent get going on offense or you're screwed if you don't have a bunch of meter to burn through to get back to neutral. His 3 frame jab can sometimes get you back to even, but only if the opponent isn't smart enough to crush through it with a higher priority move. Popular characters like Chun Li and Charlie who have dominant normal attacks are also very tough matchups for Balrog.

Well, let me say this...



If you're not into playing online against random players, then there's not much for you in this game. It is a blast to play with friends (locally or over the internet), so if that's what you want, you'll love the game as it is.



They've added a cinematic story mode last month, with roughly 3:30 hours of play/cutscenes. Other than that, single player content right now is composed by a great training mode (really, it offers a lot of interesting options so you can train specific setups in specific situations), a frustrating survival mode, a short individual (per character) stoey mode (3 fights per character) and the challenge mode (trials).



We are still waiting for the daily challenges that were promised before the release, and currently there's no arcade mode.



The game does have some balancing issues that are quite obvious, but not everyone admits this.



If you really want a more complete and polished fighting game, with single player content, i would tell you to try Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator or The King of Fighters XIV (try the demo, it might surprise you).
