May as well start a thread now that the game is officially out. I do like the core game, but this release was really janky. I'll be glad when the online gets stabilized and the other content rolls in, like multi-man lobbies. Would be great to have some OTT sessions. So who is everyone maining? I'm sticking with Karin though I may mess around with Ryu and Balrog when he drops. EDIT:

 So is there ever a situation where it's -not- a good idea to back tech on wakeup? It seems like it outright beats most traditional meaty options. Anyone who hasnt already added me in Steam should do so: steamcommunity.com/id/NobleCack/ |

I kind of don't like this game right now  Feel like a fresh scrub all over again, which isn't a good feeling. How do I turn this into motivation when everyone can ignore my anti airs I really need to play you guys so I can train matchups. Otherwise it's forever Rookie for me. |

After getting used to the game and Sim, I'm starting to like it more. But I don't see it as a game I'll be grinding every day down the line.
Sums up my feelings on the game. Not a bad game, and the combat feels good (for the most part). But it lacks some of the substance that even dry games like A2 have, somehow.

I'm becoming an active Sim boards member now.
aaaa
It's like 2011 all over again, except I'm more informed now
So I think I know why some older SF players might be struggling with SFV. It's Punishes: The Game. Capcom really wants new players to be able to recognize unsafe play, force unsafe play, make safe play, and punish bad play. The abundance of counters, counter followup options, unsafe sweeps, and x beats y options seem to testify this. People were thinking it would be a strong neutral footsies game like the Alpha series, but it's really quite different (even if punishing is an integral part of footsies itself). Good players will still be rewarded, and new players will grow up by learning one of the core elements of the fighting game genre. For players who have played SF games but are more accustomed to older playstyles, though, we'll have to adapt.
The part I dislike the most about this game, though, is the close-range game. Right now there's a lot of sitting there while fishing with jabs, because a lot of other buttons will just get beaten out at that range. Jabs being strong is probably another part of teaching new players how to set up frame traps, anti air, etc. Dunno if I like how they're implemented though. And maybe it's just Sim's jab being ridiculously good.

Hopefully our connections don't lag. I don't have many problems in other games but for some reason, I get more rollbacky connections than not in V. It's kind of been killing my desire to play.

Necalli's V-trigger is core to making him a real threat in footsies. Since you don't have to charge when you cancel into specials from normals, it makes your counter poke game open up a lot with st.MP and st.HP.

Yeah, he seems like a perfect fit for Haitani in that regard. I've come to realize that SFV sim is actually very, very similar to VSav Lei-Lei. They're both hyper-aggressive, momentum-heavy rushdown characters with amazing mixup and long range normals, but both also have a hard time getting people off of them once they're locked down. They also both require you to constantly do TK srk motions throughout the entire match. I'm also bad with both of them. I might invest more time into FANG for this reason. Sim is fun, but the execution required to play him at a decent level is kind of crazy. At the same time, it gives him plenty of skill ceiling, which motivates me to get better. This is Momochi's channel: www.openrec.tv/movie/Ms-7qfjUMs4It's all in Japanese, of course. But there might be nuggets of knowledge to be gleaned here and there. |

Didn't know this thread existed... should see more threads instead of the OTT  Anyone have any idea on how to fight Bison? Everything he does seem to be a frame trap... |

Hey, just got the game.
CFN: the7kSRK
I haven't totally decided on a character yet, but I've put in the most time with FANG, Nash and Birdie. Messed around with Bison, Rashid and Dhalsim. I don't dislike any of the characters, but none of them have really struck me as "I gotta main this one" yet.

Looking into getting some games in with you guys, since randoms doesn't give me a lot of character variety to work with (as of current, I lack a lot of match-up knowledge due to fighting Ryu and Ken players constantly). I main Karin and my secondary is Alex.
And unfortunately, due to personal internet issues, I can only play online past midnight...
