I have literally never been more attracted to a fighting game character in my whole life

I thought I was the only one who absolutely hated that “motion”. It’s rare for me to say something like this but that shit should stay in Mortal Kombat. Hated it there and I hate it here. 

I talk shit on it but honestly shout out to SFV for all the new characters. Some of them were more popular than others but I appreciate them taking the chance on fresh faces a bunch of times and even for an entire season. 
 
Also from that list wouldn’t be surprised to see Kolin back. Maybe hanging out here skews my perspective but but she seemed pretty popular. 

Is it me or did the Netcode get even better on launch?? It's madness! If u think the open beta's Netcode was really good, Capcom somehow made the Netcode EVEN BETTER on launch.
I'd been playing since midnight and it's 515am now. My back hurts. Lol!! 

No idea who I will main but I do know the order im going to try characters in.
 
Marisa
Manon
Lily
Zangief
Juri
Cammy
 
Also holy fuck this day is dragging.

That’s probably 100% true lol.
 
I do think I like her default one more tbh, but I’m going to have to see them both with my own eyes
 

Random, somewhat emotional post, but it occurred to me that with SF6 launching tomorrow, I will never play SFV again.
 
And while I’m certainly okay with that, lol, SFV is one of the most impactful games in my life… 6 years ago I created an account on SRK to ask the SFV Lounge how good it was for single player content. Through that post, I got SFV, and through that thread, I eventually met all of you, learned about tournaments and the FGC, ran an Ethernet cable to my PS4 and finally got my ass online.
 
SFV is definitely not my favourite FG (by a long shot), but it’ll always be the most impactful one to me. I know I haven’t been around much lately, but just started feeling sentimental and wanted to shout you guys out a bit and say thanks.

Alright, had to take a break. Not used to the Xbox controller and my thumb hurts.
 
I was skeptical but I really like Manon. Whether she's main territory or not I don't know but I can see myself sticking with her at least as a secondary. I have absolutely no idea if I'd consider her good or not but that doesn't really matter at the moment anyway. One thing that surprised me is that her EX hit grab is invincible to everything but lows. Considering it charges her medal level on hit tat might be a good use of meter. The target combo with vacuum effect (f.HP -> HP) has a very generous cancel window, too, so even low-reaction people like me won't mess this up to often.
 
I tried out Cammy as well, she's not as dry as she was in V, matter of fact I think she's kind of the Karin of this game where you can have good results while doing basic stuff but there's a big skill-ceiling there if you start using Drive Rush mid-combo and taking optimal routes with her charged heavy specials. Also, everything you do makes her butt jiggle like crazy and if you can't see the butt chances are her breasts are jumping in to make up for that. Just in case you wanted to know.
 
The next two characters I'll try out after dinner are Lily and JP. 

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did my final ranked matches against a strong Falke player last night and managed my highest points average than I've had since 2019. Had a ft20 with a long time rival and won it to cap end my SFV experience. I went into training mode to say goodbye Kolin and then deleted the game. It's been an insane 7 years and SFV means allot to me. Funnily enough I didn't feel sad when deleting the game, just melancholy. Here's to you Kolin and to another 7 years of SF.

 

That’s probably 100% true lol.

Here’s some more info on the shop and battle pass system, as well as clubs and online ranking

fwiw, I don’t mind the battle pass system (not my favourite but whatever), but I hope you can trade drive tickets in for fighting coins. It would be super lame to me if you needed to spend real money to get the default costume colours 3-9 for the base roster 

That’s probably 100% true lol.

I guess we won't see you online day one. You'll be in World Tour unlocking her classic outfit 😉

Uh, got my copy today. Just finished Manon's trials, a bit trickier than SFV stuff but still miles easier than some of the SFIV combos.
 
One thing I haven't seen mentioned anywhere is that there's a rental fighter feature, which allows you to spend a specific item to try out a DLC character for one hour. You receive one of those items for logging in for the first time, no idea how easy/hard it is to obtain more. From what I understand you can use that character in every game mode except in Battle Hub Tournaments.
 
Anyway, that's the update from me, back to playing.

Happy SFV Death Day, folks 
 
Itazan, mago, momochi, I thibk eita are already playing in training mode 

I realistically won't be able to sit down and play this until next Wednesday.
