I'm on PC. I've been playing the game kinda casually just to do get some challenges complete and unlock content. Still a hella fun game. Definitely my favourite game from last year. The demons are really fun to play in battlemode and when playing as the slayer I feel like I am playing a custom level or something. Really fun.

I guess I meant more so that urien doesn't actually have any way to directly counter pressure other than whiffing headbutts like a goon. Top tiers definitely have more options available than him. I wouldn't say every character experiences the same issues Urien does. He can't handle any knockdown from any range really, he has to hold it. (unless you go online sicko mode and whiff headbutts on wake up lol)

Urien hates being knocked down, command throws, multi hitting moves, small characters and especially makoto who has like all of those things LOL Still dope character design, so much fun

lol I love that clip. Rushdown chun li. I remember at Canada Cup a few years ago watching a high level urien player go up against a well established international chun player from Japan. I had watched him play against a bunch of Akuma players earlier and seeing the red parries going hard, meaning he had the capability of forcing some respect from the other player. Lost two separate rounds (at pixel health) being stuck in the corner after sa2, forced to parry but didn't have any actual way to safely turn the momentum. Wish I would have recorded them... oh well.

I respect the part where chun did legs 7 times in a row

Do you guys mostly do speedruns or have you delved into battlemode? I only really play the battlemode to complete the challenges but wouldn't mind playing it more at some point.

So many crazy interactions in those sets. High level 3s is something else. Saw some tweet that was like "these players assume their opponent is good, so they do questionable things" and that really got to me. Edit: found it

Internalizing was one of the worst things I did as a player and I've done it for waaaaay too long. I was running some mvc2 sets with a friend and unfortunately I didn't think to record replays, but I'm running the scenarios through my head. Trying to accept that I'm not playing the game wrong, I'm just not playing against the person right.

Having one of those days where I need to remind myself that there is another human being on the other end playing these games with me. Trying to adapt to my opponent but I keep getting overwhelmed. What are some tips fellas

I was talking with some og players about this topic and they all seemed to agree that sound queues were the best way to confirm in 3s. I think that translates well with to SFV tbh given the fact that each hit strength makes a different sound oH.

Hit confirming in SFV is similar to SF3. I'm looking for the screen to have a spasm and making a decision based on that lol In practice, probably the hit sparks and the audio queues. Some kinda mixture. Feel like for light confirms (which there is substantially more in V compared to 3s) looking at anything like meter or stun bar doesn't seem as helpful. Shake n bake.

Shunei's giant hands are a representation of how hard SNK is going to have us by the balls for the next 5 years while we wait for this game to come out.

Gimme the twitch link now, I gotta be ready for this

Dan will get a bunch of us to reinstall for a week lol

Ah yes. They play pretty wild. Definitely a test of patience from what I remember. Sometimes doing nothing (literally nothing) will be your saving grace for online SFV. They will downback for days and buffer in any moves/motions during blockstun to interrupt you. Makes you anxious to do anything. I haven't really played for serious on ranked since s1 but watching other players it seems like people just wanna party haha

What level of players are you getting matched against, if you don't mind me asking?

Fuck I'm so stupid and didn't even think to check the Street Fighter V thread for you guys. Happy New Year. Hope everyone is staying safe and holding tight. 🙂 I really took a break from the internet for a while and focused on irl things with work, life, etc. Moved on in life and have pretty big plans for the future. Still playing lots of FGs. Still enjoy Tekken 7 but decided to get really back into Mvc2, 3s, and just yucking it up in random games. Maybe I will see some of you on fightcade/nulldc sometime 🙂

Happy New Years everyone. Wishing for the best 🙂

Great list. Appreciate it. Friend also gave the same advice about Hack/Slash.

Started watching "Sweet Home" on Netflix the other night. I never read the webtoon but would always see screencaps on twitter. Pretty cool show. It got me to start reading the "Bastard" webtoon which I guess is suppose to be a prequel or something to Sweet Home. I haven't really read any manga, manhwa, etc in over a decade, wondering if there was any horror recommendations anyone on this thread could recommend?

If anyone wants to add me on steam for games, hmu https://steamcommunity.com/id/rep222 Play pretty much anything

I've been so busy with life lately that I haven't really been able to keep with everyone since leaving SRK. I picked up KOF2002UM from the steam sale and was hoping anyone could point me in the right direction for that game. Just trying to learn the basics of the game, haven't really ever been super serious about a kof game. Heard everyone was playing this version again since it had the rollback update.

I believe it is running NAOMI arcade hardware. Bear downloads the files within the actual program, so you don't need to fetch files or anything like that. Super convenient.

It is basically it's own separate client compared to what is available on fightcade. It is still delay based but it is extremely stable. Totally worth looking into. Really easy to setup. lol the combos don't mean anything once you see me play against the real tough dudes, i'm traaaaaash

Sweet! I'm free all day today if you want to play. I'm bad too, just love playing the game :)
