What were their names? I know all the monsters on PS4, so I can give 'em a good scolding...

I don’t remember tbh, but I bet these guys aren’t even well-known monsters. Just some random dudes that play this a lot and know what they’re doing

I had to put two cats in cages for grooming appointments. Had to chase one out from under the bed with a vacuum and then dive on my hardwood floor for her like I was diving for a fumble... I’m too old for this shit 🤣

Any time I need to get my cats into carriers I treat it like I'm in the CIA and I'm disappearing someone. I set everything up the day before in another room that has no escape vectors, then I snatch them in their sleep and lock 'em up before they realize what is going on. Even then it still feels touch and go sometimes.

 

Hard contrast that with my dog experience: "Ivan, wanna go for a ride?" *dog happily jumps into the car*

Well that's just everything in SFV. Seen Gill's hair? Poison's top? Ken's hair? Game is actually really good looking in many areas, and oddly lacking in others.

[GetTheTables]

I love Poison and I like her design in this game a good bit. 

 

But the way her default hair is implemented is the worst thing Japan has done to the world since early WW2.

Same. I hated Akuma’s new look for a long time until I saw it in art outside the game and saw that it wasn’t a terrible idea. In fact I’d say he actually looks better with a beard, and now it’s how I picture him mentally.

 

8/10 idea with 2/10 execution. But really hair in general is the biggest downfall of SFV’s models.

You must really be sick of SFV if you're playing DDV. As a big fan of the series, that game felt like a personal insult. The last image isn't showing for me, which game is it?

 

Never mind, the link says EC. The animations were god-awful, but I kind of liked the rest of the game.

In retrospect, it really was terrible. I think what I liked most about it was the fact that it had a Story Mode and pseudo fatalities (I believe they were called Overkills) in it. I was pretty bad at the Double Dragon games, so I didn't have a fond memory of the series as a whole back then. But yeah, just about every Double Dragon fan I know would rather pretend that game never existed. I became a much more avid fan of the Double Dragon in the later yrs. Double Dragon 3 was still piss hard for no apparent reason tho. I salute any normal human that was able to complete that game.

 

I just came across a tweet from a Capcom artist from the 90's that talked about Capcom being approached by DC to make a fighting game:

 

 

Funny how I literally was just playing the Justice League fighting game. Now I'm just imagining how the DC characters would've been designed in a Capcom fighting game. 

[Mattatsu]

I haven’t but I’m curious if it’ll run SFV better. Seeing how the game lags on a base PS4 in training mode and apparently runs much better on a good PC, I’m curious if there are similar advantages for the PS5... cutting down the initial loading time from 15 minutes would be nice too lol.

 

I decided I’ll probably get a PS5 eventually. I was hoping to get a good gaming PC instead, but I can’t justify spending 3-4x as much on one.

So somebody asked, "Can Ken combo low forward > fireball after a j.HP?" I responded with, "Why don't you check yourself?" and got ragged on for not giving an answer. The original questioner responded with, "Because I'm bad at execution."

 

I wanted to bring up the fact that you don't need execution to check the frame data to know what combos, but I was worried more children would probably wet their diapers on how, "Frame data isn't good for beginners to know!" Sounds like bitch-made propaganda to me lol.

 

What do you guys think? It sounds incredibly childish to expect answers from something that's so easily Googled or manually checked.

[KingTubb]

Then... Why is this person asking? If you can't do it, then why do you need to know if it combos? Seems like a good reason to practice your execution to see if it works. 

 

I'm usually pro "use the internet, doofus" but if it was a discord or people were just chatting, it could just be a reason to talk for this person.

If you're not going to answer, then you can at least not be a dick about it. There's a ton of reasons for people asking that, one of the more common ones being that they just can't boot the game and check themselves. There's nothing wrong with that question. Besides, of course, that wackass combo.

Frame data doesn't cover stuff like pushback and all that jazz.

Fun fact -- loading screen before a match in SFV is fake.  The screen that shows the two characters about to fight is actually hard-coded to display for a certain amount of time, and will display even if the game has already loaded the assets for the match.

 

If you apply a loading screen mod and run the game on a SSD it will load the match as soon as possible instead of waiting:

 

PS5 will 1000% load all games faster since PS4 uses a slow HDD and doesn't take advantage of proper SSD speeds even if you put one in.  The difference will be night and day -- but in the case of SFV it won't shave off loading in between matches. 🙃

You were kinda being a dick lol. Answering a question with "figure it out yourself" is always seen as rude. But, to be fair, the question asker is being annoying because this is something they can very easily figure out themselves. And if they can't boot up the game, like Volt said, then why do they need to know NOW. I really think they just wanted to say something, but didn't have anything worth while to say, so they just shouted word vomit into the void.

 

My mother-in-law does this shit all the time.

Because you gave a rough, unhelpful answer for no practical reason.

 

If you just looked at that question and didn't say a word, you'd have the same result.

Because you never know what's happening at the other side of the screen. In this case, the dude was just messing up that combo and wanted to make sure it's possible to begin with.

Because some times you just come up with some stuff and want to find out whether or not it works.

 

It happens to me a lot in college because some classes are mind-numbingly boring. 🤣

 

Hell, it happened last week with Vhoz trying to break 600 dmg and me waiting on the doctor's office trying to figure out what could work for that with Ryu. 🤷‍♂️

Disable what?

 

If you want to disable the hard-coded loading screen times you just gotta install the loading screen mod on PC.  I haven't kept up so I don't know what the current version is or if it's been updated to work with the current version of the game.

You gotta sit on your thumbs for x-seconds anyway, might as well get some spare change out of it. 🤷‍♂️

So, I have a terrible habit of asking people instead of checking myself. I try my best to stop it, but that’s only been in the last few years once i realized i was doing it. i do realize how annoying it is though (hence why i try not to so it anymore), but i do have times where i have tech questions like this and am at work or something and cant boot up the system to check.

 

Whenever i have questions like this, i usually send myself an email or a note so i don't forget, but typing the question on a forum is essentially the same amount of work, but it may lead to an answer, and also, other people may learn from the answer as well.

 

also, not being able to perform the combo itself is funny, but if you don’t have good execution, you may not be able to get something to combo that is actually possible. It would be frustrating for someone to spend 10 minutes labbing a combo, just to find out it doesn’t even work. And also, if they know it can combo, then there’s nothing to stop them from practicing it until they can execute it.

[KingTubb]

Speaking on being a dick...

I've always felt like that's part of the learn curve🤷‍♀️ 6-8 months ago, I'd do this all the time, and now I can identify that something will, or won't combo pretty quickly.

Oh, for sure, you definitely get better at it. But if your execution is trash and you cant make anything combo, you’re frustrated as it is. I understand why buddy would want to ask to see if he was wasting his time or not.

 

i posted on some MK twitter thread the other day that was comparing other games, and someone commented that he really thought SFV was cool, but it pissed him off he couldn't figure out the timings for the combos and dropped it. As simple as this stuff seems to us now, it can be hard and frustrating to those playing a game like this for the first time.

Honestly, I'm against having Kazuya as a guest character in any game. Sega should pull their heads out of their asses and just make a Yakuza fighting game.

You over estimate me. Also, for all you perverts out there, search "you over estimate me" in the gif thingy. There wasn't even a ball to pick up and run with on that one, but some of them gifs are of some real "heavy petting"

 

But no matter the game, unless you're a savant or have been playing multiple games for a long ass time, figuring out the combo timing for a new game is going to be a while. For a dipshit like me, it could be several hours, and for a new player we could be talking dozens of hours. The road to "fighting game literacy" can really suck and is a huge reason this community is so small

Weak, Yakuza creator. W E A K. 

 

If Mario can pummel his girlfriend of 25+ years in the face, send her careening into the Infinite void of space during a friendly game of go karts or light her on fire, surely Kiryu can fight a perfectly capable female combatant.

I mean, Mario straight up stomps out girl koopas given the chance so he has that over Kiryu ‘I respect woman’ Kazama.

Well I guess Mario also routinely sacrifices Yoshi's life just to get a couple more feet of air time during a jump so I'm sure at this point that naggo is a straight up sociopath.

In fairness the context is different. If you found yourself in the octagon against one of the top female fighters in the UFC (dunno who they are, Darc can spot me names) you goddamn better well put up yer dukes. Likewise if Cammy rolls up on you, maybe best to lead with knuckles otherwise you may end up like that dude in the SF2 animated movie.

 

Unless there is some Udon comic where Ryu just SRKs some random chick on the street. That wouldn't be cool at all. Awkwardly hilarious but not cool.

 

And if that doesn't exist maybe it should.

 

Also @KingTubbI think I know exactly the animated .gif you're talking about. I think some of them were tagged....liberally because I sure wasn't searching for what that thing was depicting.

Lol SF girls are  definitely ready to throw down. Everyone is always looking at Cammy’s ass floss but if you look at her arms and legs that girl is chiseled. Also those gauntlets she wears have those raised circular portions near that hand that would basically act like brass knuckles.

I was going back and forth in my head about getting a PC or PS5.  Right now I want a PC, but it would just be to play SFV.  Yeah can't justify that lol.  

 

I'm going to be getting a PS5 either way so I'll just wait a bit until a must buy game comes out and pick it up then.  Maybe for Strive in the spring.   I'm assuming it'll run fighting games much better than the PS4.   I mean it has to with those specs.

I mean it can't play them that much worse than now right? Even with a Pro the PS4 is a still a struggle bus sometimes. Less so with FGs but you do still feel load times and performance here and there.

 

I've been lucky enough to stash PS5 money and I'm enough of a weeb that I know I'll want exclusives eventually (same thing got me to buy a PS4) so I'm sure I'll grab one. I'm not doing this mad scramble bullshit that happened with preorders and may happen on release day but once they are a little more readily available I'll end up with an obelisk in my living room.
