I sort of feel the same way. The game just seems so much more honest and their are less moves that allow for yolo game play. So I'm not getting hit by random crazy shit as often. Jumps seem more floaty which makes them easier to anti-air. Heavy attacks have this big pause(and no push back) letting you know that you blocked it in case you weren't sure if you did.
The first match I played in SF4 yesterday after two days of SFV was against this crazy Gouken player who has a lot of points(2700pp) because he goes for random shit all day and I guess it keeps working. And I lost to it to because he kept rolling the dice on me and guessed right even though guessing wrong would make his move very punishable. Part of me thought "I'd love to play this guy in SFV and see just how he is going to get wins without the moves to go nuts all day".
I don't love everything about SFV either. I honestly miss certain things about SF4 when playing it. The early talk is that SFV is not a deep enough game and that their isn't much tech out there to discover. Part of me feels the same way after playing it up to this point. In the end I think I can continue enjoying both games.
Youve faced some shitty Cammy's then.
Demon flip throw/sweep shenanigans too stronk.

I've actually played this guy quite a bit and he has never changed his play style. Here is a list of things he'll do
-Raw HP palms. He finally stopped when I punished it 3-4 times. But I guess he gets away with it a lot
-Neutral jumps on wake up and after he gets anti-air'd almost all the time until you hit him out of it too many times
-Mashes EX parry or tatsu during block strings(the mix ups oooh)
-Uses demon flip to attack a lot and will switch it up. Despite this not being a good idea, he will keep going for it.
As for how he won. I had a big life lead in the round but twice he went for demon flip parry twice to absorb my cr. HP because he had been using dive kick before. He did it up close where I'm not comfortable using DP because I'm focusing on the ground game. We were both near death and I had him knocked down. I forward jump over him to avoid EX tatsu and demon flip and figured I could punish if he neutral jump or parry'd. But the EX tatsu caught me when I had already jumped over to the other side.
In the past he would be around for rematches. But not this time, he was good with his win lol. I beat him most of the time but gimmicks will still always get me 1 out of every 3 or 4 matches. I'm always a bit flabbergasted when I run into these guys who win and win consistently even against decent players playing like this.
EDIT: I decided to play some USF4 and found him in Ranked again. I tried going into his room 3 times and every time I was waitng for like 15 seconds before it finally said I couldn't join? WTF is up with that? I'm legit salty because I wanted my run back. Oh well, at least we have some more SFV later today.

Adon's uppercut hits in the back for no reason sometimes, plz nerf
Cr. Hp, jump back fierce/jab, or just don't put yourself in that position in the first place.
Rice-Eater

Their isn't a good answer to this honestly. Your choices are
1) Avoid putting yourself in that position
2) Focus dash. Unfortunately Ryu's dash doesn't move him far so he could still get hit by something as short as a light attack despite dashing out already.
3) Raw forward dash. Trying to do this on reaction is hard though.
4) Auto correct DP. Unfortunately this is just hard to do for most people when they're concentrating on the ground game in that close range where a forward jump could cross up.
5) Air to air(probably best with j. jab). Again, kind of hard to do when you're concentrating on the ground game. But I've seen many players, both good and average, put this to great use.
I would not recommend using cr. HP against cross ups unless you're sure it will hit. It can stop cross ups, but only the ones that barely go over your head. Cross ups that clear your head will avoid Ryu's cr. HP and you'll eat a full jump in combo.

Honestly I doubt anyone knows shit about the game at this point. There's gonna be a bunch of other characters and this probably isn't what the final game will play like. People were wrong as fuck about SF4 before being able to sink time into it.
There's a lot I hope they do change about SF5 though. I want it as far away from playing like SF4 as possible. I've suffered with this game for long enough.
Yeah strangely enough I do appreciate some aspects of usf4 more now. I'm not sure that sfv will have as much of a spectacle aspect, I was watching this hasegawa vs poongko match, and I feel we won't see anything like that in sfv. Like you said there may be less depth(and I'm not even talking combos, I'm sure combo ability is lessened greatly). But that's from a cursory understanding of the game, gotta let the game fully develop and people breakdown the game before I can give an informed opinion.
Let me know if you wanna practice the gouken match sometime.

Yah 16 characters will feel like a struggle too. I was kind of getting bored of Nash already in the beta. People really like to shit on FADCs but I liked the mechanic.. SFV needs wall bounces too..

I like you. Could not agree more.
I like FADC for the most part, makes for great combo extensions. I hate the focus system in general though, especially compounded with invincible and obnoxious back dashes like Chun and rose.
16 characters is meh, hopefully the updates roll in quickly.
Edit: beaten

So basically, just play perfect, never get hit, guess right all the game, tech perfectly and just rely on enemy to be shit. I'll just go do that

He's kind of right I guess, basically mix up your stuff and play the opponent instead of just the character. You could add any variations of your own. Footsies I guess?glad I could help
My main problem is execution of anything, I'm just not that clean when I want to be fast and relatively new to taking FGs more seriously. Just got a RAP4 Kai so that's a step in the right direction, anyone got training tips for the execution side?
On a more lighthearted note, GAF's own Marvel had a meeting with karmic justice fairly recently;

If Cammy is a can opener, then DeeJay is a garbage disposal. If you're playing like garbage he'll consume you, but beyond that ez street.

Strange thing happened yesterday, and excuse the thread necromancy, but, I grabbed a nearly free copy of Super SSF4AE from a bargain bin yesterday, came home, redeemed the key on Steam which showed up as SSF4AE for GFWL Redeem Code, and then the game entered my library as Ultra Street Fighter 4.. Is this normal? I was pleasantly surprised!

Yes, this is capcom's gimmick, you still have AE and Ultra content is available as DLC.

Ibuki vs Yun is the most fun match in the game:

Hiiii guys, I made a thing.
Not super serious (obviously), but legitimately curious about an actual reaction from a bit of the fgc.

This is how I play when I start a match with EX bars already. Infinite ones.

How do I claim the free Halloween costumes?
They are only free in Japan for those who got into the lastest beta test there. It was a closed test and wasn't open to everyone there. You had to apply to get in. Everyone just assumed they would be free everywhere else, but they were never announced as free for any other region.

Anyone still play this game?

I've started playing again. I basically took a month and a half break from this game. Partially because I got burned out again and partially because the NFL season began. It's been long enough, I'm hungry to play again. We don't have much time left with this game until SFV comes out. Crazy to think that we're less than 5 months away from that reality now.

Incase you guys do not see it, USFIV PS4 complete horror costume pack mispriced and only 20p on UK PS store, at least one other guy said is a price error in another SCEE region, so if you part of SCEE, try your luck.

Who says they didn't try? Eventhubs made the correction at least.
I'd love them for free, but Capcom never implied they would be free for everyone, nor does that make a lot of sense considering the test for many larger regions was open to anyone. It was not noted as a freebie offer on the Capcom US blog either.
The Japanese site specifically stated they would be for the limited player number closed beta test 2 there, and for sale otherwise. People either made a bad assumption or ran with a poor translation. This one is not on Capcom. Blame those who did a bad job of reporting and those spreading incorrect info.
edit: apparently it was only the brawler pack as well. So even more of a bad mistranslation.
