My love/hate relationship with her is complicated man.

I am.
Switch back to stick
I'm too far gone at this point! I tried stick again and I my execution was already weird in terms of timing.
I've tended to really hit the suite of combos I do hit. I just need to play more Vs. CPU matches maybe.

Whats the count you work up to? And honestly, I am just having a lot of problem in my neutral game with Urien right now. I dunno, its just one of those days where nothing i'm doing works.
They're up for me.

anyone up for a lounge?
You think we will we get the beta a little early?
Random but...how in the world is Injustice popular? Playing now for shits and giggles on pc and, it's terrible. The way characters to need to pick up momentum to get up to their normal walk speed is horrid. And the recovery to all the moves. How do people play this. It feels like a 3 bar SF4 match.
I'm not skilletor but usually when I'm practicing a combo I aim for 5 successful attempts in a row each side, unless it's something really difficult then I'm ok with hitting it ~70% of the time in training mode
Would be a billion times more interesting than watching any SF5 top 8.

Yeah nah. The Top 8 at Texas was way more entertaining than HEALING HEALING HEALING.
Yeah probably because it was right after maintenance.
After playing this game for the past week exclusively on off days, before I go to work, and when I get off work, I just... I am just at a blank on how to actually play this one.
If there is a rhythm in this game's neutral and approach in the meta, I am not really comprehending it all that well. Most of my matches so far are complete bops or fighting folks who I am not convinced know that there is a block button with little in-between. The stubby normals are driving me insane (hell, had an opponent Vega where I swear he whiffed close range with that claw somehow).
I try Ryu because 99% of the time instinctively walk back because I always want my opponent to come to me, but way too many characters have ways to blow up the fireball game. I try Cammy, but my confirms are not on K-Brad level and I get blown up for missed or block spiral arrows. Beyond that, I just don't really like this cast all that much from an aesthetic and gamestyle perspective (well, Juri will always be bae from aesthetics, but holy fuck what was Combofiend even thinking in comparison to her SF4 self).
I keep playing it, so something is drawing me in. But it feels like I am putting in so much effort not so much to learn how to play, but to find the fun in the game.

This is what left behinders actually believe.
Sounds like something an Elena player would say.

Beta already available for download (not yet active) on PS4 and it requires PS+. I was planning on renewing later this month but I guess I'll have to jump in this week if I want to play the Beta.

I mean, she was dumb as hell for sure, but she wasnt even the best character in the game. It's not like 3S chun where that scenario is actually believable.
I guess this is the link for the Steam beta. Looks like it's available for download at 3pm PDT, according to the SF Twitter.

What's your movement like? Do you know the range of your normals? If you are getting bopped in the neutral, it's time to get a better sense of your spacing and where you are at, let them whiff, and go in for the kill. You don't have to be right up in their ass, and you can judge the distance and not back off too much. It just takes time to get down. It's something I'm really bad at but a lot better than what I was before.
Also, you might want to look up general character matchups to see what you should do. I don't think Vega has a good AA. or at least one that's great like Rogs (I honestly don't remember), so you can jump in and go crazy town on them.
Ahh, there's a link explaining all this and it's kinda old but still relevant. I'll see if I can find it. It's been helping me a ton.
It's ok. Enough time has passed since USF4 to let go of all grievances and let the healing begin.

I thought the beta was PC only.
My movement varies from game to game, but for the most part I find myself being super defensive. I at times do decently with medium pokes, but a lot of times I get too overzelous and end up getting into shimmy setups.
I'm calling it for the day because I have been at this for 3 and a half hours and I feel even more mentally exhausted than when I got off work. I mostly have been reading up on the Gief's Gym guide on Reddit.
Nope, it's been known that it was coming for both platforms for a while now.
For playing defensive and walking backwards, Guile's your boy. Almost everyone else in this game has to RTSD.

Awesome. I just got a Brooks converter for my SFIV fight stick so I'll be trying it on PS4 then.
SFV is a game meant for offensive nuts for the most part. So if you're a defensive player it'll take a while to get used to.
Wanna play a few games? Im generally pretty defensive as well.

Yeah you basically need to be rushing people down, or at least having the mindset of advancement. If you find yourself overextending, make a note of it on a piece of paper, and figure out why each time. Little by little you'll start filling up those gaps in your playstyle.
And if you want, post your matches here. I'm sure people would love to help out.
But above all, take a breather. It's journey. Don't rush, and just have fun. When you feel yourself stressing, just walk away from the game. SFV is fucking stressful to play, so you gotta find the fun in every match or you'll go insane.
Someone told me the piece of advise in this thread when i was struggling with SFV around this time last year "respect your opponent turn" forgot who said it to me, but i can tell once i started doing this and stopped mashing buttons on wake up i improved a lot.
Thanks for the advice folks.
I think I just went a little tilt after today's session and needed a break. Onemic, I'll definitely be down for some rounds tomorrow evening if I get off early enough, or definitely in the weekend.
I've never been to big on charge characters, but yeah, every time I fight a Guile I'm thinking "... yeah, that's something I need. I feel like I play better at range or when I can slow/control things at my pace." I feel like the charge motions are a little bit strict in this one for some reason, but that's something I need to just lab out since so many other characters have some charge motions.
I just hope to God they introduce a ranged character this Season.

You can get the charge really quick in this game, but the window to get the charge move out is actually the smallest it's been in any SF game, I think. So yeah, the timing is super strict. That said, it's thankfully getting patched in the next month or so in order to make it a little more forgiving.

In what world does "not doing anything" mean you shouldn't get hit?
"OMG I WASN"T DOING ANYTHING AND I GOT COMBOED!!??" Exactly. You weren't doing anything, so you got comboed. Makes perfect sense to me.
Also on another note, Zombe you're my boy and I know I'm not the best player in the world, but you're right, that Bison was ass lol.

Conceptually I really love Kolin and think she's really fun to play. In practice, I just go on an infinite losing streak with her and can't deal with her slow movement, weird buttons, slow attacks, difficulty getting in, and it always feels like way too much work to finish off a round. Then I go back to Karin and have such an easier time just giving everyone the Ojou-sama toe.
But man when you get a couple counter reads in a row it's so satisfying and makes it all worth it.

Yeah I gave her a shot in training for a couple of days with intentions of seeing where we could take our relationship and ultimately found myself losing her number.
Even as a kolin player I often think that I would be better off playing Karin, so no surprise there. I stick with her bc not everyone and their mom uses her like Karin though.
Also her AAs are better and using v-skill to anti-air half-screen jumps is always fun

no shit dawg...
i still can't believe he got top 4 at evo or w/e with his shitty attitude

re: Kolin- I actually love her and think she's my strongest character? I was playing Juri before Kolin though so maybe that's just the feeling of moving from rock bottom to slightly above bottom.

I think this was back in Beta 3 and since then, My Bison is just as bad.
