Street Fighter V |OTVIIII| New Generation - Fighting Game Is Something So Great
- Thread starter Reizo Ryuu
- Start date
I think it's growing on me. Maybe I just am learning to accept it for what it is at this point?
Can't Reizo do it
The faces are a lost cause, but I think in motion it looks cleaner than UMvC3 right now.

Have you forwarded your ports?
I'd like Sagat to look like his SNK Vs. Capcom iteration in SFV. As shown in the GIF, this Sagat isn't thin but he's way more angular than his Alpha counterpart. Sagat in SF4/Alpha was so buff he looked lumpy and his silhouette wasn't interesting because of that. Sagat in SvC sells his height and length of his limbs.
I understand Sagat looks the way he does because Adon is in the Alpha series as the more "traditional" Muay Thai fighter but I'd like more Adon in Sagat's SFV incarnation to make him stand out from the rest of the cast.
Oh shit, the SNK sprite is actually much better. First time seeing it as I never played SVC Chaos.
Now Im reminded of that thread about chris G and the one poster who thought Chris couldnt get it up without DP.
Its not unreasonable. You can't play in an MvC game without partners
Weekly Reddit SFV tournament is a 3v3 format this week.

Once you hit plat you're in like the 1% of the ranking leagues. The pool of players is a lot smaller so they open up the gates and any one is fair game.

Wow, I never noticed how much better and more proportionate the SNK Sagat is. His stance is cooler too.

I actually like beefier Sagat, and he sounded so much more intimidating in the alpha series.

Looks like we caught him in the middle of transforming into Adon.

I have not beaten an Abigail a single time. :/
Like I just can't figure him out at all. Every time it's just that grab, stomp, kick punish. On top of that I don't even like his character design to begin with so bleh :/
I just suck.

Once you recognize what's punishable and what's not, you'll do much better.
The only safe move he has is his jumping, flipping hammer punch...and you can learn to anti-air it before it ever touches you.
Everything else is very punishable on block, and most of his normals are slower than yours.

I'm pretty sure that if somebody actually attempted the math they'd find that swole Sagat with his height and weight would actually float in air.

So that's where the nerds draw the line?
Body weight?

I'm making fun of how stupid Big Sagat is.
FANG is denser than Sagat yet he can literally fly.

I don't know how I forgot, but Sagat is 7'5". Capcom needs to slap a hundred extra pounds on my dude. He and Alex are literally the exact same weight, but Sagat is an entire foot taller.
like...wat?

Sounds like an argument to make Sagat appear slimmer rather than change a number that no one will ever see.

All these giants... Who's the tallest woman in Street Fighter? Laura and Poison at 5'9"?
I hope Menat is 6'+

We already know she's kinda short looking. Maybe Cammy size.
Hopefully we eventually get an Amazon woman. Like Elena height (6ft) but muscular.
If we get a post-SFIII game, one of Hakan's daughters should become an oil wrestler.

This is SF. The only changes we get are Cammy buffs and buckets of steroids.
Capcom should take a hint from Lab Zero there. More 5'10" and up redheads, egyptians and psycho nurses pls. Scythana would make Abigail shit his pants. I'm pretty sure Qadira and the Amazon from Indivisible are also supposed to be hueg (yeah, big enough to misspell the word).

Instead of adding oil, you add another kid which increases your length and making anti airing easier. But every time you get hit, you lose a kid.
The other day I decided to jump back into Ranked mode to see if I could move up to Super Silver league and I've so far had two matches that lagged in that same exact way at critical moments. The first time I had to watch my life lead evaporate and die to a Mika spamming jump-in kicks in fast forward. The second time I won only because I was spamming light kick while frozen and the other guy walked into it.
So yeah, the past two days I've been trying my hand at Ranked again after a few months of grinding casuals as Silver. My goal is to rank up to Super Silver, but man the ranked system is frustrating. I get 2-3 wins under my belt and get within a stone's throw of Super, then lose two matches and it erases most of my gains. I know I'll rank up eventually; I've finished each night about 100lp higher than when I started, but the continual yo-yo'ing does annoy me.
Also, I was thinking in-between Ranked matches how this game doesn't really give much incentive to accept a rematch. If you're playing someone the same LP as you and win the first match, you gain +65LP. Then you have the option to rematch, and there are four possible outcomes:
1. You go 2-0 and gain ~130LP.
2. You go 1-1 and net ~0LP.
3. You go 2-1 and gain ~65LP overall.
4. You go 1-2 and lose ~65LP overal.
3 out of those 4 outcomes has you either losing or maintaining the same number of points you received from the first match. The way the current system is set up now, the most efficient way to play if you care about points is to accept one match and move on win or lose. The LP system could use something like an LP bonus (like a 1.5x multipler) if a player wins a set 2-0 or 2-1, so you have a 50/50 outcome that provides more LP than just winning the first match.
