Just took on a really easy Karin, as much as I want to win matches if feels bad when I beat a player who seems to be totally new
And I do hold back to give them a chance too

I don't have problems quitting when a match is laggy. They are going to have to take that into account with whatever they decide to implement for quitting.

I've only run into a handful of ragequitters. Maybe less common in higher leagues?
Kinda wonder how much pro players will end up playing much ranked since all of your matches are recorded and shared in ranked.

If the leaderboards are accurate there are only 252 players who are gold or above ww, only 4 ultra golds too
Yeah, because we all want Capcom to not take their time on a proper solution and instead hurry up because everyone decides to act stupid and impatient...
Just play casual matches in the meantime.

The early word of mouth and user score bombing will probably scare off most people. Which is a real shame because this is my favorite SF game D:

Well, I have Necalli and Mika (to an extent) down to a decent level. Now I need to decide if I want to work on Karin or Rashid next.

Ok time for my nightly "is SF5 online still broken for me" play session. Will give it 1 hour to beat last night's record of 1 match.

Is there anyway to delete your fighter profile to change flags?
Gameplay is great. Juicy old SF fun. Very satisfying and similar to SF IV.
Waiting for opponent and load times (PS4) are a bit long compared to the time it takes to finish a match.
My quiet dream is to have Capcom add the smashing levels where you can destroy a car or plane or whatever like in the old SF II, now that would be awesome and a nice way to kill time in between fights.

i'm starting to think i'm either extremely unlucky or 90% of players are faster than me in both wake up situations
Do you know about quick rise and meaties?
Have you got a 5 or 4-5 connection only setting on? That always seems to speed things up for me.

I'm starting to hate using Rashid. He just doesn't have many options against some chars.
That's something else. Uppercut-like moves like that are invincible and will beat your moves, you have to block and then punish them.
But quick rise is after you get knocked down:

Andm meaties are attacks that beat opponents moves on wake-up:

A multiplatform game on consoles outsold a single console game this generation
*shock* (Not really)
I'm honestly not convinced that the filter settings even do anything.

In 30 minutes, got 2 matches, now can't log into server.
So things are getting better I suppose.

It looks like it sold less than either PS3/360 alone.

how are people pulling off moves on wake up yet when I try that they get some kind of kick or jab on me all the time?

Im down 500lp today if it makes you feel any better.
All a part of the game, I suppose... still feels bad lol. Still losing!

SFV to be a niche fighter lets go full anime.
Face petting mini-games here we come!
I'm OK with this as long as I can slap FANG.
Don't walk up on or stand right next to people when they're knocked down, unless you have a plan.
You could just walk up and block to bait out attacks and then counter (that's a free Crush Counter if we're talking wake up uppercuts).
Or you could go for a grab if they're not expecting it.
Or you could give a little distance and go for a cross-up right as they stand up.
Those options are all assuming you want to keep up the pressure; you could also just back off and return to neutral. Whatever option you pick, the most important thing is that you shouldn't be too predictable. Mixup your approach, and practice your timing. There's wake-up recording in Training mode, maybe try messing with that.

Lucky you
I've been trying to break into the 2K LP range for three days, but a squadron of Rashid, Nash and Ken players keeps getting in my way. It happens right after I get 5-8 win streaks or if I finally hit 1850LP like an automatic switch. It definitely sucks when you can't hit a goal.

Not too surprising if SF5 sells less than 4. They've gone out of their way to make sure that happens imo.
Don't get me wrong, I think the game is fantastic. But if you want casual appeal, you don't release a 60 dollar fighting game with 16 fighters, and a promotional campaign the focuses solely on the competitive scene.
You want a SF5 with good sales? You don't release the game until june when the story mode is ready, the trials are ready, the store is ready, and you have 20 characters. And then you have the trailers for the game focus on footage from the story mode instead of tournament footage.

Hah, exactly my story except it's 1950.
Broke silver twice and ranked down next game both times.
Dat silver struggle.
