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.

They would've still released it with 16 characters in June. That's the whole point of going back to basics.

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.

Yeah I was stuck at 1200 LP range for a few days, went to a couple local meetups and a local tournament this week which in turn made me learn a lot while also strengthening my general game and muscle memory.

It's funny you say that you hit 1850 LP while on a win streak and then all of a sudden you started losing. I got to 1800 LP tonight and thought I should quit and then I started losing and dropped back down to 1500-1600 LP. But I decided to keep playing and play my aggressive R. Mika playstyle and it ended up paying off in the end. When I reached 2000 LP I was like okay, I'm done for the night. Keep trying and improving your game and you will surely get there.

The characters giving me trouble online are definitely Karin, Laura and Zangief.

Of course, they want to sell season passes and indiv dlc. Honestly the first season characters are probably finished already, they just didn't put them on disc this time.

The servers are supposed to go down today aren't they? How many hours till they go down?
Click to expand...

I thought it was cute that they felt the need to tell people the servers would be down.

Anyway four matches in an hour, which isn't good enough. I really hope this maintenance fixes things, because otherwise I'll be just about done with it.

I can't wait until we get 8 player battle lounges, it'll be much easier to get gaf battles going.

So did all our scrubs already quit the game and stopped or what? It seems every post now is "made it into gold" "made it into super silver" etc, and im stuck in bronze as usual. Everytime I go to super bronze, I get a rude awakening and get imediatly bodied back to bronze (granted tonight was the first time I actually had some matches besides that other night with Gief)

Seems like everyone all if a sudden got super good really fast and im sitting here thinking "welp, im still shit" lol

I would bet I'm more shit than you. But yeah, I'm still practicing hard. Today is all about completing story mode though.

Four matches in an hour? I just got four ranked matches and three casual matches in thirty minutes. Barely had any time to do anything in training mode in between fights. I do live in Tokyo, so perhaps it's just due to different player base sizes in our respective areas.

Managed to get my three ranked wins in a row trophy yesterday (which is a big deal for me, believe me). I was so happy to have the badge of shame lifted, I commented "never gonna happen again" in the trophy notification. Although funnily enough, It actually happened again tonight, plus I won all my casual matches tonight. Not bad for thirty minutes. I actually have over 300 lp now, which believe it or not, I'm happy with.

I don't have a main yet, I thought I'd try Chun but after getting nowhere with her I'll try someone else!

Pretty sure the connection filter for 4-5 or 5 means absolutely nothing.

4-5 still gets you insane rollbacks..
Click to expand...
Set it to accepting manually. It'll give you 1 bar connections no matter the filter you set. That lets you circumvent them.

Fuuuuucckkkk quitters! What a bunch of losers...
Click to expand...

Yup. I can't understand why people do that. I mean, who gives a shit if you're going to lose a game? I've only won ten ranked matches out of ~70, but that doesn't stop me from having fun.

I had someone rage quit in a casual match yesterday... Or at least, I think they did, but I can't confirm it. It could have been some connection issue, but the dude was ranked 82, XXX and I was ranked 124, XXX and I absolutely destroyed him. Won the first round and had him in the corner in the second round with a health bar that would have just been chip damage in SF4 and he went into full on turtle mode for a few seconds before the connection dropped.

Could just be a coincidence, but I can't help but feel suspicious.

The lack of any penalty is a reason for the numbers of quitters, no doubt.

But the real thing is the era of social media and sharing. Many people are overly sensitive about being seen in any negative way, and having a video of them getting destroyed on Youtube is not something they can handle.

The trophy for getting into certain ranks doesn't help either. It's the only way to do it for many.

This is a good day. Got two fights before I had to go to university and won both. Once people start to stop jumping and spamming special moves I will get blown up so badly though. Also what is a good Crush Counter combo for Ryu? Everything I've tried won't connect.

Moonsault can be used as an awesome mix up tool on a hard knockdown. Do the M or L one depending and your spacing and you will either land directly in front or behind them very quickly. I rarely use it on raw offense anymore but it's great for this.

Birdie may end up being the character I play when I get frustrated. Win or lose, he's just fun to play and incredibly goofy. Trying to figure out how to effectively play him though, I spend a good chunk of time getting my attacks stuffed, with the rare occasion when I'm consistently getting good reads and grabs.
