So, who here is thinking of maining Alex? I've been playing Cammy, but I'm gonna make the change for the urban lumberjack.
jump mk or lp and in some cases air grab
I know but sometimes I just want to hit them so they stop jumping like an idiot.

I think he'll be my next after Mika
I'm kind of feeling Chun but Alex is just so smooth
I see the patch didn't do anything to fix the connection filter and quality ratings. Got my first chance to play some games in two weeks and I get three good games, then three "5-bar" lagfests. Shit sucks, bro. 
At least the rematch function is neat. My few good games went the whole set and were loads of fun. I dream of the day when Capcom unfucks their matchmaking situation and makes BO3 the default.

airgrab has a lot of priority and can even be used very late into a jump in, you could try that.
Unfortunately vega's options are limited. At some ranges st. lp might work, but usually air grab or air-to-air is the only way.
Most of Vega's anti-air is just "pressure them so hard they can't move"

Vegas air medium kick is gdlk to meet air to air

Finally lucked out myself in that regard, heh. Two days off, with plenty of free hours for Alex!
Anyone know what time he's hitting?

Most likely after the maintenance I'm guessing.

1pm EST, 10am PST. Potentially earlier, depending on when Capcom decides to bring CFN back up from maintenance.

I'm considering putting some time into Alex. I'm a Necalli player who's been feeling Laura lately. I'm not too crazy on charge inputs, but I still wrestle with the thought of playing Dictator, so its not like charge inputs are completely off the table. I do intend on maining Urien at the end of the year though.

Yeah as far as Vega is concerned, I've had more success air to airing with j.mk than I've ever had anti airing with cr.HP, though that one does have it's uses.

So, just spent some time in the training room. Set the AI to just empty jump over towards me, and jump towards me with an attack. Trying to get my jab AA -> dash time committed to muscle memory, as well as get my Necalli DP to come out on reaction for a jump in. For people who have done similar training - is there any sort of hand exercises worth looking into to increase wrist/hand speed? I feel like that would be a tremendous help for me.
huh?
Apparently Lamerboi's Rashid combo doesn't work and Mika's toward strong lost thrown invincibility on some frames.

Honest question, does anyone else play while drinking? I feel like its the most fun for me.
All the time.
All the time.

Thanks dude!
People play without beer?
Gotta pace it out tho, once you get past buzzed you can't play worth a damn.

Wouldn't mind a drink when im just scrubbing it up with friends, but when im playing sets with people/training, not a chance.

Hmm it should work with most games? At least it does for me :/
Beer doesn't work if you're going for the Ryu body. Hard liquor all the way.

Take a shot every time you hear "hadoken".
Chug your beer everytime a CA connects.

Not all the time, but I do play MUCH better when I'm drunk.

Is there anyway to see how many matches you have played in total? Also game clock etc stats? Seems like a huge step backwards from SF4.

I think that shit is still broken
You trying to kill me breh

I'm going for the birdie body. He gives me more trouble, so that must be superior.

That's not a combo. It's a reset. Nash lands inside the tornado just as Rashid crosses under him and was caught blocking the wrong way.

Any tips on fighting Necalli in survival level 29? He's really aggressive. I've attempted with Bison, Rashid, and Cammy alt reaching that level, but failed.

Try doing the motion for dp as down-forward, down, down-forward, turn on input display to make sure a stray foward isn't sneaking in there.

Certainly looks more anime, so objectively better.
Man, that's good
Embrace it!
