I guess it's no big loss, all the important stuff didn't get wiped. My fault playing while knowing they were gonna turn off the power at some point today.

What is that Rolento post referring to? As much as I'd love to have him in SFV, I can't see it due to Falke being the staff/baton character.

Yes, the game is broken because it contains an esoteric situation where the solution is to keep your inputs clean and not press more buttons than are necessary.

Releasing one button a frame early while performing a wake-up EX move is an esoteric situation? What?
Well yeah, the underlying mechanics of why a single negative edge input can foul up your wake-up EX is, in fact, obscure and specialized knowledge. It's an oddity in the way the game processes inputs and should be fixed, but it's also mildly annoying at worst and can be easily mitigated once you know what's happening (avoid superfluous button presses, hold the buttons down, map a button to 3P/3K etc.). Hardly game-breaking.

I'm using Ryu again at the moment, damn I suck with the shoto style. I feel a lot of my wins with Bison are dishonest and dirty lol

Games have bugs, but season 3 is a fucking mess so many bugs showing up, they need to fix these shit...

The monthly usage stats for May finally dropped and my boy Alex has moved out of his double double trailer and into a single digit fumigated basement apartment (#8 this month). Looks like Alex finally made it into top 8 for something in SFV lmao. If he were a high tier tournament character he'd probably stick in the top five along with the shotos, Cammy and Guile permanently. I'll take these season 3.5 scraps with a smile, though. This is a far better situation than we had in season 2.

Bison is THE online character of SFV. His popping V-Trigger is the closest thing SFV has got to dark phoenix. I'm just glad that I have parries to fall back on.

I've been getting kind of burnt out on SFV and I'm starting to get into the pre-E3 hype, so I started playing a bit of Smash on Wii U again... holy shit. If we want to talk about a game with terrible balance, nonsense mechanics, shit netcode, and a toxic playerbase, that's your game.

It's a bit unfair to compare Smash and SFV since SFV is a fighting game.

Are there any tricks for beating the Shadaloo soldier with Falke? I'm talking Rashid-level cheapness. I really don't want to waste FM on a loss.

The timing on a HPDP after a successful trigger 2 parry is weird for me. Really annoying.

I often get a FB or nothing lol

That shadaloo soldier is a real fucker. 3 tries, 1 win. Barely beat him with Rashid who is already leveled up for obvious reasons. 500 FM down the drain.

I don't think I have anybody to level up anymore. It'd just be a waste of time and FM.

This Shadaloo soldier is particularly easy to cheese with Chun, or any other character with a decent multi-hit move that'll break armor. You can seriously just spam legs at them for the most part and their mega chip damage will do the rest

Shit, didn't know this week was an EXP reward and not just FM.

I only won the third attempt and thus only got a net 500 FM loss.

At least it only ate into the weekly FM.

This time I beat all 3 tries with Akuma, Menat and Falke. With Falke just jump in with HP + stHP, when the armor break, forward HP. If you see him charging and you are on the floor, go for a throw. Do not try to hit him AFTER him execute the charged move, because of its weird hitbox.

It was really easy with Falke.

Eh wasn't so lucky myself. Though I was more hesitant and I was close to managing my 3rd attempt, the match times over right before the last hit of the CA lands.

I've grown too use to the Rashid strategy and to an extent baiting the AI using Guile's V-Skill. Thankfully the next Shadaloo soldier is a gold one and earns a lot of FM, but that's not until 2 weeks. Hopefully I make up for that; currently have over 45K FM.

Thank you for the tip, played it once with Falke with basically just jHP and some sweeps and throws. 12K FM for winning after the XP bump.

Any pics of the Bison crossover costume colors out there or will we see them until it's fully earnable?

What's the fastest way to earn FM now? I'm making a new CFN to learn Menat and she's locked along with everything else I've bought on my main account (PS4)

It bums me out that there was not 1, but 2 balance patches in the past 4.5 months and Guile escaped both of them in tact.

I blame Daigo.

That FK "Nerf" has enough push back that his Boom will end up in front of your opponent on wake up after a FK. You can make his Upside Down Kick plus on block if you chase after the Boom.

Between trying out and ditching Falke and now trying to learn Laura, my LP has tanked. SMH at scumbags that end rounds using their supers when any hit would've done the job. Ess my aytch I say. I've been out of practice for ages though, I can't jump in on anyone. No matter my angle or depth, an opponent's AA button is just gonna get me every time. Makes me really struggle on the other side as Karin when that's a weak part with her, so it's been liberating playing Laura for a bit and having a reliable tool for the job.

I think I'll use all the EXP soldiers on Akuma. I don't want to use him, but I want his Fruit Vendor level 50 title.

I think that's just Guile privilege. Capcom has shown they are fully willing to murder the man's main.


That is absolutely adorable.

For those that play the PC version, does anyone have any suggestions to fix the game running at lower FPS due to CPU? mY cpu is good enough to run the game at 60 fps but whenever I play it, the game goes to around 50-59 FPS for some reason.
