Well can't say they didn't try to make FGC esports a thing.

When the main game is ran so badly, I can't blame the sponsors for jumping ship...

Also FUUUUUCK that Guile controller shit. Like, really?!

It reminds me of the fuckery a few years ago when that Viper player in mvc3 was killing it using his modded stick, then they banned that shit outright while actual commentators like James Chen where commending top players using modded sticks to help them plink better in sf4.

Top player ass privilege.

Have you really not had a moment in this game where you've guessed wrong several times in a match? Because I find that hard to believe. It's easier to judge things from the outside looking in rather than actually doing something in the heat of the moment.

Of course I have. I just thought that by asking that question I'd get a technical breakdown (I assumed that there was something I was missing as a player of low skill) of what happened rather than a bunch of witty quips at my expense.

My bad. I'll try to stick to lurking like I usually do.

Yeah, kind of starting to see the writing on the wall for this. I'm sure the best of the best can continue to compete on their own dime because they've won a considerable amount of money but what about the potential new stars coming up? They cant even dream of doing this without sponsors footing the bill for travel.

I've been warming up each night with casual matches where I just focus on neutral. No jumping, no crush counter combos, no command throws, or raw specials. Just whiff punishes, throw teching, anti-airs, blocking. I lose most matches, but I tend to draw the rounds out, even getting some time outs.

I'm learning it's the most troll shit you can do in SFV. People don't know what to do. They don't give no runbacks. They hate it.

I love it.

Fighting games don't have the player base or overall viewership. I don't know these sponsors are expecting. They need to grow the scene.

You should play a control character. This is 50% of the reason why I play Menat.

While on topic, decided to try some more of Menat's trials. Understanding her VT1 somewhat better now, no idea if VT2 is actually a viable alternative since I never see any tourney players use it.

In summary the game focus to much on frame data and offensive pressure with lack luster neutral.


Karin is a frustrating to fight. She has her St.LK, it got nerfed in S2 but that means nothing if DPs got nerfed and it being 2f gap frame trap, you can't challenge it.

That's the SFV's Offense > Defense

Kolin's St.HP. I remember the leaks about her that she has stubby normals but her St.HP is once of the best heavy normals in the game and that's without VT2. You can't challenge it because her hurtbox doesn't expand forward until the activation frames.If you try to challenge it with a Cr.MK that can buffer into a special it's going to whiff and her St.hp will whiff punish and cancel into daggers. So you gotta challenge it with your longest poke which mostly likely can't be canceled and still be whiffed punished if they delay the St.HP.

That's SFV's neutral.

This Monday Capcom will announce their Q3 FY2018 Financial Results.

So if we're lucky (it isn't very likely) they may mention some SFVAE/SF 30th Anniversary Collection/Capcom Beat 'em up Bundle results or (even less likely) announce some new SFV S4 plans or something related to the arcade release, like some new feature, content or game mode added to the console/PC version that they could include in the upcoming weeks.

Meanwhile Xian is the embodiment of Razer.


This is why FGC needs to jump on to PC. More sponsorship opportunity. I can't think of any company other than Redbull that also holds tournaments.

I mean Dude we all watched that China tournament right? I'm not sure I can sit through that type of bumblefucks again because people thought PC's were good for the tourney. There is alot of Fiddling that has to be done on PC that just isn't there for Consoles or Arcade Cabinets so I doubt PC will ever really be the main venue for Fighting Games.

I agree the controllers and sticks parts. But Linux is like 1% of the sales for many games and traditionally is very problematic with compatibility and other issues, so developers frequently skip it because of that.

And Valve is trying to fix this with Steam play.
Tekken 7 runs ok but that depends how the driver supports are on Linux

I just uninstalled the game for the first time since launch.
With the weekly FM rewards now not even enough to play the costume battles, and no season 4 news on the horizon, I'm finding little motivation to play so freeing up some space for other games.
I hope they make some changes that will bring me back in at some point.

This is me at this point. I've basically stopped playing weekly. The new season changes don't feel significant to the characters I play and without the carrot of weekly FM, I'm not going to be putting as much effort in.
Also, it was getting real tiresome playing an almost endless stream of Kage and Ken for a while.

Anyone else find this weirdly nostalgic? I mean, it's only been about a year since AE came out and replaced this track. I definitely prefer this older one.

HiFight gave a really nice breakdown of the Tokido vs Daigo match on Street Fighter League yesterday:




Yesterday's Street Fighter League match is archived here:

Need to register an account first though.

The site was clever enough to change the interface language settings to English automatically for me.
Must be because it detected that my IP address was from outside of Japan.

Ultimate could keep up with the other esports, unlike most fighters it has the as high a player base as any of the big guns. It's not even really pushed by Nintendo either.

If it's not pushed by Nintendo, how is it going to compete with the other eSports? The money invested won't be close to the likes of Dota 2 or StarCraft II.

That makes sense, but then we look at FighterZ and we see there's a lot more to the success of an eSport, too.

Eliminate the bring your own controller aspect. It would suck for many players, but would resolve many issues with sticks and pads not working.

What about people who play on hitbox controllers? What about people who play on pianos or guitars? It doesn't make sense; there is no standardized equipment. Same goes for actual sports.
