Street Fighter V.S. Tekken

maybe you should pick someone with strong mix up and damage as you second character. it is very easy to lose by time over in this game if you play it slow and fall behind in the first 20 seconds. so i think you might need someone to deal damage if you are losing.
 
Yep, but Ryu just seems so good in this game that I keep subbing him in occasionally. I don't know if you remember my DeeJay style in SFIV but I absolutely love crossups and Vega has none :(
 
its actually quite hard to set up cross ups because of the roll, unless you are rolento of course. vega can actually cross up with j.hp but the angle and timing is very specific.
 
jhp has never crossed up in my testing, it has crossed over though (like Rufus' dive kicks).

Cross ups aren't only done on wake up btw ;)
 
i got it a few times, but it is not practical in a match though. although poke into launch and close hp frame trap is enough to beat most characters. have you tried ken? he is pretty godlike in this too. he probably do slightly less damage than ryu but his set ups is more dangerous i thinks.
 
Gonna drop Rufus for Raven, so my team isn't so derpy and overpowered.

Raven is awesome, has some pretty good mixups and his cr.hp loop looks so cool, I haven't quite figured out if he has a reversal yet though so I rely on teleports a lot to get away. His alpha counter is arse.
 
i want to drop steve in favour of a better character, but no one aside from hugo has the damage to satisfy me. steve has kind of been my identity in sfxt so far, i kind of feel attached to him even though rarely win with him and everything about him aside from stylish combos and high damage is complete garbage.

Raven is supposed to be better than Rufus.

My team keeps changing with a mix of Ryu, Guile, Vega, Rufus, Rolento, Ken.

Really can't decide on a team, but I know decent anti airs are very important to me so no Tekken characters :(
 
I can't use female characters and Hwoarang isn't my style :(, so I'll stick with Raven.

Rufus is the best character in the game imo. He has safe chains, can confirm any jab into cross rush from ANY distance since his cr.hp just lands stupidly far in chains. His movement, juggle potential and anti air is all just good. He has no weaknesses.
 
You can punish most chains as they add 7-10 frames of extra recovery. He has the same range as other characters for cross rush as you still have to land the hit before chp, in fact Ryu reaches about the same with cmp cmk hp+hk, Guile reaches MUCH further with cmk hk hk and Vega reaches further with cmp hk hk.

His juggle potential is AWESOME and his AA is good indeed. He definitely has weaknesses though and most top players put him below Raven, but he is top 5.

Who is your other character?

Heihatchi, who I think is top tier aswell. His offense and frame advantage on blocked normals is monsterous. He also has that armour move, one of (if not) the best counter move in the game which you can combo from and just loads of good tools.

I think he is the only Tekken character with decent anti air normals too with his st mp and cr hp
 
Nothing wrong with picking top tier. He's an excellent secondary for most teams but I reckon he will suffer in the long run as mobility becomes far more important than damage.
 
i dont know if you guys seen the footage of the dlc characters. but the any non sf4 returning cast looks so much more fun (and better because most of them have a dp) than the characters ready there. i am looking forward to play alisa, lei (jacky chan baby! this guy got the second best win post in the game i think), and jack.

hwoarang, kazuya (ewgf can act as a dp and i have beaten dp with it but its hard to do as a 1 frame reversal), jin (same as kazuya really) and ogre (1 frame link into cr.mk though, but i dont see it as a problem because of target combo chains)

some characters like king can do armor move (wall bounce on counter hit with king's tackle move) as anti air, reversal and wake up, which is close enough to a dp.

I don't think Jin's damage is great.
Best I can figure is 383 no bar, 434 1 Bar(tag), 422 1 bar no tag, 500 with 2 bars and about 550 with 3 bars.
I might just be spoilt buy Kaz's high damage though.
What kind of damage are you guys getting?

The best I've done so far in this game is 476 with Kazuya, no meter required. It involves a few mist step inputs though so I can't do it consistently, getting better every day at doing that input hoping it'll click for me soon.
