Fair enough. I am a casual player, I can barely get out of the bronze league

Looks like decent Vega buffs, a few Urien nerfs, no Cammy nerfs, DP changes and Zangief gets new moves!

Zangief gets a freakin choke slam
hahaI doubt its going to change the game much but I do love Urien's c.mk nerf
More and more events popping up for 5, not just the pro tour any more. But if any of you are in Scotland in April: www.hypespotting.co.uk

Not had chance to play this last month between work, Switch, new kitchen and PSN ran out. Clawed my way into Gold and need to get to some locals. I was bricking it for Laura nerfs but glad to see she's largely unaffected!

I watched some last night, it's pretty funny watching an SF5 tourney with the production values of E-League.
One thing I did notice is there's betting for this on Bet365
I spotted a few interesting odds for tonight; JWong vs Snakeeyez the odds are the same for either to win at 1.83. Also Wolfkone is a long shot vs all of the Asian players. I could see him winning a couple against Fuudo, Xian, Mov and Tokido.

Haha - yup they're on Ladbrokes as well.
When they first went up Smug was 300/1 or something stupid - but they cancelled everyones bets. haha. apparently they can just do that.

Anyone playing with any regularity? I've had an enforced break (new kitchen, PSN expiring, Switch launching). Seem to have forgotten how to play properly and keep dropping my CC combos and can't AA for toffee. Went to Robin Hoods in Nottingham and played some much higher rank players than me - learnt a lot. I press way too many buttons!
Anyone wanting to school a Gold Laura in Lounges? CFN is syph0n. I try to get on in the evenings, normally 9pm onwards. PSN is in my sig.

It's interesting to see the reaction to 5. At the locals last night, I think we were the only 5 set up. Had at least 2 for 3rd Strike, 1 GG, couple of KI and MKX I think.
Thing for me is, though I loved and played 2 and 3 to death, could do every move with every character, combos were just not something I knew about. I won because I could do special moves and had timing to jhk and sweep lol. I only really played USF4 towards the end of its life and could barely do crmk xx hadouken! As a result, I got destroyed online and realised there's a huge chunk of the game I simply had no awareness of.
5 is the first I've taken seriously, realised you get bodied if you can't do punishes, AAs etc. So I've put time into it and consequently really enjoy it. The entry barrier is undoubtedly easier.

I think almost everyone really enjoys their first competitive fighting game, and then hates anything that changes that formula
SFII players hated SFIII
SFIII players hated SFIV
SFIV players (like me) hate SFV
You will probably hate SFVI

I remember reading how 3 was universally panned. I also remember people moaning about how 5 would fix the stupid OS mechanics and stuff like that of 4.
I get why people are annoyed though with 5, but I do enjoy the 'explosiveness' of it. Laura is the first character outside of a shoto I've played and realised how boring Ryu actually is.

Comeback mechanics are the parts people disliked the most about IV, V and MvC3 but I learned fighting games alongside them so it's all I know.
What I dislike about V is that everyone plays in such a similar way compared to the previous versions and there is less scope for different playstyles than there used to be. The game favours aggressive play with the poor zoning, no footsies and unreliable anti airs, and the lack of balance in the risk/reward system.
I'm biased though as my style is to be a reaction/punish based turtle which is what SFV was engineered to stop

Haha I hate turtle players .. mind you i haven't played ranked in a while. But with my silver Alex I alwYs struggle getting in at the silver ryu's/guile's who just hold up back then throw fireballsComeback mechanics are the parts people disliked the most about IV, V and MvC3 but I learned fighting games alongside them so it's all I know.
