Street Fighter (SFIV, SSFIV, HDR)

Nah, your online rank (like Bronze, Silver, Gold etc). If you weren't a million miles above me (I'm Super Gold) I'd play some sets with you if it helped.

I tried to go back to SFIV yesterday and I can no longer do even the simplest of combos!

Not even Deejay's dash Ultra II after an ex.MGU, or Balrog's cr.lp, cr.mp ex.upper loops

They are middle of the road in terms of difficulty.

My CFN is syph0n, feel free to add me (that goes for anyone).

If you see me on, send an invite for a battle lounge.

I think if they did add a timing system to optimise damage, that would go some way to differentiate between those with smooth, clean timings and people like me who can do the more complicated SFV combos because I can mash quickly

I've got to Super Gold and can't even do lp lp xx lp bolt with Laura with any regularity! In fact, I'm pretty poor at all light confirms.

I do appreciate people like the one frame links and stuff like that.

I think lowering the combo difficulty is a very good thing personally.

elrasho · 19 Jul 2017 at 10:31

Suph0n do you know OMH? He's from Nottingham I think.

I do - I don't think I would have gotten into SFV as much as I have if I didn't. It doesn't come naturally to me to do the combos, there's a lot of trials I still can't do and lack the patience for. My brother on the other hand finds it quite easy to quickly do trials and stuff. It's not massively made a difference to our overall skill levels. He's a better player, but it's very even really offline.

In any case, there are still lots of people complaining about SFV and one complaint is it's 'too easy'/lacks variety in combos. Some characters I would definitely agree.

I only know the Nottingham guys by actual names. I have a couple on PSN but I don't go down to Hoods much so I've not really got chance to add people to CFN. What character does he play (or did in SF4)?

He played Oni in SF4

I'm enjoying playing SFV today. My glorious silver rank self is stomping all these bronze players the game wants to put me against.

Did they ever lower the input lag as my anti airs seem to be working.

Syph · 19 Jul 2017 at 23:01

They did, depending on when you last played. It went from 8 to 6 ish if I remember right.

Syph · 20 Jul 2017 at 20:21

Anyone up for some lounges later? I'll be on at 10 (after Love Island haha).

Cfn is syph0n. I'll be playing as Laura or Ed.

Kreeeee · 20 Jul 2017 at 20:24

Sure I'm happy to play some 1v1.

Syph · 20 Jul 2017 at 20:34

Cool, send me an invite if when you see me on, I can post here of you want?

Kreeeee · 20 Jul 2017 at 21:43

I'm on pc so I have no idea if voice chat will work.

Syph · 20 Jul 2017 at 21:48

No, it definitely doesn't. My bro is on PC, we have to WhatsApp. Are you on Discord? I'm syph0 #7476

Kreeeee · 20 Jul 2017 at 21:59

Never used Discord.

Edit: Aha it has a web browser mode, nice.

Kreeeee · 20 Jul 2017 at 23:45

Good games, I got creamed!

Syph · 21 Jul 2017 at 00:10

Ggs. You're out of practice, that's all. I look forward to some more games!

ShortWarning · 21 Jul 2017 at 10:52

I'd like to get back into this. I played as Ken when it was released and climbed to silver. I was never very good or consistent though. Tried Akuma a few weeks back and really struggled to do anything.
