Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition
Re: Street Fighter V
I'm getting tired of people rage quitting already. There's no punishment for it, and people are doing it almost every time I'm about to win in ranked mode. It's broken.

Re: Street Fighter V
This is a truly astounding oversight.
Apparently a fix is coming but to launch the game without this is mind-boggling.

Re: Street Fighter V
I'm avoiding ranked so far and sadly it's not down to any technical issues, what's the pedigree of the online ranked match thus far? I got lucky with my only attempt and it was against someone still happy to continue with just 1 win in 20 games, I'm guessing this isn't the norm but it's much better than getting my ass handed to me by resident ass kicker Jinkkai. Speaking of that beast, I'd suggest anyone here adds him if they want a lesson in becoming good at the game and most importantly what your weaknesses are.

Re: Street Fighter V
Not sure how many ranked matches I've played but I hit 100 wins earlier, and I've had maybe 10 or 11 rage quits on top of that. I'd say the lower your LP vs theirs, the more likely you'll see a rage quit because of the perceived skill differential/how much they have to lose. There's also a bunch of guys sitting at around 2000-2500 who have no business being there from exploiting it.
Don't let them win, Mike! Just keep going. LP is basically meaningless at this point beyond being a matchmaking tool.

Re: Street Fighter V
So, I had no excitement for SFV, and, rented it on a whim Saturday night and haven't stopped playing it since. Ordered my own copy last night. I believe my CFN is either Xer0Signal or Xer0. I've added (I think) all of you to my favorites list. Real excited to get some lobbies going once they're patched in.

Re: Street Fighter V
I've been ill and busy with podcast games so I haven't played it nearly enough yet. What I have played of it felt absolutely gorgeous though.

Kudos to all of you for jumping at the invites so far (I did invite SteakEater in an alternate universe where I didn't fear a crushing defeat).
Anybody on tonight? If not I'll get my talcum powder out and jump into ranked.
Re: Street Fighter V
I've only played half a hour, didn't like the "tutorial".
However messed about with Laura and just had my first fight online....
Win with a perfect!, going to delete it now it can only go downhill

It's Xer0Signal (though capitalisation isn't necessary when searching).Sean wrote:I believe my CFN is either Xer0Signal or Xer0. I've added (I think) all of you to my favorites list.
I think I've got everyone added on here too. For any new readers looking to add everyone in this thread, the CFN IDs so far are:
RatsoAlbion
iwatttfodiwwfa
Flabyo
mikeleddy83
beck1110
SteakEater
Xer0Signal
Also, others of note (not on the forums):
KayinAmoh (Darren Forman, previous CAR contributor)
Ghostchant (Andi Hamilton, frequent CAR guest) - this one's from memory of watching him stream last night, so I will check it
Lorsini (PSN: strybe)
Jinkkai (on recommendation of mikeleddy83, if you're up for a spanking)
I'm almost certainly missing/forgetting some people (apologies), so if you let me know I'll try to keep the list up-to-date at the end of each post I make on here. That way we have a running 'Add Me!' list for any new arrivals. Equally, if you'd like me to remove you from that list, please let me know.
To clarify, capitalisation is irrelevant, so don't worry about that when typing in. Apologies also if I incorrectly capitalised your CFN ID.
The servers are about to go down for a few hours (1pm to 4pm PST, I believe), so don't look to be adding anyone tonight. Cheers all, promise I'll get some matches in with you all soon.
Re: Street Fighter V
Andi is also on as andihero, he has one ID on PC and another on PS4.
Gave up on Laura for now, I like her play style but I just can't find any easy way to punish and so much of her stuff is unsafe.
Started playing Karin and almost immediately I'm doing much better. Blew through survival on normal where I'd been struggling to get past the mid 20s before, and if people would stop sodding rage quitting I would've had a pretty good run of results in ranked as well.
Karin has good punishes, some good ways to deal with the fireball game, and some decent mixup play even before you activate v trigger.

Re: Street Fighter V
Yeah Laura's not got much in the way of guaranteed damage off her punishes, the only thing that really combos is stand jab > LP bolt charge. She's all about going for the reset and keeping the pressure on. I was considering changing to Necalli but something clicked today and I've been having a lot more success.
Karin is one of the characters I have trouble against, still figuring out what I can punish and what I can't. She seems pretty solid all round. So many options.

Re: Street Fighter V
Nice one James, that's really handy
Re: Street Fighter V
I returned my rental last night, and, my own copy should be arriving tomorrow. The withdrawal is real, man. Dying to get back into it. Thanks for putting that list together, James!

Re: Street Fighter V
Might well do if nobody else is up for a beating and Eastenders isn't on downstairs, I've not seen him about of the forums much lately but I had a good game against RobC (psn: RobC-UK). I'd never fought Rashid and Rob is your man though I narrowly managed to best him over some well fought battles.
Good list James, you fought well tonight!
Edit: Really solid session tonight and I got over the hump of ranked, slightly pushed on by a brutal session with SteakEater who I just can't figure out just yet. With that said I'm certainly switching the game on first thing once I get back tomorrow, hope to see even more of you on then, think it's just domsbeard and xer0signal to play before I have a full house.
