    Lariat is fuckin scary because it's a Real Mixup on block

    Powerbomb catches anything that isn't srk/jump/backdash

    St.mp catches anything that isn't srk/block

    Blocking kills you for srk

    So PFunk, the modder that created the Q skin for Bison in SFV, is working on a "classic" Alex skin that looks amazing. He's the same guy that made the SFIV Alex skin for Abel. So far he's ported that model over, but now he's working on facial rigging and resculpting parts of the model to better fit SFV. I'd link you to the thread, but the modding forum does host some pretty NSFW stuff.

    I don't understand what move even does Alex's parry

    I thought it was the Skill, but guess not

    It's vtrigger.. it auto parries once when you do the lariat thing, but you can tap it again to parry more and ti recharges his vtrigger meter when you do it.

    It's his v-trigger, the charging animation will parry once.

    If you release v-trigger immediately then, nothing will happen.

    If you release and press it again, you can parry the second hit of a multi hit move (and so on for 3rd/4th)

    If you hold it a bit after the parry and then release v-trigger you will get the arm bar to come out.

    It's all rather unintuitive, in truth.

    Color 15 doesn't open for purchase in the shop until you have that character at level 50

    So is the Hot Ryu alt not available for purchase? That's the only costume I want out of what I've seen.

    Alex story costume color 2 is all I need

    It isn't green, which is a brave new world for me

    But powerboming fools barefoot in a belly shirt and magenta sweatpants is my jam

    Only thing missing is YUM across the ass of his pants

    Apparently the premium costumes won't be up until the Zenny shop works.

    All the preorder costumes are their "Premium Costumes," and nobody's Premium Costumes are available yet

    Those'll go up whenever those all do, which I assume will be the April update?

    Yeah the "premium" costumes are a good ways off still, they can only be bought with real life dollars as opposed to Bison bucks and they're apparently having so much trouble implementing it they mentioned future DLC characters will be temporarily f2p like Alex if its not in place yet.

  • KwoaruKwoaru Confident Smirk Flawless Golden PecsRegistered User regular
    The temporary f2p thing should really be the default anyway

    Lots of people will want every character will still get them but somebody out there probably wont and it would be nice for them not to have to spend their points/bucks to find out

    Yes but that sounds sensible and this is Capcom we're talking about

    I like throwing st.mk out to get some walking room, and lariat takes you forward a bit. But currently my elbow does a lot of the closing work.

    Well spaced chops, st.mk, cr.mp, elbow slash.

    That's really what you've got. If they show you they don't know how to deal with elbow, abuse it. Lots of people will push a button and whiff because it shoves you out. St.lk xx ex chop and then THERES NO ESCAPE

    Dash powerbomb is worth trying at least once just to feel them out

  • FaranguFarangu I am a beardy man With a beardy planRegistered User regular
    The one deceptive thing about elbow though is that EX actually has MORE recovery, not less. So lk elbow is the safest to get in, at -3(?)

    Depends on the exact range because mk elbow does have worse frame advantage but also more consistently pushes you out of jab/punish range.

    I should really try to play more than 3 hours a week before I try to sound smart. Stupid responsibilities.

    in my defense I'm not usually that crazy about alt costumes

    but if they ever give birdie the "suit a few sizes too small" costume from some of the artwork I'm all in

    I am jazzed because the wife and baby are going out of town next weekend for four days so I will actually have some serious game time available

    I'm hoping they'll do multiple matches per lobby like a few of the latter last-gen fighters.

    Also, does anyone know if I can use a ps360+ PCB on ps4 without a dual shock 4 for each one? I only have multiple arcade sticks but only one ds4 to authenticate.

    How the hell do you join someone's lobby without an invite? I can't do it through the in-game friends list, I can't do it through Steam, and I can't search for my friends' games in Battle Lounge.

    There is a "No Kreutzs" feature added last patch. Maybe that's enabled.

    You know frametraps in SFV work a lot like 3D fighters. Probably why I like it so much.

    Frame traps in V work like frames traps in any fighting game

    Yeah. But its hard to explain I kind of feel like you can freeform a bit with it.

    Its mainly because of how the normal priorty system works.

    Its kind of like in 3D games you don't just pay attention to how +/- something is but also how an attack moves a characters hurtbox.

    2D games don't tend to focus on this as much for obvious reasons. However with the way normal prority works it adds a layer of knowing that an attack can "win" even if it hits on the same frame in certain situations.

    And that adds another layer to how frame traps work imo. Well not just frametraps but footsies too.

    Like it makes it easier to steal turns which is something you tend to see in both games but a bit more in 3D ones.
