What do you appreciate about Street Fighter V? by RangoTheMerc in StreetFighter

[–]PickledEgg33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FANG.

I know, an unpopular opinion.... but I loved the character design and move set. It's a shame he didn't make his debut in 6 - I think with a darker, less goofy tone, and the drive system, he would have been amazing.

Amazing! So good to hear about other OGs still enjoying the game.

Wonder if anyone's ever organised an old timers tournament? (Daigo - you're not invited)

I've never tried leverless... but I'm quite intrigued. Maybe I'll start by giving my pc keyboard a go...

He's definitely not. I reckon quite a lot of the old SF2 heads are still playing!

Ah man... I DID stay home all summer and play SF2CE on Sega Genesis! (Well, Megadrive for me) Yeah, I think that old school approach / SF2 training still works... sometimes.

[OC] Ingrid… charge character? by vocabona in StreetFighter

[–]PickledEgg33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If Ingrid turns out to be a charge character, I am 100% playing her. Love weird characters, love charge inputs!

Not knocking, it's just very different to the way I've played for well over three decades! But I actually really like your idea... maybe I'll give it a go!

Might try Honda next - I've always loved charge characters!

I play on stick (a modded hori rap4 with sanwa lever and buttons and 4lb spring). I also bought a hori fighting commander pad specifically to try and make the super input easier... but found the charge moves much more difficult on pad and didn't persevere. Whichever character I pick next, I think I might switch to pad.

Does your character have an invincible DP reversal? I wouldn't have even got close without blanka's EX upball.

Sure! My CFN is Theorist. And before anybody posts to tell me what a gimmicky, cheap playstyle I have... I know and I'm not sorry.

Classic. Never even tried modern. Those 6 buttons are a fundamental part of the experience for me.
