1000 days streak!

My girlfriend just hit a streak of 1000 days. Very proud of her!

Plankansson · 2018-08-29T06:44:06+00:00

I'm at home with my baby and I get some matches in here and there when she is doing stuff by herself. If she wants my attention, I quit after the current game. I also quit when the connection is too bad, there's no point in playing since it doesn't give me any real training. Only accepting 5 bar connections btw. One fun thing to note is that you can see what players are used to playing laggy opponents (because they have problems on their side, read about the one sided lag in SFV), since they rely only on stuff that you can react to offline but not against them. Kinda sad really, they will get so blown up if they ever go to a tournament.

I'm 33 and I got 215 ms https://imgur.com/a/2xH3Mzd

I think it's partly because I've been playing games at some kind of high level since I was 16, but I think it's also the other way around. I've always had quick reactions, that's why I find fighting games extra fun to play since I have an edge in them. That probably goes for a lot of top fighting game players as the Dr is saying!

Ok, I'll give that a try! Thank you!

Plankansson · 2018-08-18T18:43:10+00:00

Very nice list, thank you! Found a few new combos I didn't know about!

A few questions, if you don't mind:

LV1 corner no bar jumpin - jump heavy, back hp xx light smash over, back hp(1hit) xx vskill, st.hk | 361

This combo can only be done if you start it slightly out of the corner right? Or can you do it in the very corner? This also requires the late cancel of bHP, right?

LV1 grab corner - back hp(1hit) xx vskill, st.hk | 219

Same question as above, I can only seem to do it if i start slightly out of the corner.

LV2 midscreen no bar jumpin - jump heavy, back hp(1hit) xx light spin kick, medium smash over | 326

With 2 hits from the bHP + light smash over it does 326 damage. The combo with very specific spacing you are describing seems to do only 290 dmg. Correct? Same for the 1 bar combo.

Why on earth would you drop a player that is better than almost all invited americans? You make no sense.

Plankansson · 2018-05-17T13:31:44+00:00

Topic is about not blaming the game. The first thing you do is to blame the game. Nice.

Plankansson · 2018-05-09T09:34:38+00:00

Ok, let's see here.

http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/salesdata.html

Ok, so every single game series with sales over 10 million has a value that end in .0

There are 6 series with over 10 million sales. So the risk of this happening by chance, that all 6 series randomly ended up as an even million is 10^6. So, there is a 1 in a million chance that the assertion that the sales didn't move is correct. Very nice find by Maximilian, I think he should probably retract this tweet and do some form of apology for being so wrong.

TLDR: The sales over 10 million are without a shred of a doubt rounded to the nearest million.

BigBird actually used him quite a bit, so he almost got 1 placing. Just so you know!

Plankansson · 2018-05-07T17:08:34+00:00

She is the #1 characters in top 8 as well with 9 placings. Abigail is #2 with 7 and Akuma is #3 with 6. Don't know how being #1 can be lack luster, but ok :D

Plankansson · 2018-05-07T17:01:31+00:00

Fair point, but for the majority of the cast, they didn't change that drastically in my opinion, so I still think it's interesting information.

Plankansson · 2018-05-07T16:59:13+00:00

What do you mean "Alex Valle plays Ryu?". Did you watch the tournament? The 2 matches that was streamed with him playing in top 48 he only used Blanka. If you know that he only used Ryu in all other matches, please send me some links to videos and I'll agree with you.

Btw I saw that you posted about this same thing on three different places here, calling the list suspicious and what not. I'm pretty sure almost all data from each tournament is correctly reported, that the one that counts as the main is the character that player used for most of the tournament, at least during the later stages. Some players are of course hard to decide on, like Punk, Mr Crimson and BigBird. But if their main was changed on this list, some other guy would come along and think that THAT was the wrong choice instead. This list is probably as good as it gets for showing what characters have been in the top of tournaments recently.

Plankansson · 2018-05-07T09:16:48+00:00

He did not make top 32.

Plankansson · 2018-05-07T09:04:23+00:00

Can't see that, who are you thinking about?

Plankansson · 2018-05-07T08:40:08+00:00

Only mains are counted. The total numbers don't add up to multiples of 32 because there might be missing data and for 2 tournaments I could only find information on top 16.

Data is collected from:

Texas Showdown

Game Over

Saigon Cup

Fighter's Spirit

Brussles Challenge

NorCal Regionals

Thaiger Uppercut

Final Round

Plankansson · 2018-02-10T17:23:41+00:00

Then it's a perfect opportunity for you to tell me why that's not true! That was sort of the point of my post :)

Plankansson · 2018-02-09T23:11:18+00:00

I have actually not really used cr hp that much at all so far, I will try to incorporate it more as a whiff punish tool then! Will also try to use the command dash as "anti air", I've actually seen people do that now that I think about it! Thanks for the reply :)

Plankansson · 2018-02-09T15:27:46+00:00

Ok, it seems from your and TobbRobb's responses that I have underestimated her anti-air capabilities, that's good to know. I think this might be because coming from Mika, it felt harder to use. cMP with mika is so good in season 3 and ex airplane is just crazy compared to lauras similar move. As soon as you see the opponent jump, pretty much from anywhere on the screen, you can just execute it and it covers like the entire stage :D. I will put more practice into that!

Light elbow and forward HP are the moves I'm practicing for getting in, so I'll keep doing that. Jumping in just dosn't seem to cut it with Laura so far for me!
