Just saw your last match vs Ryu. Dude cleansed u in that last round
Yeah, fourwude's ryu is real nice. First Ryu I've seen utilize the parry effectively. Once he had me in the corner it was over.

I'm hearing a lot of complaining on getting costumes in survival mode
What do you have to do exactly?

You have to play through survival mode to get the alternate colors, and the difficulty ramps up at the end, and if you don't complete it start to finish you get nothing. As opposed to SFIV where all you had to do was use the characters to unlock them.

The problem with survival mode, more than anything else is the absurd waste of time that the early levels are. So, like he says, there is no continuation...which I'm fine with.
But on Normal, which is 30 single rounds, you literally spend 20 minutes just playing through 27 matches of CPU controlled characters that don't block, don't quick stand, don't combo. You will probably get perfect KOs on many of these. Then all of the sudden, in the last few matches the difficulty spikes dramatically.
It's like playing 27 one-on-one matches of basketball vs kindergarten kids, only to find that your last three opponents are Steph, Lebron, Westbrook.
Normal should just be 10 matches, starting from the difficulty of match 21.

Having a lot of fun playing but I need a sparring partner. I'm struggling against characters that rush me like cammy, bison and neccali. Any tips?

Get yourself acquainted with the V-Reversal mechanic. Great for resetting the situation.
Great matches ning! That gief is a local around here. I can imagine dudes face as you lamed it out.
I'm having a great time using gief until I play Fang, Nash, Chun, or Sim. God damn man. Those feel like some true uphill battles.
I used a Hori RAP4 the other night and i think it's better than the Mad Catz TE2. I think the TE1 or TES is better than the HRAP though. I personally use a Hori VLX and it's s*****ng on everything. Just my preference in build, design, and weight of the case though.

the RAP4 caught my eye as well as the price point. With the mad catz sticks selling out. After seeing unboxings and videos on it, I might pull the trigger.

Another tip is to not press/mash buttons if you're getting rushed down or pressured with block strings. Don't mash tech throw also. I have a bad habit of crouch teching which leads to eating a 45% combo. Also gotta learn which normals beat what. I don't look into frame data at all but just know that every character has a few normals with priority that'll beat out whatever your opponent presses.

Played FChamp's Sim. I didn't know Dhalsim can rush down in this game, SMH. His pressure in the corner threw me off.

I was wrong about the MadCatz Fightpad PRO. Don't get it. D-Pad all ****** up, not capturing inputs correctly, and it seems to be on every review for it. Learned especially after trying out FANG, a charge character. Returning it to FRY's after work tomorrow. Will probably end up going with the HORI pad.
DONT BUY THE MADCATZ FIGHTPAD PRO!

FChamp ranked #1 right now... You coming to EVO? SFV broke record for most entrants.

I'm def going to attend local tourneys. I have no chance at Evo so it'll just be a waste of money.
I checked FChamp's record and he only has 1 loss in like 80 something games. He's making Sim look top tier.

I never ask for nerfs but Zangief's CA does too much damage. Like it just doesn't scale or something. All you see is a big chunk of red gone.
Snake eyes was abusing his headbutt. Scariest iteration of Zangief IMO in recent times
Bought the Hori Pro.V Silent and it's good. First proper stick so can't compare to a Mad Catz but I'm getting used to it .
Getting some combos down but doing it in a real match is a whole nother story.

Didn't know the Street Fighter channel did official guides. Ken's just released and it's 9 mins long so quite in depth.

Sim is definitely up there. Mix up game too strong, great long rang normals/anti-airs, teleports, grey health, hover over/slide under.
Your dictator looking reall nice though. I'm suppppper casual right now, but i'm enjoying shid, gief, and claw.

Supper casual is probably not even the word for me.
Still at 0LP and ranked 176K
Now I understand when people find driving games too hard. This is the same for me but I won't give up.

Might lean towards the Pro V silent if there's no more TES sticks by the time I buy.
The Pro VLX is
but I'm not throwing 3 bills for a stick b.
