E. Honda has to show up, he's the last original missing, right?
Changes......buff my grappler's lol
I want to see changes that brings out more characters to the top that we don't see often (Vega and Alex coming up would be great)
@Swing here is Automattocks working Sagat Guide. He did one for Cody and I found it extremely useful.
I've been watching his channel a lot lately. I'll check the guide out as it probably spells out a few things that I'm not aware of.
I'm still stuck outside of gold, although I've taken games off a couple of 5k players. It's just the guys who play at weird ranges that tend to give me trouble. Or they just commit to spamming lots of buttons and I can't figure out a range to get counter hit. Still, I'm dropping less and less when I do start losing and can still fix up some basic execution issues.
Right now I have this weird issue where I'm starting to press cr. mp too early so instead of (mp. > cr. mp. > hp. dp) I'm getting cr. mp > cr. hp.
Gief's horizontal kick parry is one of the strangest buffs I can think of. I've played Cammy, Cody, and Sagat. I spammed medium kick with all of them, and not a single Gief player has ever pulled that counter off on me (at least not that I remember). I remember a guy who tried to, but it's just not practical. I think he's better off spamming jab at that range or committing to the jump in.
It really sucks that so many of the series' mainstays are so weak in season 3. Ryu, Gief, Vega all being low tier really alienates a big chunk of character loyalists. I know a lot of people also think Sagat is weak; I'm too scrubby to really be able to tell. I think he's fine but has a few rough match ups.Not just that.... It sometimes is an accidental input. The only time I actually got that party to work was when I was trying to input an SPD. Funny thing was it ended the match and I was like fuck yeah.... Total fluke.
But I've lost almost all interest in the game since they made Zangief shit.

What changes are you hoping for in S4?
Here’s mine:
NERFS:
Nerf Akuma and Cammy’s b+HP. They already have DPs, force the players to use them. Akuma’s leads into a 3-hit FB or demon flip xx cr.HP CC Oki (arguably the best CC in the game).
Nerf Guile’s normals. Is he a Zoner or Rushdown? Pick one.
BUFFS:
Buff Ryu, Juri VT.
Buff Juri to full stock before match start
Buff Alex so he gets better Oki
Buff Vega’s VR and normals
Buff Gief to S2
Buff Nash to S1
Buff Ryu to S1 (no inv dps, but buff his cr.mk to hado so it’s a true block string and his f+throw range + jp.lk).
Buff Sagat’s walkspeed + normals and give his VT FB pushback to full screen x3.
Buff Falke (but be careful, she could be a pain)
Buff YZ lp Hozanto for better AA
Buff YZ EX-Run Stop to +1
Buff OZ confirm st.lk > lk teki without CH
Buff Cody regular Zonk (projectile inv like Rogs TAP)
Buff Ed VT2 (possibly an OH in VT2 only?)
I’m sure I’m missing some but those are off the top of my head.
I thought this was Vespers best balance change video to date. He clearly says that Guile should be a model to use to bring others up to his level. Don’t nerf (except Akumas b+HP) but bring the cast up. If they could incrementally give balance updates through the year they can fine tune things as they see fit.
Looks like I’m heading back to Metro City
So you said that Capcom is going to buff Cody's Bad Spray (sand throw) in the next update? In SFA3, it dizzied your opponent if it connected; I'm really disappointed with his move sets in SFV. He could really use a buff right now.
Traveling for Thanksgiving so of course I figured I should play some first because I want to get all worked up and not be able to sleep! I went back to PS4 just to see how it compares. The game itself feels way worse, but I think online is actually better. At the very least, I don't notice anywhere near as much roll back. I'm a little below where I'm at on my PC account, but not by much.
Also, nothing feels as good as completely shutting down somebody who takes the first game off you. Just getting all the right reads and punishing them for it two in a row is great. Granted, that's more about the player's predictability than me, but it's not something I ever really did with Cammy. I mean I'd adapt, but mostly I just switched up air timings to start pressure.
