The story of the first 3 Jojos is so screwed up. Unforgettable feelings indeed. Did did some pretty dreadful things.
Capcom Cup 2015 bracket: http://challonge.com/capcom_cup_2015
Some truly crazy matches. Iām not even that fond of SF4 anymore, but damn that bracket is packed.
Nothing but killers there, good stuff.
So who likes SF5? I like SF5. Letās talk about SF5.
Fang is ridiculously fun and has some really good matchups, but I feel like heāll end up mid-tier if only because he doesnāt have the damage output of a lot of the cast.

My buddy told me its more like 3rd strike, which is my favoriteā¦should I buy it?
Iām a 3S player too and Iām really happy thus far. Itās not as fast as 3S but the damage is way higher than SF4. Also the stun meterās back and itās got alpha counters for everyone.
What is it that you like about 3S? Thatād help me recommend or not.
I was a fan of the parry system. Iām not a super technical or even good player. I was the best button masher in our group, so theres that. I feel like 4 was more cludgy and timing based, 3 was more about controlling with standard moves, if that makes sense.
Itās a lot easier to get consistent combos in SF5. There are waaaaaay fewer 1-2 frame links to worry about. You can usually just buffer or mash out a lot of your combos.
The neutral game has improved a lot IMO. Lots of poking with normals at mid range like you said. Obviously some characters prefer closer/longer ranges, but spacing is super important.
Weird thing about parries- everyone has a unique V-skill. Ryuās is a parry and itās really good. Iād compare this more to Super Turbo than 3S in terms of defensive skills though. No focus attacks or invincible backdashes making things a crapshoot, just knowing where to block when.
TL;DR I think youād like it. Itās the closest theyāve come to 3S in years, even if itās not really that close.
Akuma was my guy for all versions of SF, heard heās not in it (yet), anyone similar?
Edit: I like rushdown
Sort of? If what you liked was hucking air fireballs and following that up thatās not really a thing. If you like setups and hitting lots of buttons on top of people thereās definitely that. Bison is a pure pressure character now and a lot nastier in close. Once he gets you in the corner youāre going to have a bad time. Rashid has projectiles and all kinds of weird angles of attack, plus heās quick. Laura is kind of Makoto-ish.
Iāve always been a fan of dive kicks and zoning with his various fireballs, so yea, the air fireball is pretty key. Is bison still a charge character 
Bisonās still mostly charge, though his main pressure special is a command.
Rashid is sounding like someone youād like a lot. Heās got flying kicks and tricky tornado projectiles to put pressure on from everywhere. Super mobile too.
Saw the video, thought so too. Might catch it on first sale.
SFV is so different from the other street fighters, itās crazy not to try it. Iām finally impressed straight up with a street fighter title that isnāt 3. The game just has so much character, and it is more accessible while being even deeper thanks to the v trigger system. Everyone having a guard cancel move is pretty sweet too (forward and 3 attacks while guarding), a universal defensive option goes a long way towards making it feel like this strike, even though mechanically itās an alpha counter. Itās like they wanted to make a sequel to street fighter alpha, and forgot to bloat the game with rehashes and nonsense. Good job capcom
I just upgrade my MKX to MKXL,so I guess I wonāt buy SFV until June when I can buy SFV with the new GGXrd.I have never played any SF so Iām not quite familiar with SF,but of course Iāll give it a try.
Sadly, I bought SFV but need about Ā£300 of PC upgrades before itāll even run
any recommendations for offline fighting games? i heard about yomi and battlecon series, is there anything else worth playing?
[edit: by offline i meant tabletop, those where your dexterity doesnt make a difference]
Thereās so many SNK fighting games on Neo Geo to consider before anything else. I just suggest that no one play Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3, itās garbage shit garbage aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I canāt rage hard enough
Mind your language. You can make your point without the C word
oh, my mistake. by offline i meant tabletop, those where your dexterity doesnāt make a difference.
