Why aren't you playing the most easiest fighting game ever right now?

Why aren't you playing the most easiest fighting game ever right now?

I don't like it.

You just answered your own question.

But I'm already Diamond rank and everyone online is trash

I just did. I lost 800 points trying to finish this weeks 'win 10 ranked matches mission'. The combination of shitty connection, input lag, v-trigger and shitty defensive options makes me so fucking angry and on tilt that one wrong guess spirals out of control into a loss. I'm not that good at the game and I want to get better but I think playing sfv online isn't good for my mental health. The pro players who compete at this game must have achieved some sort of zen state of enlightenment to not want to kill themselves playing this game.

Because I can't do a shoryuken.

this.

Mkx is the easiest fg out there rn

This desu. I dropped it after 300 hours and now play 3S. A lot happier.

because fighting games aren't fun to me and even if they were, I wouldn't degrade myself by playing such a piece of shit game made by braindead deus who fuck over their fanbase

It took me a year to get to Silver rank. I play Alex. First fighting game I'm playing more than just casually. I'm sick of flowcharters. I don't give them runbacks because if you dont want to play me, then I don't want to play you.

Its not even about it being easy its how its easy. SFV feels mechanically weak as shit and that is why its easy. If anything because normals are so fucking stubby and awful requires mastery of what little you have to work with. But limited defensive/neutral tools make the game a drag. Its encouraged besides maybe Guile that you always play to win.

Even high level players say you should never play with a life lead and should always attempt to end it. Where as playing pretty much any fighter with a life lead is a key fundamental on exploiting someones impatience to get it back but since SFVs neutral is so impossible to control methodically at higher levels they don't suggest it.

Even in GG i see constant life lead exploiting. But in SFV it just doesn't happen. Game is lame a 6/10 fighter that is okay to play that is only played because it has SF in the name.

fite me

>was ultra gold with ryu
>try playing a couple months later
>get raped back to silver in 2 hours
Fuck

if they're flowcharting and brainlessly doing the same blockstring you should be finding the gaps in their patterns. Alex also has the benefit of his v-trigger to blow up repetitive blockstrings. The real problem is when you face actual solid players and you have to start taking risks to deal damage because alex has mediocre pokes and poor oki.

>Even high level players say you should never play with a life lead and should always attempt to end it.
what high level players? because thats not what actually happens at high level play.

Because the gameplay is bland, which I could forgive if everything else was top notch and it was effortless to get in and start a match but everything else is even worse.

I am. Ibuki is fun as hell. Defiantly underrated.

She's not underrated. She's literally in the top five.

It took me a month to reach Gold with M.Bison.

Why is Ryu so bad? What the fuck am I supposed to do with this character except jump in cross up and cr mp/mk xx hdk or srk

just wait until the next update
