    @Gary Hey B, so... I wanted to talk to you about that. See... there's this thing in gaming called Marketing. The guy in the mask is working on building up his youtube "persona", something like MF Doom, but just for gaming. So he wears a mask. You can check his youtube page out here ua-cam.com/users/Blaquepauldron
    Your fake gansta or bravado of acting like your cool is suspect at best. You see.... you're on a youtube page about gaming... watching a Street Fighter 5 review at hours of the night, commenting about a person you have no idea about, trying to make the correlation between the guy getting laid and wearing a mask. I for one wear a Powerglove to pay homage to my roots in gaming and its a reflection of my persona as a gamer but it does not define me and it has nothing to do with me getting laid as my fiance from Jamaica can atest to that.
    Finally.... I think you really need to look back at yourself and evaluate what is really important in life because concerning yourself with where the man in the mask dick has been, shouldn't be a concern of any man. Real recognize real... and you're looking real unfamiliar.
    Oh... one more thing, don't get it twisted. We like video games but we grew up in the hood and the 3rd world. Spanish Town JA, Boston Road BX and Crown Heights BK. Our options was either catching the jux, laying peeps down, get locked up or get put in the box, or use gaming to make something of ourselves. Don't get it twisted, stay in your lane.

      EmpireArcadia You are right on this. Ryu was absolutely honest in SFIV but he was quite good cause you have to respect him in situations you don’t have to vs other characters and his tools equalize him even in his more difficult matchups. He was honest in the good ways not trash like u showed here in this point in SFV.

    Great video! I agree about everything except the Stun Bar.
    The Stun Bar itself is not a bad thing, it's the lack of good defensive tools and the heavy emphasize on guessing that's the real problem.

    • @eskofreshalexis2235
      @eskofreshalexis2235 6 років тому +10

      Why is there a stun meter (or any stun) at all? A player should have to finish their opponent off on their own. Right now the SB is adding insult to injury and assisting as a crutch. Most matches won in SFV because someone became stunned. It doesn't even promote the losing player to play more active. When your SB is high, you're more than likely become defensive. Bring back the guard meter to stop super-defensive play. All people do in SFV is fish for stun and crush counters. You can't play real footsies with CCs on normals and stun.

    • @pauldonovan8036

      I agree , they have a stun bar in 3rd strike and even alpha. If I get to work at Capcom thats for something I want to change and be wanting to change. I miss where the pro beat us because they were actually better than us. Its like all of the sudden in real life boxing a scrub who is given special gloves can now beat a pro, like what! where is the skill involved? I love losing knowing it was my fault completely and get better as I loose like in 3rd strike for example.

    • @shindean
      @shindean 6 років тому +1

      My only problem with the stun bar is that even in third strike the application was more complicated, and every individual bar from your super bar, health bar, and stun bar all had characters that only excelled at a few of them, but not all of them. Everyone seems to stun at the exact same rate in SF5, and that just adds to a lack of variety.

    • @skipfuego6339
      @skipfuego6339 6 років тому +1

      He's not trash, the only reason why he is so low in the charts is because his dragon punch has been reduced, most characters can deal with fireballs and a lot of people don't want to put in that work. Most of his fights are 50/50 I play with Ryu, Alex, zangief and Juri.

    • @BIGPOPPARICK
      @BIGPOPPARICK 6 років тому +16

      Ryu is the most honest character period they toned him down way too much. They killed his fireball and then his dp. He's way too basic already now he has really no okie while other characters have brain dead easy 50/50 v trigger combos

    • @lawzbv8555
      @lawzbv8555 6 років тому +9

      Skip Fuego Ryu is 100% trash. He lacks a far reaching poke, has zero setups off throw unless it's in the corner and even then he isn't on good advantage, he has one of the worst vtriggers in the game, and lacks a consistent CC poke that most of the cast has. Try fighting Balrog, a character like him amplifies Ryu's weaknesses perfectly. He can literally stand exactly mid range or closer and cover all of Ryu's options off a simple reaction. You can be good with Ryu, but Ryu is not good.

    • @skipfuego6339
      @skipfuego6339 6 років тому +1

      His V-trigger is the same thing as it was in 3rd Strike...Only thing different is the damage. I'm not damage hungry at all because I know my characters tools can save me and I know the point of having him. Second, I beat Ultra diamond Mike Bison(Balrog) players all the time! That is what's wrong with the North American Players now...Ya'll are so damage hungry and don't want to put in work with the characters you like. I see more online warriors putting in more work with their mains than the well-known pros ya'll like so damn much. Come on! Wasn't this the same guy who placed a 100 or 200 dollar match and lost and then claim he doesn't play the game. Sanford has excuses after excuses why he isn't playing this game. His favorite character is coming back in the new installment

    • @lawzbv8555
      @lawzbv8555 6 років тому

      Skip Fuego It's not about the damage at all. Other than being a one time combo extender his vtrigger has no other use. There are many characters who can literally turn the tide of a match and get multiple mixups or extra options by activating trigger. And congrats on beating a Balrog player, my point is still true. Did you think what you said makes Ryu better or..? Just to reiterate it's not about damage it's about options. Ryu doesn't have options with the tools he has now when comparing to the rest of the cast. And talking trash on NA players doesn't make sense. The best Ryu players (Daigo, Tokido, NL etc.) all dropped Ryu for a reason. This is why.

    Sanford is just stating 100% facts. It's really very simple. This game was meant for scrubs and noobs period. It was purposely dumbed down and is heavily based on guessing rather than skill/reactions/execution. They wanted to bring in the casual player and completely ignored the old school players that supported them for years. The games not changing, the gameplay will continue to be brain dead trash. Adding new characters, useless costumes, and a million stages isn't gonna make the game good but the Capcom sheep will continue to be gullible.

    What sanford is saying about the game is legit, regardless of personal views. i see people who could not even make 2000pp in SF4 making diamond to ultra diamond in this game. The game is not about skill, why do you think it took daigo so long to adapt to the game, and even when he did he still isnt placing as high as he used to. The frame lag on this game does not justify the frame data given to the characters. There are so many characters with minus framed buttons or specials which you can not punish cleanly i.e kolin, young zeku, f.a.n.g...the list goes on. The game was made to make less skilled or experienced players feel more confident about fighting against experienced players, even worse the frame lag on this game used to be about 9 frames.... Fair play if you disagree, but regardless this is the worst street fighter game in history. Even games like 3rd strike which has a very strict input system are still a lot more fun to play than this. I still try and play this game regardless, but when i find myself not being able to react or punish things, then deciding to block and be patient (which is the first ticket to being beaten...) i get put in throw loops, i have literally seen characters like rashid dash from a good distance..pressed a button, see my button coming out and been thrown out of the button... this is why throw loops on this game work, on SF4 you could not do this, a normal will always interupt a throw, even at times if it is timed poorly. I keep hoping this game will change for the better but it doesnt look like it.

    • @tyrenace6597

      That's me. I got my diamond Ed in this meanwhile can't make 1k pp on USF4. I think I have an excuse though.... SFV online feels faster then SF4 Online. Probably because the gameplay is tied to the framerate. Maybe that argument comparing the online play between both games is invalid.

    • @ktp3429
      @ktp3429 6 років тому +1

      Lamar Cockrell im not condeming people who are doing better in SFV than USF4, I just think the game design does not promote skillful play or forcing people to learn how to play fighters. If you are using the current tools in a traditional way to win, that is to be expected since because of the game. But if you are e.g an akuma player spamming Cr.HP for crush counters or pressure you are not using skill you are abusing the games mechanics

    I fully believe the conspiracy of Ryu & ChunLi being nerfed badly on purpose by Capcom, to give semi-pro and pro players incentives to use other characters in competitive play.
    That way, the new and returning characters would have more exposure on streams, weekly tourneys and in tourneys.
    The casuals who don't play competitively, will still play Ryu and ChunLi regardless of those characters being "good" or not.

    Capcom is trying too hard to make the game appeal to casuals. it was 8f when it first came out, people are talking like 6.5 is a huge improvement already lmao. 6.5 + latency is what make grapplers so strong. You try to do delayed neutral jump but you just end up getting grabbed anyway. Game is shit...some characters have waaaay 2 much advantage over certain chars. Pros wont be playing this piece of shit if it wasn't for the money.

      Ryu is trash!?! LOL You're bugging... He might be low tier to some people but he is not trash...Most of his fights is 50/50 due to his 3rd striking abilities and his powerful critical art that takes near the same amount of damage like Balrog's critical art. The only reason why people say he is trash is because a lot of players don't want to put in the work to show his true Potential, and his dragon punch was reduced. Ryu always been a mid tier character because he already have the tools to balance most situations. Do you even play Street Fighter?

    Some more stuff to add to uncle saltford
    1. moves that have Iframes on frame 3 or lower can be Crush countered while others can't...
    This creates a system with rules that don't always apply.
    2. priority system only works on the ground.
    This means no priority system for anti air's and air to air's leading to anti air jab beating damn near everything.

    There are still things I like about 5, but yeah this is how I've felt since day 1.

That's the main difference, sf5 is about guessing what will happen next.

      in third strike, you could literally "if you knew how" remove the stun in less than 1second or actually "1second" so when someone stuns > jumps > u`ll either random parry/trade/duck his ability or block, but there's more things in sf3rd stike "parry and so on", in SF5 which i only played little "i dislike it because of the way i see urien ageis + almost every character can hit you to reset from airborne + choose whatever fucking side he wants",and at least in thirdstrike you could parry when you see the ability coming "even if you didn't move and someone else have done the super, you have 0.1sec to start parry after animation hits "when you see thunder on the screen"... and in sf5 preemptive parry?

    • @penkunator
      @penkunator 6 років тому +18

      Being able to "adapt" requires a certain level of freedom from the game. The less options you have, the harder it is to both have your unique style and to adapt to opponent's style.
      This is the reason why people are screaming for more legit defensive options (ie. corner stops being a 50:50 deathtrap that everyone and their grandmothers can abuse) and why characters like Guile, Urien, Akuma, Ibuki, Menat, and even Abigail (ie. ones who gain an additional dimension of options with V-Trigger) are stronger and/or more entertaining to play than the majority of old characters (ie. ones who can use V-Trigger only for a simple combo extension). In addition to lack of options, the bigger input lag and Crush Counter system adds lot more luck in the neutral game, which combined with some design mistakes (such as light jabs beating jump-in attacks so cleanly) makes lot of the experience gained from previous SF titles go waste.
      SFIV had the focus system, strong defensive options, and smaller input delay so there was a lot more freedom in everything. One of the best examples of "adaption" in the game was the famous Umehara vs. Infiltration FT10. Umehara won the match 10-2 (with a character that basically everyone at the time agreed to be at big disadvantage) by applying a strategy that according to himself "works in Ryu's favor only if you manage to block Akuma's vortex perfectly, can avoid being cornered, and can build one bar for Shakunetsu (EX Hadouken)".
      When it comes to evolution of other games, Guilty Gear Xrd was a "reboot" that made using Roman Cancels both easier (removal of frame tight FRC windows) and more universal (literally everything, including normals, specials, and movement can be YRC'd instead of being limited to select moves), making it both friendlier to casuals and deeper to hardcore players. The game has been at EVO main line-up for the last few years, and the top 8's are filled with long-time veterans like Ogawa, Nage, Nakamura, Omito, and Kazunoko because the "legacy sklls" of GG are still very rewarding.
      So the next time you shout "adapt" like a moron, try to think if it's actually possible, even with the same amount of time as SF2 or 3rd players have had with their games.

    • @silverquis
      @silverquis 6 років тому +2

  • @joelhenry5489
    @joelhenry5489 6 років тому +39

    Tekken is full of 50/50s. There are characters whose entire offense is based around 50/50s. You have to guess all the time. Being called a good guesser in Tekken is a compliment.

    • @SakamotoSan09
      @SakamotoSan09 6 років тому +47

      Tekken 50/50s aren't like SFV 50/50s because the defender has more than 2 options by nature of the 3d movement system. The only time you're going to be in a true 50/50 during neutral is if you're more than 5 frames negative on your opponent at which point you lose the ability to move. Here, in SFV, you are forced into a 50/50 just by being near someone because there aren't enough defensive options.
      Edit: The characters who rely on 50/50s have to work to put you in situations where you're forced to guess between two options because they've cornered you in some way. They're not putting you in 50/50s in neutral.

    • @infer426
      @infer426 6 років тому +3

      Joel Henry but tekken is a game with a completely different system compared to every other fighting game on the market right now. It’s more akin to actual ufc fight which requires a lot of reads. Street fighter games have had guessing like in super turbo but in 5 it’s turned to a 10 as every character has some sort of reset mechanic which just makes the whole game of which was originally based off of patience and combos about worrying about being forced to guess in the corner. That’s my view on the whole thing

  • @gundamxzero3
    @gundamxzero3 6 років тому

    People saying "other games have stun bars" are missing the point. I think the fact that the game lacks in defensive options and getting stunned is the end of the world, having a giant stun bar telling your opponent you're one hit from stun makes his already fairly easy offense even easier. They know that's the last thing you want is to be stun so he can predict what you're going to do next pretty easily. It just makes the game too simple. That's kind of why you see back and forward one-sided rounds in high-level play.

      Only main Street Fighter games that had stun bar was Alpha 3( which was based on too much blocking), Street fighter 3 and street fighter 5 stun bar was based on you getting too much damage. Difference is SF3 series you can hit people a little more before they land on the ground like you would do in a boxing match...SF3 was the closes thing to real fighting out of the whole SF series.

      Kevin Mercurio at the end of the day it's still a stun bar stop trying to justify it, thank you.

    I really appreciate this video. I have always viewed Sanford as being an honest guy who expresses an honest opinion no matter what goofy corny tryhard esports garbage other people come up with for supporting weak and boring games. If he is right and the input lag on SF5 has actually been added on purpose, wow. What a silly and desperate for approval decision to make.
    As someone who was relatively new to the scene some years ago, I really believe that these dumb down tactics are not necessary to attract people. Learning how to play fighting games is actually fun. I have never been attracted to playing a game that promotes dumbing down and hand holding. I have actually enjoyed learning fighting games while playing SFIV and SFV and improving my fundamentals, but even I have felt like my development of fundamentals and fighting game understanding may have been limited or not fully realized because of the SFV lag.
    I have heard that Capcom did not do this on purpose, but it sure would be a shame if they did this on purpose to appeal to a goofy esports marketing strategy.

      If they didn't do this on purpose then what led them to go backwards from SF4?

      They said that something is wrong with the PS4. Tekken people said that too. But I do recall Capcom at the beginning of SFV making some remark about adding lag to make game feel familiar to online players offline. Also, I think the PC version of SFV has less lag than PS4 but still more lag than SFIV. So I am confused.

    The odd thing is, is that this game would be alright even with all the noob parameters they put in. But the Nerfs are killing so many people. I'll say it again, people can justify why Dragon punches needed to be vulnerable, but now you have a useless Ryu, my point has been proven on why it's stupid to do that.

    As a Viper player in SFIV, not being allowed to put my reactions to use because the engine nullifies that ability, certainly does feel like I’m being punished for having a fundamental skill.
    It’s this reason why I don’t mind AA jabs being so prevalent. Sure, I have the mechanical ability (execution) to DP your jump-in. But the built-in 6.5 frames of lag won’t let me. So yea- keep jumping at me, and I’mma keep jabbing.
