Imagine how nice replays would be if you could turn on the red and blue character highlights for frame data. I could know when I missed my turn by just watching the replay. Of course, you can still see the frame data now, it would just be nice if I didn't have to stare at the numbers instead of the fights. It would be a pretty nice QOL upgrade, even though I'm pretty sure that it's so minor that Capcom would never care enough to implement it.

Uwoh, uwoh, uwoh!

Since it looks like liked one, I always assumed the Akuma's F+HP hop ground punch was an overhead and blocked it standing. (as such it is -2, and not -6 blocked overhead)

I'll also give advice for some. Juri's fireball isn't a low attack. Don't think you are getting put into a unblockable situation when its out and they are doing an airbourne attack.

Anyone else have some advice for moves they get away with all the time, or thought wrong about a move for a long time.

1. How's the netcode/matchmaking on PC? I don't own a console and I don't plan on buying one just for this game!

2. If I want Blanka can I just buy Blanka? Or do I have to buy the whole £25 season pass?

I'd like to see a classic option for SF2 arcade mode in SF5AE where they'd remove V-trigger, CA, EX moves and leave it only normal moves and special moves like it was when SF2 first came out. It'd be very nice to play for fun that way. And they could turn Bison a little more close to what he was in SF2 by allowing him to use his psycho move whenever he want and not locked in VT2.

There's still plenty way that they could improve Arcade Mode with more nostalgic options like this. And of course, this would be just a option. Those who don't like this idea could just play as it is right now.

It was clear that capcom wanted to destroy Urien and Balrog in season 3 cause they were braindead and cheap but why are they fine with Abigail? Sure taking away his cheap moves and the 1 CC combo kill away will destroy the character but if he is going to stay then i want the old balrog and urien back.

I've been a long time spectator of fighting games, but haven't played a traditional one since third strike. I'm currently playing ufc 3 and the netcode can be very bad to where inputs happen 1 second later. I usually don't lag in other games.

Since I was home sick today, I spent most of the morning trying to figure out how to punish blanka balls with Zeku, here are my findings:

Old Zeku:

• Lp/EX Ball - Only EX Koku works consistently, MK Koku only works if you are very close when he uses the ball.

• Mp Ball - EX Koku, MK Koku are the only good punishes. While technically not a punish I find Mp Bushin Flip to be a nice alternative. You can cancel MK Koku into super.

• Hp/VT1 Ball - Here you can get more creative. You can consistently walk up and do st.mp xx lk teki, lk koku (or burn meter for more dmg/oki respectively). If they aren't too far away when they use the ball, you can walk up and do cr.hp xx mk teki, mk koku for pretty good dmg. VT1 you can pretty much always do cr.hp.

Young Zeku:

• Lp/EX ball: Run->Slide works. Technically a dash up cr.lp xx lp hosanto should work, but I have issues with it.

• Mp Ball: Run-> Slide works here too, but regular slide does 10 more dmg. Here you can do raw EX Hosanto into airgrab for decent damage, but dont waste EX on the airgrab. Distance doesnt really matter. Raw super works.

• Hp/VT1 Ball: Like with old Zeku you can walk up. If you are close, you can walk up and do st.mp -> st.hp target combo into finishers of your choice. If further away you have to settle for just st.hp into finishers. VT1 is even easier to punish.

Generally you can raw super after MP or HP, but as you can see there is most often better things to do.

Seeing which ball is being used is a bit more difficult to react to, but it comes with experience I suppose, he might do different noises? They are different speed so you should be able to react to that.

These punishes are for midscreen, if he has his back against the wall, you can typically do more to punish, I might type it out aswell later... Often you can do the MP punish on the LP ball, HP punish on MP ball etc, but not always. Sometimes even the HP punish on LP/Ex ball if really close.

The VT1 ball is always punishable as above regardless of the strength used on the ball. The VT1 roll is punishable on block, I usually do cr.lp (st lp, mp, hp, hk) target combo with Young, and I believe st.mp to lk teki, lk koku works as Old.

Notes on dashing up vs light balls, I'm garbage with dashing up after blocking (or hitting CCs) so there MIGHT be some possibilities of this, but if you fail it you eat a CC as Old Zeku, it works with Ryu who can dash+4f normal I believe, but Zekus forward dash is one frame slower than Ryus, so maybe it doesn't work. Young SHOULD work, but like I said, I'm crap at this.

I hope you all found this useful, all 4 of you Zeku mains out there!

Will they be avalible this years when cpt 2018 starts? I mean if i will be able to buy the old ones like guile cpt skin

New player here. Specifically how do you wiggle the stick around for Shoryuken into CA? I know how to DP xx CA when standing because after pressing forward it's just 2 QCF, but from a crouching position, after the cr.HP how do I do it? I can cr.HP xx DP easily but I don't see how to link the CA. I also don't see how the DP shortcut ↘ ↓↘ could help me here since it's not a QCF and wouldn't count for buffering the CA. Any video where hands are shown?

Nephew - Kolin.

I just bought a physical copy of the arcade edition yesterday. The game has 18gb worth of updates that I havent downloaded yet.

I decided to enter the dlc codes instead but both the Characters and Costume pack codes are invalid. Does it have anything to do with the update or should I replace mine?

Im worried since theres a lot of value in those 2 codes and if i take too long the store might not replace it.

I know that using HK Eagle Spike with Rashid is effective but I want to beat survival with Alex and I want to know how to do that. Should I be aggressive with his elbow slashes to get closer to them or should I be more defensive?
