Oro. He's awesome for playing lame, has a big stun bar, air throw, and some nasty combos.

>>6414237
His design is also pretty cool

>>6414237
Looks like Homer Simpson

>>6414169
Zangief and Chun Li

>>6414252
He seems like an extreme version of the old master trope. If there's another Vs game, I really need Oro to make it in with at least tengu stones.

>>6414256
Kek

>>6414169
Dan and Sagat making sweet eternal love.

Gameplay-wise, I like playing Balrog in SSF2T and Ryu in 3rd strike.

>>6414298
UPPERCUT!

Karin.
Dudley.
Guile.
And Black Widow from Slammasters 2

Urien's the best. His combos and
Aegis setups are the coolest

>>6414169
You just posted him, with his best design too
Later games make Sagat too bulky, he is supposed to be a relatively slim, tall guy who fights on his toes

>>6414265
Kek what a fucking dickhead

>>6414169
Booky, but Sakura is a close second after I started playing her in V

>>6414427
You got to love high level ST.

>>6414265
>Chun-Li's animations
She has the perfect body.

>>6414693
Old fighting games aren't fun to play seriously. It's like everything is on a knife's edge and it could all go wrong in an instant. I prefer fighting games where you're allowed some flexibility in how you play.

Dhalsim's cute waifu

Maybe I'm boring but the simplicity and purity of it is hard to top for me.

Forever Ken

My favorite Street Fighter character never came back. Ever since he died heroically crashing that semi truck into Bison.

>>6414860
Isn't that dude a faggot? Like canonically, not a fanfag like Zangief

>>6414867
I've read this many times but I don't think I ever found a source.
I think it might be because some people associate the word "Sodom" with gay anal sex, or something like that, and the fact he hangs out with Poison maybe (even though we all know now that Poison was designed as a DNA XX human being, and considered a biological woman by her own designers, inb4 sevenleaf)

>>6414421
SFV is my favorite Sagat yet. Still jacked, but without the absurd bulk that he had in Alpha and IV.

>>6414867
You're thinking of Eagle from SF1/A3Max maybe? He's the only canon gay SF character that I'm aware of

>>6414169
Female? Makoto. Male? Makoto. Alex.

>>6414860
He's in SFV in the stage background, so I guess as far as Capcom cares he's still alive.

This is the guy Sagat is based on btw.

>>6414693
post Daigo parry's webm

>>6414742
Nah, ST's bullshit is particularly one of the reasons people still love it.

>>6414256
more like hommer sampson

>>6414742
>It's like everything is on a knife's edge and it could all go wrong in an instant.
That's what makes them good

Ken

>>6414169
Guy, but if he doesn't count, then Chun-Li

I don't know why, but i always have a fetish for Juni: she's my secret waifu, and the reason tjat nowadays i love Short Haired and Red-Head girls.
As good female charcters, Ingrid is a good option
As male characters, Sodom and Dudley

>>6414169
Favorite, but not main until post /vr/ titles

Chun Li

Rainbow Mika! She was pretty garbage in Alpha 3 but her supers were cool. The new game made her way better.

>>6415283

>>6414427
Don't feel bad for John Choi, his most famous loss in an Evo final was to Vega wall drop spam. That's just how 2X is.

>>6414421
That is exactly what I was thinking too. In the later game he should've been slim and muscular, but not that bulky, it doesn't really fit the Muay Thai style

>>6415349
I've beaten off to this character way more than Chun li

>>6414265
Behold the deepest example of the world's greatest competitive video game genre

Q because he has autism

>>6414919
>5'9

>>6415696
a fellow patrician, I see

>>6414169
unironically akuma. He has great jumpins

Lilith/Morrigan Aensland. SF is boring as fuck

Guile

Keeping it with one character for each series.
SF: Sagat
SF2: Guile
Alpha: Karin
SF3: Q
SF4: err... Juri, I guess (they all suck)
SF5: Menat

>>6414169
Ryu
Zangief
Fei Long
Guile

Zangief. Always Zangief.

You know she's the only correct answer.

>>6414169
Not Faget

>>6414693

is this even blockable? i get that it's a 50/50 but it seems like no one ever guesses right

>>6419085
It's hard, but the first two times he was also mashing on wakeup, see "reversal attack"

Can no one here use charge characters? I find them easier than quarter circlers.

>>6419085
What some players will try to do instead of blocking is to upper that shit, but you have to do it perfectly and there's also a mental element to it because the Vega player doesn't have to actually come down on top of you, he can run away. So you have to visually confirm he's coming in and then upper.

other picks would be alex, sakura, and q

>>6419335
Guile is my nigga, but I hate Charlie and Remy.

>>6419335
No, they're too hard for me. It's just another layer of micromanagement and timing to have to deal with.

>>6414237
post his old penis

>>6414530
she has a nice butt too

>>6419085
Flying Barcelona is always a weird attack, it's either stupid as fuck or completely useless, no inbetween.

>>6414169
probably cammy or claw. what about you anon?

I want to date Sakura!

>>6414742
You're not wrong. If SF2 didn't exist and then ST was released today, no one would play it.

>>6415696
It is a cardinal sin not to have sacrificed the majority of your seed to the holy trinity of Chun-Li, Tifa Lockheart and Lara Croft.

>>6419335
Pretty sure back in the day people considered charge characters easier since the input timing was so strict. When it comes to older games I usually pick a charge character because fuck tryin to hit a fuckin quarter circle perfectly just to get a regular move.

>>6425263
>Tifa

No, but the other two, yes. They were my first video game faps.

>>6414265
Just jump on the wall...

>>6414169
Sagat Dhalsim Elena Cody.

>>6425268
Can't speak for how it was in the arcade days when nobody knew or was good at the inputs, but now it's much easier to play motion characters. When someone's getting right in your face a point blank fireball to get them to back off is a big help. Doesn't work when you have to charge for 1.5 seconds and by the time you're done they've already got you on the ground.

>>6426067
If someone's right in your face, wouldn't a crouching medium punch, a grab or a quick jab be better than a fireball? Over-relying on specials makes it harder to learn normal attacks in-depth.

>>6426169
Yes, that's true, but maybe an anti-air DP would've been a better example. I don't know, I just feel like charge characters require a different level of mastery since there's that extra aspect of management in knowing when your charge is done or not in addition to everything else going on.

>>6423427
You can say that about anything. You think anyone would polay SMB1 if it were released today? Or Doom? Or Final Fantasy 1?

>>6426237
Yes, all those games are great and people still find them for the first time now and end up enjoying them.

>>6426237
Not sure about FF1, but SMB and Doom, definitely.

>>6414169

Dan, unironically

>>6414169

>>6414237
I love his Genki Dama and that other super where he lifts you into the sky for a solid 3 seconds

>>6423427
You are wrong. ST still has a competitive community and a good portion of the players are younger. Like literally born too late to have played it in arcades. They got hooked on fightcade or the HD remix. ST is a very unique, extremely lethal game not only within SF but fighting games in general. Its only major flaw is the degree to which it's unbalanced, far moreso than most fighting games these days.

>>6427291
I can vouch for this 20 here and picked it up last year, it's pretty fun even if bullshit.

>>6423427
The entire metagame rules in Evo and its descendants are all from balancing around ST's quirks. The reason it's double elimination? The reason sets are 2/3 at the minimum? The reason the loser can switch characters but the winner can't? 100% because of 2. ST's one big actual problem (which was significantly improved compared to HF) is character matchups that are deeply positive or negative.
Everything else that was "wrong" with WW and up got integrated into the game as features, like everything to remotely due with canceling.

>>6428105
>the loser can switch characters but the winner can't

Yeah why is this?

>>6428221
To give the loser a bit of a chance to adapt. Ever played against a guy that switches characters every game and you can't keep up with the constant change of style?

LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE

>>6429840
I don't know how people do this stuff. Maybe in training, okay, but in the heat of a real battle idk how they can stay so calm enough to pull this kind of timing off.

>>6427291
Snake Eyez is a damn good ST player and he got started on HDR then moved backwards to ST. AND he plays on a pad.

>>6428221
Because that's what it's like in vs mode. Winner stays on with his current character/team.

>>6430084
You're supposed to practice to the point that your muscle memory takes over when your eyes see the opportunity.

>>6430117
Yeah I know but in a real battle my hands go numb and I screw it up even though I can do it literally with my eyes closed in practice

>>6430120
Only way is to keep playing people until you get over it. It goes away.

>>6414169
M. Bison,
but i wish he had been called balrog and not the boxer, mix up in translation.
i actually sometimes wish Bison had been called Psycho.
psycho crusher, etc.

thanks for reading my blog.

>>6430120
That's just nerves. You've got the inputs down but you aren't pressure tested yet. The best way to overcome that is just to play against real players a whole lot. Maybe even focus on those weak parts of your game to the extent that you lose matches. If you care too much about winning you risk becoming very narrow.

>>6430157
M.Bison is actually Vega, not Balrog

>>6430157
Balrog was claw though. In Japan dictator is called Vega. M. bison is a really fucking weird name for the character but I do think I prefer it to Vega.

>>6429840
It's extremely easy, even when you have to combo into it. Just practice.
>>6430084
Honestly getting good at FADC was harder for me than double somersault. Just practice more

>>6430161
>focus on those weak parts of your game to the extent that you lose matches.

Don't worry, that's happening. I'm playing SFV and trying to do a certain DP punish combo and in the excitement of seeing my opportunity mess it up 2/3 of the time. But I'll keep doing it, I want to learn it.

>>6429840
I hate those triangle motion supers, and flash kick into the bfbf supers are hard too

>>6429840
No one show this man SNK inputs

>>6430228
Show me SNK inputs. I'm ready for my head to explode.

>>6430293

>>6430228
fuck your SNK inputs

>>6430316
QCF/B and HCF/B are nothing compared to <- ->, because it's too easy to accidentally do a HCF when you're trying to go from <- to ->

>>6430316
Heh...I'm leaving this thread now

>>6430293
kusaregedo's WFT in samsho 5 is the most egregious motion I can think of

698741258+CD

>>6430335
I never found back forward all that hard to execute. The hardest thing about charge characters is making it a habit to be charging at all times. Tbf pretzel input isn't that hard either but it certainly looks daunting.

>>6430171
why would you go on the internet, just to lie? (pic related.)

>>6430173
..... is everyone here a retard or what? The boxer was called "M. Bison" to sound like "M. Tyson" aka Mike Tyson, the biggest boxer in the world at the time the game came out (early 90s).

some weird mix up in translation meant the boxer in english release got called Balrog and the supervillian dude got called M. Bison.

>retard
>zoomer
>troll
Own up. Which one are you?

>>6430367
Dictator = Vega in Japan, M.Bison in USA
Boxer = M.Bison in Japan, Balrog in USA
Claw = Balrog in Japan, Vega in USA

>>6430367
Not sure why you've got a stick up your ass. The competitive community often refers to the characters as Claw, Boxer, and Dictator for the sake of clarity. What that anon said is right, "Vega" aka dictator is called that in Japan. If you turn on Japanese voices in SFV they still call him Vega. The original post was claiming that dictator was supposed to be Balrog rather than M. Bison which was never the case.

>>6430367
>Maiku Baison
>Mike Bison
>but not the same Mike who is also a black guy boxer from SF1

Really shits me they don't just say it's the same dude.

>>6414169
The Chad Thai Guy

>>6430191
2bh it's better to be consistent even if it does less damage. Find an easier combo you can do reliably for now. You can do the more optimal but harder combos later, but still practice them in training.

>>6430183
>Honestly getting good at FADC
For me it was everytime how you grab in Street Fighter changed. It took me forever to clear out ST muscle memory to throw/tech in the Alpha games and it took me for fucking ever to naturally throw/tech in 3S.

>>6414169
Definitely Cammy
