I cannot wait another month for Urien. I need that psychotic, dapper ************ right now.
What's funny is I didn't even like Urien in SFIII (didn't much like SFIII period), but now I can't wait for him. It's amazing what a good design can do.

Also:
Artwork of Chun-Li's future alternate costumes will be designed by Akiman.

This is supposedly Juri's theme, as it plays on the official website when you select her like all of the other characters:
I really hope this isn't her actual theme...

By far the worst sounding in the game if that's her theme.
LMAO that theme is awful, and I'm the kinda guy who enjoys the Training Stage themes.
Maybe it just comes through poorly there, and the real theme will have much more power and sense of space. That's the main problem tbh, it just sounds so muted and flat.

Yeah, not really a fan of Juri's new theme. Speaking of character themes, which ones are your favorites?

Call me crazy, but I actually kinda like it. I'm a fan of anything that reminds me of bad goth night clubs, though.
My favorites are hands-down FANG's and Karin's. I don't think any other theme even comes close to being as good as those. Except for Alex's. But that's cheating, because SFIII's soundtrack is untouchable.

Ryu's and obviously RASHIDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO's.
I think my favorite character themes are:
Alex
R. Mika
Ken
If stage themes are included, my favorite theme is the High Roller Casino theme.
Juri's theme is without a doubt the worst, assuming the one I linked earlier is the one actually used in the game.
I mean, it's ok by itself, but it definitely does not go well with a fast-paced fight (especially with a character like Juri). What we heard is only a preview, so hopefully the rest of the song isn't as slow.

Definitely not my most favoured character theme so far.
Absolute garbage. Without a doubt, the worst theme in SFV, if not the entire Street Fighter series. I know I'm ranting here, but this sounds like someone spent an hour in autotune making this theme.
They better not mess up Crazy Chili Dog...

What did they change or add in the patch today? I didn't get to finish installing it to find out, but the update was 8.5 GB.
I'm pretty sure they just added Juri. My update was only 1.8 GB (unless you also had to download the cinematic story).
Speaking of Juri, how are you guys liking her so far?

I already had the story mode downloaded, so I have no idea why it took up so much space.

Did someone say Juri theme?
Seriously, it's like they spent all the budget on Balrog's theme lol.

I know everyone is talking about Juri because she just came out, but can any of you give me tips on how to fight Balrog? Whenever I fight him I feel like there is never any opening to attack him.

Wow, so you're this guy https://twitter.com/notBaf0/status/758276468635865088?lang=en
There might be others that could be more helpful, but I could try. Who do you use?
FallenHero

I use Ryu and I'm starting to use Necalli. I haven't fought a Balrog with Necalli yet, but I feel like I would be able to do better against him with Necalli.
PR Balrog (probably the best SFV Balrog player) recently made his own MU tier chart with Balrog. He says that Balrog beats both Ryu and Necalli. I'm not sure about Necalli, but I have heard from others such as Daigo that Balrog generally beats Ryu. But then again Balrog's still fairly new to the game so it probably isn't completely accurate.
Minato

Like Sari said, PR Balrog does think it is in Balrog's favor (although he's come to say he feels confident against shotos usually). First off, the simplest way to start off is to know what he can't get away with. Any dash straight or dash low special by Balrog is punishable unless Balrog uses EX. His most safe dash straight is LP version and is -4, which has to be pretty spaced well. As Ryu, use stLK to punish and special cancel into tatsu/hurricane kick probably. If Balrog does EX dash straight, it's plus on block, so be careful of pressing anything unless you're going to challenge him if you suspect he's not going to frame trap you. EX dash low is -2. Not punishable, but start your offense here. It's incredibly fast and you might be clipped by it, but shake it off in the match and don't let it bother you if you can.
Things like sweep and target combos are punishable as usual. Go into training mode and figure out your best punish. Be careful against pressing buttons after stHK. +3 on block iirc and definitely gets more frame advantage if he does it on your wakeup with a meaty. Remember Balrog has no crossup, so don't trick yourself into blocking wrong from his jump in. Balrog himself has ok/decent anti air options into good reward. jLK is your best bet as Ryu.
If anything confuses you like terms or whatever, just ask since I don't know how much you already know.
I mostly played this matchup as Ibuki, so I only went over stuff I know for sure .

Thanks man. Every time I fight Balrog I get my ass kicked and the most I can do against them is win a single round.

So I hop on to ranked match today and the first person I fight is a Balrog player. I actually managed to beat them despite the bad connection.

Yeah I can never react fast enough to block it.

I had to stop playing earlier today because I got so frustrated in a Ryu ditto that I was not able to enjoy any matches I had after it. I have a habit of getting really angry when I lose to overly aggressive Ryu players, because I feel like I should be beating them with how reckless they are.

So I was playing 3rd Strike with a friend and got the best KO on him.

Since this IS a SFV thread, do you think V would be improved if everyone could parry?

No, V would not be improved if it added parry. Lots of people don't understand that SF3 worked because the game was built around parries and made it super strong to where it has active use. You're not going to want it in a game that has 8 frame of lag anyways.
I think I've hit a dead end.
No matter how hard I try, I can never get past bronze rank as Alex. Just a few days ago, I went from 1,300 to 1,700 LP, only to go back to 1,200 LP. It seems like every time I play, I always encounter a laggy Ryu/Ken from Brazil that just wipes my LP clean. I've watched just about every Alex tech video and they don't help much when dealing with these players. I wish I could record my gameplay to show what I'm doing wrong, but I can't since I don't have the PS4 version. I honestly don't know what to do at this point.

Don't play people from Brazil then? Set your connection preference to a better connection to avoid being paired up from people out of the country. If you're playing on PC, you can just use whatever video capturing software to record your matches.

Every character theme is so good, the only one's I don't like are Bison's, Necalli's, and Juri's. I think Guile, Karin, and F.A.N.G are all competing for top spot.

I wish there were better ways to grind for fight money than just survival mode. Grinding for levels in ranked takes an eternity and the AI on hard mode in survival is too difficult for me after about 20 stages.
MarioMeteor

They still haven't fixed Survival? I finished it on Hard with Bison and never touched it again.
Has anyone else just completely lost interest in SFV? I haven't yet, though I'm getting really close. There are still so many problems with the game that haven't even been fixed yet (true RQ penalty, faults with online, basically no way to earn fight money outside of 1 time events). On top of this, we have to wait until the end of September for Urien who should have been released late August/early September.

I have not played it in like a month, because I got bored of just playing ranked and losing over and over. My PS+ subscription also expired a few weeks ago, so I can't even play online SFV right now even if I wanted to. Some might disagree with me, but I REALLY hope they release a Super SFV so that they can add more to the game and fix a lot of the major flaws with the game.
