I'm maining Karin at the moment. I choose mains based on A) sexiness and B) how much i feel like they're play style matches mine at the time. I've been with her for 3 or 4 months, before she was nerfed into oblivion i was playing Chun. I usually go for rush down characters with lots of ranged normals

Second longest reach and/or longest reach that still maintains fairly standard movement options.

Longest reach pickers are universally depressed degenerate stoners. Just look at Sim mains.

Absolutely not. This game has cross play so you'll always have someone to fight against, still lots of beginners. Game is supposed to be supported through 2020 anyway.

I like characters whose normals are good for zoning, and if I have a go-to button to harass people with. Bonus points if it's a cute animu grill.
>>
>>386985909

SFV has arguably the lowest barrier to entry for fightan, even less than SFIV had.

For the thread, I mained Dudley in 3S and IV, Martial Law in Tekken, Stryker in MK9 and Nemesis/Frank/Hulk in UMvC3. I don't really have a strategy, I just fuck around until I find characters I like.

Cute girl > can style on people with/requires skill > no rekkas > do my friends pick her?

This is how i choose my main

Cute girl? Check
Is she hard to play well? Does she look cool when comboing? Check
Does she have rekkas? Fuck those unga shit inputs
None of my friends play her? No?

Time to learn how to play em
>>
When i first started playing fighting games I started learning M. Bison because of badass dictator man. I also thought learning to play charge characters would make me feel intellectually superior to my friends. Nowadays I tend towards charge characters with good normals and a sorta of poking/reactive playstyle
>>
I main Ryu because I'm new to fighting games and he seems like a simple, game mechanic reliant fighter. Good for beginners.
>>
Well, in Street Fighter, I main Ryu in every game because Ryu is my favorite character, and Ryu is my favorite character because as a kid when I played SSF2 the first time, I thought he was the coolest looking character. I still play him to this because he's still my favorite and out of character loyalty.

If I were playing a completely new game where I knew none of the characters, it'd come down to who I thought looked cool and who's play style matched mine the best.
>>
>>386986894
he is. learning him will teach you how to play as a lot of other characters, too

If it's based on an exisiting IP or group of IPs, I'll generally go for the characrers I really like in the source material. This applies to guest characters too, like that in Soul Calibur & more recently, Tekken.
If the characters are all original, I usually go for design and story elements I find appealing in the character.
Gameplay almost always comes second because I make that character I want to learn work.

All comes down to how they feel to play and if it feels natural to me or not. If it's someone more difficult and I like the design enough, I'll probably main them. Visuals matter a lot too but in the end, I tend to play a lot more guys than girls. If there was a female Hyde, I'd play her.

SFV is the only fighting game with an alive online playerbase. it's also the easiest to get into, and has the most "classic 2D fighting game" gameplay.

GG is a lot more niche, with highly specific gameplay (arcsys style air dasher) and a lot harder to learn.

Cool design coupled with good neutral game. Also i usually pocket 1 of the grapplers of a game out of nostalgia since my first mains were grapplers.

Bison/Ryu in SF games with THawk when available.
In GG i use Ky and sub Faust/Kum and can somewhat use Pot/alittle Sol
In KOF i use King Terry Geese.

lariat through them.
armor them with your v-skill.
headbutt them for meter.
jump over them.
block them.

>Seems like they can fireball and then anti-air me before I hit the ground.
then you are jumping too predictably

>>386996225
but its true. maybe tekken too, but everything else is pretty much dead.
and no, a dozen neets hanging out in some shitty discord to play obscure kusoges isnt an alive playerbase.

I tend to go more towards speedy characters with plenty of rush-down capability and combo possibilty. Bonus points if they offer teleports or ranged attacks.

Don't speak if you have no clue what you are actually talking about anon. I have just spent the last 4 hours getting constant matches between Tekken 7 and SFIV on PS4. Why bother making statements about things you are unsure of?

I've put 66 hours into SFV so far, most of that Ryu with some Nash. Trying to git gud and learn fundamentals, haven't really figured out who my main will be but so far I like Shotos and suck at charge characters and grapplers.

guy was asking about getting sfv on steam so hes obviously not on ps4

and i dont know the numbers on ps4, but on PC most fighting games are just dead. SFV is only playable because it has crossplay with the PS4, otherwise that would be dead too.

I main Karin & Akuma. Almost have enough for Ibuki, which I like what I see at least.
I usually pick the character I want to play based on their personality. Karin is an elitist. Akuma wants to surpass the gods. Karin is modest and has great fighting spirit. Akuma has an insatiable lust for battle but is fair to the effect of honor.
A fair bit of this is me projecting or whatever.
I'm also more inclined to want to learn the most difficult to use characters. That's usually where I'll start.
I am not fond of charge characters.
Half circles and quarter circles with fast mobility options and combos. I love Karin's v trigger.

Not necessarily a grappler, but the hand-to-hand fighters that have no thrills, no projectiles, just muscle, grit, fists, and usually a badass stomp attack.

No character has ever gotten it more right than Polymar from Tatsunoko vs Capcom. Playing that bastard is like a digital orgasm for me.

Solid movement options, big normals, not too heavy execution. Swoops are a plus

Design above all else, but gameplaywise something as described by >>386985841 which is why I use Faust and Chun Li. From appearance Dudley was my first choice when I played USFIV but he's too combo heavy for me.
