i'm the scrubbiest of scrubs, but i felt like i had a chance in almost every round i played because the neutral game is so important in SFV.

the game's pace is old school. between ST and 3S. Super Turbo damage and fast meter building with 3S whiff punishment.

the v-system gives every character a unique rhythm, though. matches begin with a focus on reads and defense, and once somebody opens up it's all rushdown.

can't wait for the beta to drop. really thinking about hitting up Magic Mountain this year, because SFV and Six Flags got some preview deal going on.
