That doesn't make the game not be a footsie heavy game
You're right about that, I lost the context. However I still have a valid point about that.
V-trigger as a resource is perfectly fine you get a bunch for getting hit similar to ultra gauge or you can gain it with v-skill. Spend it on the V-trigger active for a boost, cancel, and combo extension, or on V-reversals
In one of your messages you claimed it is scrubby to fish for shoryus and back out with FADC. How is it not scrubby to fish sweep and FADC/V-Trigger activate out of it?
As for your main point, you don't get v-meter by being aggressive. You get beaten or take white damage and build it up. This indirectly favours the defensive play so badly.
Special moves also should not chip KO and neither should EX moves and they don't they're cheap in cost for resources so doing that is just bad. I'd prefer if CAs didn't but the fact that you saved full bars to do it and will have none at the start of next round makes it reasonable.
Wait, does Capcom force people to play only one round in SF V? Isn't there three and five round modes? Did I miss something?
Specials chipping out leads to so much more YOLO specials just to go for the chip victory even when it isn't safe on the block.
Not if you have an invincible CA cancellable special.
You keep throwing this around like the one at 1HP is the only one who will get desperate to win and that's not the case. This forces both sides to play the game neither one can just try any bullshit without a large chance of being punished for it.
I'm specifically speaking for myself, not for anyone else. In SF4 I hated people who wake up ultra'd etc. Now people have an incentive and motive to do so. 1 HP health leads to scrubbism.
I sure as hell will respect, block and will try to tech. But every SF5 match looks like will reek of BJ Unchained v Bonchan. I'm an elitist, perfectibilitist person. If someone played respectfully and normally, he has to play like that when he has 1 health left.
If you fucking get desperate trying to get the KO then you deserved to get your ass beat by them for playing it safer.
They're not playing it safer. They rest their back on Capcom's coding/designer monkeys. As I've told you before, if you have 39 health and block an HP Shoryu, you're dead. PERIOD.
