Viscant Examines More Character Strengths and Weaknesses in Street Fighter V

In the previous installments of his Hit the Ground Running blog series, BROKENTIER’s Jay “Viscant” Snyder went over half of Street Fighter V’s starting cast. Now, he’s ready to cover the remaining members of the cast – Vega, R. Mika, Rashid, Karin, Zangief, Laura, and F.A.N.G.

As with earlier entries, most of what Viscant discusses involves how the characters have evolved over the course of the beta.

With Vega, Viscant notes how Capcom has had a tough time trying to balance out his two stances. Early on, it seemed that players preferred his claw-less stance, with many simply choosing to forego his other stance altogether. As such, he notes how most of Capcom’s changes to the character since the second beta have been to make the claw stance stronger. Even with changes that affect both stances, the claw stance ended up benefiting more.

Speaking of balancing out two different versions of a character, Viscant also talks about how Karin has two different versions in the game – a footsies oriented version and a shenanigans oriented one. This isn’t due to any character-specific mechanic, but rather because of how she can be played in two different styles. That said, he also notes how he feels that people seem to perceive her shenanigans as stronger while actually being the weaker of the two.

For more on what Viscant thinks on these and other characters, head on over to BROKENTIER by following the link below.

Here’s How to Get Your Legacy Controller Working in Street Fighter V

As we’re sure you’ve heard a million times by now, Street Fighter V is live! Exciting! Despite ongoing server issues, the community finally has a chance to come together and play.

It’s a sad truth, but transitioning to PlayStation 4 can come with some with some financial hits apart from just buying the console. But if you’re planning on using a legacy controller to mitigate some of this cost, the steps to getting your arcade stick working can be a little confusing. Never fear! Shoryuken is here to help you out.

First off, navigate to Options on the main menu.

Then head to Other Settings.

Next, select the option titled P1 Legacy Controller Authentication.

At this point, you’ll want to plug in your legacy device if you haven’t already.

Once you’ve done all that, Street Fighter V will automatically detect your controller, and you should be greeted by this message. Hit close and have fun!

Unfortunately, you’re going to need a DualShock 4 for each legacy device you plan on using, as disconnecting the controller used to authenticate will diconnect the older arcade stick or pad.

As for PC, Street Fighter V natively supports a number of devices, but those without Xinput functionality have been left in the dust until a future patch. Bafael recently put together a great video showing how to get controllers of this nature working.

Editor’s note: We were recently informed that this workaround has the potential to cause input lag, so your mileage may vary.

Street Fighter V is now available on PlayStation 4 and PC. We hope these guides help!
