The pace of #SFV is fantastic, like a Ken-Ken match in 3S. Damage is huge, links easy, stun danger constant, footsies complex, zoning viable

Ryu is awesome, he feels like a really good 3S Ryu. Big damage, big stun, good buttons, good fireballs, good uppercuts. He's kinda scary

Parry is nice but can be canceled only into parry, so, can't parry then block/dp/etc, must wait till parry recovers or parry again

Parry recovery is p short though of course. But for example, I did cr lk xx dp & james parried my cr lk & tried to dp, my dp came out first
