For cross-ups you basically need to learn the ranges for all characters. Bison has a setup where you can choose to go for J.HP and it hits front or J.MK and it's cross-up, those are pure 50/50 but luckily I don't think there's too many of those in SFV.

Frame data is also important and very easy to abuse against people who are unaware. Easy way is to just look some data sheet but I think it's better to first learn frame data through experience. For example (not 100% sure but should be possible) with Bison I can do meaty Hell Attack on wake-up (let's assume opponent blocks), then C.LP--->C.MP x Ex-Scissors---->C.LP---->LP-Blast x V-Trigger---->C.MP x Ex-HS--->C.LP---->C.MP x LK.Scissors x Ex-Inferno---->C.MP x HP-Blast. There is frame traps for days in that string. You can interrupt that string with 3 frame attack (will trade) or with invincible reversal but it's very risky. Players who don't know frame data or generally which moves are safe or not cannot understand at all what's going on in that string and when they press a button or try to jump away they get hit. Skilled players know when not to press buttons but then you can just cut short that string and do a cross-up or dash forward throw unexpectedly and then it's down to reactions.

I've always felt it's better to do by learning.  You can read the frame data, etc, but you don't really learn it unless you feel it out.  Same with combos.  I remember I figured out a way to chain C. Viper's seismic hammer into her HP thunder knuckle.  I've never seen anyone do that combo.  The only thing you do need help with, is figuring out which normals connect to which normals.  But then I feel they should return back to the Third Strike style of combos being programmed into characters.

I had some free time and I watched some of your replays, it is realy intertaining to watch other poeple play, everyone with his own fighting techniques, it is surely an amazing feature Capcom did put there.

I m not interested on buying Alex, I will wait for Ibuki, and I will get Juri if her gamplay is well made.

Yes learning through experience is first priority and accurate frame data is useful for more advanced set-ups and finding best ways to counter and punish individual normals. The 3-frame input buffer makes finding those comboable normals a lot easier in SFV compared to SFIV but some juggle properties are still very tough to find.

That was.....

...well

a...wild brawl

I would have chosen RQ instead of that face...

Depends, experimentation is the best thing to do.  Part of the problem with Street Fighter 4 is that the few people figured out combos (Probably without frame data I might add), and everyone just copied it.  So you see players playing characters the same way.  Except for the Japanese players, but they experiment with lots of characters.  So there's a lot more variety and they just figured things out.  Which reading frame data won't give you.  Plus it's a lot harder to pull off combos during a fight, which is why most combos in the challenges aren't really used at pro level.  Experimentation, adaptability and experience > than frame data.  Though, I'll agree that frame data isn't completely useless and will let you know what normals can connect.  But you can figure that out with experimentation.

40 matches 4 wins has me almost back in the rookie league rank all the way from 1200lp, just as I was about to get my 5th win a got a rage quitter haha! I was like nooooooooooooo, Whhhhy! :D
