I see you ain't play SF3 the projectile was easily neutralized in that game. As for 4 the projectile game made watching it boring. If you're banking on Sagat to make love SFV don't. It'll be Sagat but with new tools and I guarantee you, his game will be more heavily focused around Muay Thai instead of shoto tactics.
Each SF game has always had its own identity and system. SFV is rush down and quicker matches fo sho and if you ain't rocking with it now you never will. Don't take this the wrong way but maybe you should check out KOF or Guilty Gear.
Ps. Trust me Laura has to work to get in.
Laura? The one that has that screen gulping shoulder barge move that gets her right up on you and can go right through projectiles? Nah man.
