'In short, you're not in control of your game at 100%' Xian shares his concerns on the state of Street Fighter 5 in his Reddit AMA

As with any AMA the questions ranged from the goofier things people asked just to have a little fun, to really picking Xian's brain about his thoughts on Street Fighter 5. When he was asked about how he felt about the game feels currently, Xian really broke things down. According to him, some of the more major issues he has with the game lead to players having less control over consistent play.
As it stands, Xian feels that the input lag and the state of the footsie game could use some tweaks. "A mix between dash and jump can be really had to react to, so people don't enjoy the way they lose now," he says, before going on to state that the game feels imprecise, leading players to wonder whether they lost because they guessed wrong, or if they were just hitting the buttons too late. "In short, you're NOT in control of your game at 100%."
"There's a difference between complaining and stating the problems which discourage a lot of players from playing the game...Capcom did not have a lot of time to achieve what they probably intended, and the metagame was made to make the game more dynamic," Xian says.
Xian also spoke on character choice, improving as a player, and much more. If you want to check out the full AMA for yourself, head over to Reddit.
