people are going to learn what's unsafe and block gimmicks easily after a while. offense will be ok in the long run I think.

And players will have better pressures strings, better mix ups, better combos and better stun set ups. That reasoning works both ways.

After playing a bit of BBCPE I just realized how much I miss its lobby system. GGXrd's lobby system is a complete downgrade in my opinion.

In GGXrd you have to jump from 8 person lobby to 8 person lobby hoping that there's an available spot and you don't have to wait.

With BBCP's lobby system it's setup like an arcade that can hold up to 64 people with tons of arcade cabs littered around the room. So I can just join and easily find an empty cab spot to play someone on, no waiting for other people to finish and there's no host to mess up other people's games when they disconnect or leave the room.



Arcana Heart definitely has some unique ideas. I only spent a short while with the game but the arcana card system was really cool along with the Homing Dash.

Damn 64 people for one lobby? That's pretty dope!

Ultimax has the arcade styled lobby that BB has and a more traditional styled lobby with a host and where multiple people can fight at the same time. Both really simple and great to use depending on the circumstances.

It's weird that they made Chun's hands and feet so big. They really don't need to be.

There were mods for SF4 that added the right proportions
I expect the PC version to feature similar mods

I liked one mod where they made Ken and Ryu look older in their 30s. They even had beards

I had a feeling that my time tonight was going to be better-spent learning about KOF2002UM and exploring May Lee combos than it would fighting with the SFV beta and its 21007 errors. Seeing as I'm still not hearing about any Canadians getting in, I'm glad I went with my hunch.

Hopefully they let us into the "North American beta" tomorrow!

Doing those stance cancels constantly in a block string... ugh.
 
Ah man. Why did I switch to pad right before I wound up matched to Art? You son of a bitch! I'll get you!

Edit - AND my connection got bodied going back to training mode. Fuck you Arturo!
 
I unleashed the full fury of Bison for the first time. Felt incredible.

Edit: also, Wallach: VEX Blast x VEX Head Stomp is surprisingly good. Freaks people out to have a fireball and a teleport attack coming at the same time.

I think Bison is pretty mediocre outside of V-Trigger, but it is intentional. He basically has his own personal X-Factor, and if he touches you at all you take 500 damage and die. Your job in the first half is to not fall too far behind.
 
So I got like 5 games in earlier and yea the netcode feels nice, not entirely sure though since obviously havent had a huge amt of time to spend w/ it. I had this one ryu player war p around the screen so Im assuming their using some sort of rollback netcode but idk how itll pan out in the end. It was pretty janky in terms of visuals but still felt playable so idk
 
Story stuff? don't know what it means... Nash';s winquote against himself:

"If you are HIS servant, you are just as guilty. Prepare to repent."
 
I'm like super sure there's some hybrid delay / rollback thing going on. Like at the start of the match there's sometimes a weird delay (possibly while it fiddles with the rollback) and then it starts doing rollback lag.
