Street Fighter V |OT| No Options to Select

I'm still surprised that having the season pass doesn't auto-unlock all the main roster's colors. But I guess that gives me more of a reason to grind through survival, I guess.

So it's pretty clear they want people to pay for the season pass, no surprise. So that would be $90 for the same amount of content that probably should be in the $60 package. And while you can earn most of that content for free, you have to do some really un-fun things to do it. A lot.

The value of something is pretty relative. I'm sure plenty of people are content with how things are because that's all they cared about. But I'm pretty sure they are the minority. There's a lot of people blaming the consumer for dissatisfaction with the product. When this many people are upset, though, i think it's safe to say the product and the company who made it are at fault.

How can SF V and MK X both offer $60 worth of content? Even with SFV's revealed roadmap the two don't compare. The only thing SF V has over MK X is better gameplay, but that doesn't excuse the sorry package.

And please understand, I'm not talking about server problems. This game needed another 6 months, maybe even a year. This is corporate greed taking advantage of its fandom. They could have let USFIV ride another year on the circuit and at Evo, but they muscled out USFIV and rushed out SFV to kickstart a new revenue stream, knowing the fandom and brand-awareness would be enough to sell copies. I bought it, too. That hype train is power. I'm going to play, and I'm going to have fun. But I'm not satisfied and I'm not going to be an apologist. I like Street Fighter and unfortunately I'll have to settle.

C'mon now.
 
God damn... I just want to win one match... Just one! But it seems like everyone is already at such a high skill level. At least higher than me. Most of my attacks are seemingly ignored (like them blocking from ground blocks literally every attack for some reason) and most of my blocks do nothing as well.

It's probably not that your blocks do nothing so much as you are in the wrong position trying to block. I think it's something like crouching block does not block a jumping attack and stuff like that.
 
It's just not meant to be...

So fucking frustrating tonight, constant connections and then disconnect. This shit better be fixed by the time I wake up.

I finally hit all 9 hits of st mp, cr mk xx sbk.

But cr hp xx legs, cr lp xx sbk is just as maddening.

I'm usually good at doing charge combos but sbk in this game is ridiculous. Help? I made a video.

with that combo you have plenty of time to get your charge in compared to st mp xx cr mk xx sbk. just practice getting the lp after lightning legs. the windows isn't as small as it was previously

Might not have been... The network is awful.
I just got disconnected from a game I was losing, I certainly didn't pull the plug. I think it's day one woes.

Yea right now this game is unplayable online for me. No network lag, but if you don't have 30sec matches, you will DC before you finish them.

Game might be ready for online play sometime next week.

At least you are getting matches... This is the first BETA for me all over again...

I only got two matches the whole night, at least I won the first, the second match disconnected halfway through. The rest was me playing single player modes and getting kicked out then as well. So frustrating, I know I can play offline but why bother if I'm not earning some of that FM?
 
I actually dig most of the story mode art now that I've gotten a chance to play through it a bit.

This game had to be out by the time the Pro Tour started. They had obligations toward these events. They shipped a functionally complete local versus game so that that could be taken care of, and are patching in the rest of the game for free as time goes on.

That's not going to be worth the $60 asking price for everyone, especially when core online functions are broken, but it wouldn't hurt to dial back the hyperbole and stop presuming the worst.
 
I am getting disconnected way too frequently now. Going to take a break for a bit until they sort out the server issues.

Otherwise, the gameplay is rock solid. I will probably main Cammy ( again ), and she's a blast to play.

I'll keep trying. I'm honestly too tired at this point. But it's frustrating because I swear I'm timing that one right. I mean, I'm holding it for a long time but it doesn't combo. Only gets me five hits.
 
Kalentan said:
Like they kept holding down on the stick and simply using attacks from that position and just did that over and over and even if I blocked while down as well, they simply broke through my block.

That's...not spamming. Are you sure you're blocking correctly? It's down back, not down.

In SF, crouch block is the default block because back block pushes you back, consuming precious space.

Are you using back down crouch block or just down to crouch.
 
Cannot for the life of me figure out what's causing me so much trouble getting the game to start. Nothing loads after the Capcom logo fades out.

Refund denied 'cause I gifted a beta key to a friend >.>

Had the same problem, asked my friends to refound their Beta Keys and then it went though smoothly

Pre-ordered the game on Steam for 60€ but fuck that, 32€ through another shop seemed more than appropriate for what we got on D1

Remember, the game is recording all of your matches after you have them. Feel free to post your Fighter ID so some other people can see how you're doing & give you advice.
 
Kalentan said:
I'm probably just phrasing it wrong but when I say crouch, I mean like, down stance. Like holding down the stick and back so you block while close to the ground.

She can only attack you if you stop blocking, or if she hits you with an overhead (hers is actually pretty slow, you can react to it by changing from crouch block to standing block), grab, or a cross-up jumping attack
 
Is anyone else using a PS3 stick? My SF4 TE is stuck in turbo mode, has input lag, and sometimes some buttons flat out don't register.

I just ordered an HRAP V. This sucks.
 
So they didn't even bother changing the encryption to something new.... still the same key from 2 betas ago. Content of the game is broken up into 54 paks now... will take some time looking through randomly named stuff. There seems to be folders for the DLC characters- but no character models in them

Nothing screaming "look at me!" like the story mode alts in the last beta
