so my friend just told me that Vega's story mode is like 3 one round fights?? Please don't tell me this stuff is true?

he said he couldn't believe it

It's true lol

Not right now. She was bundled in with digital versions, there was no separate code or anything. If you wanted her/all of them you would have needed to go digital then bum/buy codes for the other characters since those all came with physical versions. I can't imagine all of the pre-order outfits won't be up in the shop at some point later this year or something though.

Yeah Capcom aren't going to leave that potential money go to waste, putting down zeny on long flowing hair battle cammy day 1 when it hits the shops.

You get THREE one round fights?

Gief only gets 2!

 

[The Elite]

As simple as it is, I love the character story mode so far.

I pre-ordered the game digitally from PSN, how do I unlock Chun Li's costume?

It was already available in game for me.

 

[Marvel]

Ugh, everytime I win convincingly it fails to send results to the server. Don't think I got the LP either.

;_;

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Any way to get the Chun Li costume without digitally preordering? Got the Ryu one with my steelbox but I can't even find Chun li codes on ebay

No. Maybe they'll sell it as DLC down the line but it's included with the game for pre-orders so there's no code.

 

[Guymelef]

No, it doesn't show up there. Just fire up the game and pick Ryu, the costume will be there. Somehow my Chun-Li alt is listed on PS Services/Licenses, not Library, I just played the game and she was there.

Spoiler

I envy your Hot Ryu.

By playing the survival courses.

Ok, I can see it on services.
Will wait to 1.01 update before alarm.

 

[ShogunDarius]

Servers stable yet?

 

[BiggNife]

Character story mode is traaaaash

I timed how long Ken's story mode takes without skipping any cutscenes

5 minutes 42 seconds

If I didn't skip cutscenes it would've been like two

I think you just go online with the game? I believe I read that last night.

 

[Quesa]

Servers are fine, yeah? Got in this morning no problem.

 

[depressedmetfan]

Yeah, what's everything tied to exactly? Hopefully our PSN or Steam accounts.

It may be tied to psn/steam accounts. When I looked at my fight profile earlier, it showed my steamid.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Well that sucks but I suppose a costume isn't a huge deal. If it shows up as DLC I'll be all over it though. Dat hair.

 

[Producer]

Any way to make a new CFN account? Maybe deleting the game off the HDD? I fucking missed one letter in my username lol. Thankfully i havent played that much.

 

[Geeky]

didn't Sega copyright this or some shit?

I think it was technically a patent. I wonder how much it would cost a developer to properly license it to use the patent. I cannot imagine SEGA wanting to charge too much. SOOOO many games could benefit from a VF4 style training mode. We have Tekken, MK, SF, KI, Xrd, and several other games right now on the market.

They aren't doing anything with it right now.

 

[Primethius]

Servers stable yet?

Stable so far for me on PS4.

I saw some PC folks having issues earlier still though.

 

[Xater]

I'll never be good with him, but Dhalsim seems to be the best he has been in a while?

 

[mbpm1]

F.A.N.G is the best new character to come out of fighting games in years.

I believe in the sentiment so much that I wrote about it!

Actually, he's the 2nd best.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Any sales anywhere on this? Seems like it should he $40 or less with the current content.

 

[Westlo]

Imagine this game has an arcade ladder when a boss that stomped on casuals like Seth did or worse like an SNK boss (remember how many people needed help to beat him in vanilla SFIV lol). Imagine they're about to win, imagine CFN serves spits the dummy and kicks them out of arcade mode.

would've been lolz.

 

[Rhaknar]

someone posted a video for FANG players to watch, what was it? cant find it anymore

 

[BotoxAgent]

I keep fucking up my meaty setups. I still have a lot of SFIV unlearning to do lol

 

[A.E Suggs]

So servers are working ok now? I can run home and try on my lunch break.

Still can't believe CFN isn't email based.... just a recipe for disaster..



It was in 3S, IV and SFxTK, what SF game missed out on a basic feature it the age of forums except for V?

Well 2 of the 3 games bombed and people complained heavely about other issues of those games, there's always something. For some odd reason even with a story people hated sfxtk arcade mode when Iloved that. People kept comparing it to MK9 and so even if this game had arcade mode there'd still be complaints, it just wouldn't end. That said sf5 is the only mainline game with no arcade release so maybe that's why there is no arcade mode, I just wish the story prologues were a little longer.

 

[Zombegoast]

I noticed frame drops when Ryu did his V-Trigger in Training mode on PC. Meanwhile online matches had been smooth.

Using the same aging laptop that I used in the Beta but never had this issue. I have to test it on my other computer to see if it still happens.

 

[03sho]

It would have been really trivial to have created an Arcade mode by padding out Story Mode with extra (non-story) battles and adding a difficulty setting. I'm surprised Capcom didn't realize that reviewers/customers would miss it.



Only in training mode.



The AI goes up in difficulty after ~25 matches and probably again at some point thereafter. Don't know the entire set of break points, as I haven't played "Hell" (100 match) survival.

So when you're playing the character stories what difficulty is that on?

 

[lucebuce12]

This one?

For anyone who plans to main or learn FANG, watch these videos

[Reverb Shock]

The servers seem to be alright in terms of finding matches, but on a few of my wins they haven't actually been registered for some reason... the game managed to keep my losses though.

Level 8 CPU is like Seth level

Level 8 CPU in this game seems way smarter

 

[storafötter]

Invite sent, tell me if you have any issues connecting. Things were still a bit wonky last night and I've yet to be able to successfully invite someone and have them join my room.

Edit : My individual lounge died, remade and sent out 2 more invites.

I dont see any invitations. This game is pretty terrible at making these things work so far. I failed to find any lounges due to my requirements which is on default . Hope they fix this shit.

 

[DiscoShark]

Sorry Risottoball and Storafotter, game doesn't seem to want me to make a new battle lounge. =[

Servers are fine, yeah? Got in this morning no problem.

The servers seem to be stable but Battle Lounge (at least from my PC) seems to be broken. Made a battle lounge and had it up for like 10 minutes before I decided to remake and send out invites again - blocked again.

Edit ... up again but I doubt anyone's gonna be able to join. lol.

 

[KTO]

So when you're playing the character stories what difficulty is that on?

A half step up from training mode dummy.

 

[TheSeks]

"What game has a good training tutorial? Capcom should still attempt a decent one. But not something like GG XRD, that one is awful."

Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution

Still untouched, as far as I'm concerned.

I still need to hunt a copy of that down just to see the tutorial mode in that. Everyone goes on about that and I'm sitting here with Guilty Gear/Blazblues going "these aren't very good."

 

[StriKeVillain]

The motion blur on the PC isn't all that bad now that I have several hours of the game under my belt. I have it on High and I think it makes the game look much better than PS4.

Also, last night I was on fight 28/30 for Normal Survival mode. Got killed by Ryu and had to redo the entire thing.

Could use a couple of more folks on PC. If anyone wants to add me on Steam:
StrikeVillain

 

[mooncakes]

Any sales anywhere on this? Seems like it should he $40 or less with the current content.

It was 45$ on green man gaming preorder. I don't know about now since I got the game an hour before launch.

I would of regret buying this game full price but 45 is a good deal.

 

[Fehyd]

Welp, no beard Ryu for me. Gamestop managed to screw up my SFV order. Hopefully that skin becomes available as dlc.

 

[Westlo]

Yeah I thought SFxTK Arcade ladder was good enough, liked the dialogue between a few teams as well.

W H I T E L I S T B O Y S

I will send some of my luck your way.

/SendLuck

Hopefully they fix up the issues.

That luck worked since I'm getting matches now. It's a crapshoot if any of the data gets sent to the server though.

 

[BoboBrazil]

I'm actually looking for the ps4 version. Thanks though.

 

[GoldandBlue]

I have no idea whats going on. Once I'm able to get to the menu, the Battle Network option keeps opening up. If I try to pick Story Mode, Training, or anything else they don't open, the network options thing does instead.

 

[Marvel]

Npc's in the background on 4 kings stage making me laugh mid-fight. Not good lol

 

[Windforce]

So when you're playing the character stories what difficulty is that on?

It's something nearly braindead easy - the AI mostly crouches all the time and eats any flying kicks/overheads you throw at it. Not to mention your character has full V-Trigger and CA bars.

 

[Spy]

Are people quitting in droves when they lose in ranked? Won 3 so far and lost 1. All 3 of my wins failed to send match to server while my one loss went through fine.

 

[LakeEarth]

Streaks over at 12. FANG is tricky as hell. Lots of cross up shenanigans and some quick normals for those ranges.

With no punishment for disconnecting it seems probable.

 

[The Lone Dragon]

2? The first, best selling one?

Also, other game series have omitted it.

It can be redundant if there are other ways to play the CPU...which is probably why they omitted it.
The training mode VS CPU option allows for rounds, unlike SF4 or SFxT.

Just got the game! Are they done with resetting the server?

 

[vg260]

I would really like to see Capcom follow KI's lead like they're doing for season 3 with alternate inputs for the v-skill and v-trigger functions.

KI has a very similar layout to SFV. In KI, the throw is LP+LK like SFV, and they have functions for MP+MK, and a very similar HP+HK for instinct mode, which is essentially KI's v-trigger.

However, KI season 3 will allow MP+LK to act as MP+MK, and HP+LK to act as HP+HK.
It makes it much less awkward when using a stick as you can keep your thumb over the LK button.

Being able to do MP+LK for V-skill and HP+LK for V-trigger would be way less finger-contorting for sticks and a very welcome addition.
