Street Fighter V |OT| No Options to Select

THAT'S BECAUSE... YOU AREN'T DOWNLOADING ANY COSTUMES. THE PREORDER COSTUMES ARE ON DISK. PUTTING A PREORDER COSTUME CODE JUST UNLOCKS THE COSTUME.. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SELECT THAT COSTUME WHEN SELECTING CHUN LI. TRY IT... LEMME KNOW IF IT WORKS.

I've already tried it. Selected Chun Li on my main account and no option for her second costume. Selected Chun Li on the shared account and there's an option to use her second costume. I've already deactivated/reactivated both accounts and restored licenses. Nothing works. I'm so depressed. It's digital version of the game.
 
You can just change your character between matches... I don't get what the big deal is here. This does nothing but help speed things up.
The only problem I have with it is that if I'm fighting someone that I've fought before and they destroyed me, well I might want to use someone different.
 
Or design a game that actually lets you choose your fighter before the game...crazy idea I know.

Frankly, this is a dumb suggestion. Players picked the same character 99% of matches in SF4 because you couldn't counterpick. This saves a lot of time and I'm thankful for it. Plus, lots of newer fighting games do the same thing (ASW games, specifically).

I only see this affecting Excellent Adventures.
 
Quick question though. I've got PS plus on my primary US account, but not on my PAL account. Whenever I use my PAL account to play, I'm still able to get the occasional casual matches while doing training.

Does that mean that you don't need PS+ to play online matches if you aren't actively searching for them via the Ranked/Casual menu?

Also, during the betas, I did not have PS+ at all, and was still able to play online.

I was wondering this too. I live in Japan, bought my copy and of course had to redeem my dlc on my Japan account, like BroBot said the dlc is account locked and not system locked. So I went and played a bit on my non PSN plus Japanese account to see the costumes and it was still giving me ranked and casual matches.

It's weird but not going to question the good fortune. Maybe since my accounts are linked on the same system it's still giving online access? Might need to try this on another online game too. New to ps4 so -shrug-
 
She has no answers for full screen fireballs/zoning and gets destroyed by grapplers. Characters like Chun, Gief, and a good Sim can absolutely wreck her.

She's a strong mixup character so once you let her get going, she's hard to stop. Basically, stop her from getting in.

Word I didn't know what to do as vega. I'll try to play lame hard when I fight my next Laura
 
Love the game play so far! Was wondering why there is no limited PS4 edition or even dynamic themes?!? Come on Shu, Sony make it happen!

I've been saying that they should make 3D dynamic themes that are just the stage backgrounds from the game. That'd be so cool.
 
Word I didn't know what to do as vega. I'll try to play lame hard when I fight my next Laura

Laura has it pretty good in that match up imo. His poke (I think it's st.hp or cr.hp?) is Vega's best tool in that matchup to keep Laura's out. You definitely have to work to lame her out, and don't jump around the screen with him since a good Laura will know how to blow that up easy.
 
lot of it feels like a set up for the "actual" story mode. Each person kinda ends their story mode in position to where "shit gets real" w/ whatever Bison is planning. If the full intro is a hint and not just a design choice, Laura shows up without pupils and looks a lot eviler than she is portrayed in her story mode...so perhaps she gets Bison'd or something. Ryu pretty much HAS to get over the satsui no hado in this game so his role isn't surprising.

I like what they did accomplish with many people's story mode actually...nice set up at the very least

I see what you're saying but you're wrong about the full intro trailer thing with Laura. She's not turning evil. Her pupils are still there. She's just lunging at Mika just like how Birdie was charging at Karin in the exact same trailer. There isn't any evil intent. Just fighting.

And Laura has alotta potential to be a interesting character. But her storyline was just... bad. "I wanna spread my fighting style all across the world! Yippee!!!!" It was so cheesy.
 
Happy that my favorite colors don't require to much grinding. Bison, easy survival done, chun... 3 survival runs. The rest don't appeal to me at the moment hopefully the urge to have them all won't take over

And having to do it again for extra costumes blarg

Dang, man. I'm sorry. If its any consolation.. I'm sure her costume will be open for purchase in March.
 
How to get into FANG as Ryu?

His projectile is bullet hell, and he has a swathe of escape moves. Normals with poison can keep me out for days.
 
Is there a list of BNBs floating around that's still useful?

I wanna start playing around with people that i ignored in the beta.


Also that feeling of panic when you start a ranked match, then suddenly can't stop sneezing.

She has pupils in the trailer. She is looking up at Mika they are hard to see but they are there.
 
You can just change your character between matches. I don't get what the big deal is here, this change does nothing but help speed things up.
Except after you finish a match you have to select to go back to the main menu and then into a sub menu to change it and then search for another ranked match, instead if searching for a match straight away once the first match finishes.

If anything, it's slower.

Not only that but it stuffs up with match ups as well, because you KNOW a guy you've previously fought uses x character but you're stuck with a character you've been using for other players.
 
Laura's story was kinda bad... that storyline was so basic and bland. She has much more potential to have an engaging and fun story.

And Ryu "pondering" his fist? Who the heck wrote the story for the game?

As always, Ryu's story does not progress whatsoever. His Street Fighter 5 story basically goes:

Intro: I must control my Satsui no Hadou, I will learn to understand it by fighting.
Ending: I sure learned a lot from fighting, but I must control my Satsui no Hadou!

Fucking TRY, Capcom.

I haven't played too many Fangs yet, but remember that his V-Skill projectile has no hitstun, so you can just move/dash right through it and take the poison (which goes away if you manage to hit him anyway). His arcing projectiles seem like they can also be dashed under.

Pretty sure you can change it from most game modes, right? No need to always have to go back to the main menu, just access the battle settings from the pause menu. I know this works in training at least, and I'm assuming it's the same throughout the game.

I think Lobbies might be working for good.
And I just noticed that Survivor is nowhere in the game at all

Yep. No issues for the past 45 minutes on my end. Got a ton of games in.

Please stay fixed.

Thank you for that advice. I haven't even gotten a round on a FANG yet, I just don't understand how to approach him.
 
You know what, fuck Capcom for releasing the game liek this. Can barely get any matches, lounges kick me out or just flat out don't work...what the fuck is this shit. This is honestly the kind of experience that makes you end up hating a game.

If your PS+ account is a primary on your ps4, then every account on your PS4 should be able to use PS+ features.

ah dang. That would have been neat....so yeah she kinda sucks. In fact most of the newcomers sans Rashid and his awesome butler are lacking.
 
Does anyone have it set to only show 5 bar matches? I find that 4-5 still gives me a lot of super laggy matches.

Haahah yeah! How about Ryu awkwardly saying "heehee." when Laura said she liked his fighting style? I just face palmed. Ryu, pls! Go back to your sexy wife, Chun Li! Leave Laura to us!

The character stories are basically prologues for the cinematic mode. So it's just setting up that the Satsui no hado is gonna be a major thing in the main story. We got a sense of that in the opening cinematic as well. They could have done it in a more interesting way though that's true.

Hmm... I'll probably be able to confirm this tomorrow since my US PS+ expires later today. (I just used the complimentary 2-day PS+ that was free for some reason). I haven't redeemed the costumes yet, but I'll see if I can get both primary/secondary accounts to use them.
 
Is the general consensus that online play is still problematic? Or can I finally try to play some matches?

I'm still traumatized from the first beta.

Dashing under doesn't quite work tho, the HP arc is lower.

Helpzzz

I always set it to 5 only. Played about a dozen matches, 2 of them were a lag fest, which isn't to bad. It's most likely the servers acting up. Hopefully things get better in the next few days.

His only real answer on wake up is ex dash and vreversal. Both can be thrown. Get dat momentum.

Most if not all versions of poison trap have counter hit status aka dps. If you get a good read you can jump over, hit him hard and negate the trap. Projectile invincible stuff blows it up too, maybe tatsu?

Vskill- the horizontal projectile- has no hit box. If he's throwing it out within midrange you can dash forward and throw/hit him during recovery.

All of his specials are unsafe if done poorly. Go ham if he does something stupid.

His fastest move is jab at 4 frames. Frame trap city. Outside of light attacks he's really only plus on c.mk and s.rh.
 
Is there no option to select battle music yet? It's nice you can change the menu music, but an option to change up the battle tunes would make more sense.
 
The replay system in this is an absolute downgrade to the one that's in IV. In IV, every match you fight online whether it's endless or ranked is saved. I just did an AMAZING match and it's not on my saved share videos. Sigh.
 
Lmao. <3 Lythero, check out his lobby shenanigans videos if you haven't, they're hilarious.

Just battled my first online Ken. Sadly it was very close to this video except he got fucking bodied from crush counters combos. Still you get gun shy about pressuring because on the constant DPs.
