My purple Necalli begs to differ!
I would also have the silver-blue Necalli, if not for the fact that just doing 30 rounds of "normal" survival was boring enough ..

My badass pink Ken outfit agrees!
 
Haha just fought this dude who let me do Mikas V Skill all the way and let me throw him. What a legend.

Ha, last time someone tried that with me they thought they were being so clever.... When I had a full meter. I just taunted along and pretended it I didn't know what it did, then input the CA... Then got disconnected somehow. WONDER WHAT HAPPENED.
 
The problem is with this and other connection numbers in other games is that it's a 4 when the connection is established, but it might only be for that second. Especially if they're on WiFi as it might be up and down all over the place.

Yeah now that I think of it it was kinda symptomatic of a wifi warrior. Still don't feel good about it anyway :/
I was very surprised because every other match has been absolutely flawless. When it works "as intended" this netcode is glorious.
 
40002 error before a game loaded, and I doubt eu servers are under high pressure atm..


I bet the maintainence was just to let the Capcom personel get some sleep..


Edit, got a 40002 again in the middle of a round 1.. Shit is not stable thats for sure.

I would like the Ranked match lobby browser to come back like in IV. You could see the connection speed go up and down in realtime once in the lobby and decide to go ahead or not.
 
It's a ranking system, not an XP mechanic. You can get 100 points from others as well. We don't even really know if 100 points is a lot yet, people are above 7000 already.

Tampa Bison hit Platinum at 7500. How the hell he did that considering is anyone's guess. I'd be okay with it if the system at least punished the ragequitters.
 
Oh while we're at it, funny story today in chronological order:

Am I the only one who seems to be doing the Z motion by doing d,d+r,r , d,d+r,r? It's not really a z motion but it works.
That's...two quarter circle forward!? Way too many inputs and it will give you a super if you have meter.

It works because it's got a motion forgiveness system, but technically that's a super motion and a critical art will come out if you do it on anyone that has a 2x qcf + P CA.
 
How are you guys getting on LP wise. I seem to plateau around 1000. Sometimes a bit above. Need to work on my game

2248 atm, though about to jump on for a bit now so i'll probably fall under 2000.... Edit - After that first match, more like under 1500...
 
Yeah you're right, they're mostly lame. Mika's last 4 look pretty sweet. For most of the characters the colours don't do much. Laura's effect her make up and skin tone though. Vega's hair colour changes so his are worth checking out. Same with Necalli and Birdie. Birdie's colour variations are probably the best ones. Karin's are awful.

Here's a link if anyone is interested in checking them out. I gotta unlock that Cars Necalli

No ice blue Hyper Fighting Ryu?? Bah.
 
Try finding a Hori Fight Commander 4... I got one at GameStop the other day for $20... The D-pad is serviceable.

And I have to pay $120 for such a controller on Amazon. Damn!

I feel completely the opposite! Hated the PS3 dpad, couldn't even do simple fadc's into ultra consistently with it. PS4 pad has been a huge improvement to me, I'm not a fan of the L2 and R2 for obvious reasons, but the dpad is great.

I don't feel like the dpad is precise enough for this game.
 
I'll never have black and white Chun :-(

Hopefully Capcom will allow us to spend FM to unlock those colors. :(


I would like the Ranked match lobby browser to come back like in IV. You could see the connection speed go up and down in realtime once in the lobby and decide to go ahead or not.

I actually prefer the new method, primarily for two reasons: Firstly, it was always a gamble whether or not a given lobby was actually still open by the time the connection bars were clear, so you just had to refresh, try, fresh, try again, etc., or host, and secondly, you essentially split the player-base in two by having one half hosting and having another searching for lobbies. Fight-request would (very) occasionally make you join another person's lobby, but that was the exception. Making it automatic also makes sniping people impossible, thereby making certain types of harassing behaviors impossible (in ranked mode at least).

What I would like would be for the confirmation dialogue to provide actual ping numbers, and show the country flag of whoever you've been matched up against. Both of those bits of information can help filter out matches that'll end up being unplayable.

I can only say it again: turn on manual accept for match making, it shows you a more accurate connection bar. I have set it to 4-5 only and the game still gives me 1 bar matches sometimes, which I then simply don't accept.
I have completely avoided laggy matches since I'm doing it like that.
 
After training against AI, watching some streams, and some play against a bud I decided to give ranked a try.

0-10; instantly uninstalled. Never been so angry with a game in my life and goddamn are fighters impenetrable. I only really wanted to play with friends but they're already much better so I figured I'd work my way up the ranks until I could hang; but lo and behold everyone at the very bottom shits on me anyways XD

i'm having a very trying morning and this has cheered me up, thanks.

if your friends already have a lead on you then you'll need to put in time. that means time getting your ass kicked, time learning why certain things will/won't work, time working on combos/punishes.

playing against the ai isn't going to teach you very much. the ai doesn't "get" mindgames, it doesn't get conditioned.

losing against real opponents will teach you something, but you have to be willing to learn and to pay attention. watching your own replays is helpful if possible, to work out where you're going wrong. try not to let losing get you too frustrated, just hold the Ls for now and improve.

Pretty much agreed. I just had Fight Request on so people came to me and that's when I could assess the connection.

Oh sweet, might give me what I want then. I thought it would just be "Do you want to fight now y/n?"
 
sorry if it was asked before, but how are the regions separated when it comes to matches online? for example my country is in Eastern Europe, so i can only play with others in Eastern Europe or the whole continent?

it's probably the whole continent. i have my search set to 4-5 bars and get people from everywhere.
 
Really wish Vega had his mask on in his character portrait card and select screen. Dude is an uggo in this game.
 
Lectures have been cancelled today. I guess it is time for more Street Fighter then.

I don't think that Ryu is a bad choice, it's just that he is also very popular, especially among beginners (for good reason), so everyone gets a lot of practice against him. Something like 25% of my ranked matches are against Ryu.

Well that is kinda what I meant by him being bad choice. Though beating someone with him feels even better since everyone should know better haha. Probably still going to stick with him for a while but definitely should try out the others more.

edit.

I wish his story costume was his default. That mask is so much better.

It's not region locked, you can connect to everyone. Put a filter on your connection quality to make sure they're at least good enough and tun on fight request confirmation.
 
I cannot fucking believe that after a week and a full-blown maintenance there's not only still server issues but not even a makeshift dc penalty

Utterly pathetic display
 
can't believe this is so laggy for me I don't understand how every other game I play has no lag BO3 / destiny / division beta etc I give up with online play on this its like a slideshow for me

this is why i think the LP and league system needs adjusting, add some higher LP tiers at least a platinum, super plat and ultra plat league, then maybe a master legue equivilent above that and the make the requirements to get into ever league lower as a result and LP point distrubution more fairer as a result. Should help people get into their proper tiers then
 
Ugh, went from 2000 LP to 1300 LP. This game makes me salty.
I feel ya man, I went from 2k to 1.5k yesterday :(

There's actually a platinum league all the way to Hero. The game just came out but in time the better players will be in their respective leagues.
 
No wait, I meant r, r+d, d, d, d+r, r which works for me every time when I have to do the z motion.

You'll never be able to do DPs on reaction with a motion like that. Much better to get the correct motion down now than get used to doing it wrong, even if it kinda works for you at the moment.

I tried switching to playing Laura half way through because I was getting so bopped by her. I definitely need to hit the lab with her first, she's so damn good IMO. Definitely would like to make her my pocket character or maybe my main if she proves to be super good. It just doesn't feel right to drop Mika though because I've put so much time into her already and I have fun playing as her the most, making hard reads and grabs with her feels so satisfying. I just can't keep it consistent, I either bop someone really good, or I get bopped myself or it's a close game.
 
I've been obsessively playing and enjoying this game but it is starting to piss me off just how ropey some of it is. Still taking too long to get into fights. My battle profile still doesn't show its stats, people are still Rage quitting when they lose and not being punished. Not convinced Capcom are taking it seriously. Surely after a week and all those betas it shouldn't be like this.

well in that case just lower the requirements at least for the lower maybe up to gold, and definitely make point distrbution better as atm its rather wonky

ChrisG and JWong spent some time with her and thought she was weak.
 
My Hard Survival with Karin nightmare is finally over. Fight Request is a lifesaver. I even was in a super animation that would kill me and I got one right at the last second.

Daaaamn, congrats! I'll get back to the endless grind tonight.

A bottomless curse, a bottomless sea.

Playing against the AI is not training. Playing against the AI doesn't teach you how to do anything but beat the AI. Do not expect to be able to beat anyone because you played a bit against the AI. Your first few ranked matches are the beginning of your real training, analyze those matches and try to figure out/research what you could do to improve.
IMO it's the poor matchmaking that makes the online extremely unfriendly. I almost feel guilty when I get like 5-8 matches in a row against people clearly just starting out. Then of course it's balanced out by me getting into 5-8 in a row against people in a way higher rank. But it stops beginners from being able to get into a groove and having some sort of progression and it can get extremely frustrating.

Just stick to it I guess. Key to online is learning to block properly and also punishing.

Round 44 Mika is probably the hardest one. Birdie can be a bitch too but he can be controlled if you space your cross ups correctly. Bison and Necalli at the end was nothing compared to Mika.

Mika is impossible. Fighting Karin is the best in survival... Why can't it be fifty matches against Karin?
