You guys should really try to stop looking at the points, just look away when the loading screen pops up.
You will be surprised how much better you can do when you don't give up before the match even starts.

street fighter really is the only figher where anyone bothers with ranked. Most other fighters players will drop into lobbies and play longer sets

fuckin' called it, man
Does SFV have lobbies yet

Battle lounges don't let me filter on connection quality and still don't work over half the time. It's not a great alternative.
That might be true. I don't think i did badly against those higher ranked guys as such. Still think it would be -better- if the ranking system went and actually matched people up halfway decently.

Anyone know how MKX is online nowadays? A lot of other Tekken players seem to enjoy it...

long sets are the devil
But isn't that how you "git gud"?

Tekken has lots of people on ranked. Even at this point i'd say TTT2 gives me a better experience on that front than SF5, and that's with TTT2 having looots of rerankers/smurf accounts and busted servers twice a month or so.
But you're definitely right when considering anime games for example. Those are a complete wasteland after the first three days. At least the lobbies are like fifty times as good as SF's.
Taking the rank out of the HUD was good times
At least I don't just resign myself when I get matched against the Plat players now

SF went from 2200 to top 8 in a day.

I think his point is that this 1,000 man tourney doesn't get a Sunday slot for its grand finals.

You get good by hunting down randoms and shaking them up for points. Keeps things fresh, and keeps you on your toes.

Respect for the honesty. Now Marvel 4 will get the top tier treatment it deserves!

Nemo on topanga said that he doesn't think he'll get into capcom cup this year as he thinks you need 300 points to qualify, which favors players that can travel oversea often.

Yes, I think Pokken will be the Friday game at Evo this year

Imagine SFV with 22 characters, arcade, story mode, good art, no clipping, lobbies, trials, spectator mode, vs CPU, etc. What could have been...

Remember when we were saying in Discord this shit needed to be delayed?
I wonder where those arguing otherwise are at now.
Show yourself VJ
SFV that had Urien at launch would have been bonkers
They really have something good with CFN but the implementation is so whack.
Sunday was decided in Jan. Lol.
And Namco isn't going to let Tekken 7 be a Friday game, I think. TTT2 at Evo 2014 notwithstanding

They should be advertising premiers on cfn and link to the streams during premier tournaments. It makes no sense.
How SFV has no twitch shit on it to see top 5 streamers and for specialized capcom channels to bet fm on it IS BEYOND ME.
Oh man we just calling out folks out now?
I don't remember who supported this but it was more of "they kinda had to do it because of CPT". I see both sides of this, if Capcom were to delay the game then they would have to have delayed it to late 2015 (like right after CPT), early 2016. And considering that Capcom hasn't released much recently, they really needed to put SFV out there.
The dream is imploding

I was saying they needed to delay until June, for when the SP was ready. You were saying April, I think, for different reasons.
In regards to CPT, I think they could've just kept running Ultra until SFV was released and then just transferred the points. Competitive players weren't exactly dying to let go of Ultra and it was obvious from the SP announcement - that it wouldn't ready for launch - that the game was being rushed.
Think they would've have learned from SFxT, UMvC, MK9 & SCV how important it is not to rush a FG to the market and how vital SP would be to its success.
This makes zero sense, a lot of the top players have fallen off the map when it comes to transitioning from USF4 to SFV. Getting points in one is irrelevant when it comes to the other.
As someone who enjoys SF for the core gameplay, basic online play, competitive scene etc. I'm glad that the game came out when it did.

"Zero sense" is hyperbolic. Who's "fallen off the map" outside Smug?
That first part got me good LMAO!
I thought April would be good because it's around when the big tournaments start up but we are into mid May and game still feels incomplete so yeah they probably should've waited even longer than that.
