Was Japanese release for this game the same date as the North American release?

Holy shit. Lol. Lets get cahpcom!
LK legs is +3 on hit and cr.lp is 3 frames.
Cr.hp cancel moves you forward so that you are still in range for the cr.lp to connect after the LK legs.

For PC it was, I assume PS4 too

Because you can pretty much get 3 characters for free easily in a day.

Except when the server is down you can't earn fight money. But either way I was demonstrating the reaction they would get from the already pissed off player base.

They couldn't even muster up any internal goodwill to approve DMC 5 when it was one of their top 3 most profitable franchises (on a game-to-game ratio) prior to DmC.
In between the Phanta Rei debacle, incompetently made sequels like Dead Rising 3, the neglect of their vast IP catalog, relying on remasters this generation and boneheaded decisions like the "always online" nature of Street Fighter V, I wouldn't expect much from Devil May Cry 5 either. It's opposite of how they started out during the 360 / PS3 era.
King looks awesome

There's almost certainly a flag in launch options you could set to skip that. Of course I don't know what that flag would be so I can't help there.
A quick fix option might be to add the actual SFV exe as a non-Steam game and launch that. Messy but will work for now.
good idea - will try that.
GOOD, lets have some consistency

Pls no
Rollback is taking over slowly. Death to delay based netcode. There are many reasons ASW fighters still haven't taken off on PC and this is one of them. Hire Lab Zero for all the netcodes instead. Then we'll finally have numbered ping as a standard along with rollback.
Whoever thought it was smart for server disconnects to knock people back to the main menu should be the one sweating right now. Worst idea ever.
If this goes on for a week I want to see free Alex. He should have been on the main roster anyways. Of course, his classic alt would be free too.

Pretty sure the real reason is they put their games on pc ten years too late.

That is definitely the biggest issue for ASW, but it's never just one thing when it comes to Japanese companies and PC. SG didn't get to be one of the highest selling fighters (or most alive for that matter) on steam just because it was cheap. People ask for rollback netcode on every fighting game launch whenever I check the discussion pages. People know what they want and the PC crowd is far less tournament-centric than the console crowd that has even forced Netherrealm's hand in regards to rollback netcode.

drop SFV and pick up puyo puyo 2 imo
He destroyed Graham.
This is a brilliant idea for all fighting game companies.

or even have an end boss, ever.
Didn't Injustice end with a Superman mirror match? Or am I confusing that with its tourney scene.
Yes
Might have more viewers if the game worked properly.

Them streaming the Lupe vs Daigo match on Twitch was nice. Had over 50K viewers which was surprising tbh.
I'd be watching (hands hurt too much to play atm) but I know the servers are fucked, as do most people who would probably be watching so that's hurting it badly for sure.
Their ideas are supposed to be casual friendly but the execution is not. Actually the execution isn't even good for core fans.
I mean the game might eventually be good but you have to realize this is EXACTLY what happened with Diablo 3 at the start. D3 had decent visuals and very solid game play (arguably still the best in its genre) but it had questionable design issues, poor online integration, launch online server failures and a lack of content.
Game ended up doing well because of the front loaded sales but Blizzard lost a lot of customers that week, many people didn't bother to return for the expansion. A lot of people still have a bad taste in their mouth for the game even though it's a respectable game now after a few years.
People can argue that same thing happened to Destiny (solid game play/visuals, lacking in content, questionable design issues) but as much as I like to egg on Destiny... the game was at least functional online during the launch period.
what about sfxt
Saya is the best girl. Recognize it.
Not this again. Vulva says this all the time.
And most of it was front loaded as hell. People bought the game before even knowing how it played or what it had. The game sold on the pedigree of D2.
And I really enjoy D3, it's one of my most played games... but the game lost a lot of good will with its fans that Blizzard has been working very hard to get back.
Also I wasn't even talking about sales here, was talking about initial launch reception. I don't know if you remember but D3 was pissed on for being an abomination during its first week of launch.

To be fair, Puyo Puyo is a great game.
I believe it sold 12 million units or so in the first year so it had some legs.
With that being sad fuck Blizzard and Diablo 3 in the neck.

Yep. In the morning there was a Taiwanese streamer with 2k viewers, and a couple of other streamers with a couple thousand viewers, but they couldn't get a match in.
about 80k viewers
In the end though, fighting games have all been tournament streams as opposed to every day streaming.

As far as game receptions, this is a pretty rough one. Gonna agree with Dahbomb for the second time in two weeks. I think I'm in a parallel universe
You have to look at their track record and reputation. Blizzard is held to high standards and their releases rarely disappoints.They can afford to make mistakes here and there and make up for it. Capcom is on the hot seat and every big game matters. They are one of the biggest disappointments in the gaming industry as of late and this is just piling onto it.
I don't know why anyone expected anything other than a total trainwreck from a Japanese developer who has shown zero capacity in regards to engineering an online experience of any worth.
It's hardly surprising that the stuff that isn't working at all (such as the servers at launch day load or battle lounges) are the things that they just decided to not test during the betas. Who thought this would end differently?
I was wondering how Capcom would Capcpom this release, and... well, here it is. The thing that gets me about this more than anything is that server load management issues like this are largely a solved problem in the IT world (at least for the load capacities Capcom is dealing with... it's not like they're the NSA or Google or anything). It's not like a decade ago where datacenter and server management carried a significant amount of monetary risk.
