1) I saw an article mentioning SFV will have an online League system similar to League of Legends. I like the league system but can't find any confirmation on this?
2) How does the replay system work? does it save all of your matches in a compressed file or something on your hard drive? Will it auto-purge after X elapsed time?

1) It's true.
2) I think the game itself is storing every played match, and organizes them by players involved. It probably does purge because that's a lot of potential information. I remember saving a replay and having an error trying to load it up after a day had passed.

It's almost like Blizzard understands esports and engaging online content while certain fighting game makers do not.

same thing tbh
There's definitely people who have what you said but not the way Blizzard does.
They are just digital crack sellers and we beg them for more

on an TOTALLY UNRELATED note i'd kill someone to be able to get into the OW beta again
yeah i had such a blast with genji last time, I'm ready for more.
you can just throw shurikens instead of shooting a gun, pretty sick game

At least you got in. I still haven't gotten an invite. It hurts.
I mean if Unreal Tournament is my GOAT FPS and I like Bungie gunplay, how am I going to feel about this? I already looooove the look of it.

Lots of varied character styles for how you wanna play. There's quickshot headshot focused, shotgun/melee, all melee, rocket launcher. It's awesome!

It's a faster game than Halo/Destiny but not as frenetic as UT. Somewhere in between with a heavy "stick with the team" focus.

Yeah, the s.HP was improved. Less risk of trades / getting stuffed now.
alright, cool. I signed up for the beta ages ago but stopped following what was going on with the game.
I knew you was joking lol I just wanted to say although I didn't need to quote you to do so I guess.I was joking, man.
I loved and (still love) and play Splatoon to this day (getting closer to that S ranking!), I can deal with SFV the way it is now just fine too.
So you are seriously calling me a "filthy apologist"?

Worse hitbox in early frames, harder to catch crossups. Still fantastic, just not as derp reliable as it was.
Good to hear that it got a nerf hehe.
What content are you looking for out of curiosity? Survival mode alone should substitute for old-school arcade mode.

Purest form of skill, you need to earn all those hits.

to try and get into a game im not normally into, basically anything thats fun to screw around with as an alternative way to screw around. Story mode is the biggest, but if you look at ASW games you also get modifier based modes like golden arena, M.O.M., the best combo challenges in the business, and even things like art galleries that you unlock the items in as a fun way to just play through game modes. All of these things can help make a game fun if I can't get into it competitively, and would help a purchase.
Smash brothers is the best example. I cant stand competitive smash, but I still love the game. I can play it solo by just messing around with all the fun shit to do, then bust it out for parties for free for all with items. A fighting game offering those things means I can still get my moneys worth no matter what.
My bad.
That's...surprisingly solid.
Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do.
E: Wait, oh, you mean events and stuff. I thought you meant bigtime balance changes, lol

I like that it is constantly looking for matches and I am at a .500 win/loss so i suppose the balance is there. You can bind the keys 3 ways. I had my 360 controller hooked up and played it a round before going back to mouse and keyboard seamlessly.
I like the fact you gain bonus XP for beating your personal best or your average stats on damage, kills, assists and damage output.
There are level/character stats you can get rewarded like objective points, healing, damage absorbed, specials used. Its pretty robust.
I think SF5 can scrape all that data and surface it and use it as a reward for fight money (EX bar used) v-trigger not wasted, defense, blocked crossups and overheads.
All I am saying, Overwatch, the first beta was broken, laggy and didn't hook me. What did was finding the areas where each character shines or what role they play with other players.
This is where I don't feel awesome about. Its like you have to lead a target as if you are sniping someone a few hundred meters away vs under a hundred meters. And bullet speed is different for each character as well as bullet drop. I feel like the element(?)/bullet type hurt differently depending on characters? There are some near instant hit like the sniper rifle and the gorillaz electricity.
I am not a fan of the pop up and feel like some moves need more hitstun or effect walk speed when hit. Its granular stuff.
Trying to think of it as a marvel game makes me enjoy it and my co-workers who crack on DOTA like it (minus) not having more "lanes" or points of egress.
I think SF5 is a grower not a shower right now. Just remember how broken BF4 was then became one of my favorite console shooters of all time.
I think I want to main Fang. Seems like a very good zoner

MiniBossBattle, sounds like you need to fux with my boy Roadhog. You just throw a hook and grab people Scorpion style then do a Shotgun->Melee->Shotgun combo and dead them on the spot.

I played everyone now and really like almost everyone except Hanzo (hawkeye) and Mercy (TF2 Medic). I go too ham with Roadhog but he is great. I didn't know there was a dedicated melee button until last night.
Is there a Karin combo tutorial? I saw her rekka's into a whole bunch of variations.

and without even having an option to watch it somewhere else. I was skeptical about this move, but I'm starting to fall to the side that its just a bad move

I'm still not sure it fits his persona (at least from what we've seen so far), but damn I really like it nonetheless.

Reading on twitter, Wiz says arena seats will be sold via http://www.axs.com/
Tempted to buy a pair of floor seats and resell them. If Wiz gonna eat, I might as well too.

Not really no. Hell ticketmaster does deals with resellers in some cases.
