they built a game only for the FGC, and thats the only people that bought it
I think 2 million by the end of this fiscal year?
It is the next Street Fighter. It should be just as popular as Mortal Kombat.
2 million shipped I believe
Whoa there, before the end of March? I thought they would probably reach 2 million either end of April or May at the latest.
Kind of a tight window there.

There should be a way to detect connections that = slideshow and either drop the match without penalizing players or prevent it from occurring in the first place.
It will continue selling well with time I think since they are going to be releasing new content/characters almost monthly so the game will be in the news and whatnot often.
How much did MKX sell on just PS4?

List credits as the last option in the options menu, not above the general settings.
Survival mode is unacceptable and so is farming it for colors.
Not being able to select stages online feels limiting, especially in lobbies.
Give the options to change characters in lobbies without having to go back to the lobby screen and change characters. Lobbies should essentially function as versus except online much like Endless in IV.
In training mode why can I not turn stun off just because I've programmed the Ai with a recording?!
Are you delaying your throw after the tick?! There's enough time to AA their vertical jump even with cr.HP, or better yet, buffer EX Psycho Inferno or a Critical Art after the throw if you have the meter. Vertical jump might work against command throws, but definitely doesn't punish normal throws. Long as you keep the possibility of them jumping in mind every time you go for a throw, should be easy to deal with.
The game sold about half what it did for SF4 just on PS3.
SF4 Launch Week Sales
PS3- 47,000
360- 41,000

Go to share and then make it so anyone can view and edit.

agree with all of this
~34k or something like that.
The UK is a pretty small market for fighters. They were less than 8% of the SFIV series' sales. They also get pretty screwed in terms of digital download prices so that region tends to skew heavy retail still.
I wouldn't expect SFV to match SFIV's month 1 performance. Capcom doesn't either, looking at their FY projections. 2 million by the end of the fiscal year is 20% lower than what they actually did for SFIV in the same time frame. I don't think their launch plans are as much of a misstep as the average gamer seems to. I'm more interested in seeing what things look like in the Sept-Oct range.

Not sure if this counts outside gameplay, but please allow us to turn off npc's. Let us pick which stages we want npc's off in fact. I like the npc's in the India stage but don't like the NPC's in the Brazil stage and the NPC's at Kanzuki Estate ruin what is essentially the best stage in the game.
If MK sold that much then SFV didn't do so bad.
Daytime Kanzuki Estate with no NPCs is already in the game, why can't I play there?

Hey maybe if we get rid of the 30 random NPCs (which look like dreamcast models) dancing around in every background we could get them running at 60 FPS...
I'm sure you'll be able to in the future - for a price.
DLC.

I'm not sure why they'd put daytime stages behind paywall.
The music changes from round to round anyways. Just make round one night and round two day like in KOF.
This whole, "day time version of a stage is actually a new stage" crap is awful. Have artistic merit. Imagine the first round ending in Hillside Plaza and then in round 2 it's night and this is playing.
Stop trying put everything behind a paywall and make the presentation of the game tight as fuck.

Well.. Capcom had stages that changed like that (day and night cycles) in USF4... but it just feels like (because all the story mode costumes are DLC) it's going to be a pay thing this time around.
What are the rankings? Super/Ultra Bronze/Silver/Gold?
Cindi Mayweather

No, SFIV didn't have stages that changed. SFIV had a seperate stage. A day version and a night version. It's dumb and pads the stage list. These are the same stage. Just make them different rounds.

Not how it works Amigo. People are just going to buy cheaper used copies which are already available at your local game store.
Pretty much.
I feel like I'm having some problem getting earliest possible consecutive projectiles with FANG as well, but for my case I'd more likely attribute that to either not charging long enough and/or bad execution. Kinda feels like I have to hit the attack button at near the exact same time as Up registers else I'd get an awkward full screen jump normal.

- Being able to save a replay at the match result screen, instead of opening up someone's fighter profile, selecting the correct match and then saving it through there.
- The ability to delete a replay in your saved list with a dedicated button.
- Replay settings like input display being saved. SFIV did this and it's absent in V.
- Training Mode settings need to be stored too, for that matter.
- Being able to discern whether someone is offline in your Favorites list.
- Replays need to be viewable offline too. I don't care about retrieving someone else's profile with stat tracking not even working right now.
- Allowing players to send in-game messages through CFN itself, given the cross-play infrastructure.
- Soundtrack options being implemented for Versus / Online matches too, not just the main menu.
- Earning a character color after x amount of matches, with default settings being mandatory if they fear exploits or something silly like that.
There's more tiers afterwards. Platinum, Diamond, Master and Hero. There's 21 sound files somewhere from the robotic announcer lady.

Sorry, what?

Maybe you can explain the transition occurring there. As far as I'm concerned, that's a day / night cycle.
SFV already has the record for most entrants at EVO

It doesn't really count for IV if stages like that originated from Street Fighter x Tekken, especially if they were added to artificially create 'value' for Ultra.

which game?
I believe the previous record was last year's USF4 entrants at 2,227 when registration closed.
i doubt it is any of the smash games

Oh yeah, I specified USF4 for that reason since that was when they appeared in the SF4 series. Then again, USF4 was 6 years into the series' life, so yeah.. Maybe we can't expect that from SFV out of the gates.

Ah, I forgot about that stage. The USFIV stages do have cycles. You're right.
