SFV had a different problem at launch which was access to online play was tied to their servers that crashed constantly. The netcode itself is good (and has been since beta) but SFV's problems lied more with matchmaking. The crashing got ironed out (mostly) in a few days so it's too early to say which "is any better."

Not even the lowest. It was $10-$11 twice on amazon since launch.
Those are price errors. Now it's amazon clearing stock.
Any chance of hitting 2 million this year?
It'll probably get a spike after Capcom Cup is over and reach that 2 million mark.
Nice, whatever helps Season 2 happen.
It will get over 2 million eventually, Capcom does a lot of sales on Steam and that alone will push it over 2 million. Granted they won't make as much money off of that but it would be enough to get over the hump.
DmC didn't sell that well initially but with sales and bundles it has 800K sold on Steam alone and is pretty close to 2 million now.

And once they make a Season One GOTY Complete Ultimate edition that'll help too.
It's been on sale on Steam a few times and has barely sold 20k copies since launch month, though.

Kinda why I am waiting on the Steam version. I wonder if they will bundle season 1 stuff with the game.
I think expecting it to make 50% of its sales again is unrealistic. EVO didn't give it a bump, neither will CC. It won't hit 2 mil this year.
I wonder how much user reviews influence this, too. Sales give attention to casuals, but DmC is sitting at 94% and SFV at 49%. You'll have a hard time finding a lower scored AAA title on Steam.
I'm assuming they were referring to the future plans for the game to be revealed at Capcom Cup, not the tournament itself. I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't hit 2 million, though.
Yeah, I'm sure they've got something in the oven to boost SFV.
Any actual comparisons by people or even a video?

Of the speed? No vids yet I think but TSS Atma has been posting frame data comparisons on his twitter:

Fuck, that's a good deal.
This is great, thanks. I'm glad on the Iori data since it gives me a good idea on how much it's changed. This is much more significant than what I was expecting.
And that 45% off SFV coupon.

I don't get what the big deal is. Even if you jump cancel Ken's fireball to dodge a wakeup throw you're at point blank and some characters can punish you on hit.
Although jump canceling a Power Bomb in the grappler mirror would be pretty hype.

It's pretty lame that they include coupons and not the actual games in the bundle.

Shin Blanka put up some possible venues for FR20

Weren't ibuki's super jump cancels? I'm probably wrong, mind you.
US Amazon. That Coupon works almost worldwide. I hope it gets atleast gifted a lot.
They were, but that's just a variation of traditional jump canceling. Juri in SFV even has traditional jump cancels while in V-trigger. The point I'm trying to make is that unofficial tech naming shouldn't reuse names of other techniques. This is especially true when a technique with the same name already exists in the game.
But isn't that technique also the same principle, so it doesn't really matter?
No need to ask for something that is being made anyway.

@aksysgames An English dub isn't looking promising at this point. Unfortunate, but just want to let you all know.
ArcSystemsWorks is being lazy with the final game after all these 8 years of this franchise getting proper localization.

cancel in to vtrigger. So the questions that come up are things like why only them etc.
Is that really their reason for "cutting costs"?

time to summon your twitter friends and see what they got, or do what other people do and lab it up. I hear you're representing us at ceotaku in vsav right? I know you wouldnt cancel your plans of going for something else
I would imagine that if the last couple of releases had poor performances at retail, yes that would be a big factor as to why Aksys/ArcSys is looking to cut costs.
