Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
Wasn't it the physical manual? Other regions didn't get that. Nice touch if you ask me

It's not Sign all over again, because the publisher is actively communicating and actually gives a shit.
I do hope it's fixed soon, I'm with you on that.

Eh, that's fair enough then (assuming 1.02 patch comes out sometime this century, of course).

No important changes except for the fact we'll be able to play with other regions again, right?

Took me a while to understand your post, but...you have a JP copy but you can't play with JP guys due to lag, so you're waiting to play with EU game owners 'cross-region'.
That's a shitty position to be in, yeah.

Sweet, I'll add you tonight.
The tutorial is blowing my mind. It's a silly thing to get excited about, but I usually give up on fighters because I have no idea how to do..well, anything but this is so in depth. It's great.

What the fuck? Why didn't they say that from the start?
But yeah, this at least. They didn't even care a iota for Sign.

Hoo boy dem Elphelt unblockables. The more I see of her the more win I see. She and Jack-o have made this game for me.

Now that I think about it, Sin is going to basically be hooking up with his aunt. Lol fucking japan
I only found out about the ordeal yesterday.
Basically last week they said that "there was an issue with patch 1.02" so they were waiting before rolling it out.
A week later, there was no such issue for JP and NA, so they came clean and said that they asked Japan to give them the patch and that they were waiting.
A few days later they said they "Japan was slow" and that they couldn't do much more.
Today they said that they are confident the patch might be coming tomorrow.
I am not sure I'm too happy about Arcsys basically in control of EU updates because the second they get annoyed with it they'll let it die.
Hopefully not.
...what? lmao

Would she not technically be his great aunt. Depending on what that Justice was?

The real question is: does that make it better or worse?
It's neither. They're both icky

For us EU players, apparently the 1.02 patch will finally reach us tomorrow.

To be honest I'm not surprised Japan still treats Europe with mild neglect when it comes to things like this. At least PQube have been open to dialogue about it rather than put their heads in the sand...

@Shin there's a girl for everybody in GG 
Honestly I think Pqube has been doing a really good work considering what they have to work with...
Thank god.

You know, I did already, but I just somehow completely missed any semblance of romantic pursuit in that situation.
It's totally happening, lmao

There's no terrible characters in GGXrd to be fair. She's just not as good as the others.

Yup. Just some characters have it easier, but if a character speaks to you, you can compete.

Is the story aspect of Arcade Mode only in the ending? Curious if I can do a quick YouTube skim to save myself some boredom.
There's a little intro at the beginning, some dialogue between opponents on stage 7, some more of that on stage 8, and then the ending.
On an unrelated note, Kum Haehyun is so much fun. I feel like I can move around with him way easier than Slayer and string together combos intuitively whereas with Slayer I felt more limited. Jumping into the air to smack someone back down to Earth is immensely satisfying.
Finished the story mode. It was a lot better than Sign's especially with the pacing. The humor was really well done especially when
Sol and Ky realize Dizzy is Sol's daughter (though I though that was obvious for years lol). Is Jack-O really just gone now? Seems a waste to just have her for one game unless them make Aria play like her/do some bs to bring her back to life. Also that like 5 second scene with Dizzy was so obviously a last minute addition lol.

I bought the US version and I tried to find a match in the UK casual lobby and couldn't find anyone, no wonder. Any UK people want to playkick my arseonline? I'm fairly bad so you won't get a fun match, though
I'm on the US version and in the UK as well. Theres a version mismatch they're working on that means you cant play people oon the EU version at the moment :/
That's the issue with these tiny publishers bringing over these games from Japan. They do not have the clout to force the Japanese devs to hurry up.
It's also in part an issue with how PlayStation treats games in different regions. I.e. Each region is its own version. Patches and dlc are region specific.
I vastly prefer the Xbox set up where everything is universal.
GinoFelino

That's....not entirely true though, is it?
Regardless, the patch is confirmed to release on Friday. It would've released today but apparently the PS3 version of the patch is slightly delayed and they don't want to split the userbase further.
Well once you own a game in one region you own it all in all regions same for the dlc. If this was the same on the PlayStation I could just swap over to the US version of the game without have to repurchase any content.
And mostly the international release of games on the Xbox is the same for Europe and US.

I had a go of the online mode for the first time last night and it was really stuttery during matches. It was saying it was around 3-5 frame delay, but it definitely felt a lot worse than that.
Is the game's netcode not that good, or was it due to my opponents?
I'm in the UK, and I'm wired with 90mb download/5mb upload, so it should be working fine. Street Fighter V is practically flawless online, but this isn't. I was in the France lobby because that was the most populated lobby; would that make any difference? Also, can I see where my opponent is from?
A few of the matches were OK, but when they were stuttering it was unplayable levels of stutter.

What's your PSN? I'm down to have some games if you want.

Are the characters still free in the EU? I plan on going physical, can I get the characters? This shit is so confusing.

Trying to make an actual effort to learn the game properly this time. Like Jam, Chipp and maybe Ephelt from doing the challenges. Does Chipp still have the relatively higher execution barrier?
Yes.
Don't be discouraged by that though, a very simple chain into 2D will go a long way. You can learn the more complicated stuff at a comfortable pace, the main thing you want when starting out with Chipp is to get that knockdown and then go for a mixup.
So I jumped back into Xrd with -R- launch and still struggle with I-no's 6P > 5H > IAD jK (on characters where it supposedly works, of course).
Sometimes I manage to land it by hitting 8 during the 5H and then 66>jK right after, but can't make it work going with 96 IAD. Is it impossible to do so with 96 or is it just timing?
