I agree playing for wins is pointless, but you can still learn a whole lot by playing on-line early.

It mostly depends on what shipping method. If you picked Super Saver, it usually takes a day or two to process, THEN they ship it.
Edit : Ordered One and with a free prime trial, I should have it Tuesday. But I should have the game before then.
How are the parts on this stick anyway? Decent, or should I swap them out with better parts?
Yea, I ordered a stick on Sunday from Amazon and it didn't ship till Wednesday. I got it this afternoon so it wasn't so bad of a wait.
Sry if it has been asked before, but regarding the story mode,
Is it confirmed that this isn't the same thing as blazblue where you get a extra chapter or something,after completing everyone's stories, where you get a true ending?
It would be kinda disappointing if they don't conclude the whole tournament story with this game. Or they are planning a sequel i guess.

Damn it.... I really want to play this on PS3. But I don't on a stick foe PS3, instead I have two 360 sticks. A HRAP-EX-SE and a MvC2 Madcatz TE.
Ugh... I don't want to buy another $100 stick...

Gotta learn how to land that single hit before what comes after.
and for that reason I don't see why anyone would hold up in training mode for 2-3 weeks without playing people.
but I mean everyone is different I guess

All of the things you listed are things that you learn while playing people. Sitting in training mode with an AI isn't going to teach you much beyond the basics of your character.

Not just training mode. You could play with a friend/training partner or against the AI. The AI in some fighting game teaches you a lot of things you would never known unless somebody told you. Try playing mvc3 on the hardest setting, they will grab punish you the moment you do something that is -1f if they are in reach. Lastly I never said training mode non-stop 2-3 weeks either, there are other ways to play and learn beside online.
Not really. You can easily learn fatal counter setups and combos in training mode. How Also the AI can teach you things such as true block strings, what is a punishable etc etc. Playing against online scrubs in a single set isn't going to teach you anything beside habits on how to beat a scrub.
Even then your argument isn't even a counter to mine at all. I said I don't go online until 2-3 weeks after game release (exception is if I'm comfortable enough to go online). I never said "NEVER GO ONLINE".
edit
Why is nobody taking into consideration of lag on the week of a game's release. You know how difficult it was to air grab dante's tp online compared to offline?

Once you clear certain character's stories, you unlock an additional chapter for most characters with an extended ending.
But as I previously mentioned, the story is left completely open.
I'm guessing it's a P4A sequel of some sorts. They hint about taking the fight to the Moonlight Bridge from P3. It would make sense for Yukari and Junpei to be added to the roster.

Yes. The mentality of not playing online because it is laggy or whatever is where you get an army of ryus who can fadc to ultra but can't play the game for shit and know no match ups.
By all means if you have a friend that is the best option, but actually fighting and figuring out what you need to learn is going to help you the most. Fighting the ai or learning combos over weeks is worthless unless you get really lucky and practice the right things.
One day, I will graduate from this!
Thanks a lot for the reply man.
Probably a P4A sequel is what they're planning. Damn lol having second thoughts of paying full price for the game.
Thought they would at least resolved this story leaving some losse ends for P5 or something but having the whole story end on a cliffhanger...

This is the stupidest thing I've seen in this thread and a damn shame. Don't assume that we're training basics like you have been.
Not everybody learns the same way, not every online match is ideal for experimentation, not every record feature trial and error snap is fruitful, and as for myself, nothing helps my muscle memory like training mode.

Likewise assuming everybody plays online is just as bad. People should use all the tools they have to get better.
Unless you can think you can mix up an AI for instance his view is calid
PS3 or 360 version? Regardless, I know that feeling.
It's not even a matter of me being bad at fighters at this point, I've gotten over that as far as this game goes. Now I'm just worried about the 360 netcode.
What's up?

Why's that? If it's the conversation at hand, I'd just ignore it.
Nah, it has nothing to do with the thread. Was playing Blazblue and remembered that none of the characters really "clicked" with me. Went to the tutorial mode and under strategy they're talking cross-ups, mix-ups, rushdown, etc. all in ONE tutorial for the character and that's all "WHOOSH" in trying to take it in.
BB's tutorial is good for the basics, but teaching people the various nuances of the characters is where it fails.
Plus, while I like fighting games, I hate the community and am guaranteed to get hate mail no matter what the fuck I do in a round and I don't like having my message box stuffed full of bullshit. Wish PSN's privacy settings let messages be friends only. Would save me a headache. Along with me being a casual player and after the first week most people are going to be 20x better at the game than I ever will be. So...
That's kinda my apprehension with the game, but it has plenty of other things to do besides online, if that helps.
Can't say I'm really fond of the fighting game community myself
I'm sure someone will say otherwise, but I've always found Arc System Works fighting games far easier to learn than any other fighter.
I still think David Sirlin's tutorial for SSF2T is still one of the best I've ever seen, as it actually TAUGHT stuff. It doesn't quite apply to ASW games beyond the basics of cross-ups and zoning, but I'm still a believer after watching it, taking in the info, and getting my first win online.
Not online, but I've always avoided excessive talk from the FGC on forums.
Absolutely not. The game's beginner friendly nature will help a lot.
Trash talk comes with the territory I think. Same deal for the DOTA2 GAF community. I think once you get to know everyone you come to realize most of it is probably just friendly banter.

lol that's a silly thing to do
Seems more laid back for the most part, but there will be a couple of douches.
I'll probably stick to friendly matches anyway.
Coincidentally, I avoid the communities for MOBAs for that exact same reason. It puts me in a bad mood, even if it's not directed at me at all.
Posts like yours are exactly the reason I avoid it.
Psn does have that option somewhere. I recall seeing it. Try privacy in account settings
Oh, I know. I played Guilty Gear
offline

People said that about VF5's online and yet the same bullshit happened there and completely turned me off the online mode of VF5 despite them doing the sensible route of making the achievements not bullshit for the online portion. *shrug*
I think the only reason I'm going to play online is for that rank achievement quickly and then attempt to get the C+ style one. After that I'll probably go back to offline mode and never look back.
I completely understand what you're saying, I'm the same way. I'll get pissed at people in the DOTA thread for giving people too much shit. Usually though it is just friendly shit talk among friends and not the real deal. Granted, I'm only speaking for the DOTA2 thread. I'm usually in the GAF mumble with them every day, there's some nice people in the community.
Someone said a page or two ago that the netcode is supposed to be pretty bad.
Could have sworn it was you
As in netcode or input lag?
Aigis combo video. Le gasp. MUST WATCH.
When I beat people in MVC3 when I put it on idiot mode I got so much hate mail it was hilarious.
I played a ton of MK9 online and didn't get much mail of any kind.
Small sample sizes
See, I'd love to get that kind of hate mail. That would be amazing.
