The downside of playing early is that all the good players have no points either, so the matchmaking doesn't work well.

My experience with SF4 was that after a point in time I basically lost all my online matches rather than winning some and losing some. I wonder how long before it reaches that point in SF5 - before all the people who suck enough for me to win are all gone. Unfortunately I don't have the time to practice anymore like I did in college when SF4 came out, so i'll be even WORSE at SF5 than I was at SF4.

Maybe i'll just pass entirely ;_; I do wanna play though, but is it worth dropping the dough? I never even have time to play smash 4 online because I don't have time to practice for that. At least smash 4 was LOADED with single player content which I could enjoy in my own free time - not as much in this case - the reason I wanted to wait until summer.

I guess i'll stick to my original plan and see how that pans out - at the very least i'll have a good single player experience.
 
If I get the Fighting Commander 4 controller, will I need to have a Dual Shock 4 connected?

This is what I will be rolling with if my Saturn USB doesn't work.

D-Pad is still a little rough on my thumb.
 
I'm super hype and excited for the game but you gotta admit... not even having the dang Fight Money store at launch is bizarre and sad.

Not even being able to use the preorder costumes until the March update is another bizarre and sad thing. I'm assuming that UNLESS we really can use our preorder costumes at launch.

You can use your preorder costumes at launch.
 
Does he not know that you can do another Tenko after the Tenko? He really wants that shoulder for some reason, which is much harder to time, but he never even tried one more Tenko.

True, but that's with any fighting game though isn't it? The leaderboards can't determine who's good unless people play and start to separate themselves from each other.
Just saying that waiting isn't the worst idea either.
 
hey guys i have a question does this game handle private crossplay like rocket league ?

will i be able to set a lobby up and get a PC player to join that match ?

This would be correct, right? I'm bad at time zones. Why doesn't the world use a universal 24 hour clock and be done with it? It would save us some headaches, especially in this Internet age of everything connected. :P
 
I let the hype in my veins and just pre-ordered the deluxe edition from ps store. My download list has two themes and the game. How do I get the Chun-Li costume? I haven't really followed the news about SFV until lately so sorry if this is a stupid question.

This is my first SF game ever. I watched the videos from OP and this seems to be a great entry to the series. I feel like the basic mechanics are very accessible. Hopefully there's at least some kind of basic tutorial or training option to help me get started though. Steady flow of upcoming content is also great.
 
Seems like I'm rolling with my Dual Shock 4, and I'm 100% my pre-order won't arrive on launch day, so I'm heading out tomorrow to pick up that steelbook.

My thoughts, too. Everyone will be in the Rookie League until the pros or really good players have the time to move up some leagues and can never meet the rookies again.

Hopefully the leagues will work well to keep people playing with others around their same skill level.

How many leagues we have, again? Rookie, Bronze, Silver, Gold... and?

I think the leaked ones were just Bronzs, Silver and Gold. Maybe I missed Rookie.
 
Glad you guys like it :) means a lot
LETS GO!

Dude, for real, nice OT. Lots of info and it's real nice to look at. About the only thing I can thing is missing is a move list (but really, that exists in game too, so who cares!)

I've been a horrible masher since SF2, SF4 was the first time the whole meta-game made sense to me, so I think SF5 is going to be the first time I actually sit down to learn how to play this damn series. While online in SF4 I made a friend for about 1 week who played DeeJay, had a mic, and was absolutely 100% awesome at commenting on matches we either played against each other or in a lobby together. "Why didn't you punish this?", "Why didn't you super / Ultra?", "You should use your anti-air more", etc... I really need more of that to help me bash good habits into my brain. Too bad the guy hasn't logged into PSN in over 4 years :(
 
I've got a Steam Controller, 360 pad, and a XBone pad.

What should I use until Dinput gets patched in and I can use my FC4?

360 Dpad is terrible so I was leaning towards the Xbone but am curious if anyone has experience with the Steam Controller from the Beta.
 
Not gonna be any different at all.... until you move up leagues anyway.

I think that this system will mean a lot less wins for players who just jump in with roundhouse and do a dp in your face.

With sf4 it felt like I would lose to that bullshit more than I should have at the beginning. Crush counter combos alone will ruin anyone who thinks they can panic DP out of anything like you could in early sf4.
 
ok yaeh I'm just gonna buy it on steam and deal with it if my laptop cant run it, maybe refund we'll see. It says it unlocks in 1 day 4 hours, but some things in this thread say in 7 hours or less? whats the word for steam unlock in the EU?

ah okay.. I'm using my USA steam account in Europe and I guess it's basing my unlock time off the USA time instead of UK. drat.
 
If I mained Abel through every iteration of SFIV, who would be the closest analog this time around? Laura? I never played the beta.
 
You just know that some weirdo will be beast with it, though.
Those buttons on the back are probably pretty nice for a six button game, but directional inputs probably suck on it.

PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 Star Wars Controller - Darth Vader Edition (PS4)
Got this bad boy yesterday after being disappointed with both fighting commander pro and commander pro 3.
Maybe because it's still brand new, but I gotta say, this pad is has improved my execution. Rarely do I drop my combos compared to my other 4 other ps4 controllers.
Those white sticks will look filthy in like 10 minutes
 
Wanted to pre-order for PS4, but I don't want PS+ in order to play online. Steam Version for me! Cross play is a god send.

Will be using DS4 but those Hori pads are sickeningly sweet, so I may have to grab one.

You probably can since you invite people by in game id, which is shared between PS4 and PC, you don't go through PSN for invitations.
 
Is there a GAF SFV Community on PSN?

I hope cross play works out and hope to many people don't go PS4 only .

does the season pass unlock colors and stuff, i really don't wanna touch sp

Don't seem so which why i going to play sp for hour or so to get colors .
 
I'm guessing if you don't have an internet connection worth playing videogames on that this game wouldn't be worth it right now?

It's probably super-bad form to try playing online if you live so far from other people and know your connection is inconsistent. Would that be the consensus? I suppose I'll wait for story mode, a sale, a better connection and just see what the reaction is. I've never been a Street Fighter fan but this one appeals to me and the enthusiasm of the fans is infectious.

(I'm way out in the Caribbean on a 1Mb/s connection that spikes and drops all the time.)

Just put 5 starts as your minimum connection. Hopefully you'll find people in your region to play.
 
Beautiful OT! Congrats Robot Pants and gang.

I'm still debating if i should by it. I'm such a scrub on fighting games. (i know there's a great GAF thread for guys like me, i just need to find the time to dedicate to it).

Agreed. I'm sure there will be growing pains at the games launch but I hope they're easy to resolve. For all intents and purposes I am PC only for SFV, so I hope it's as eloquent as it's PS4 brother.

Edit: Poll to see which platform gaffers are getting SFV on may be interesting. I would assume most are going PS4, but it'd be reassuring to see a large amount going PC.
 
Those who have pre-loaded on PS4, how much space on the HDD does it take up? I need delete some stuff for room and it would help to know. Thanks.
 
I was out of town during the last beta. Was there any major changes with the gameplay/graphics/performance ?

There were more balance tweaks, yes.

You just know that some weirdo will be beast with it, though.

funny enough, if you set the left stick to emulate a d-pad it is pretty good (at least for me) - almost like a gateless arcade stick. I just don't like playing six button games with four face buttons. having throws or other macros on the back buttons was great though.
 
I'm unclear on whether the Hori Fighting Commander 4 pad will work on PC with SFV. Is there an issue with direct input?
 
Calling in to cancel my pre-order of the steelbook. It won't be here tomorrow anyway. I'm just gonna go out and buy it at the store, hopefully they'll have it in stock, and if not, I'll just be rolling with the standard edition. But I won't get any pre-order bonuses, so hopefully I'll be able to buy them in the shop come March.
 
I just tried him. Seems very doable with a pad. Is a 720 possible without jumping?

I could do tachi Gigas in third strike but not yet here in SF5. Tachi Gigas was years ago, so maybe im a bit rusty.
However you can combo into Zangiefs CA. Jumping Bodysplash > MP > CA, or just Bodysplash into CA.
